Here's my entry for @aranda 's art contest. This is the first time he's doing a contest so check him out. This week's theme is cat girl or nekomimi. Anything anime related, I'm in. :D

Personally, I like cat girls, I think they're really cute but I have never looked them up during my free time. Every once in a while I would see a picture of them in my news feed and I would be like "hey, that's pretty cute" and then I would just continue scrolling. Not a fan of Nekopara btw.

This time around I didn't do any progress shots because I had a feeling that it would take too long to compile all of them together. And since this is the first time I'm outlining a drawing, I felt that it was just too much work. So I only exported the important layers.

Process

After spending a few hours looking up poses, I gave up and decided to do this one. Cleaned it up... a little bit. Just a little.. After a few hours.. this is what I got. Was debating if I should cover her hands with her sleeves or not. Spent some time outlining and erasing some stuff. And then the coloring. While I was doing the hair, I actually regretted making her hair like this because it was really confusing to color. That's why it's so lackluster. And that's all!
