Lucys Art Log - Blog Posts

(Plz bare with me bc Japanese is obviously not a language I understand or have studied so if I get something wrong, plz let me know.)

(I also forgot to do the ‘see results’ answer yet again.)

It is with great pleasure that I reveal to all of you…

:+: Crochet Akutagawa :+:

After a full day of crocheting (which is waaay less time then I expected) I have completed my own version of a crochet Akutagawa.

I made him from cotton, which is my usual yarn medium. I used a basic doll base and tweaked it to my preference, then made him his frilled undershirt, coat and cravat.

I must say, the hair was the hardest part of this project and I’m still not completely happy with the outcome. By the way, there’s no wire at all! He doesn’t free stand, unfortunately, but I love how the ties of his coat stick up! (And ofc I crocheted a little Rashomon as well.)

I want to pluck you art off the page and put it in my pocket

:+: Thank You :+:

I also would like to put tiny Ryu in my pocket- oh wait. That’s not what you were talking about…. Never mind….

I give you… Akutagawa as Ashitaka!! (A continuation.)

I tried that scanning thing again and it actually isn’t too bad. (besides the fact that it took me nearly 30 minutes to scan bc of the high dpi lol)

(And yes, I basically just looked up a bunch of photos of Ashitaka and drew Akutagawa in his place, but the poses are iconic!!!! I typically try to draw my own poses as much as possible, but this was a must! I assure you that I did not trace in the slightest.)

:+: Here you are @fyodorsushankaaa :+:

Sorry it’s super late lol I was rereading one of my Wan! Volumes and came across the dance chapter. I couldn’t resist drawing Kunikida in that ridiculous pose!

I also love giving his ponytail some extra :+: life :+: it’s just so tempting!

(It’s kind of a short list, but that’s because I study names from different countries and these are the only categories I know lol)

(THIS JUST IN:

I don’t think it’s called reverse dapples, guys… 👉👈 ))

Here is one more sketch of Knight Akutagawa before I go insane and forget to draw anything else!

(I’m actually very proud of this one.)

ALRIGHT, here are two results of the different polls I posted. And guess what. I decided, the heck with the poll about coats, and went with this.

I give you, Akutagawa as a knight riding a horse!

(Btw thanks @insufferablewhore )

I’m in love with your little Sweden riding a horse! Any chance you could draw Denmark too? That cheeky troublemaker!

:+: Finished :+:

His hair was kinda hard tbh. I was actually thinking about some how turning some of my sketches into stickers, but I suck when it comes to using a pen for drawing.

Also, I’m glad everyone seems to be liking my drawings of characters riding horses. I used to be even worse then I am now with drawing people on horses, but hopefully I can get better!

What if Akutagawa was like Ashitaka, but he rode a horse instead of a red elk?? Just me?? Ok I’ll shut up now….

Horses are everything! I love your drawings 🥰

:+: Thank you :+:

I love horses a great deal! They are my passion to draw. I’m happy so many people like my sketches!

Here is your Sweden riding a Swedish coldblooded horse (or some kind of Swedish draft). @somekawaminpuddle

Hope you like it!!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

(As always, Tumblr has run my photo through a washing machine with a couple extra rinse cycles, so you might wanna click on it for better quality.)

(I’m doing western types, nothing asian bc they are super small and like ponies lol)

The breeds I’ve chosen are supposed to be a bit more medieval like and historically accurate.

Btw, plz don’t just pick the Friesian because they’re black. A black horse would probably suit Aku better, but just remember that other breeds can also be black lol

(Btw ignore the fact that Adalusian and Iberian horse is basically the same thing. Idk what I was thinking.)

i see you are a fellow twilight princess lover! how about some midna? (imp version or twili version)

:+: Here she is :+:

I adore her imp form so much! But, her helmet is really hard to draw. I couldn’t imagine having to draw it in the detail they do for the manga.

Also, glad to see another Twilight Princess fan!!! Definitely my favourite Zelda. (I actually have the entire manga series now and that’s what I used for reference.)

(Btw, because Tumblr likes to degrade my photos massively, you might wanna click for better quality.)

If requests are still open, I’d love to see Winry!

You’re in luck! Here’s a quick sketch.

:+: Hope you like it :+:

Hii I saw you in the FMA community, wanted to ask if you'd like to draw Wrath from FMA 03 (or CoS, up to you)? (No pressure ofc, just me being silly here :) )

Well, I tried. He’s a tricky one to draw, but I gotta admit he’s kinda cute. I never watched the 03 anime (I only read the manga), so I’m assuming there’s a reason he looks so much like Ed.

(Click for better quality)

Hi! I saw your post about taking requests for characters. I'd love to see Riza Hawkeye please if you feel like it! Thanks for being willing to take requests, and I hope you enjoy drawing!

