:+: Finally Finished :+:

I tried sketching Prince Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. I did a much better job with the head studies (the only thing I can do well other then horses.)

Yakul looks more like a horse tbh. The back legs look good, but those front ones… ick…

Anyway, I had fun with these. It was a little hard to try replicating the Ghibli style, but it was a good exercise. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

:+: Happy 32nd of March, everyone! :+:

These pieces took me hours to draw. I am very proud if them. I hope that you all can enjoy them.

(This is a joke, fyi. I’m not really that stupid. Maybe a little… it’s actually April fools.)

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.)

:+: Request a character :+:

Hello everyone! I am doing a Request a Character thing to give myself a bit of a challenge. My ask box is always open to requests, but I wanted to invite anyone who sees this to feel free to request a specific character from any of the following fandoms I’m in.

-Bungo Stray Dogs

-Hetalia

-Fullmetal Alchemist

-Zelda

-Studio Ghibli

:+: Request guidelines :+:

-Absolutely no nsfw asks.

-I do NOT draw ships. (Not even zelink!!)

-Depending on how many asks I receive, I may not get to yours in a very timely manner. I haven’t forgotten you! If your ask is a bit much for me, I will straight up tell you so you aren’t wondering wether I got it or not. (I am still very limited in what I can do, so please keep that in mind.)

Thank you!

(It’s kind of a short list, but that’s because I study names from different countries and these are the only categories I know lol)

(THIS JUST IN:

I don’t think it’s called reverse dapples, guys… 👉👈 ))

ALRIGHT, here are two results of the different polls I posted. And guess what. I decided, the heck with the poll about coats, and went with this.

I give you, Akutagawa as a knight riding a horse!

(Btw thanks @insufferablewhore )

5. “We’re gonna have to kill this guy” meme with Navi and Link

Well, I tried….

I think I got the wording wrong? I kinda wish I knew more funny memes to draw with my favourite characters that haven’t been used too much.

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

2. All your favorite Zeldas

I actually have very few favourite Zeldas…

Of course, Zelda from Twilight Princess (my favourite game)

And Zelda from Minish Cap.

I do actually like Zelda from SS, but I find her difficult to draw and she isn’t my favourite. Minish Cap Zelda is one of my favourites to draw, actually. ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

Tried sketching Shad in my art style from the Zelda Twilight Princess manga.

He’s honestly my favourite character. Such an adorable goof!

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.
