Oof I've been busy (with fever) for the past few days. Trying to slowly get back into things and apparently 2 days of not drawing at all....kinda sucks? Anyhow, here are some quick sketches of the usual gang ha ha. Also I since I draw them a lot, I decided to make a specific tag for them HAHA

I did the sketch in Photoshop and transferred to Procreate. I kinda had a hard time deciding colors on this one. The timelapse didn’t do the time I spent adjusting the colors justice haha.

I started a new WIP to add to the log of WIPs here haha as I seemed to have spontaneously created a character concept I liked. But I'm hoping I can see this through! When I do illustrated pieces with backgrounds, my comfort is to go with lineless as I can just "cheat" out forms with the lasso tool and textured brushes.
NOT THI...

Some sketches from the past days/weeks! I've been kept busy designing characters lately and it's been a bit exhausting to just think and draw so I just warm-up with some random stuff.
I noticed I tend to draw angular forms lately so I wanted to see if I can loosen it up a bit.
That super smash bros sketch might be ...

Went through some old files and found the base animatic for this shot which I did not delete. It goes to show that you can get away with many things with a little bit of camera movement--making stuff look more dynamic, for exampl...

While I haven't been doing as much academic/structured learning as I've originally intended, I feel like there still has been some sort of improvement, nonetheless. I think that I've developed certain mindsets ...

Here's it composited! Did some subtle shadow gradients, line art blurs, camera movements, and some small animation to the visor and gem shines.
As usual, just the background is what remains and that'll be pretty much it! I decided to make a GIF because I don't think I can commit my PC to rendering much yet haha.

Some more warm-up/side sketches of these magic folks!! Just practicing how to translate detail into short hands as well as some style and proportion experiments.
I can't believe at this point I haven't started any tangible project involving them as I've really gotten the hang of drawing them. With that said though I...

Feeling that your drawings can look a little bit more fun? Do your character designs seem a little bit static or generic? Maybe they need a small push to their proportions!
This has been on the back burner for the longest time but I'm finally putting this out! Now that this is out of the way, I'm actually stumped on what other...

Got to put in some progress on this thing! I added the shadows, the egg eyes and the visor effect. Just need to color in her gem and it's gonna pretty much be ready for compositing (my fave part!!!!!!!!!)
I'll probably end up doing the background last ahahahahaha

Here's a cropped process of my piece for Gallery Nucleus & Viz Media's Naruto Tribute Exhibition. This is a bit of a milestone for me as I used to draw Naruto back in high school! I'm sure my 15-year old self would go nuts. I've always loved Team 8 so I'm drawing them being bad-ass!!

WOAH it's a bit down here, I'm very sorry about that! I've managed to work on some cool exciting stuff lately! Here are some sketches from last month that I haven't posted on here yet! They're a bunch of short hand sketches of my characters (again, haha). I also tried in experimenting with vector brushes on Adobe Illustrator and...

Here's a vid process of a drawing I posted of a new D&D character I'm itching to play. I did some preliminary sketches for this dude and just thought about the rendering in this one. I miss using the basic pencil brush on Procreate. It's so simple and it looks good too!
When I was doing some preliminary sketches, I a...

Got to sketch a lot during a session zero for a d&d group. I realized that I'm getting better at shorthanding forms and figures. I'm starting to vary my proportions as well when I'm doing construction first. It's good to see the slow progress!

For this year I've been mainly sticking with a unipin-like brush so it was somewhat refreshing to use my old brushes again. I am actually proud that i managed to draw the right most drawing without any guidelines--it's one of those rare moments haha

Here are some sketches with some I've drawn a while back. A bunch of these are just made in getting the feel of drawing on my ipad as well as just trying out (and failing) at different things.
A few years ago, I had this habit of just deleting the stuff I draw that I'm not proud of--kinda like crumpling the paper I sketched on...

Exploring and developing these guys some more. I also tried out new proportions and shapes for them after seeing the work of James Woods.
I actually did a comparison drawing of them way back when I initially drew them vs now. I'm kind of glad I solidified some shapes for them so that they'd be more consistent when I...

Managed to clean up and color Peridot now! Looking again, I need to fix some small stuff and I still have to do the clean up for the eyes and gem. Still seeing how this pans out haha!

This is sort of a WIP post as well as I'm trying to figure out the process I use for drawing the stuff I've been making lately. Hopefully analyzing my steps gets me closer to optimizing my process!
This was done rather fast where I pl...

Here's another process of a test I did with Artstudio Pro on the ipad. I feel more comfortable doing my illustration/lineless style here. If anyone is curious about how I do my lighting, I start with base colors (usually I think that these are the 'lit' colors) and then I use a multiply layer for the shadows. Then I just erase t...

Here's a a rough pass for the animation of this shot. There's a small blip in her head but I think I'll bump that out when I get into the cleanup. I'm actually planning to do a 2nd rough pass but looking at this it seems more or less what I'm aiming for! Perhaps I'll make a separate rough for the egg eyes.

Not too happy about the colors and layout of this one but I'll get there when I get there. This is more or less the palette I want to use: a mix of blues, greens, and yellows! I also threw in the first key drawing/pose I want for the animation as well!
Next up would be the animation and I am having mixed feelings for tha...

Trying something new for the sketch request tier! I figured I wasn't doing much with just busts so I feel like I'm achieving more with full bodies as I get to further push proportions/sizes! With that said though I still need to go even further (plus ultra, as some would say)!
It's more fun, nonetheless! A bit more challenging...
