Cheri Bleu in Socks 2016

Redraw of a pic from last January.  I like this version better. Whatever I've been doing for the past 12 months, it seems to have made a difference. Learning, practising, studying other artist's work, using cool techniques in FireAlpaca, using different brushes. It's hard to gauge how much you improve over time. The best way to do it is to go over your previous work and compare it with your current skills. And nothing's more motivating than kicking your own ass and setting an all new standard to beat.

too bad i still suck at backgrounds lol

Cheri didn't want to pose in socks again at first so I said I'd give her a croissant, then she couldn't refuse.

Bring on the rest of 2016!
