Ew those freckles and the hair shape and the whole thing ew

So this is what Ash's first human portrait looked like

I could rant for an hour about everything wrong with it but that'd take away from the redesign

For additional reference I give you the latest before these rendition of Ash

His skin is going to be a tad more tanned and his hair will less stiff as of now

Also yes all of these were exclusively in pen, this was relaxing, but no erasing 🥲

This ⬆️ was the first drawing and I was just getting a start on his hair so the white part wasn't in progress quite yet
Kinda a first draft

Love this

Cutie

Then I saw an outfit on Pinterest

Also no faces lol

He's scratching his head or sm nothing angsty
