A while back, a lot of artists on Instagram and Tumblr were doing redraws of their old work, and I thought I would too!
I've always been mesmerized by the movement of hair under water, as seen by this (slightly questionable) drawing dating back to the dark ages of 2010. I found the long-deserted PSD file and thought that for my own ease of mind, that I would finish the Goldfish Girl.
The original Goldfish Girl, circa 2010.
A brief survey of the PSD file was enough for me to realize that the file was beyond salvaging. The lineart, to put it nicely, looked like chicken scratch, layers were jumbled, and some were merged together, and the anatomy made my want to close Photoshop and never open it again.
Coloring and using layers was not a strength of 2010 Tina.
2010 Goldfish Girl was unceremoniously retired and quickly redone.
Base colors and initial shading.
I tried to do a workflow screen capture, but it crashed my computer. So here's a gif instead?
And 6 years later, here's the Goldfish Girl.
