So I drew this last year for pride month fanart:

So I drew it again this year.
Except I kinda used it as an experiment. Since the two things i hate the most about my art style is 1) face shape and 2) eyes and 3) shading

So i experimented and eventually drew this
And idk if it's crap or a breakthrough. I'll let yall be the judge of that.

well one thing's for sure.
He DEFINITELY looks gayer here.

he actually looks like a senior in highschool so at least this art style is better at portraying age.

!! wait revolution !!
rounder eyes make younger looks!
yes i have learned thing!!

ohh my godd that actually explains a lot.

im so proud of me.

I also tried shading with purple for the first time. And I know that's what everyone always says to do, but for some reason i didn't try it til today. (cuz i idiot)
but it actually works.
and wow this looks so cartoony but in like a more mature way I'm so proud!

Stay gay Gay-red Kleinmans.
