A woman in a T-pose for a reference illustrationm, an Ysoki Operative for a Starfinder 2e campaign. She's wearing a red outfit that looks like a cross between an officer's uniform and a magical girl's frilly dress, with black boots. Her skin is white and she has silvery twintail hair with sharp purple eyes.

Been working on a reference illustration for my #Starfinder character's alter ego/magical girl form for the past week. Proud of how this is turning out, especially since it's my first time shading.

Still lots of tweaking to do, but I've learned a hell of a lot.

Several gesture poses, some timed, some traced, one from imagination.

The free drawn pose I'm going for is of my character's alter ego and it might be a little too ambitious for me. But nothing ventured nothing gained.

I bought a tablet recently so I could draw my own TTRPG characters (among other things). Trying to form habits with daily practice, even if it's just 30 minutes. The go to exercise for now is gesture drawings.

I'm starting this journey at the wee age of 40 and shall call it #MidLifeArtCrisis #art
