Medium/Style: digital, 2D, shaded cartoon pixel art without lineart

Notes: I used this piece as practice for my new style (no lineart outside of the outline, limited color palette) and using photograph references. I didn't know what dithering was at the time, though, so the jeans create this blend between pixel art and regular digital painting. I have a better way of going about things now, but it still looks nice, all things considered.
