My struggle with Cordelia |D (Patreon)

As I mentioned before, I did have quite a hard time with Cordelia this time. When I draw a character for the first time I need a lot of imagination to figure out, how I translate the anime-style features into realistic art, but as the style is so different I have many options and ways to try out things. This time I strived to make her look exactly like my other painting, but with another mood, and that was very difficult. I really still like the first picture I've made of her, so it put me under a lot of pressure not to screw it up. I've reworked her face like 6 times, at some point it really got frustrating, so I started all over with it. Here's the final version and the worst moment in comparison xD
