YOUR BOY NOVEMBER IS DONEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, first of all, I have to say how much I liked drawing him. I had a clear picture of him in my head from the start and was able to draw him in one try (whereas the other ones I’ve been doing have taken me 5-6-7 tries to get right XD). Secondly, I really love the character type that November is. That type is just like the most shy, cutest, adorable-est (that is a word now) li’l nugget EVER.
*aHEM*
Anyways, I’ll stop fangirling over November and upload the drawing now.
If you want me to change anything about your boy <3 *giggles in corner* let me know!!!!
AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP ATTACHMENT TO FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. i’m living proof

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 5, 2021 at 11:47 am #91561@scripter-of-kingdoms, what medium do you use for your art? (Also did you draw a pic of yourself fo your propic?)

ekseaver.wordpress.comFebruary 5, 2021 at 12:00 pm #91563@scripter-of-kingdoms AWWW!! That is adorable!!
Now, he doesn’t really look like how I imagine him (but that’s okay, because that’s sometimes the point in books! Ppl have different imaginations!)
So, when the time comes for u to do the headings I can tell u a bit of changes but ur drawing is ADORABLE AND AWESOME so plz don’t feel bad at all! Just trying to be honest 😊

#ProtectSebFebruary 5, 2021 at 12:02 pm #91564The shirt and eyes are WONDERFUL!!! (Honestly it’s mainly the hair lol!)
hey, I know, I have a pic I found off Pinterest and used it in a bookmark I made. So in the forum chat called aesthetics or whatever, there should be a bookmark I made with a pic of how I sorta imagine him.

#ProtectSebFebruary 5, 2021 at 12:04 pm #91565@scripter-of-kingdoms Off the art topic- I AM SO GLAD U LOVE HIM!!! I do too!! Ugh!!!
he’s like this funny and sweet guy! I think he’s probably a bit of an extrovert, and he can be soooo awkward at times lol! I adore him! And how he loves my main protagonist Ara (his best friend)
sigh….he’s just too awesome.
I have another guy character I introduce in book 2, who i also LOVE (but for different reasons)

#ProtectSebFebruary 5, 2021 at 1:15 pm #91570@e-k-seaver I use Copic markers! They’re arguably the best marker out there, lol. Nope, my propic is one of my MC’s, Marge. 🙂
@godlyfantasy12 Oh, ok, lol. I *kind of* based him off of one of my own guy characters for the hair, haha. I really liked shading it for some reason. XD Ok, when I start the headings please do tell me what you think he should look like! Sorry I didn’t nail that XD.Honestly, his shirt, I was contemplating with the colour palette whether or not he looked like Thanksgiving dinner XDDDDD.
ugh yes. He’s just so sweet, I can already tell.
I have a guy character named Ripley, he’s a full on ginger lad and country boy, so he has this AMAZING southern accent (sounds like a Kentucky accent lollll) and I can pretty much hear it when I type any of his dialogue rofl. <3

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 5, 2021 at 1:25 pm #91571Thank you!!! I loved drawing her, although it took several drafts! XD
Yes! I’ll give you a few tips. I’m so happy to hear you want to start the drawing journey!!!
1. Practice. Drawing is as much a hobby as anything else, the only way you will get good at it is by devoting time and effort to it! I’ve been drawing for five years, but only recently started drawing more often, and my skills SKYROCKETED. So I’d advise doing monthly challenges where you have to draw every day of the month, such as Inktober, Mermay, etc.
2. Focus on a specific. If you want to learn how to draw people, then draw people as much as you can until you are confident in your skills and style. Focus on just people, nothing else.
3. On your art style – it will not come to you overnight. I’ve had so many drawing styles in the past, I can’t even count them all. Eventually you will find something you like, and then you can develop it further.
4. Study other artwork. If you look at the work of other artists, it will help you immensely. The only downside to this is that you can get caught in comparison. Instead of comparing, think about how the artist may have achieved that and see if you can try it out for yourself to get similar effects. I’d recommend looking at artists (if you want to learn how to draw people) Asia Ladowska, Ross Tran, Cyarin, Loish, Warren Louw, and Akira Himekawa (look at her art if you are interested in manga drawing).
Hope this helped!! <3

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 5, 2021 at 1:27 pm #91572Okay, Nina’s done! Sorry for the wait there. I hope you like it! If you don’t, let me know and I can change anything you don’t like.
I gave her kind of a grungy bomber jacket, and thought she might wear long cargo pants too (but didn’t picture them) and scruffy short boots.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Girl, November and Nina look AMAZING! I would LOVE it if you could do more artwork for me, but I know you’ve got your hands full!
I’ve been wanting to draw for so long. I may have to steal your tips to Lexi!
@e-k-seaver Girl, Keenum looks great! And you drew him in only 30 mins? Dang!!February 5, 2021 at 1:45 pm #91575@scripter-of-kingdoms Don’t worry about it! Here’s that pic I was talking about. So this is sorta how I imagine him except with tighter curls (if that makes sense lol)

#ProtectSebFebruary 5, 2021 at 1:48 pm #91576Kinda like these curls

#ProtectSebFebruary 5, 2021 at 6:06 pm #91596Oh, this was amazingly helpful!!! Thanks x 1,000!!! I will DEFINITELY try to keep practicing, and hopefully I’ll someday get as good as you are!! Practice is something that’s a little hard for me (because I can be… *cough* *cough* impatient *cough* *cough*, but I’ll totally try motivating myself.
And yeah, people is what I would be most comfortable drawing (especially my fictional friends). Art style is something I’m excited to find (does that sound weird)? I think it’s fascinating that everybody has their own style of drawing, so I’d like to know what mine looks like. I’ll also try studying artwork, too! (And try not to compare everything *ugh*)
(Thanks for recommending that list of artists to check out, btw!) This was very HELPFUL! Thank you again for the detailed reply!! (I’m still so thrilled about Caira’s drawing, I may have to hire you for another job soon XD)
February 5, 2021 at 6:34 pm #91602@scripter-of-kingdoms, that is absolutely amazing. It looks just like Nina. I love your art style.

ekseaver.wordpress.comFebruary 5, 2021 at 6:35 pm #91603@scripter-of-kingdoms, also, if you have time and no one else is in line, I have other characters I could use being drawn. 🙂
