1st ever attempt at digital art [WIP]

Now that I actually know how to draw using photoshop, I decided to redraw an old character design (since I couldn't be bothered thinking of something new to do). All my previous drawings have been a shoddy attempt using the line tool then lowering the opacity to let the pencil detail show through, which looks horrible. I obviously don't know a lot of techniques so I'm not expecting anything too professional.

So far, I think it's going amazingly, I really thought it'd look like crap.

*UPDATE* I know I'm not a regular uploaded to begin with although it has been a while, even for me. Every now and then I'll work on this for an hour or so, getting another body part done so I will likely be updating this as I go.
