Unfinished artworks to somewhat finished

Just a test to see what is looks like.

Uninked, uncleaned, and unshaded:


Edited porportions and lines and shaded. Still uninked, uncleaned and uncolored.


Inked, cleaned but uncolored.


Finished to best of ability:

That third one looks great, but I prefer the second's shading of the hair.
Thicker and darker at the tips, rather than all the same colour. Of course, I imagine it'd be different coloured. I also prefer the roughness on the blade, atleast around her hand. They all look great

However, her face doesn't quite match her actions. I can imagine swinging a blade and smiling, but that's like..an epic blade swing. Jumping and everything lol. Maybe the smile would work if you added more mischievious eyes. She just looks like she'd be walking around with that face xD

Actually it was from a scene which I imagined where she is training by cutting the leaves that fall and at the end she is smiling cause she actually did it and insteading of cutting just one, by pure luck she cut another as well. So I think she would be pretty damn happy about all this also I see the smile more as a smirk.

There are alot of stuff that I want to change now but since it's inked I can't go back and change it cause of the ink.

Let's start over again. Since I have a drawing tablet, It'll be easier to post stuff.
