Soooo I wanted CHU2’s birthday present to be a surprise but I really need some input on this really soon because this is probably the only chance I’ll get to draw today. I just finished flat coloring and I’m trying to decide how to shade it. I’ve never really done fancy lighting in different colors before, but I really want to because it would be cool if I could draw her in a dark room with some blue/cyan lighting, but I don’t know if this looks right. Here’s the original:

And I could just shade it like normal, or I could turn it into the drawing I was talking about earlier and do something like this (it’s just a really sloppy base thing to see how it looks; obviously it won’t look as basic as this if I do it.) Anyway:

Which one looks better? If I could get some quick feedback that would be fantastic, thank you for taking the time to read this,,
