#but hair shapes….hard

[cissie-queen-jones]

Attempting to learn to draw for the first time in years and trying not to let the fact that I’m not immediately good at this stop me

#me drawing faces with references an guidelines now: :D #me drawing hair: D: #why is hair so hard #I’m not having any issues with getting face stuff down #but hair shapes….hard #I have a new video tutorial to watch tomorrow #maybe that will help #also I keep getting jump scared by my old anime art from years ago #because I haven’t gotten a new sketch pad #probably should since the spine fell off of this one and it’s held together with duct tape #anyway

My Kagura style study. (on the left) And manga chapter cover for 374 on the right. It's a study rendering a stylized design in a realistic way.

I got lost in some of the colors but it was a fun challenge.

#I got a little lost in her neck and in her hair.. #it was hard for me to imagine there what shape it was supposed to be #inuyasha #kagura of the wind #some of painting becomes 3d but some of it remains 2d. she is still flat at parts #old retro anime would render hair as if it was a kinda plasticy shiny material.. maybe that would help me here #i wanted her hair to be matte for impact but i also wanted to show definition #the cheek bone line is probably also way too defined.. maybe rumiko was going for a 'soft curve' there and not a joint

#.jpg #jrwi #jrwi riptide #jrwi chip #jazz is also there but not enough to be worth tagging #i think his hair is gradually turning into a mane #this was more simplification practice #tryingggg to make things simpler And keep varied face shapes without it looking weird #which. not hard for some people but it’s not what i’m used to lol #not that this is exactly varied it’s one guy but ykwim

ouppys and kibbys

#finally got around to designing lucky and auggies ma and pa ^_^ #parhelion means sun dog and is a light refraction phenomenon. eudora is the name of an ocean nereid hence the rain motif #it was hard balancing some of the parents traits so they show up somewhat evenly but- auggie inherited the flecks in eudoras hair #instead of raindrops she has stars. also takes after her with brown hair and cat ears #although its only brown until she swallows the star which changes her hair to pink and white. vincent also inherits that #but she got her dads blue eyes and lighter skin tone!! #lucky has a darker shade of parhelions hair + dog ears and tail but inherited eudoras brown eyes and darker skin #the green part is supposed to resemble a four leaf clover to mirror auggies star shaped bangs but he kinda looks like a carrot lol #very very happy with how these turned out!!! #i havent put this anywhere bc its not solid but if i had to give them a last name it would probably be byrd. the byrd family #my art #myart #my oc #oc #augusta #lucky #parhelion #eudora #eye contact #staring

"harley quinn's never had a good design in the last deca-!" WRONG dropkicks you through a brick wall

#dw i do plan to make an actual entire post about her best looks cause i stg #none of these people have ever picked up something with harley in the past 20 years #i love her jester suit sm but fuck do some of these people make it hard cause theyre just so stupid #and wrong #cant be me tho<3333 #harley quinn #harleen quinzel #dc comics #''omg but her hair“ SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP #let her be goofy and have fun colored hair ffs 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪 #sometimes the hair color you want isn't really gonna go with most of your outfits #but having colorful hair is fun!! so who cares! #she could dye all her hair crystal blue with orange highlights and damnit ill still support her #everyone understands the Post Breakup Messing With Your Hair phase but get so bent outta shape that she wants to keep her hair #how it is and how she decided to have it dyed after fully ending things with him. #genuinely #some of yall just haven't had the experience of dying your hair unnatural colors multiple times over the years. #cause yea sometimes your hair is just not gonna be a perfectly crafted match unless you like solely wear a single color #like if someone dyes their hair blue are they just not allowed to wear stuff that doesnt directly go with the hair color? cause thats stupid

swapping between watching etho s7 and bdubs s5 is going to do permanent damage to my brain

nearly forgot! i'm trying to remember to turn on timelapse recording more often, so while it's just a sketch page, there's a timelapse of the first pic if you're interested ^-^ (flashing img warning, but no colors/palette testing so not as bad as usual? probably.)

once again i forget to start recording until i've already started but nevermind that not super interesting given it's a sketch page but i know some of yall just think the process is neat :)

