Artist's commentary
Jenny Wakeman
After redesigning her, I made this illustration already for animating. Jenny's body is broken down into layers so I can easily move them around, without having to do some extra painting.
I am very proud of what it came out to be, especially with the background. I remember when I used to be super lazy and not so good at making BGs, but I think I have improved a lot since then, and that makes me happy. Also, I think this is the first time I could zoom in a lot towards Jenny withou finding major gaps that I forgot to fill or some strokes that are on the wrong place. It's a picture that looks good both far and close from the viewer's eye.
However, I guess I'm gonna give a break on detailed painting like this one, with lighting that gets close to reality. It takes far too long time to be done and I want to draw more. Also, I want to try out local and flat colors more, I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with these.
I love doing this sort of painting, but doing it constantly leaves me tired. That's why I like to diversify :P (Lick)
Hope you guys like it. Give me your feedback in the comments, I'd love to hear what you have to say. Feel free to ask questions as well.
