I'm practicing values and a little bit of edging. The line work needs more work due to my bad shaky hands. I'll be aiming for thinner lines but it's going to be a long process transitioning from trying to thicken the lines by default.

This time I did 4 iterations of line work which I'll be doing 5 in the future. Drawing the same thing 5 times generates a different result as each version gets a slightly different change from the previous but it can be a subtle.

I left the draft layers beneath to show how much lines were added and discarded as I redraw the piece.

The problem is having too many style references I got inspiration from that there's a lot of areas in the work that incorporates different ways to color / shade / draw. I think I would have made my life easier if I just stuck to focusing on 2D visual works than 2.5D realism styles in digital art but it can't be helped.

I don't have a specific style in mind as everything here is a mix and mash. I'm fine with this result as it's more than I expected. I haven't been practicing as I used to.
