Had I believed that this is supposed to be easy, I would have given up on this picture days ago....

But I have been working on this for days, frustrated, painting, erasing and repainting this piece.

I think this probably won't be much more than "something I learned from" after I'm done with it, 'cause there seem to be some very fundamental problems with the lineart that I can't fix at this point... but... yeah. Lesson learned... or at least, partly learned.

This is what I get for not having formal lessons.
