Description
At times when you looked at your old arts, I'm pretty sure you have this intention or sudden urge whereby you wanted to redraw them into a brand new, improve version of the same.

But this time round, I don't plan to redraw from scratch but opt to try something different as part of my challenge. "Can I instead, do a major edit from the current work into a brand new look?"

A few times of reattempt something like that on this old work somehow unsuccessful. It's kinda pretty hard to edit actually, because your mind always conflicted that you don't want to ruin the face or afraid it might turn out ugly.

Well I always have this discipline. Never ever conclude and ditch your art away when your art somehow doesn't look please (especially in digital art). That is because you are still in the middle of process and you would need to be patience in order to see a good result.

So for those who always have such thought, I hope this WIP will enlighten you that in every good artwork, surely there is a process where you have to face the ugly part. So don't give up and keep on moving until you slowly produce a pleasant looking part.

Anyway, if you wish to view the full version of the new version, here you go: [link]

Thank you!
