Felt like drawing a headshot this week and decided to revisit Domino, since it's been a couple years since I drew her last. I really like how this one turned out, though it might not be as easy as I'd have liked to see she's wearing her hair in a ponytail. Black on black on black is never an easy combo to work with for me.

Thanks for taking a look, and any comments, critiques, or tips are welcome and appreciated!

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
