Noodling: Procreate Art

One thing I find myself missing from college in the late 90's early 00's was all the wild hair styles and coloring. Am I mistaken or is brightly colored hair not as big a thing anymore?

This piece started out in my sketchbook. I “inked” it again in Procreate and added the initial colors. I notice I still haven't figured out how to draw fingernails.

It felt it needed something like a night market in the background to spruce it up but filling in backgrounds is something I'm not very interested in and rarely have time for. I grabbed a royalty free stock photo by the talented Jezael Melgoza on Unsplash and blurred it in Photoshop. I then changed the overall lighting in Photoshop to better match the background as well as adding a diffuse glow.
