Female Link Friday - Experiment (+ Bonus) (Patreon)

I wanted to experiment with lighting, but I was dissatisfied with my results. Instead of forcing myself to produce an artwork that reaches a "certain acceptable level of quality," I decided to fight that inclination by creating something much simpler. I don't want to pressure myself.

Something about the colour in Link's face feels somewhat romantic; evocative of a specific art style, though I'm not sure what. Perhaps it has something to do with those colourful, rosy cheeks amidst a snow white face. Though it also feels similar to my watercolour style too.

Anyway, I've also included the failed illustration too. You might still like it, and it's good to show that sometimes even I fail despite being perfect in every way.

Don't forget to eat & sleep.
