By the way, I've heard that daylight can help eliminate unnecessary shadows when you're taking photos right on the windowsill. I've been using this method for a while now, and it's been really helpful, especially when the sun is shining directly through the window

Alcohol markers for the main color (bright green) and black background, acrylic markers for coloring and shading, liners for line, and a little white marker for highlights

I didn't take a photo of the drawing, I scanned it and added contrast. This image differs from the original only in its saturation and a slight haze in the eyes, as I didn't capture them very well
