Sigh... I'm Afraid My Doodles Don't Make Sense Once Again

omg its my artfight pfp ❤

this gif is actually crashing my computer not even funny

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

Noel by @astrunaria

art trades are still open btw please someone do an art trade with me I wanna spend literally the entire day drawing that's what I want in life

i worked on this for way too long (5 hours 💀) I really wanted to do some nice rendering idk why it's just satisfying

couldnt make out some things like the colours and small details cuz your image was a bit messy/dimly lit but I hope that's ok

i def made the colours more saturated than they really are but that's mostly a conscious choice because I love bright colours

sooo glad i've been focusing on posing and anatomy for the past half a year I'm no longer intimidated by anything more than a bust and in fact I often try to include more of the body

i'm gonna be so prepped for artfight i'm ready to get at least a thousand points

no background because... uh i hate backgrounds so much I only have animals and backgrounds left to sorta master I hate that at least in the past I could practice drawing faces or hands or something but I've basically gotten that all down

crazy that just a couple months ago I couldn't render hair at all

pattern was a pain but thats my fault because I REFUSE to just copy and paste cuz then it looks weird and doesn't really cling to the fabric

puma guy reference for my artfight i gotta draw more of these but they're kinda a pain but they help me figure out stuff about the character!! lock in their proportions and stuff so I draw them consistently and know what I'm doing

i hate drawing symmetry i mean im not aiming for it to be perfectly symmetrical cuz that's creepy af and unnatural and some elements of his design are purposefully asymmetrical (barely noticeable but his eyebrows for example I hate how I put small details no one will ever even see or think about)

but this took so long to correct i was constantly flipping my canvas… now I'm thinking about how I'll have to do like 9 more of these and probably have to redo them by july cuz I'll have improved and will hate my old art

crossing my fingers that i can just do small edits or liquify by the time artfight happens I don't wanna have to redo everything

my most masculine OC has unicorn toothpaste hair

lowkey cooked when i made his design I love purple he's literally just a flipped version of jayden though

i been so stupid, complaining about tumblr's horrible compression, but it turns out... it was cuz I was accidentally exporting all my drawings as jpeg 😭

obligatory repost of this image i cant believe the very first appearance of him and his OG design is a badly sewn cat plushy

rn i have THREE mangoes!!!!!!!!!!

now i have two mangoes....

sad update: no mangoes

Joel, character by Meowica_ on Reddit

finally a DUDE lmaoo ive only been drawing girls or non-guys

erm we dont talk about the japanese characters the person who made the OC doesnt even know (still love their art tho give them a follow), and i did ask 😭 hopefully it doesnt say something embarrassing, i only know chinese, not japanese

<3 high contrast and COLOURS

sacrificing my dignity cuz i had to draw a catboy (its a fox i know but still)

OCs i made when I was 10 (we're moving up from age 9!)

crazy to see how much things changed in terms of character design in just one year, they became so much more complex

colour wise, i was still an amateur lol, I had to change the colours slightly for some of these characters to make them look more unified cuz I was still just putting every single colour in all my designs

patterns went even crazier this is the SIMPLIFIED version of the designs so imagine what the originals looked like

def was my armour era boy everyone had armour i rarely made "normal" OCs

space era is exciting ngl i love drawing aliens and getting loose with it, I don't have to constrain myself as much I can just do whatever I want

its so funny cuz you can tell that I LOVED colour like the bad guys are literally the ones who are all grey and monotone (those two guys are good now tho)

the 3 ppl in the image that includes the red alien (and the blue alien) are the main OCs of a comic I made in 4th grade the plot is INSANE like actually ridiculous its so crazy it almost becomes satire

im crying why is my old art so bad this is from when I was 11 when I was just starting digital art on chrome canvas lmaooo

amethyst looking rough here

my steven universe obsession was crazy i mean I lived breathed slept steven universe i have very few OCs from this time period cuz literally all my art and MULTIPLE SKETCHBOOKS were just filled with steven universe

THE FEEEEET

btw i used to draw ALL my feet like that... potatoes

posting this cuz i recently found a goldmine of old art from my old account I managed to save it even tho the account got deleted by the school after I left elementary

can you tell i REALLY couldnt draw hands or no

still working on redrawing all my OCs but its taking longer cuz I have so many freaking paragraphs to write I hate essays

gonna just see a jump from 10 years old to like 12 years old lol again cuz of my insane steven universe obsession

i still absolutely LOVE su it has a special place in my heart but I'm not this crazy anymore although it def has influenced some of my character designs and stories ngl

me when i see a like-minded artist who uses an insane amount of colours:

lowkey i follow artists based on just one post, so... don't judge me by who I follow I just think art is pretty

added a small thing...

this was my first design of puma guy (technically second, one day I will share the handmade cat plushy OG version) erm... it's not very good lol, also from an artistic perspective... ngl find it crazy that this was less than a year and a half ago I improved like crazy!! also I couldn't draw buff people we don't talk about it I distinctly remembering him looking less weedy when I actually drew him idk

the space pattern sucks ew i've really stepped my game up on that too, face is also janky I was still slightly in my anime phase

messy lineart works but like... this is just messy and not in a cool way

its so washed out my art is so saturated now compared to this, this looks like a watercolour version where's all the pink my boy is PINK

shading is ehh i remember loving the skin and pants but it looks pretty flat and the blue... i didn't know what I was doing with that

i HATE the mouth idk it makes me uncomfortable

man it's so crazy to look at my old designs BEFORE I came up with distinct hairstyles for them

he looks like such a generic anime boy it's kinda funny

the basic things that changed is that he looks older, has curlier hair and looks a bit sleepier but I actually do tend to stick very closely with my original designs (even though I've created some of them when I was really young)

blend brush is MAKING ME GO CRAZY

what do you mean rendering is ten times easier and I can finally render without it looking weirdly smooth and untextured??
