Description

I got into a bit of an art funk last week, so I scrapped the two projects I was working on and started this Harley Quinn instead just to get something simple done. Since we rarely see her hair loose, that's what I went with (poses/styles we don't usually see characters in is kind of fun to me). The transition areas in her hair caused me quite a bit of trouble, but I think I did okay with them in the end.

I hope I did her justice.

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.
