Do you mind if I copy the style? For practice and to see what kind of styles I want to go with.

No complaints here! As long as you don't mind me posting something I painted. I didn't have time to draw this week.

That guy took me about 2 hours. I did it Thursday and did this one the same night from about 6 to 9pm. Speedpainting for sure lol so there are a few mistakes on the beholder like the extra eyes in the back should be different colors. But I needed it for game tonight.

Here's the other. It's a model of the pirate queen I drew a few weeks ago.

Oh Heroforge! Me and my girlfriend were thinking of making our own minitaures on that website a long time ago. We customized them and everything. Was really fun.

Another failure of a sketch ughhhh. I keep rubbing out jagged lines and then it turns into an ambomination.

Bump

Just some random practice on eyes, nose and mouth. Wanted to focus more on details.

Just gonna doodle and draw every night and post it in this topic. I heard by drawing constantly you improve, so I will start drawing and hopefully keep track of any progress I make. By making this topic I hope to keep myself motivated to do this. Anyways heres a first picture I drew a while ago. Keep in mind this was using a reference so my future pictures might not resemble this. Or they will, I dont know how progress is measured.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Small adjustments. Might just leave it like this for now!

Just wanted to compare my drawing from the beginning of the topic to my last two drawings now even though they're slightly different styles.

Theres been a notable difference I see. My strokes have become much sharper?

Yeah your strokes seem much more confidentno shaky lines, no visible sketch lineslike you said, noticeable improvement. Good job.

...and what do you thinkshould I trace with ink, or leave it pencil only? I like the pencil shading, but ink makes it so much more pronounced and makes it pop. I could also use a mixture, as in; do the lines in ink, but also shade with the pencil...

Decisions, decisions... Im in PHX right now anyways, and left my art supplies at home, so itll be another day or two before I can get back to it.

I like the pencil but I think if you inked it well it'd really pop

I'd like to see more Ink art personally. Only because I havent done much of that myself! Maybe I should give it a go soon.

So its not a good idea drawing the eyes, nose and mouth of a character before mapping out their head structure first >_>

Yeah generally you outline the head, draw your brow line and where you want the angle to be. As time goes on, you need to do those marks less. I still do it every time.

Yeah. Half the face turned out misaligned.

Gonna continue drawing after tomorrow. Got something to do.

---

Finished with my test! Back to drawing and studying!

I really wanna draw but I'm buying a house so I have like 0 time for hobbies.

Do Taiga from Toradora

Post whenever you have time!

I tried to draw today but nothing came to mind.

---

I took a look at my past drawings. Actually bought a folder and put them in there as a portfolio. Realized I slowly edged away from anime style drawings and tried to mimic real life proportions more and more.

---

Didn't draw anything today. Need more energy, should exercise more.

---

I kinda have inspiration for a thing but I just need time.

---

Same here, I got an outline of what I want to draw. Maybe I should just start drawing anything and see if my brain makes something of it.

Those use of colours! Love the mix.

Eliza-Schuyler posted...

Nice on the colors and I really like the 3rd eye.

Here's one I started tonight. I'll probably color it tomorrow.


Young version of a character from my campaign during a flashback. This is after she was forced to abandon her twin sister who was left in a lab.

Edit: i also gotta fix the eyes lol one is higher than the other

---

Fixed her eyeballs

Damn, the colour made it look so much better! It gave it more emotion. Are they caged up?

Not exactly, she was liberated from a lab but had to abandon her twin sister. This is where she temporarily went into hiding. She wants to go back to save her sister but her benefactor wont let her because it's dangerous.

This is interesting, did you make the whole story yourself? How long is it?

I remember making my own. I mapped out a whole world and did tons of lore/timelines. Never ended up finishing or even using it because Covid made me stop DnD >_>

Yeah, it's actually a webcomic idea I'm test piloting as a D&D campaign. Right now its pretty heavily fleshed out. I had a basic outline at the beginning and created more characters as I went along.

The blue-haired elf, Emmi, was my 2nd character I created for the campaign. Below is her twin sister, An'na. She started out evil but the party was able to bring her to the good side more or less and she's been a staple NPC.

Here's my contribution for today:

That a Dragoon? O_O

Also took me a while to realize that apple (apple of discord?) with the wings is your water mark.

Yep, recently I decided she's gonna be a dragoon. My FFXIV character is based off of her.
