Not really, it’s never actually occurred to me. My style’s anything but realistic. You? (I’m guessing so, since it seems you take the realistic path.)

@whalekeeper. You are soo welcome! 😀
Oh, I see now.
I really like that! Goodness if I could do shapes like those XD
If I’m doing something modeled after a specific thing (like a movie character or animal) then yea, I prefer reference images. But for something in my head, I don’t usually. So I’m not at all sure how I’d draw my human oc’s XD
@whalekeeper your grandpa’s cabin sounds so cool!! I’ve always wanted a hunting cabin full of taxidermy 😀 I would love an elk mount like that! I currently only have a little mule deer mount, but I didn’t hunt him. Also, I’m in love with your art style!! That girl is so adorable, she’s got so much personality! I love all the swirls and fun shapes.
@Anatra23 thank you! That screen is absolutely gorgeous, I love all the little blossoms ;)💮 Is there a specific kind of paint you use for that? It’s very beautiful, I especially like the hummingbirds.Monsters creep

In the shriveled hand-keepOkay I just redrew a 3-year-old abomination and I’m quite happy with it 😀
Here’s the original… 🤨

And a lil Bronwen chibi! This is her formal autumn outfit, but my annoying webcam cropped it weird -_-

In the shriveled hand-keep@ava-blue I love how distinct your style is 😀 Like, I can easily tell if a drawing is yours or not. Plus some of your characters have almost long faces, which is really cool, because most artists go with a rounder style – but then again, I bet you do both. Good job 😉

Woahhhh your deer is so pretty! I love the creative flare with the flowers! How long have you been using watercolors? It was my favorite medium for awhile (I should really get back into it lol)

I do that too! Often time my first drawing of a new character is a chibi… simply because chibis have no face structure XD. So I get a chance to decide the aesthetic without finding a proper face shape.
Here’s the first finished drawing I did of my OC. He looks like a child because of the way I drew him lol.. he’s like 16.

I mean…my art isn’t horrible…but y’all…HOW!?!?!?!? XDXDXD
@freedomwriter76
Thanks so much!😆💛💛
Honestly the thing that helped me the most is drawing from other peoples art I like… lol sounds weird IK. I mean like graphic novels. If you can find a book series that has something you like (the author draws great noses for instance) Then you can use the art in the book as reference (make fanart, or use it as a reference for a part of your character) Just seeing how other people stylize realistic ideas (like proportions or musculature) really helped me a lot.
