光る涙 (Hikaru Namida)

Shining tears or Glowing Tears or Glistening Tears or just whatever you think it is.

Okay, we genuinely need to talk about the amount of time it took me to finish this. It is actually DIABOLICAL.

I spent at least 3+ days working on this artwork. I didn't think it would take that long when I started, but I got completely obsessed with getting every single little detail right.

The tears in the eyes were the hardest part. Trying to make the reflections and shading look right took FOREVER and consumed pretty much all of my time and energy. NEVER AGAIN. (I think...)
Do people even realize how hard tears are to draw?!
As I look at artworks with tears that look SO REALISTIC, then I just do this.. and... and.. I'm already tired of tears. It's just… not good enough.

This for sure tested my patience to the absolute limit.

Oh, and DO NOT ZOOM IN, especially on the eyes and eyelashes, it looks... horrid. To me, that is
(I love how I'm saying knowing that you will still zoom in anyway...)
