Could You Draw Link And The Love Of His Life, Food? Lol I Think It Would Be Cute

Continuing on the theme from yesterday:

This is what happens when I try to draw a horse with no references whatsoever. The result is… interesting… (╥﹏╥)

I normally will be looking at multiple photos of horses as well as a horse anatomy chart while sketching. This time, I decided to try going from memory. It’s better then it was a few months ago….

Request: Hare (Tales from Earthsea) in tears of sorrow

So, uh, I can explain…

I SUCK at drawing characters crying, so I’m hoping you’ll accept this really crappy character sketch of Hare instead!

(Btw I have not watched Earthsea yet but it’s on the list. I just know who Hare is because I watched Nausicaa and he looks a lot like Kurotowa.)

:+: Older horse sketch :+:

Here is an OC swap I did for @bloominghydrangeas25

I had lots of fun sketching these up! The OC is very pretty and I found her hair my favourite part to draw.

1. Navi as a human/korkiri?

Well, I had an ask similar to this but it appears I have accidentally deleted it?? My apologies to whoever it was who sent it. I believe it was something along the lines of Navi as a human or fairy? I’m not much of a fairy drawer, but I was able to sketch this up. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

:+: Navi as a Kokiri or a Hylian :+:

Hi, I saw your post on the Zelda community! What about a short little comic about a Picori clothing store, and Vaati trying on outfits? I'm picturing cute little outfits based on different types of flowers or leaves! Not sure if you can make a comic out of it, but maybe it could at least inspire a single drawing?

Well…. I tried.

After much carful procrastination contemplation, I decided on sketching up this short, silent comic (because I’m too lazy to write up dialogue).

I know there isn’t much here in regard to outfits based on flowers and leaves (mostly because I love the town/village picori outfits better) but, it was definitely a fun little project to work on!

On top of that, I also really wanted to sketch up some other outfits for Vaati to try on in general.

Hope you like them! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

(Might wanna click on them for better visibility. Tumblr likes to take my photos and put them through a washing machine when I post them :D )

:+: Finally finished :+:

Took me a few days because I wanted to figure out how to scan it instead of taking a photo. Looks a little washed out, but it will do.

Thanks for all the character suggestions!

Ordon Link from my favourite Zelda game, Twilight Princess.

Just a simple sketch with a mechanical pencil.

I have been asked to make a small tutorial on how I draw horses. I taught myself slowly using what I thought was what you were supposed to do, so if it seems ‘unconventional’, that’s probably why.

First step:

I begin by looking at my page or reference (if I am using one). If I am not using a strict reference, I like to imagine what the horse on the paper is going to be doing. Once I have envisioned what I would like to draw, I begin with the three circles concept.

I don’t fully remember where I heard of this, but it has stuck with me for a long time. Basically, I am drawing three circles to represent the body of the horse. The first circle is the shoulder and chest of the horse. The middle one is the belly/back of it connecting the back and front end together. And the last circle is basically the buttocks of the horse, the thighs, if you will.

After drawing said circles, I move on to the legs, neck and head. It’s hard for me to stay on one step, because I tend to jump around.

It is important to note that having a horse anatomy chart on hand is extremely useful! Especially if it is one showing the muscles. Circle 1 in this photo shows the area of the front leg which I believe is called the elbow joint. I draw a sort of upside down v to represent this joint (or whatever it’s called).

Circle 2 shows where I have drawn a line to better define the muscle and the bone that connects the head and shoulders.

Circle 3 shows the line I drew to define the muscle on the butt/thigh.

If you examine a horse, you will notice that they have many “lines” which define the different muscles/bones. Once you single these lines out, it will be easier to draw the horse because you are not focusing on all the tiny lines and details. The way I view a horse I want to draw, is by looking at it simpler. I only put to paper the basic lines and shapes I see, then add any details I think would make it look better.

Horse legs are very tricky. I believe the legs can either make or break the sketch. If they are out of proportion, it doesn’t matter how well the body is drawn, it still looks like trash.

In order to avoid out of proportion legs, I like to gage the distance between the ground and the horses hooves.

I estimate the length I want it to be, rough sketch the hooves, then “cut” the leg in half by inserting the joint. It should be roughly in the middle. When I look at a horses leg, I see an almost funnelled shape. It starts out wide at the top and thins out until it gets to the hoof.

The back legs are kind of tricky to draw. Actually, they’re very tricky.

I am unable to add a video tutorial here, so I will be posting in parts.

Finished!!!

I cannot believe how LONG making a SINGAL PAGE is! Mad respect for manga/comic artists.

Anyway, page 1 & 2 of a random lil comic I’m working on as a sequel to the Zelda Twilight Princess manga. It ain’t much, but it’s a start.

ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ Hoping to do more pages soon.
