随着“黑历史”作品一张接一张地被改好，终于轮到 2018 年的那个“粗短矮”的理碧了。然而，这张旧图几乎在每一方面都有硬伤，我费尽心思调整好身体和脸型比例时，整体效果显得生硬呆板。我意识到即使勉强完成，结果也不会太好。

我转念一想，现在自己随便画点什么都得心应手，何必拘泥于旧图的修改——不如重铺色块重新画吧！真是“重画一念起，顿觉天地宽”。

上图是我绘制完 2025 年新设计定稿之后才清理出来的结果，目的是提升展示效果。但由于清理时间较晚，不可避免地引入了绘制新设计时的经验，因此无法精确反映重画前的最终状态。通过回顾绘制过程录像可以发现，原本胸部以下主要是大色块，没有那么多细节。

不过这次修图也并非浪费时间。我通过铺大色块进行了大量实验，得到了不少启发，也让我坚定了接下来要努力的方向：

启发：大腿的轴向旋转会影响膝盖及以下腿部的方向和线条。
目标：根据头骨结构准确构建兽人角色的“鼻口”部分。
目标：搞懂高跟鞋的画法，不能靠瞎猜
目标：姿势和构图要画得更有动感和层次
目标：明确骨点，不能光靠肌肉线条去表现人体
目标：明确角色的气质
目标：录制绘制过程 (从开始重画上图开始)

Meanwhile, as I redrew most of my past failures, it was finally time to work on Libbie’s 2018 design with the “shorty, chunky and stocky syndrome.” However, this old picture proved difficult in every aspect. After adjusting the proportions of Libbie’s face and body, I realized that the overall appearance remained stiff and unappealing, making it unlikely to become a nice picture.

I realized I could now draw almost anything with decent results. Instead of fixing the old, why not create something new from scratch? It was a liberating moment when I finally decided to do just that.

The above is the cleaned version of the unfinished 2018 Libbie redraw. The cleanup was done to make the sketch more presentable, but since it was done after completing Libbie’s 2025 design, my improved art skills significantly altered the original state. Reviewing my time-lapse recording shows that it mainly consisted of rough color blocks below Libbie’s chest before I cleaned it up.

However, this unfinished attempt was not wasted. Through iterations of color blocks, I gained valuable experience and inspiration, establishing new objectives to pursue next:

Inspiration: The axial rotation of the thigh dictates knee direction and the lines below it.
Objective: Accurately construct animal snouts based on skull anatomy.
Objective: Understand high heels, rather than making assumptions.
Objective: More dynamic poses and compositions.
Objective: Define the bone points; rather than rely solely on muscles present the body.
Objective: Draw with visual clarity, especially the character’s personality
Objective: Record time-lapse when drawing (starting from nearly finishing the artwork above).
