Howie Concept (Patreon)

Just trying to practice coloring with a bit more detail. Plus wanted to try drawing Howie with his hair down, since it's a bit hard for me. He looks like a totally different person when it's down XD

I usually don't try to color with that much detail because I feel that for animated characters, adding too much detail can make them look creepy XD They aren't realistic in appearance, so I feel like too much realism in coloring  / shading (esspecially when done wrong) can make them look a bit frightening. I envy those who know how to do it well TT_TT
