I've realized that I didn't post anything from my sketchbook yet 😆
I just drew a nice picture of one of my main characters Toby:
Pretty proud on that one 😁 I also put a sticker-like outline around him and it looks cool 😊
Should I post more of the sketches I did? I'll think about that later. Guess I am thrilled again to draw after taking a couple of days break 🤩
(I've been playing Sea of Stars lately and that game is sooo good 😍)
And I already made a second one, with my second main character Clyde:
Just drew this dude. I think studying the mha artstyle really improved my artstyle. I love him ❤️ and it didn't really take that long to draw that.
Also, take some sketches I did beforehand:
I don't know his name yet, but I think his quirk would be something with superspeed. (Might call it slowmotion or reverse slowmotion, depends on how I'll make it work.)
I really like the idea that he has always a pair of sunglasses with him, to avoid dust getring into his eyes while in superspeed. And also to be the coolest kid around 😎
Also his quirk shows in his personality. He's mostly impatient since everything is going too slow for him.
His hero idol is Hawks. He definetly aims to become quicker than him to claim the title as fastest hero.
I like him way too much. Also, I decided to give his quirk the name Superspeed and his hero name is Slowmotion, since in his perception he slows down his entire surroundings as he uses his quirk.
Trying to create a character sheet for him for this year's ArtFight. If you want, check out my profile (got a lot of old characters back there where I DEFINITELY need to redraw the ref-sheets since my style changed a lot.)
(I could also imagine him wearing a Hawaiian shirt instead of his orange T-shirt. He would definitely look good in that... Gotta add this to the lost of things I want to draw but probably forget about again.)
I like the card idea, so I just drew a couple hands holding a card from reference.
Still not sure if I should go nuts with his outfit or just keep it simple.
And this is the hair done. I started coloring the shadows and the light parts seperatly and went over it with more pressure.
But my pencil broke so many times as I sharpened it 😞 I guess I must have dropped it somewhere for it to break that much.
Also, the paper started curling again. And another problem: due to the mass of pencil on paper, it sticked to my palm and stuck to the right side of the page. Luckily I managed to erase most of it. It's still slightly visible but so light that I probably won't mind.
Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.
Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume
Can't wait to line and color it 😀
Just to prove that this hand looks like the one from the scene:
And yeah, I have no idea why I drew this. And ignore the arm from the hand.
Some warm-up and trying to figure out how to draw Error. So, I made this little reference sheet for myself 😊 (there's also more stuff on it, but this is the most important part 😂)
I was also thinking: Okay, I need to think about when he reacts in a certain way to draw him. I could technically go and combine some emotions in a scene and make a little comic out of it. With that I would be able to train expressions AND train drawing comics 😁
(if you couldn't tell already, I like to set myself overambitious goals 😅)
AND what will be the most difficult, as I realize right now, I always tend to forget the glitches 😥 Need to keep that in mind...
added it 😁 and this is a typical case of: I'll just do a quick sketch... whops, my hand slipped 😂
Error by @loverofpiggies
but I don't know who. I need to train expressions and wanted to do the "25 Essential Expressions" challenge but I don't know who to draw. So I thought: Hey, this could be a cool idea to let somebody else decide!
Sooo, that's what I'll try:
Whoop Whoop! Making another one 😀
That piece is pain. I traced the sketch on a separate layer and started with the lineart but I messed up the eyes. I tried to fix it but now it's smudged. Now I can start over again tracing my sketch.
I think this time, I won't trace the eyes and just try to get the expression I want.
Okay I made a sick sketch
It's tiny (like on the corner of my sketchbook) but I saw that pose and I was thinking like, okay this is EXACTLY how it looks when he uses his quirk so I scribbled down the pose and then drew him.
I want to make that in big. With markers. And maybe even make a background. And hang it on the wall to Kirishima and Denki.
And I was also thinking of something funny. The way he would describe how he fights with his quirk:
I can use my quirk as a weapon. Just think of it ... like a table. A table isn't dangerous, right? Then you accidentally drop something beneath it, try to pick it up and while getting back up you hit your head against the table. Although, it's just a table, it still hurts, right?
(I'm not sure if I'll allow him to reshape his forcefields but if I do, he would add:
Now imagine the table being a spikey pyramid...)
Well, here I am again, telling myself to start small and then wanting to whip out a 3 min animation.
Why does it always happen that I get carried away at some point while doodeling? Here, have a happy Izuku.
I should also try again working on my own artstlye again and just stop drawing screencaps from mha.
Ehh, whatever. Too much fun to stop 😝