#beef design! yay! prob gonna go through infinite tweaks as time goes on but #that's just how i do it lmao #normally i'd fill in beef's hair black but i was worried it'd ruin the beard shape i worked so hard for kdsfgbjk #beards hard. i'm gettin there tho #ethoslab #bdoubleo100 #vintagebeef #hermitcraft season 7 #hermitcraft season 5 #<- gonna start tagging seasons when i'm drawing stuff directly related to eps ^-^ #or try to remember at least lmao #hermitcraft #hermitcrap #mcyt #art #fanart #nho bdubs good because. because. ar. armss. arms out <3 #timelapse

the discord cooked up a real world setting au so i made some semi-realistic-but-not-really portraits of the museum trio to go with it

#epithet erased #dairydraws #molly blyndeff #sylvester ashling #giovanni potage #ee #jelloapocalypse #museum trio #the fact that i had to google ‘fifteen year old’ to do this… #artist google image search histories are the dumbest shit #you think you know what a teenager looks like until you have to draw one #it’s insane. also now that i’m not longer a teenager it’s suddenly really hard to draw teenagers and i HATE that #molly’s hair is fun to draw when i completely disregard how it looks in canon and just draw a 4a afro #nobody’s caught me yet but that’s what i do every time #because seriously whatever is going on with her canon hair shape. dear lord in heaven

How much would it cost to see post lov Loudspeaker with all of his scars? I have shiny rocks and seashells

Doesn't take much to convince me to draw Loudspeaker. But give me your coolest rock.

#horikoshi give mic scars challenge #make him cooler >:( #if i had the rights to mha I'd make the Loudspeaker au canon I reckon it'd really add some excitement #I don't keep up with the show any more I only pay attention when Mic is doing something #If he dies I'm going mental because there is no reason in the plot for him to die. I think Horikoshi kills off characters #just for shock value sometimes #like Midnight #done being annoyed. chill again now #his burns were originally supposed to be hand shaped but that was really hard to draw #did anyone notice in the showdown comic that his hair gradually flattened so it wasn't in the Loudspeaker style anymore #to show his return to the light #or did i illustrate that for nothing #i feel like it's not as effective if I just tell you I did it but whatever #imagine if you were in class and your teacher made you analyse the Loudspeaker au #bnha #hizashi yamada #present mic #villain!mic #loudspeaker au #im going to dekaianime do you guys want anything

*aqua voice* TERRAHHH

there is no greater pain that being unable to draw ur fav. terra for whatever reason has just been SOOO hard for me to draw. n i finally after over a yr have made something i think i actually like YAY

terra baby i love you so much

#kingdom hearts #terra kh #birth by sleep #kh bbs #kh terra #TEWWA BAYBEEE IM SORRY #its been a tough balance between a lot of things. 1 trying to translate the square enix style into my own. HARD. especially the hair #2 trying to inject my hcs. i like to interpret terra as a bit boxier than in canon but ive been having diffuculty keeping it *terra* #for a long time i think i went too sharp n too masculine trying to emphasize the darker more hostile part of his character #but then it just. didnt look like him. #so i went softer this time more rounded shapes more subtle shading #n i think finally that has worked #and lastly. 3 #i think bc i loved him SO much i overthought it. i wanted every detail to be right instead of focusing on the bigger picture. #so it never looked 'right' to me. i was so concerned in maknig it perfect it actually. SUCKED #anyways ya #hopefully this isnt a fluke n ive finally cracked drawing him. finally #also no pauldron bc i want NOTTTT drawing that #LOL #consider this a companion piece to the aqua one #peep the eyes HEHE

a moth! smol baby! this took a lot of un-doing, re-doing, and troubleshooting, but I’m very happy with how they turned out!!

#sky cotl #that sky game #sky children of the light #crochet #amigurumi #sky moth #the hair was so hard to figure out #the shape is so weird

[iscreamkitty]

Frantically sketched this out because I love this panel so much and I wanted to practice drawing their human forms :]

#tmnt #tmnt fanart #tmnt mikey #tmnt raph #tmnt x power rangers #tmnt comics #tmnt idw #oodle doodles #still trying to figure out how to draw raph’s hair #Mikey’s too I suppose #sunset duo #raph’s is hard for me tho because I kept making it too big and too consistent #while it’s actually a little bit more like…jagged? can’t think of the right word #but each grouping has like…a unique shape and I just kept wanting to draw the same square 😭 #anyway #sorry I was lazy with this but heehee it’s five am
