Draw this again: Chase linesculpt

Hi everyone! This one was a toughy! The original piece started as an attempt to try out a technique taught by Kienan Lafferty. In his tutorial video, he explained how you could sculpt a character's lineart from a thumbnail using a kind of "cut and take" using opacity based brushes. This was hard enough to do in CSP on an old tablet, but the sketch lifting part was basically impossible from my limited knowledge of the software back then.

This time around, I was able to find an auto action set on Clip Studio's storefront that replicates the sketch lifting process, and with a bit of fenagling I was able to achieve EXACTLY the same thing as in Photoshop! Sadly, the linesculpt was harder to nail down because I stubbornly used the same brush everywhere, and so some areas had little paint at all, or very little blending. I ended up having to retouch everything on top of adding texturing and finishing touches.

All in all, it's a huge improvement and these lessons I will take into the next ReDraw!!
