Mitsuri (Demon Slayer) WIP 3

With this piece I’m going for something of a different look than I have done lately, maybe it was the Mr. Darcy piece I did last week but I don’t feel like doing super defined abs. In this piece you can see that she’s still well defined and athletic, but she’s not as svelte as some of my other pieces. I like a variety in the women that I draw. Lord of different shapes, lots of different kinds of beautiful.

And I really like this shape. Mitsuri is supposed to be rounded and soft and I think that comes through here. Not to put too fine appoint on it, but this is really one of the better bodies I’ve drawn. She has the right level of rounding and weight where needed. And I like how the hands have turned out here. I can see a few spots where I’ll need to add some darker lines to finish defining forms but they’re not many. Mostly around the left beat to make it clear that the hand holding the braid is pressing into it.

Most crucial will be her face. Mitsuri is known for a kind of crazy expression in her eyes. Almost too wide or even maddened. That’s going to be a challenge to balance with what is supposed to be a soft feeling to the piece.
