Lol Just A Simple Animation Test I Haven't Animated In Sooo Long

found a bunch more OCs i made when I was 9 these are obv more fleshed out more detailed but still you can see the colours and patterns go crazy

slightly learned to blend markers so thats why there's so many gradients/stripes, finally at this point realised I can have an area that isn't one colour or just a pattern

some of these have... interesting fashion

i have ZERO clue whats going on with 4 arms lady actually crazy design I was just slapping all my gel pen colours on there

dog girl is cute tho

had to research sm for pronghorn cheetah girl I was such a nerd (still am tbh) I watched wild kratts and instantly became obsessed with pronghorns I wrote they were my favourite animal and everything

still cant draw animals but i tried

OC by @xxcannot-do-mathxx (not sure the name)

erm i had a LOT of fun haha i kind of went over the top, I wanted to emphasise the expression and scariness lol

i'm really proud of the shading and colouring I think it looks great

I spent 4 hours on just this simple bust that's way too long but I think it was worth it I really like how fun this is

one day I'll open commissions but rn I've got way too much work to do

highkey terrified of deviantart, the things i've seen there...

Hello again, I’ve “finished” that drawing I asked you about a while ago! I think I’ll add some lettering to the bottom and make the green-lighted lady’s arms larger, but aside from that, what do you think I should revise? I also wanted to add a glitch effect to the characters at the top (for lore reasons), but I can’t tell if it looks horrible or not. I also am a bit worried about compositional readability.

Please let me know what you think! If context helps, this is a project which will be included in my school portfolio. Thank you for answering my ask before also ☺️

the glitch effect is cool, but id stick to red, white, and blue for the colours of the glitch, as the green looks out of place and muddy. the characters at the top are also very dark and at first glance I didn't see them at all. if they are meant to be hidden that's fine, but I just want to let you know they aren't very visible, so if that's not your intention id make them brighter or the lighting on them stronger.

the shading looks great for most of the characters but I cant understand where the light source is coming from for the yellow character on the right (not the one in the middle). the shading is also very soft, which for some surfaces makes sense, but in this drawing, everything is shaded very softly with an airbrush. id include some more hard edges in shading since those are important, especially in the face. there should definitely be harder shadows/highlights on the noses too. the hair needs harder highlights especially, all of the hair here looks very soft like a pillow, and not shiny like hair actually is. darker skin is also more reflective and has more contrasted shading, but in this art piece the lighter skin and the darker skin are shaded the same.

the strong coloured highlights really swallow up the colours of the characters clothes and skin, which is why I prefer to use multiply and overlay blend modes, since it retains the colour underneath all the shading.

if I blur my eyes and look at the drawing as a whole, the lightest and most eye-catching part of the drawing is in the middle with the white character, but it seems the characters in the very front should be more emphasised. so i'd say to make the bottom of the image even brighter, simply an overlay layer with a white airbrush can brighten it up, also putting the overlay over the characters at the very top can make them brighter, its a very easy fix.

the pink and light blue character's skintones are looking rather grey, a little bit more orange/red can help with this. i would say the grey character's skin also looks grey, but that's their colour so I'm not sure if that's intentional.

also I'm not sure if the white text is important, but I do want to point out that I have no clue what it says, I can't read it. (I see starry mask on the left, but what does it say on the right? I'm seeing "cplouge") also this is optional but I really like to do it and it adds a lot of life to art, just adding a small white highlight in the eyes

hope i helped!

erm... sevika kinda bad

searched her name on tumblr and im glad I'm not the only who likes her lmaooo some of you down bad more than I am

this isnt a good drawing we dont talk about it... literally anytime I wanna draw fanart I just cant cuz I feel like it wont be as good as the show 😭 sooooo enjoy extremely bad fanart of any fandom I'm in

also idk what her outfit is thats way too complex (I say with my own ridiculously complex OC designs for a COMIC of all things)

Astrid, character by poppygumi on Reddit

erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot

OCs i made when I was 10 (we're moving up from age 9!)

crazy to see how much things changed in terms of character design in just one year, they became so much more complex

colour wise, i was still an amateur lol, I had to change the colours slightly for some of these characters to make them look more unified cuz I was still just putting every single colour in all my designs

patterns went even crazier this is the SIMPLIFIED version of the designs so imagine what the originals looked like

def was my armour era boy everyone had armour i rarely made "normal" OCs

space era is exciting ngl i love drawing aliens and getting loose with it, I don't have to constrain myself as much I can just do whatever I want

its so funny cuz you can tell that I LOVED colour like the bad guys are literally the ones who are all grey and monotone (those two guys are good now tho)

the 3 ppl in the image that includes the red alien (and the blue alien) are the main OCs of a comic I made in 4th grade the plot is INSANE like actually ridiculous its so crazy it almost becomes satire

新年快乐!!!!!!!

erm today was literally crazy tho idk what happened I woke up so late and had to rush so much

im so excited to eat yummy food

i saw the teeniest hummingbird just now anyone know what species this is?? it was so small it could fit in my palm and it flew by really fast, oh this was in California bay area btw, the green part was iridescent that's what that shine is lol

never seen this before thats why im asking usually I see the green and pink one, it especially caught my eye cuz its neck was SO red like bright scarlet red

also cuz... you dont usually see hummingbirds in winter idk whats up with this lil guy do hummingbirds get lost 😭

im not a zoological artist (or anyone who can draw animals in general ngl) don't judge but it was chubby so that part is intended

ignore the hand we dont talk about it its for size comparison

obligatory addition of my CHUBBY year of the snake decoration its not even a snake anymore its just a little toothpaste blob

i got it from daiso lol how do they have literally everything

Rosalyn, character by NoHealth5568 on Reddit

it's funny cuz you can always tell that I like to draw face the most, like the face is always so much neater and polished

sigh i'm DEF not doing any more art trades until summer man finals be kicking my ass and I keep procastinating on some project that's literally art so it should be easy for me but I just don't wanna do it

lasso tool carried this whole drawing ngl

wait... did i eat

WHY DOES TUMBLR NERF MY IMAGE QUALITY I don't spend time on detail for nothing

im working on adding random colours and stuff I love adding colours but sometimes it just looks bad idk HOW DO THE MASTERS ADD THE WHOLE RAINBOW IN A DRAWING AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD

erm... just realised i never draw makeup and the only makeup I know how to draw is 2016 makeup 😭

i love rendering eyes and adding reflections for no reason

blue and orange is the goat combo of colours why do they always look good together

i cant stop adding crazy amounts of detail to my drawings I love details sm

its less shiny and low contrasted than my usual stuff but idk I was lowkey going for more flat colour I just wanted to do something a little different

i do implore you to zoom in everything I'm proud of is at the microscopic level

also lowkey looks like asha that was not my intention I swear
