I'm quite proud of how this gal turned out. The level of minute detail was perhaps a bit ambitious, but I learned a lot in the process and am definitely going to be exploring the use of stippling more in upcoming drawings. I post a lot more process photos up on my Instagram (@cai_vail); also check out the creepycreative IG account, who I discovered when they featured a detail shot of this piece. It's a really well-curated group of grotesque and beautiful art from a lot of great artists on Instagram.
