Originally I wanted to do an assassin-like character along the lines of Widowmaker from Overwatch. As you can see that didn't work out and I ended up with a superheroine, although some design elements are still there. I also used a simple, but memorable colour scheme.

Style wise I tried to make it look like a picture drawn with colour pencils (hence the (cross-)hatching to give it more texture). Considering that I first started to do it in black-and-white and only then coloured it, it took more time. On the other side I learned more on how to do stuff with and without colours.

Some areas look a bit rough (like the neck). Otherwise I like that the character doesn't have too many details, because that can look too overwhelming.

my process (or rather meandering around). the pictures range from sketches, "help, my eyes" to final image

I made a few other concept sketches before that to get an idea for the colour scheme and design. Of course there are a ton of other sketches that aren't depicted here
