So I tried doing a legit gouache thing!! It was a sketch swap with my friend tintoraneko, and she suggested Shut Hell, which it turns out is loads of fun to draw hahahaha, so this came about, and I'm pretty pleased with it!! The background's kinda a sloppy gross mess, but I had a lot of fun with the figure, so~

Anyway, Shut Hell is a manga by Yu Itō, and the art is just so absolutely gorgeous, both the incredibly fluid linework and the paintings, so it was a real pleasure to draw from that inspiration while working on this... *-*

Hopefully, I can find the time to do some more gouache stuff before school becomes soul-crushing lmao, we'll see how it goes!!

Shut Hell belongs to Yu Itō.
