Description
Byleth from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
This started off as a doodle headshot, so trying to fit in the body was difficult. I still don't like how the pose ended up turning into. The darks are also too dark - you can't see the details or shading on them. I should try to tweak the colours around so that it's more visible... Though I think I've spent enough time on it already. The background was also very slapped together. I also think the lighting effects didn't really help with the details, especially with the hair which turns rather flat with the lighting compared to how it is otherwise.
Nevertheless, I think this is an example of me drawing beyond my actual abilities, so for that at least I'm pretty happy with it. It's very out of my usual style of drawing, so I think it turned out well for that. I think rushing through the last few steps might have affected it adversely, so I should try to avoid that in the future.
