Art Practise Lol

based on a recent art trade i got

reading comprehension non-existent tbh

i keep my character descriptions short (literally one sentence) cuz I know no one is reading all that but like... why do ppl draw him smiling when my one sentence description is literally "he doesn't smile"

art trade number 1 done! so far the only request I've gotten, my OC art trades are still open btw https://www.tumblr.com/lrgoescrazy/778052438698704896/anyone-wanna-do-oc-art-trades-i-got-some-time?source=share

Basil by @afflesauce

went a little harder than i usually do idk I was just feeling like it, I love colours and sky

wasnt sure how to mash together all those outfit ideas but I hope it looks ok I'm no fashion expert

i lied that it might take some time, "slow" to me is like a day I just draw really fast 😭 also lowkey trying to get in the mood for artfight (I've been saying this for months even though it's not at all close to july I just wanna keep my skills sharp so I can aim for two attacks a day)

how we feeling about my old art 😭

this was 5 years ago crazy to think how much I've improved!!

sometimes (most of the time) i look at my old art and just think... why?? why that neck? why the legs?? why that chin? why that hair?

the classic "i dont wanna draw hands" pose

the eyes are staring at me

the lineart is a bit... rough in places

man i drew WAY too hard wtf i can see all the erased lines why did I press my pencil so hard

dont be discouraged if your art looks like this currently, you will get to where you wanna be, I know I sure did, and a few years is actually quite short to make such a large improvement

OC by @xxcannot-do-mathxx (not sure the name)

erm i had a LOT of fun haha i kind of went over the top, I wanted to emphasise the expression and scariness lol

i'm really proud of the shading and colouring I think it looks great

I spent 4 hours on just this simple bust that's way too long but I think it was worth it I really like how fun this is

found a bunch more OCs i made when I was 9 these are obv more fleshed out more detailed but still you can see the colours and patterns go crazy

slightly learned to blend markers so thats why there's so many gradients/stripes, finally at this point realised I can have an area that isn't one colour or just a pattern

some of these have... interesting fashion

i have ZERO clue whats going on with 4 arms lady actually crazy design I was just slapping all my gel pen colours on there

dog girl is cute tho

had to research sm for pronghorn cheetah girl I was such a nerd (still am tbh) I watched wild kratts and instantly became obsessed with pronghorns I wrote they were my favourite animal and everything

still cant draw animals but i tried

style study (not my usual art style) ~2 hours

art trades anyone?? i really want to draw something new (and get some nice art too) ill finish in 1-2 days, im really fast

ART TRADES STILL OPEN istg pleaseee someone draw with me I have free time all this week and I just wanna draw man

Eugene, character by ischial on Reddit

lowkey reminds me of that one hard pic of a cgi caterpillar smoking

can you tell i love rendering like genuinely my favourite part of drawing is rendering it's so fun that's why I kinda over render everything I just can't help it

rocks!!!

found a SUPER COOL rock today its green and red and striped and has some quartz crystals and white stripes i love rocks soooo much

also i have cinnamon bread its so yummy

LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I LOVE BEING ALIVE

me rn

who leaves that much money on the ground??? i'd never drop even a dime man

when ppl ask me where i get my income... the ground is my employer I'm jobless allowance-less always have been, lowkey leeching off my family but I have to finish my education first its not my fault

art trades open btw!!!! someone draw with meeee

art trades still open!!

not sure the name, character by @lovdecay

kinda reminds me of pinky pie

just realised i really like putting orange on everything i orange-ified this OC
