Bakari and Asani enjoying the shade together on a hot day. I've been excited to draw them together for a long time! This scene doesn't have a specific moment in my developing story but it's during a time where Bakari is becoming a bit more healthy. With the rainy season, the foliage is a deep green, and food is much more plentiful.

Lots of shading and highlights I've never done before, and more backgrounds. Still tring to figure out what brushes to use for thing that aren't just lines, but I finally found one for grass. I'm a little out of my depth on what I tried to do but I think it turned out well and can only get better.
