I am grateful for people who draw out character design references.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 12:36 am

Okay so I forgot the rotate canvas option exists and all the while I was just twisting my neck to draw sideways

Well, I think it isn't that bad. I just lost the progress I had on copying the base part for Specter.
I think I lost all my brush settings and pressure calibrating though :/

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 12:42 am

Okay THANK GOODNESS the pressure stayed good.
The brush settings disappeared but it's not a lot of trouble to fix that.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 12:45 am

Ah great, now I can't draw mouths.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 12:58 am

The more I look at it, the more this neck looks weird.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:03 am

I have decided.
This is, even if a sketch, unpostable.
I'm just doing the sketch for fun now. I'm going to draw it in traditional some other day when I have time.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:06 am

The only one who looks decent in the drawing is Chan.
like wow lol I wasn't even able to draw Specter correctly.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:07 am

Actually I think I've pinpointed the source of the problem(s).
The base I've used to draw this is very faulty in the first place.
Of course that I'm not practiced enough to edit it to my taste in digital.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:17 am

Agh this sucks but I'm going to post it here anyways because I want to show that I do have that Rumor Squad drawing in my mind as a WIP (not a RIP, thank you fingers).

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:22 am

I used a base.
Here, please wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
I'm putting it as a spoiler not because it's one, but because I don't want to scare anyone by having the sketch show up full size.

So it's the Rumor Squad from RA!
Top right, it's supposed to be Corvus (but I know I messed up and the base was ABSOLUTELY OF NO HELP with that). Top left, Kaori. His neck is fjdnkfsdjkskjsd ummm xD I'll blame the base for that too and also I didn't know how to fix it.
Lower left is Chan, the only character in the drawing who looks pretty and nice. And lower right is Specter. Let's not talk about how Specter can't draw their own sona well lol.

I am going to draw this again when I have time. But probably in actual paper lol it's easier to mess with proportions and edits there.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 1:35 am

Anyways I grabbed another base and if this doesn't look horrible then I'm going to adorn my pfp with it.
Until I make or find a better one that is.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 3:05 am

I think it looks okay.
I'm proud of the coloring.

RUMOR SQUAD RUMOR SQUAD RUMOR SQUAD-

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 11:30 am

xD yeah them
I feel bad for sketching that :') today it looks worse to me than it did last night

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 11:38 am

I don't think I'll be able to draw much today but maybe I can sketch something in my recess.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 12:26 pm

I've taken to carrying and flipping my sketchbook in the air anywhere I go at home.
It's too small to draw comfortably but it looks really cool.
The only good drawing there is that one of RA!Chan. Hmm.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 6:57 pm

I still don't master heigh differences in drawing oof

SpecterTheGreat · 8/17/2020 7:30 pm

I like designing outfits for my characters.
Now that I have some time finally, I'm going to sketch (and maybe finish?) a few party outfits because dresses rock.

Time · 8/18/2020 12:08 am

I don't often create multiple outfits but I can see how it's enjoyable yea

SpecterTheGreat · 8/18/2020 12:38 pm

It's not like I make A LOT of outfits, but like. I enjoy dressing up my OCs in party clothes or stuff like that.
I actually do multiple outfits in dollmakers and varied expressions too.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/18/2020 12:50 pm

Me: *coloring Allen's green coat*
My dad: *peeks over my shoulder* Oh! Is that the frog prince?
Me: -_-

SpecterTheGreat · 8/18/2020 4:26 pm

I'm still trying to figure out combinations for skin colors. The one I have atm for darker skins works perfectly well as long as the hair is medium brown or darker.
I tried it with blue hair and it looks super weird. Or maybe it was that my blue wasn't dark enough oof.

SpecterTheGreat · 8/18/2020 4:47 pm

Okay I think the main problem is that I pressed the pencils too much and the color looks too saturated.
It would be okay but the hair and clothes are colored more lightly, soooo
