Artwork: Sora and Naminé

Sora and Naminé chilling together.
This picture was a right pain in the ass. Anything that has to do with color always is. I couldn't get my shading with the black brush to look right, so I decided to use color for depth. I forgot how much work it is to actually use color. The thing that annoys me most is when I finish everything, it's too late to make dramatic changes. There's something off about the picture that I can't put my finger on. Naminé's face is weird, and Sora's arms are out of whack. I definitely gotta practice more. Maybe I should start using the pen tool for later pictures.

A bare bones rough draft.
Some extra details on the head.
A clean outline with the hoodies up.
Flat coloring with no shading.
