Art spam/progress of an avatar.
Holly noted my old avatar was beginning to look dated. Possibly because my hair is too long, she said. Also it's too dark in that picture and it was based on a photo of me when I was fifteen.
I've been trying to draw an updated version but I'm having WACOM issues (as in, it won't connect consistently to anything). The desktop gets the best rate of consistent connection but is slow and dying. The laptop can't get it to connect at all. I want it to be the USB cable/old-generation-micro-USB cable but I have a suspicion it's the socket on the WACOM, which means it is pretty much farked.
So I had to HAND DRAW several (with three different pens), then colour them with a FUCKING TRACKPAD, this is horrible.
First: fineliner. No.
Second: Mangaka pen. Not so bad but I wanted to check I could match the style of the original.
Brush pen. I did one in brush pen just before that was such a fucking pathetic mess I didn't want to post it.
The icon itself.
