MAKING REFS IS SO HARD. I wanna maybe maybe maybe (no promises) actually participate in artfight for the first time but I don’t have any good refs for literally any of my ocs. sonic or not. And i’ve got 5 days. And i don’t think i’ve made a ref sheet literally ever… augh

Whats like the minimum necessary/preferred reference poses? Front, 3/4ths, side, back? I could probably get away with no head-on front with humans right. Sonic ocs probably not though. Its so hard figuring out what angles are necessary to provide reference for so designs are understandable to anyone except me. Also hellish trying to come up with like, base/neutral/literal/canon colours, i only deal in approximates and don’t use the same colours more than twice. Red is red and also anywhere between orange and pink and grey in different contexts. Sometimes i fuck even with relative values if it looks nice. idfk what colours my ocs are devoid of any and all context. also why the fuck did i make my ocs with so many tiny stupid details. getting their likeness is easy, barely takes a minute, but getting them on model takes foreverrrr. i’m so sleepy i need to go to bed

#i can probably sketch four sets of four angles if i don’t get too caught up on posing. i did them really REALLY rough already #but cleanup plus line and/or colour? if a miracle happens maybe #rambles #i feel like half the notes on ths refs would be ‘literally don’t even bother drawing this detail’ #lotta what i draw is me bullshitting stuff. idk what i’m doing ever #goddamn you can tell i’m tired #oc posting #kinda. ehatevr #and yeah i know i don’t actually have to have full ref sheets done by the first i can upload them whenever into july #and i can upload other art of them as good enough ref #but if i don’t do it this specific way i’ll die
