Just playing around with a different style. I kinda' like how this one turned out, with its fullness of color and all that.
Furthermore, it really helped solidify my drawing style for the next couple years or so. Sure, I never quite drew exactly like this ever again, but comparing this drawing to older ones, it's easy to see that many of the pieces in my gallery have similarities to this one: the protruding strands of hair at the top of my head; a more angular muzzle; thick, well-defined eyebrows, etc. It's also very clean.
I like this one.

Funny thing: I went from thinking that this was the best thing I've ever drawn, to thinking it was really bad, to thinking that I should use this style more often. Interesting how opinions shift like that, isn't it?
