Before we get into the drawing, Cherry Kat is not my OC. She belongs to SomeFreeSpirits
I wasn't asked to draw this, I just wanted to. And let me say, she was really fun to draw even if I did suck ass when it came to drawing her.
(Sigh, of course its upside down. When are my sketches NOT upside down) This was the sketch that I started out with. I didn't do much when it came to detail mainly because I knew I was going to redraw it with my program. I used a 0.5mm mechanical pencil.
This was the first main sketch that I did. I soon went back to look at Cherry Kat's ref sheet and other photos in case I missed something, and I did.
I realized that she had a little bow tied to her tail and added that. I also changed the look of the shirt collar near her chest and shoulders to look more pointed.
This was the final lineart sketch before colouring. I narrowed her eye, brought more detail to her arms by drawing part of the gloves that she wears, added the small lines on her cheek (pretty damn sure those are supposed to be whiskers but I dunno), made the slits in her skirt, and added more wraps on her legs.
And this is the final product. Sorry that it looks so shitty
