I Am Trying To Animate Again :D

Since I forgot to post a picture of the sketch before erasing, I thought: maybe I'll just post my coloring process instead. But guess who forgot to take a picture again.

Jupp. So moving past the first stage to the second. First off, I layed out the base colors but only with minimal pressure. Now I drew in the shadows with a darker pencil and also minimal pressure. Next, it's about to slowly make the colors more vibrant and mix differnt layers of colors to get the exact one I need.

And yes, I did forget about the scar again but added it just after this post.

And if anyone needs a tip on how to get vibrant colors with pencils, start with minimal pressure and keep layering more and more. In the end you can go over the color with more pressure.

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 😀

I was playing DND with some friends...

And originally I just wanted to sketch something meaningless but it evolved into me drawing my character from that session 😁

Let me introduce you to Nayra, my Tiefling fighter.

I am also lately obsessed with drawing with original art supplies like pencils and coloured pencils. (I am also currently trying myself on watercolours but we shouldn't talk about that 🙄)

I loooooove how that turned out ❤️

I have the problem, that I think my expressions are too plain ... I think I figured out a way to get myself to exaggerate them.

I'm simply drawing different expressions, simplified to a smiley in a circle, just that I draw it 3 times. Each time, I try to make the expression more intense. and then I draw it on a face.

(I'm making the 25-essential-expressions challange)

Like here some examples:

Happy:

Sad (Idk, not too satisfied with that one but whatever):

Pleased (I like this very much. Like that smug character winning another argument and then smiling at you like that and saying, Told you~ ... or just a cute cinnamon roll ...):

Angry:

And confused:

Looks kinda good. If I did that challenge without the three smiley faces, it would show less expression.

Thought I might share that, maybe that helps someone.

Okay, I've been putting off my animation for this entire week and finally told myself, you need to continue.

Fighting perfectionism again and oh boy, it's a rough fight.

And here I am, not able to animate the first scene of my animation properly.

Also, I think this took overhand. I wanted to start small to get used to animating but it snowballed into a too huge project. And I also feel my perfectionism taking over again.

I think, it's best if I put what I have into my drafts and come back to it at a later moment. I need to find something small I can train with and not a two minute project.

I can also achieve parts of my goal by training them without the animation part. Like, the goal for this project was to get familiar with post-production. But I can also try to achieve that with pictures. A little bit easier for now.

Or maybe a short animation of ONE scene. No cuts. Well, this would be a single cut, but I hope you know what I mean.

I figured I have trouble drawing the hair of one of my ocs and I figured out I have the same problem drawing the hair of Bakugou. That means, I'll keep drawing Bakugou until I figured out the secret to his hair and why when I draw it from imagination it doesn't look right.

Grumpy boi and drawing no. 1

Also: that's just copied from a sceencap.

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...)

I decided to make a new blog for that 😁

Welcome to DesolateTale!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog about my AU DesolateTale!

I already had the idea about a year ago, but never really got to make the actual story become reality at some point. (or gave up trying, but this time it's different. I have a plan!)

With this story, I wanted to take the approach of the genocide run and flip it 360° while also connecting it to the always-expanding multiverse.

I will try my best to keep this blog updated, but I cannot guarantee consistent updates. If you want to ask me anything about it or have any other things you want to tell me, feel free to ask me here or on my main blog @lostvi21. I would be happy to answer.

Progress Update on Izuku: lineart done

Here the links to the sketch and the colors.
