Speaking of things I've been drawing incorrectly for years, I'm finally fixing something that has consistently bothered me for a while.

It's not that I don't like the way I drew his hair before, it's that it was a genuine holdover from the origins of his design (a Picrew + the very limited Dark Souls 1 character creation menu), and I've come to realise it just doesn't work.

I also have a horrible habit of only drawing things facing one way, and I really need to fix that, and drawing this made me realise his old hair from one side just visually makes no sense.

And yeah, this makes four years worth of art outdated, but I honestly don't mind. If I want him to be anything, I always want him to be a marker of how much I've learned over time, and changing this is an improvement that is proof of that.

Sure, this specific style is very modern-day, and he's from a medieval setting, but I don't really mind, since it's not historically accurate/a real reflection of our world (he's a Dark Souls fan character, as I've said).

I'm annoyed at how it took me this long to really fix this and stick to it, but live and learn, I guess! Also made me realise a new lore bit, he cuts his hair himself with a dagger or knife.
