If you're tight on budget but still want a pretty custom character illustration, I'm the person you need😉

I suck at creating whimsical places, abstractions, and creatures. I simply cannot imagine them. I thought this made my art boring.
I'm trying to use references for inspiration. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail. But here's a thing.

More sketches.
After the lessons on spatial drawing and perspective I decided to practise a bit.

Ok now. Today I studied drawing characters in space. I don't have pictures with me, but here's what the master keeps saying throughout the video:
YOU WANNA KEEP IT SIMPLE. THINK IN SIMPLE SHAPES. THINK IN OVERLAPPING SHAPES. EASY AND SIMPLE.

Studying character design with Aaron Blaise: day 3
Today's topic was "eyes". After the lesson, I realized that I need to keep up with what Aaron draws, and for that I need to practice what I learned from the first lesson on expressions.

I'M ANIMATING AGAIN, BABY
I love seeing my pictures move, but I get tired of animating very-very, like, super quickly...

LOVE my own notes so far😭
I'm typically not a fan of art study materials (maybe that's why I progress so slowly) but this feels great

The first lesson was about the stuff I should do before drawing the characters. I did do this with my OCs but it still feels like I'm about to redesign them again🤪
I've got Aaron Blaise's "Character design" course. The intro lesson had a 3min video, which looked quite easy and quick enough to check out before going to bed.
However, there're also 5+GB of bonus material under the video. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I made a YCH piece for vgen after all. Idk, I usually don't draw stuff for such events, especially with branded characters, but this particular platform hosts events that are actually cute and hard to skip.

I made a poster to release some frustration. Ever since I stopped being chatty people assume I'm shy around them. Meanwhile, I'm just enjoying the quiet.

I've suddenly recalled how proud my mom was when she saw me taking a book and sitting aside from the other kids to enjoy it in kindergarten.
The thing is, I also remember me sitting there, looking at the pages, and just hoping nobody would interact with me.

Man, sketches in my sketchbook sure got more interesting when I stopped thinking that I'm gonna upload everything I draw.

Yesterday I was on my way home when I saw a guy I wanted to draw so much that I actually asked for his contact. Felt risky, but I might do that again.
