Ah, I should have mentioned the skin. She’s got light skin, probably on the paler side to contrast the freckles. 😛 And you are fine to mess around with the shirt and shoes!

@rae

It’s funny… your shadowed eyes remind me of me. 😆 How many kitties do you have right now?

I already posted this on the other art topic, but the purpose of this is to improve. So, here it is again. 😅

This is probably just a matter of practice, but my lines aren’t very deliberate. Sometimes I go harder with the brush in places, and it’s just a matter of random impulse. In ‘educated’ art, it looks purposeful, but this doesn’t feel as p…[Read more]

@rae

Is that a partial face reveal I see? 🫢

@ellette-giselle

WOW!! Those are awesome!

Thx! 😊 I’m trying to get comfortable with the line of action and forming the mass of the figure around it. It should make my art easier to look at. That’s what they say… Must… get better… *Eye twitches*

@ellette @keilah-h @rae

I guess Pinterest is the place to go, then. XD

@grcr

Yayyyy!! If you have trouble with her, take as long as you like, you’re the artist! <3

Aah I’ve never done this before, that I can remember. But I have a character! I love your art style and this sounds so fun! 🙃
Name: Izzy. But that might change.
Age: 15
Personality: Izzy is the definition of chill. She has a bit of a romantic dynamic with the main character, and she’s generally viewed as the quiet cool kid. She can be distant…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Ooohhh, that’s convenient. XD Thank you!

I woke up sick so I might not make it

@keilah-h

I don’t know what they’re talking about but it seems to be serious.

😂

Where does everyone get their photo references for practice? I used Pinterest for the art on the last page, but I’m wondering if there’s a better source…?

Pinterest has lots of stuff, I’m just curious. XD

@keilah-h

I like the expressions! Looks like you use Procreate too, lol.

@keilah-h

I know a pair of twins who say they have it, but they’re probably joking. XD I and my younger sister sometimes have telepathy moments too, so I think it’s more of a close sibling thing.

I started gesture drawing while listening to videos on the French Revolution. And I just kept adding more. So here’s a good day’s work! (I used photo references because I want to learn how to draw quicker.) (And of course, can’t go without a little character pose on the side to keep me company.)

@highscribeofaetherium

Sounds good to me! I probably won’t have a lot to offer because my art is few and far between, but it’s a cool idea.

Pro-tip for movie watchers: Stop-motions tend to be higher art quality than normal 3D. I should make a list of my favorites and post it in the movie topic!

@ellette-giselle

I looked it up and it seems like it might be…. claymation? Something like that.

Yep! It’s stop-motion with lots of different materials. Stop-motions can be less expensive for the filmmakers, but they have to work a lot more.

@ellette-giselle

When I say it’s a good horror story, I mean that. There are a lot of thought-provoking horrors out there, usually to represent things gone too far, like dystopias. I think most good horrors are functionally dystopias.

Coraline is about home, courage, and the horrors of wishful thinking. It takes a ‘what if’ and digs into exactly…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

The Village wasn’t that bad, to be honest. It was disturbing, but in more of a thought-provoking way because of the plot.
