Native American Akali

I think I liked the sketch better. I think I got to focused on the coloring that I lost the original flow of the line I was going for. It's so static now, like she's posing for a camera. Looks like I'm just saying, "hey Akali, look over here, look pretty for the camera". I wanted a more, "She's-gonna-kill-me-for-taking-her-picture-I-better-do-it-now-before-she-eats-me" pose; I could've gone for a more threatening look for her, but...this IS just a practice anyway. I guess it doesn't help that I was looking at old photographs of studio-posed Native Americans. Their static poses influenced my coloring process. :-x
