Description
A fanart sketch of Jack from Mass Effect 3. This was done in 10-to-20-minute increments over the course of 9 days, with today being the ninth day (finished tattoos, went back over with some minor touchups).

Medium: Pen (cheap ballpoint - this was its final sketch... T_T)
Total Time: 2.67 hours

Day 1 (20 minutes)
Day 2 (20 minutes)
Day 3 (20 minutes)
Day 4 (15 minutes)
Day 5 (15 minutes)
Day 6 (20 minutes)
Day 7 (20 minutes)
Day 8 (20 minutes)
Today: 10 minutes

Takeaways:
- Jumping into a complex background with complex geometry is very difficult without a good gameplan (for me at least)
- I need more practice capturing shading on objects other than the subject
- Cross-hatching clothing fold shading is very different from shading with a paintbrush on the computer - but still tons of fun
- I prefer subjects with more hair so I can do more hair shading....
- Drawing characters that normally wear risque outfits is not a good idea when doing these sketches in a work environment.... (would've preferred to have Jack wearing her true ME3 outfit that's a bit more revealing)
