I love how he shades her body with just 2 shades of color plus the highlight, same with the hair.
Even if its a tiny resolution, pixelated image, the linework on her hair is very fun.
It takes skill to make it look good with limitations like that.
The picture you posted doesn't have these limitations, you can have as many colors as you want, but he doesn't have confidence with his color picks, on her arms you can see the rough round brushing and he's not sure what he's trying to convey there.
