The Damsel Yearbook: Nozomi Toujou
🕑 Added 2022-11-19 01:56:30 +0000 UTCThis took forever.
This is Nozomi from Love Live! She's one of the nine idols in the original show, and she's sort of a sneaky character who's manipulating things behind the scenes--not in an evil way, she's actually very dedicated to making everything go right. But she's definitely playing everyone a bit to make it happen. If it wasn't for Nozomi, most of the show literally wouldn't have happened.
So when I first started sketching some bondage portraits in frames, I had Love Live! on the brain and Nozomi felt like a shoe-in. She'd probably be into it. Hey, while I'm at it I should try drawing a profile view, I've never done that before.
It turns out profile views are freaking hard! I'm still not really good at them now, to be honest! And Nozomi in particular has an iconic eye shape that might just not really look good in profile view since even her official reference art just draws her eyes differently from that angle.
Long story short, I was tearing my hair out redoing this one, even four years after the initial sketch. I hope the end result is pretty decent. ^.^;
