#figural drawing

[s-u-w-i]

Hi! Huge fan - always swooning over your characters! 💙 I'm a children's book illustrator and I'm a big fan of expressive, diverse character work that often comes from people with an animation background. Julia Sarda, Chris Sasaki, etc. I'm trying to be very targeted in my practice and I'm curious if you think life drawing is still a critical skill to develop for more stylized characters that don't have that Disney/commercial vibe. Thank you so much - appreciate any direction! 💙

Hello! I'm sorry to answer this late! And thank you, glad you like my stuff! Ah well, for me personally life drawing and classic figural drawing are really important, also I enjoy it very much. I guess it's not exactly necessary and sometimes it can even cause some difficulties with stylization if you get too stuck in the anatomy. But I think that if you know the classical drawing you can vary your style more so you don't get stuck in some stylization and then use it for everything you do. It's also best to be inspired by real people and not just other illustrators because that way you won't end up copying someone else's style. But I was taught classical drawing at school for a long long time and also I'm officially an animator so this is a very biased point of view.

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”

#Frankenstein #gothic literature #gothic lit art #victor frankenstein #happy new year lads #ive been thinking about nothing else but them for the past 3 days #been trying to figure out a decent design for victor and i think im getting closer #he needs to have a cruelness to him #and he needs to be kind of pathetic #someone who the creature could snap in half yknow #and i need to make the creature more Mean looking but it just feels right to draw him sad and despairing #THAT BEING SAID i think i did a good job here hehe #henry is next :))) #my art #illustration

assorted bat practice... on top of everything he has the audacity to be hard for me to draw

#astarion #bg3 #my art #eventually want to do this for everyone #polish/collect/post a bunch random drawings ive got lying around from figuring out how i want to draw them #he just has more complete ones bc unfortunately. i do like him. #i just always have to take like ten passes at his likeness #my findings are that you can always make his face narrower and the eye bags are load-bearing

These started out as MLP versions of the dog lads but quickly got away from me and became just their own thing. Machete is a medieval unicorn and Vasco was inspired by Renaissance tack and carousel horses.

#own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #Machete #Vasco #once again being reminded how weird and difficult horses are #and troubled by the fact that if I want to depict Vasco doing equestrian things I sort of have to eventually figure out how to draw horses

it's rare I get a character with a similar hair type to me that isn't one of my ocs. so here's some kabru's in some hairstyles, half of which are haircuts I've had before

#I've been getting frustrated seeing people draw kabru's hair too straight so I figured I should just draw my own instead of complain lol #dungeon meshi #kabru #marcille donato #my art

"LOL this flip-flop wearing loser thinks he's gonna kick my ass and destroy my whole kingdom in the span of an afternoon. What an idiot"

I didn't intend for this to be a full comic, which is why it just kinda ends. Sowwy

#one piece #monkey d luffy #donquixote doflamingo #trafalgar law #i've been too nice to dofy so im gonna draw him suffering #dofy feels insulted and takes out his annoyance on the ptsd victim #also really loving trebol being the manipulator and then being like “hey this kid is alright!” then becoming the manipulated himself #him turning into a weird enabling father figure without ever intending to is great #but oda intentionally made him so gross an unappealing bc HE KNOWS he can get away with it bc the story is so good #and i hate him for it #anyway dressrosa's a good arc

[pouletpourri]

I know the circustances didn't make it avaliable, but..I kinda wish we had a farewell scene

#listen listen their friendship means everything to me #screw canon screw anything that's her DAD he's her honorary DAD alright #simon's a honorary dad to whoever needs it #also drawing dad figures being soft with their honorary children is therapeutic to my familial issues #simon petrikov #adventure time #fionna and cake #my art #fanart #fionna and cake spoilers #fionna campbell #adventure time fionna and cake #damn i can't draw people hugging to save my life #btw i didnt forget about marceline marcy's the apple of his eye #simon is just bursting with dad energy that's all
