It's fun to share my conclusions from my drawings. It's always a learning experience. :drgn_happy_mlem:
In this case, I think the shading is too much. I could keep it to a minimum for my avatar, but I had a much harder time here because I had to handle more layers of depth.
I think outlines for selected features will work better. I already did this with my emojis, but for some reason I regressed to my regular art style.
Also, fading things in the background to white doesn't work well with the black outline.
I'll work on the drawing some more to fix these problems. :drgn_box:
If you compare this version with the first version, it looks way more balanced now, too. The heavy outlines are especially apparent around the head, so the lower half without the outlines felt "empty".
