posted this lovely little picture, and it inspired me to give Clip Studio Pro another try. My lines aren't nearly as smooth or skillful as theirs, and I was still trying to figure out how to make the Pastel brush work to my liking... Still!
This is also a re-visit of a picture I did nearly 2 years ago, which was a re-visit of the very first picture I did of Pepper. In all honesty, I felt so dissatisfied with the look of the last revision that it lead me to completely rethink the way I draw, and learn a lot of new styles and methods.
Embrace your mistakes, and never stop learning. C:
She looks sooo great here and it's amazing to see the amount of progression you've made through the years. I just skimmed over your profile and saw that you've reached 500 submissions between all this time (woah!). Reminds me of all those people who ask "how do you get better at drawing?" Well, the answer is right here, haha.
So how are you liking that Clip Studio? :p I've found that the pastel tool works slightly better if you increase the size a little bit -- generally, I use a 10-12 size brush on a 300-350dpi canvas.

Oh my god, I didn't realize I've done 500 already! Lordy... Practicing every day is a great way to get better (I try to draw at least one thing every day - usually I do mechanical pencil on paper) , but my guiding principle has been something that EtherSaga told me back when I started. Sorta paraphrasing now, but the idea was that an artist should never feel like they've perfected their skill. Be mindful of your mistakes and learn how to fix them~
I'll definitely try out CSP some more, though. There's a wealth of features I don't even realize are there or what they do. Then again, that applies to Sai as well. I'd imagine I'll have a lot of, "Whoa, I can do /that/?!" moments.

One thing I love about Clip/Manga studio is how nice the sketching is. None of the strokes multiply until you let off the pen. So useful for construction!

Aaaaactually, I'd been thinking of having the front flipped up a little bit and showing off her panties... but it didn't really make sense given the pose.
Unless there was an extremely powerful breeze...
...going vertically...

There is, actually! I drew it flipped from the original so that I could focus more on the pose and what comprised it, rather than do a straight-up redraw~ Mostly to keep from drawing the mistakes.
(I actually posted this a while ago on my phone, but apparently it did a new message post, rather than a reply... )

Okay, I figured it wasn't an arbitrary thing but since my experience in art is limited was curious behind the choice.
Looking at the three in succession definitely shows improvement. To me, the first and second are closer than the second and the third, in terms of focus, detail, and demonstration of experience; so it's a shallow and then steep line. Not a criticism or anything, just an observation between the three references.
Also phones are derp.
