It wasn't really planned, the emoji part. I got this recent art commission and I was sent what I was going to work with by the client. Apparently, she had given someone else the job and he/she only made 'half-hearted' attempts.
This was the illustration given
So I started working on it. It was going to be a blonde hair but for one reason or the other, I drifted off her specification
I was making something totally brown. I redefined blonde I think. The hair was superb to me and I was like oh she'll eventually like it
Well, nah. I tried to work my way around the hue but it didn't come off blonde so I had to redo it. I was annoyed that I couldn't even screenshot the process but I drew twice yeah.. It wasn't too bad. At this point I had drawn the eye too and I was about shading the skin.
The color combination I feel is not great but I'll get there.
