Current Events > ITT: Drawing progress

(+) Yeah! (+)

Didn't do much today. I have a migraine so gonna rest.

---

Same here. The last 2 I did have me drained for ideas for right now. I don't want to actually start my webcomic until I'm moved into the new place and have a drawing tablet. So all I can really do now is the character concept art.

---

Today I drew lines and stuff. Just for the muscle memory on my shoulder. I think that was the main reason why my lines became sharper.

I've been doing the same. Trying to get everything to 80 before Endwalker releases.

Did you know theres a Lunar eclipse on the same day as Endwalkers release date? That's either a huge coincidence or they planned that.

Loving the glamour!

---

That's really interesting. I like to think it was unplanned but a happy coincidence.

And thanks! All she's missing is a pumpkin spice latt and the illusion will be complete.

---

I was going to refine my picture but it was too hot to do anything today. Will pick up tomorrow.

---

None from me either, still leveling lol

---

Putting in more shading and shadowing in my picture. Almost finished with it.

---

Did small alterations.

---

I want to start a new drawing now.

---

Sometimes you gotta force yourself to finish what you started.

I wanted to quit this one early on:



This is where I was almost a year ago.

Nice! I love the colours used here.

And yeah maybe I should keep drawing on the picture. I want to draw the shoulders and chest but im afraid I'll screw the picture up.

---

Start with REALLY light strokes. If yoy mess up you can always erase easier. Next time though, start with the body anatomy, then the head. I usually start with the body first so I orient my head correctly.

---

Was out today, didn't have anytime to draw.

---

Found my old sketchbook. I used this one right before we got the tablet.

Always love seeing DB artwork. Love the style too.

---

Did a few changes. Also drew another picture I'll post that too.

---

New drawing. It's hard to see I know but I'm gonna draw it in more now. Just wanted to post this version now.

---

Going to see if I can get access to a scanner tomorrow because taking pictures like this are hard.

---

Arghh I wanted to fix my last picture up a bit more but Im gonna sleep now.

---

It's looking good, I like the hairstyle!

---

I legit don't understand how y'all draw anything on actual factual irl paper. I can't do anything without a trusty undo button lol. Lotsa talent up in here tho.

It's rough when I go to paper but I'm with out on that undo button being a godsend.

I also spent way too much gil on glamour stuff so I might draw my character with her new style"

This topic is almost over. Thinking about doing a part 2 maybe if I feel like it.

---

Thanks.

I want to draw a full body picture now.

---

Yup, much harder than I thought it'd be. Gotta practice these parts now. Tomorrow maybe.

---

Don't I know it. I'm working on my most ambitious pic so far. Putting both sisters and the character below for a scene where they get new wardrobes from a pervy gnome.



That pic is from way before this topic.

Looks good! Do you have trouble with angles when drawing? How did you tackle it personally?

If you mean like perspective I use a ton of references. Like when I draw someone from the side like my most recent one, I found a picture of a woman doing that same pose. I drew the basic polygons matching where her bodyparts were. I also will draw nude models to practice anatomy. Even though I draw in an "anime" style, I still want to make sure the parts are in the right spot.

I'll leave this doodle I did of my favorite character inspired by my FFXIV character. I'll save my big drawing for the next topic

Oh shit, I can actually use my character as a model >_>

Use different emotes. She's actually the perfect reference!

Anyway, topic end. Thanks for everything guys.
