=====================================
Adventure with soft shading practice continues. I plan to do a set of 3 with different color theme for each. The first one is obviously blue, this one green, and the next one will be red/pink.

Hair is the most frustrating part, in both picking color for it and actual shading. Usually I'd shade skin and hair first, then move on to cloth etc., but for this one I finished almost everything else in this pic before I had idea how to tackle it. Green hair is just to unnatural, I guess

Still, I had quite a lot of fun figuring how to paint those gold buttons and other shiny parts, and I'm quite pleased they turned out better than expected.

Critique highly desired. I'll probably do some fixing later on after I pass from "wow, that looks cool" phase into "who the hell draw this crap" phase, so suggestions are very welcome
