I Want To Draw ...

I've been trying to figure out which of my OCs to draw. I was thinking it was a funny idea to make the silhouettes of the characters to see if they were distinct enough from each other.

Since I wanted to make character sheets for all of them, who am I supposed to start with? Or rather, who do you want to know more about?

Wonder if this poll will get even a single vote 😅

Just drew this dude. I think studying the mha artstyle really improved my artstyle. I love him ❤️ and it didn't really take that long to draw that.

Also, take some sketches I did beforehand:

I don't know his name yet, but I think his quirk would be something with superspeed. (Might call it slowmotion or reverse slowmotion, depends on how I'll make it work.)

I really like the idea that he has always a pair of sunglasses with him, to avoid dust getring into his eyes while in superspeed. And also to be the coolest kid around 😎

Also his quirk shows in his personality. He's mostly impatient since everything is going too slow for him.

His hero idol is Hawks. He definetly aims to become quicker than him to claim the title as fastest hero.

I wanted to talk more about the coloring. I layered the colors in this way:

Base color - red

Shadows - dark red

Base color again (even over the shadows) - red

Shadows again - dark red

Alternate base color over everything - pinkish red

Darken shadows - black

I use the black to mute the color a little.

And now I am applying moderate pressure to get a more vibrant red. When coloring I also like to start with the most vibrant color to be able to match the other less vibrant colors to the apperance.

But in the end the order which part I color first doesn't matter that much.

Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.

Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume

Can't wait to line and color it 😀

I had the idea for this picture about a week ago and I finally found some time to get to a point where I can call it complete (I know I have been lazy on the background, but I like it that way 😃)

I really enjoyed working with different techniques and even some I've just touched rarely. Moreover, I am really proud of my shading technique, the lighting and the blur 🤩

Hope you like it 😃

Why does it always happen that I get carried away at some point while doodeling? Here, have a happy Izuku.

I should also try again working on my own artstlye again and just stop drawing screencaps from mha.

Ehh, whatever. Too much fun to stop 😝

Some warm-up and trying to figure out how to draw Error. So, I made this little reference sheet for myself 😊 (there's also more stuff on it, but this is the most important part 😂)

I was also thinking: Okay, I need to think about when he reacts in a certain way to draw him. I could technically go and combine some emotions in a scene and make a little comic out of it. With that I would be able to train expressions AND train drawing comics 😁

(if you couldn't tell already, I like to set myself overambitious goals 😅)

AND what will be the most difficult, as I realize right now, I always tend to forget the glitches 😥 Need to keep that in mind...

added it 😁 and this is a typical case of: I'll just do a quick sketch... whops, my hand slipped 😂

I want to draw ...

but I don't know who. I need to train expressions and wanted to do the "25 Essential Expressions" challenge but I don't know who to draw. So I thought: Hey, this could be a cool idea to let somebody else decide!

Sooo, that's what I'll try:

Can anyone tell me how to draw lightning and tunder?

I'm struggling to draw energy lightning circling around a specific spot.

How does lightning work? It's just rigid lines but it's also not.

Edit:

figured out how to do it digitally. But how the hell are you supposed to do that with traditional mediums like acrylics or markers?

And yes, I made a short sketch to figure this out. But digitally it's quite easy. Just draw some white squiggly lines along a shape, erase some parts, repeat that process until you're satisfied and then add colored glow beneath.

You know, I have lately finished my first playthrough through Undertale Yellow... I cried. And since then, I had this idea for a cool drawing in my head but I got sidetracked.

Here, have a Starlo:

Just be careful that he doesn't shoot you 🙂

currently doodling a lot. I have trouble drawing my own OCs the way I want, so I distract myself by setting a city on fire 😊
