Akio WIP- Inks and "Blocking"

His hair in human form killed me! Figuratively speaking of course or else I wouldn't be writing this. While I need practice on drawing nice flowing hair that won't take forever and a day to ink purely due to it's length...and the flowing. I expect that the shading will also take quite a bit of time. But hopefully not nearly as long as actually fixing with those lines.

So far so good though. I wished I got more done on this than just this little bit here but it's better than no progress.

Argy WIP- Lines

Yes I'm working with open ended lines. That's always very difficult. But I've also gotten the flat colors down now so doing the shading isn't going to be so difficult. I do the shading on the same layer as the colors (I separate out each color and lock the layer so I can do the shading right on the same layer as the color). The open area's gonna have a well or something like that. I'm gonna paint it it. It's going to probably be a fountain with lights on the bottom so the water/lights are going to be reflected on her underside (as well as light from the moon on her back).

'Tis a "contest" prize for someone on FA. It's taken me so long to get to it that I just figured I'd go all out with shading and everything.
