And now here's Yang -- I used a piece of concept art for the 4th volume as a basis for her outfit, but I think they changed it a bit when they actually made the episodes. But I'm okay with that -- I like this one. It's a bit of a casual look for her, and I was aiming for a style that would be a little closer to real life than the style of the show -- thus a more natural blonde for her hair. I also left out the trademark cowlick. I know that might be sacrilegious for some, but I feel like the way I draw the characters puts them in their early 20s, rather than their teens, and I think by that point Yang will have gotten her hair a little under control (and, generally, the point of the cowlick seems to be to convey a sense of youth and inexperience). In the last shot of her in Volume 4, she had a glove over her mechanical arm, so that's why she has one on here, too.The blue/violet/lilac (I honestly have no idea what color it is) background isn't 'her' color, but I wanted to use something that would bring out/reflect her eyes because they are generally my favorite features. Let me know if it really throws you off, though, and I'll reconsider this kind of set up in the future.Any comments or critiques would be 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 generally adjust the ‘value’ portion of the HSV setting to make the base color lighter or darker; I’m unable to ‘cool’ shadows by adding blue or anything like that. 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.
