Quite nights at home. I designed a back porch for mayor McDaniels house.
This post is from my website (currently under construction), and references another post up there. Just don't worry bout it :P It's pretty long, but it talks about my art struggles and breaks down this mess here so I'm putting it under this Read More!
I can't believe I'm slipping up already! This post was supposed to come yesterday, my bad :( I ended up drawing basic shapes over a model (courtesy of CroquisCafe's Instagram page) because I saw this video by Jazza and, to be quite honest, I want to streamline this process as much as possible. Right now my Big Goal is to be able to draw people, and I'm trying to adopt an Ethan Becker sort of mindset about it. Life drawing is important and builds important skills, but it's not what I want to do right now!!!
I'm really disappointed that I only managed to do one. Focus is another thing I'm working on lol, but one is better than none. Even doing one a day is progress, though I definitely want to grow faster than that. It is a little bit humiliating to put my practice, my horrible little baby crayon drawings, out there like this but I don't think I can move forward without...feedback? Pressure? I'm not quite sure, but I've been swimming in circles in my little fishbowl here and I'm SO over it.
I tried to make a basic skeleton first, something I could see direction and form in without the photo underneath. I couldn't figure out what to do with the torso though, even after testing a few different methods from professional character designers. I can't see anything distinct, which probably means I need to train my eyes a bit more. Or I could just be making this unnecessarily complicated!
The next layer is...I don't even know. I lost the plot. I'm just trying to break things down in a way I can understand, but I don't even know what I'm looking at sometimes! It feels like I've completely forgotten how to draw, which I guess is the Dunning-Kreuger effect in action but I'm not even very experienced! Which means I still have so much further to fall!!! D:
This feels like it should be something, but it's just not, yanno? I'm just a little bit frustrated that it's not immediately clicking, because I have to do everything perfectly on the first try or else what's the point? /s I'M STILL OPTIMISTIC THOUGH!!! I just need to stick to my guns and keep at it, that's all! Keep listening to Adam Duff, keep up with my art schedule, maybe actually finish a class for once. Keep it chuggin', and all that!
[[ Caption: This was supposed to be a juggler, at first. Then I made it. It's not really a juggler. I like it anyway. ]]
[[ Image description: A mass of shiny black metallic material in a form that used to be vaguely humanoid. Its form extends out from its head and torso. Only a little bit of the glowing light grey void is visible behind it. Its face simply has two big silver eyes on it, its head being barely distinguishable from the rest of its body. If it has arms at all, they've blender into the rest of its body too. From left to right, forming an arc starting and ending at the figure's hands, are seven versions of the moon. The first is unlit, its surface visible but mostly dull. The second has a crescent glowing with such bright white light that its features aren't very visible, with the exception of some spots from the craters. The third has a slightly bigger glowing crescent. The fourth one, at the peak of the arc, is half-glowing. The fifth is a gibbous. The sixth is a bigger gibbous, leaving only a bit of the surface dull and actually visible. The seventh is simply a slightly glowing spotted ball. Also, at some places, the surface of the figure's body reflects the light of the moons. End image description. ]]

Just watched Raya and the Last Dragon...the animation is phenomenal and the character design is really cool too.
Looking to go on another follow spree to diversify my dash (we love being mutuals until you see the same post five times,hehehe!) Writeblrs + artblrs!
Some of my favorite genres and vibes:
Mystical - inspired by spiritualism of any culture, fantasy-esque but not in the typical sense
Fantasy - realistic, otherworldly, multi-planar, soft magic or hard magic systems alive
Sci-fi - xenoanthropology, what it means to be human or alive, adventures and explorations
Romance - subversive, complex, fluffy, angsty, lgbtq+, specifically ace spec, gender non-conforming, bisexual
Drama and thriller - mafia, historical fiction, crime, gang of misfits, psychological thriller
Art - semi-realistic, highly stylized, colorful, soft, OCs and self-indulgent art, prints and illustrations, animation, webcomics, graphic novels
If we are already mutuals/I follow you already, please reblog to boost!
