Design Notes #2 - Akumi the Animated Series (Patreon)

Here I've started sketching out Akumi of course! What I'm trying to figure out is how I naturally like to draw her, what flows. I've stayed pretty consistent with her facial features and hair.  Her limbs still fluctuate in length.  Working out things like, if she wears sneakers, how will I draw them simplified?  Even if I use assets, I want to be able to freehand draw them quickly if need be.  I have to be smart with my designs.
