In the ongoing series of me being taught how to art by my friends who happen to be art gods,  HydroTheSwampert took far more hours out of his week than I wanted him to to teach me how to use Clip Studio Paint and how to draw bodies, as well as techniques for coloring and shading. I learned a ton, and I'm really happy with about 80% of this result, so I figure that's worth sharing! Hoping to do a bit more convincingly on structuring the face and figuring out some body proportions in the future, but between this and my last piece, the improvement is tangible and thus very satisfying.

Thanks again  HydroTheSwampert for your time and patience in helping me navigate this exhausting and frustrating labyrinth of learning and experimenting. I'll try to make it worth your while! Hope this helps!

Character is Frank by  HydroTheSwampert, and although it looks a little bit like his because he was teaching me, the art's actually mine! :D
