Playing around with sketching people, it's my first love. Trying to push myself to complete a character. I get stuck on wanting likeness versus a simplified style. I want to see the planes of the face, not satisfied with just a hint of a face. I can see my growth, which is encouraging, I can also see where I need to improve. My strength is in traditional drawing , I find comfort in it. Digital, however, feels empty, and im unsure how to get away from that feeling. If anyone reads this and has suggestions, I will be forever grateful. #butitriedtho

A work in Progress! I am learning so much... Especially about muscles lol. I am definitely using a million and one references, pure-ref is coming in clutch.

The setting is a sprawling and ornate hotel with steam powered elevators and clockwork bellhops in a world where people live in VR and dress like they are from the 1890's; a strained couple is on a mission searching for the husbands sister. They don't see eye to eye and this scene has now taken over my drawing session lol.

I plan on expanding on this theme with a series of illustrations, I got the idea from the Pinterest Drawing challenge on youtube. This character is one of five or so that I rolled for, his name is Tsuyoshi (atm), he is one of two antagonists. The character he is holding is his wife Mina, she is helping his sister escape; this man has quite the temper and Mina doesn't mince words. I started drawing them traditionally just to get a feel for who and what I am going for and now I am on a mission to bring them to life. The struggle is rl. #butitriedtho

Digital & Traditional Sketches

I have been doodling on Reddit forum titled Redditgetsdrawnbadly . It's been fun yet tiring, lol. I like that im flexing my artistic muscles. No pressure, just fun. I do think I need to push myself more, maybe play around with making comic pages out of the drawings. That way I really know that I can do the comic I have in mind. These drawings have been detailed way more then I initially intended lol.

First Doodles | 6.1.25

My 2nd set of Redditgetsdrawnbadly doodles <3

I did only a few today, I miss drawing people, ill have to take a break and doodle my Oc's. | 6.2.25

A sketch of a potential MC, I love their nose, which is difficult to replicate from a front view. Still in the study stage trying to flesh them out. I have in my mind how I want them to look but ill probably have to play around to get exactly what I want. Their hair definitely throws me off lol I cant decide on the style but I am in love with them so its safe to say they arent going anywhere. 💪🏿

In my fae world they are a dancer. They dance as the main burlesque act at a hotel set in the late 1800's. They play the role of protector for my main MC , definitely a support character before the ish hits the fan. Mimosa "Mimsy" Plume. <3

A sketch of a Demon and her baby . A woman who adores and protects what's hers. Just something quick from a video on YouTube. I will finish it eventually but I wanted to sketch the baby more than anything. I may need to retry but for now he is very cute.

Updated my character design logo.... Before vs after. I Just played around. Still don't understand color but layers and layer filters are amazing. I'll probably keep updating and changing it but I'm in love. I still like both lol, the colors on the first catch my eye but on two things are more cohesive idk.

Struggling with this one, I was so proud of it, mostly the idea. It was meant to be a drawing for a little competition. Now I'm over it. I might have hit a bit of a wall. I just wanted to draw a knight and a demon simping over a beautiful woman....and then it became complicated. I might restart. Ive been thinking of a different composition. Maybe something in this image isn't working and that's changed my pov. It's frustrating. The theme was elegant but I think it's diverted into something else.

A study, I'm participating in a little challenge to hold myself accountable for 30days. This is day 01 of 30. This is my control for the 30 days, no tutorial just winging it based on prior knowledge of greyscale since I don't know how to color, experimenting with layers definitely helped me lol. Greyscale is like cheating lol and I am in love. Hopefully I won't have to do a lot of jumping through hoops. I'll definitely need to study rendering because I need texture in my life if I'm going to survive.

Practicing <3 idk what I'm doing but yes I am getting a bit of a better grasp of where the shadows fall. I know I'm missing more red for depth. I also need to experiment with brushes for a cleaner look.
