Pride ~requiem concept art~

[PrettyNier]

i drew it again in a different pose and tried using more pencils (i found some pretty decent ones lying around, actually, including some charcoal, some wider ones, some thinner ones, some lighter ones, etc) and stuff and it looks a little better than the last one did, but
i've realized that a pretty big part of the problem is actually the scanner
its clarity (blur/sharp) and value (contrast) are kind of inconsistent



i've tried to circumvent it myself but it doesn't always work too well ):
