Redrew a sketch that's nearly 10 years old! I like to think she grew up to have slightly more confidence. :) The original was drawn in Infinite Painter!

I'm on the verge of graduating and haven't had much time to draw (*explodes*), but I randomly remembered this comic and the silly conversation that started it.

I recently got a retwist and despite it being my thousandth time doing so, I'm still surprised by how flat my locs get afterward.

#digitalart #Blacksky #procreate
A panel of simple comic featuring the author's sona. The left side looks up with a neutral expression and fluffy locs. The right side, in the same pose, looks up with surprise. The chibi on the right has slightly flatter locs. Left text in orange blob: "Before Retwist: - fluffy - messier in life - in desperate need of TLC" Right text in dark orange: "After Retwist - FLAT! (at first) - much neater! - so much scalp showing! - forehead much more noticeable."
