Here is a simpel and lovely portrait of Nizaelle, which I totally forgot to have done for valentines sooo, here is a late one? (Also need one for Asuzhen).

I have been busy as of late with learning and drawing human anatomy, hence the lack of drawings plus I wanted to do some simple portraits.
The human anatomy is a nice difficulty increase and there is so much to learn, but it'll make me better at drawing (and allow me to draw anthros, fanart etc).
It'll also lead nicely into have a better foundation for when I start learning to drawing dragons.

Retrospective:

I wanted to do a simpel portrait and I believe I managed to draw something somewhat decent.
The main things I struggled with this time around was of course, getting a passable shading+light on.
I also had issues with making the hood area look interesting, along with my lack of knowledge on the mouth area, which I really should have used a ref for, but didn't and it shows.
The spiked collar could be much better as well.

I like that I managed to get more consistent belly scales drawn on hear and the muscles in the lower part is better defined.
