Note: I decided to move this painting post from my homepage to the artblog cuz--it's art, ya.
For reference, here is the original painting.
It's not incredibly similar, but I'm having fun just trying and seeing what works. I wish I had a projector so I could easily discover and change mistakes, I always felt like my faces are askew compared to the references I use. But oh well, I'll see how it goes.
I love how this drawing turned out, I switched to csp on my laptop for the first time ever and was suprised that this turned out as well as it did!
Shout out to Across the Spiderverse for having really cool concept art! I referenced some of Hobie's concept art for the hair, the rest I was inspired by Tacodemuerte's art, I love how flowy and exciting--and energetic each and every piece they make is!
I'm still super proud of this drawing, and I hope to draw something like this again :)
This is a redraw of one of my previous attempts to draw this guy :3, for reference--here's my first attempt!
This was my first "experimental" piece, I decided to draw something different after scrolling through my older works, there is an artist by the name of big_squid_man on Instagram and I loved the way they used a limited color pallete, but mostly--I really dig the way they create backgrounds and characters with so much life and detail and I wanted to create something like that myself!
This is an unfinished drawing, and sadly--one I don't like as much.
This is also one of my least favorites, I don't know it seems everything I was going for was not there yet. The curtains could a lot more flowy, I think Blue Diamond's face is too stiff and not expressive enough. And the decor--like the trinkets hanging down the right side--are a little too much, the left side of the room doesn't have as much decor.
I might redraw this piece, though I don't think it'll happen--I'm in kind of a rut right now. I hope to push myself out of it soon, there's some more Animal Crossing fanart I've yet to finish.
I don't know exactly what to call this feeling, like apathy? No, more like indifference about my art and drawing in general. I actually get bored sitting behind my computer drawing and painting. And couldn't match the quality of art in my physical sketchbook if I wanted to. And it has me worried. I've been drawing since I was 9, I invested so much of my time, and effort and not to mention, money into making art--only for it to fade one day? I don't want that to happen, I don't want my skill to fizzle out into nothingness just when I was starting to actually see improvment. It feels unfair.
But like I said, hopefully, I can find a way to push myself out of it soon. I can't imagine living life without art.
This here be an old mspaint portrait of an oc of mine. Back when I wanted to include vampires to the world of Bloodsun.
