Neo (Patreon)

Love this tiny cutie :3 for this piece, i wanted to make content that was a bit more on the "softer" side just to mix things up a bit but still fall in line with the scenarios that would interest me into making it. With that being said, there really isn't much to say about this piece unfortunately since i felt like going to a simpler course of direction when it came to producing this. If i had to say anything that actually was an experiment, or a sense of better understanding, it definitely had to be the hair! If you see most of my past works, you've noticed that i take more of a liking to female characters with short hair. just a simple preference of mine that i enjoy c: however, that made me want to sometimes avoid long haired characters that i actually found attractive and wanted to make a focal piece for them, but couldnt due to the lack of understanding how to draw, shade, and volumize long hair.

So in this case, Neo was definitely an interesting candidate to work with due to the shape of her hair being swirled and wavy. At first, i was again intimidated by trying to figure out how to approach this. tried looking up tutorials on how to draw wavy hair but a lot of them were either inefficient, bland, or just plain awful (no offense to those tutorials D:) and then it suddenly dawned on me *just look at real life you moron!* sounds ridiculous that i didn't just search for this in the first place, it just sounds like common sense that i shouldve. but this is the result! to me it doesnt look too terrible but i'm much more satisfied with this than without the reference thats for sure!
