Here's a sketch of Falco. A male character for once and first time drawing an avain and it went pretty well.

I experiemented a bit with the brushes I was using, particularly using hard brushes more for the anime style but semi realism. It still gives me the same results as previously but I think worked out a bit better, I hope. Trying to get away from making everything look smooth, so it has texture to it, although it's still difficult to do so but hopefully i'll get there.
