Just practicing some values and making backgrounds in grayscale. I'll try overpainting once I get the hang of lighting and values. This is another version of my old red riding hood but instead of a battle axe, she learned mage craft.
I painted Gray Hood (Red Hood if painted over) in one layer and it's different from the line art approaches I've done since. Although none of that really shows on the end result but it's a nice exercise.

Draft:
The magic circles was an old hobby and symbols are based off scribbles. If anyone wants to know what they even mean, they mean nothing.

I like how you combine freehand and symmetry. Nice touch. The perfect circles really emphasize the magical potential of your meaningless scribbles.
Ask AI to translate your scribbles and see what happens. 😅

What it said.
Lol, magical!
Ooh wow
I even think your painting or artwork is better than the reference
Love this!
The red riding hood is dope too!!!!
Mehn😞
It somewhat looks like Ruby from RWBY, although instead of an axe, she carried a scythe.
She's part of the inspiration but then I haven't been good with curves as fine as a scythe with these shaky hands.
I see...
Oh well, it's still dope!!
