Warrior woman in Porta di Ferro Stretta

I didn't like how rough the previous Porta di Ferro Stretta drawing was, so I redid it as my first 1200dpi drawing.

Chinese warrior in Ming torso lamellar, holding an Italian spada a due mani in a point-back guard known to the Bolognese as Coda Longa Distesa, and to the Germans as Nebenhut.

I keep feeling like this is both unfinished and un-progressable... I'm just not getting a feel for what's missing...

Trying my hand at putting in more detail and motion, as well as using layers more intentionally

My partner helped me come to the dumbest epiphany, that colored backgrounds are REALLY useful apparently! Also her left limbs are a bit fucked up, so maybe I'll do better on that next time...

Only my second digital charcoal, the face and hair are hard....

Hopefully the first of a few sketches per week that I'll be using for practice and feedback
