More progress on the Monthly pic. This time, some lineart!!
As you can see, there are a lot of changes. XD
Honestly I didn't realize that I inadvertantly turned the perspective on Siri's face in midst of my edits. Also, found a photo of an Akita and I was so enamoured, I was focusing on working those features in more. Other than that, managed to get things the way I like.
In terms of my process, I honestly just worked straight off the sketch, It seems to be the easiest method for me, and almost at times the quickest method. I honestly should keep trying to improve on that front. The lines you're seeing are for the general base body, and hoodie. I started off working for the SFW version, since it's easier to just make that the base. I separated the head, body, and beads (no shown) for ease of editing the expressions and other stuff.
So yeah, that's really it for now. I hope to have this finished this week or at least over the weekend. Just wanted to show you all my progress.
