This is Mayu-chan, she was supposed to be Nico in the start, but half way through the sketch she started resembling Nozomi rather than Nico and before I knew it, she became like this.

You can probably guess where the name comes from kek.

Since it was a fail, I focused on shadowing with a technique I saw in a doujin recently, though it doesn't look half as good as the original stlye.

Anyway, how is it for a start? This is my first sketch in years... p-please be gentle.
