[lividmorris]

Lmao, my sincerest apologies, I understand underrated blorbo hell, alright lemme think of something. Red Son + Grimace shake but spicy hot flavor, totally nonchalant as MK is dying next to him bc of the same drink.

I don’t think I got the whole “dying” next to Red Son bit down but hopefully this works pfft—

Yooo Idk if I should be asking this here but I adore the way you draw Pink!!! I wish I could draw her just like you, the expressions omg you do it like no other! Was um thinking though do you have any tips on drawing her? The hair is a real problem haha not mention the cut out she has on her clothes and her shoulder poofs oof. I didnt wanna ask on tour art blog cause I dont wanna clutter it up with this silly question.

oh woah thanks!! its fine to ask in the other blog, but i can answer here too i dont mind.

as i haven't seen your art, i can only give tips on what i've seen that -while are valid ways of interpret the character's look- i think doesn't quite work with the way i personally draw her

1. the crown

i think this one is caused by people not knowing very well how to visualize tridimensional shapes. what do i mean when i say avoid "crown hair" at all costs? its this habit of drawing the hair as if she were wearing a tiara or a weird bun: face and bangs in front, rest of the hair in the back.

nope for me! think of dustbunnies and dandelions. its as light as air, it could take off at any moment. if you have trouble drawing spherical shapes, then it's easy: practice with cotton and clouds as reference. the lines of these objects are subtle and soft, more obvious in flat angles than upfront. mass > individual strands

2. say no to the droop 🚫

pink's hair doesn't work according to gravity, don't let it fall! don't let any of those masses point downwards. this is only my taste but the way i see it it goes against her character, one of her powers is floating! 😂 how could her hair not be flying too?

i think this happens when the center of the hair is roughly the same as the center of her face, but the truth is that they do not coincide, the center of the hair is closer to the top of her head. this is not a hardcut rule that you must painstakingly reproduce on paper ofc but something to have in mind. over all, more hair on top that below her nose.

3. break the shape!

make it imperfect, just like she is imperfect. this is an aspect of her design that contrasts very well with what white's design is supposed to represent. flexibility vs rigidity, roundness vs spikeness, freedom vs rule. white has no hair out of place, pink has never seen a comb. you get the idea.

personally i do it like this:

4. childlike proportions

her head is big in relation to her body. this is caused by the fact that she is baby. here you can see that the proportions are obvious when we give the diamonds roughly the same height (from scalp to toe)

5. its just pears

imagine that the shoulder pads are pears, maybe a squash. but like squished at the bottom? and made of rubber? does that make anything about them easier? 😂

turning the clothing into basic shapes can help you in some cases to visualize how physics affect them. her torso is a cilinder, her skirt is the section of a cone, her pants are just like her pads!

those pesky folds are really hard to master though. once i saw that drawing the rim of it first gives very good results.

well i think that's it! i hope that helped? good luck 👍
