Artfight really spiked my inspiration. Disregarding the fact, I wanted to draw each day and gave up after a week due to a lack of motivation, I kept working on an old story I once came up with. (But I will still revenge any attack I didn't start 😉)
And seeing how other creators work with full passion on their work (currently vibing to the EPIC-soundtrack) fires my passion as well.
I am currently more into redesigning the about 20 characters I have for my story ("In-Between" btw.) and trying to figure out how to draw them in the scenes I had in mind.
I don't know why I feel like I need to justify. Probably for myself because I am yeeting my goal for this month into the trash. But it's okay. The main thing about this, is that I learned something. And that is what makes improvement, right?
My Artfight attack-card.
Feel free to attack me :D
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.)
Finished it. I'm kind of not satisfied with the result. (Don't get me wrong, I still think this looks good) I need to keep drawing with markers to learn to use them better.
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.
Jupp, we're getting there.
Still need to get a name for him...
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...)
Jupp, we're getting there.

Note: My place is currently such a mess. Shreds of paper everywhere.
And I can't stop moving the hand in all different positions. Now I've realized that the way I drew it, it is similar to that one scene where Katsuki and Shoto make those stupid cute anime faces. That scene made me laugh for over a minute.

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.

Damn, replicating that pose in big was difficult. And the hand! I just couldn't get it right. It finally ended in me doing a second sketch but I kept trying to draw that hand over the old one and got it right but couldn't get it right on the new one. So, I cut it out and laid it on top.
And now, I think this looks so much cooler, that I'll keep the hand drawn on a separate layer.

I drew superspeed a little friend, so they could cause havoc together.
And I used markers for this one (except the skin because I don't have the right colors.)
I also don't have a name for him but this sweet guy admires Edgeshot and straves to become one of the top ten heroes, just as him.
I don't have a name for his quirk as well, but he can create force fields and absorb physical force. Then he can release all of the force he collected. That also works with quirks but he can only absorb one quirk-impact at a time and needs to release it before being able to absorb another quirk-impact. (And with quirk-impact I mean something like a wall of ice hitting the force field.)
And for just trying out to draw with markers again this turned out pretty cool. I remember the last time I tried that I got frustrated as I colored in the skin and the character started to look like an orange. But this blend of pencils and markers feels nice. Not spending an entire day on a drawing and getting vibrant colors.
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog page. I'm lostvi and I like drawing stuff 😋
Currently, you can expect infrequent updates on me drawing from doodles to finished pieces (although those are mostly rare) My next long-term goal is drawing short comics to get a feel for composition and backgrounds. Furthermore, my big dream is to create my own animations. But I guess, step by step, am I right?
I am currently working on my own story that I call "In-Between". You might see me post some stuff about my OCs.
Things I like: Undertale, MC Life Series and Hermitcraft and My Hero Academia.
If you want to ask me anything, feel free to do so.
I went a little further and started experimenting with colors. And this is what came out.
I also decided that his hero name is Superspeed.
(I'm still worried that he looks really similar to Denki...)
Also happy that this could be a good step towards creating comics 😀
Note: I made a picture of myself for drawing the hands and man, that made it a lot easier.
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.

Okay, it's the next day by now but I'm done!
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 😀
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.

I wanted to talk more about the coloring. I layered the colors in this way:
Base color - red
Shadows - dark red
Base color again (even over the shadows) - red
Shadows again - dark red
Alternate base color over everything - pinkish red
Darken shadows - black
I use the black to mute the color a little.
And now I am applying moderate pressure to get a more vibrant red. When coloring I also like to start with the most vibrant color to be able to match the other less vibrant colors to the apperance.
But in the end the order which part I color first doesn't matter that much.

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.

Ookay, lineart is done. Color will have to wait until tomorrow.
And yes, I didn't outline his scar but this time I didn't forget about it! I'll draw it as I color it.
(And is it just me or do the cogwheels look weird? It kind of looks worse in the picture...)

After finishing the other one felt so great, I started another. This time, I'm drawing Kirishima. A current WIP:
Finished it ❤️ I'm going to hang it on the wall somewhere. Turned out amazing.
And I cannot believe I managed to make the paper curl with only colored pencils. (And yes, I used a black marker for the jacket but the paper was curling before already)
Hiii, it's been a long time. A lot going on in real life currently.
I found myself something new to be obsessed with and I am also slowly changing to original art supplies. IDK why, but it's currently more fun to draw on paper than on my tablet.
I doubt that I'll ever start posting frequently.
A little WIP:
And here also the reference, if you want to see:
Update: after some procastination, I finally managed to do the lineart and yeah, the hand still looks to me a little whonky. But this is the biggest thing I've ever drawn except ugly drawings in school 😀
I'm still thinking about if I should color it or go for a more comic like style. But I love that piece already ❤️

You know, I have lately finished my first playthrough through Undertale Yellow... I cried. And since then, I had this idea for a cool drawing in my head but I got sidetracked.
Here, have a Starlo:
Just be careful that he doesn't shoot you 🙂
I'm currently having same character syndrome, wooooo!
Or maybe it's a lack of inspiration.
But at least I got back to drawing and liking my current style again.
