Ha! I bet that you totally forgot about my blog… I apparently did. A year and a half of silence would suggest that anyways.
The
illustration below was actually made over one and a half year ago, which could
confirm that I haven’t drawn anything since a looong time. But that’s not true,

painted slowly and carefully:
Hmmm… looks
almost like the previous step. Maybe I just wasted my time, but I actually added
some extra precise shadows and highlights with ink and dense white watercolor