:+: Here she is :+:

FUN FACT: back when I was more active on Instagram, I used to draw models in ww2 uniforms a lot. I have a large repertoire of different poses and lots of photos of ww2 uniforms from different countries.

I used to draw lots of poses with different guns too! (My favourites to draw were Russian especially.)

I might post some of them here if people are interested.

(Btw, it’s no problem! I enjoy challenging myself to take your requests!)

I cannot take this dude seriously enough to draw him properly. Also:

I found a funny photo on the internets (bc u can find anything there if you look hard enough) and just had to draw Nikolai and Karl like this.

Enjoy, @insufferablewhore !!

Heyyy! Jumping in from the community;)

Since Ed was already requested, how about Al (armour/human up to you)? Maybe with cats?:D

No pressure, tho!:3

Ok, I have become obsessed with this pose. I wanted to draw Al as a kid cuz he’s adorable.

I actually hate cats with a burning passion, but they’re fun to draw like this.

Hope you like it! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Hi hi! Can I see an edward Elric doodle? :3 I came from the community post hahaha :)

:+: Here you go :+:

I used to love sketching Ed making silly faces, but it’s been a while.

When you draw a certain character a lot, you tend to eventually be able to sketch them up without reference. Such was the case with Edward once upon a time. Unfortunately, I haven’t remembered to draw him as much anymore.

Hope it’s to your liking! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Request: Hare (Tales from Earthsea) in tears of sorrow

So, uh, I can explain…

I SUCK at drawing characters crying, so I’m hoping you’ll accept this really crappy character sketch of Hare instead!

(Btw I have not watched Earthsea yet but it’s on the list. I just know who Hare is because I watched Nausicaa and he looks a lot like Kurotowa.)

:+: Request a character :+:

Hello everyone! I am doing a Request a Character thing to give myself a bit of a challenge. My ask box is always open to requests, but I wanted to invite anyone who sees this to feel free to request a specific character from any of the following fandoms I’m in.

-Bungo Stray Dogs

-Hetalia

-Fullmetal Alchemist

-Zelda

-Studio Ghibli

:+: Request guidelines :+:

-Absolutely no nsfw asks.

-I do NOT draw ships. (Not even zelink!!)

-Depending on how many asks I receive, I may not get to yours in a very timely manner. I haven’t forgotten you! If your ask is a bit much for me, I will straight up tell you so you aren’t wondering wether I got it or not. (I am still very limited in what I can do, so please keep that in mind.)

Thank you!

I tried sketching Prince Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. I did a much better job with the head studies (the only thing I can do well other then horses.)

Yakul looks more like a horse tbh. The back legs look good, but those front ones… ick…

Anyway, I had fun with these. It was a little hard to try replicating the Ghibli style, but it was a good exercise. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

So…. I may have drawn Chopin as a manga character once upon a time…

@chopinski-official

Did I nail it, or…?

I’m really starting to enjoy sketching up whole sheets of horses.

:+: Happy 32nd of March, everyone! :+:

These pieces took me hours to draw. I am very proud if them. I hope that you all can enjoy them.

(This is a joke, fyi. I’m not really that stupid. Maybe a little… it’s actually April fools.)

C,,, CAN YOU DRAW YUAN FROM BSD PLEASE,,,,,

:+: As requested :+:

I completely forgot she existed tbh… and I also forgot how awesome her hair is!!!

I realized that I suck at whole body poses so I decided to revert back to my go to skill when all is lost and drew a few face profiles, along with this poorly attempted full body sketch. I think it’s safe to say that I enjoy drawing her face lol (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Also, my pencil decided to be a pill and kept causing me to draw thicker lines then intended. (I’m telling you, that thing has a mind of it’s own!)

Thanks for the reference pics btw ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Hiiii!! I just wanted to say I love your art! It has a lot of personality and bright passion. I'm also a horse enthusiast who draws sometimes and a hetalia fan, so it was a good coincidence to find your blog on my feed.

What's your favorite horse breed?? Do you have any sketches of it? It would be good to see.

:]

Thank you so much! I am always thrilled to hear how much people seem to like my art. It’s very much appreciated!

I actually have a few favourite horse breeds. Before, my dream horse was a Morgan/Canadian cross, however now I would much rather have a team of beautiful Norikers.

I would say my favourite horse breeds are, the Noriker:

The American Saddlebred:

And the Morgan. I don’t have any sketches of a Morgan at the moment. Since they tend to have many different coat colors, I guess you could say the dappled grey Saddlebred could also be a Morgan or Morgan cross.

A horse I would very much love to have would be a Morgan Noriker cross. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

:+: Another random sketch :+:

I haven’t yet clarified who this character is. I think I might introduce her to this blog soon. She is a work in progress and so is the horse she rides.

Here is an OC swap I did for @bloominghydrangeas25

I had lots of fun sketching these up! The OC is very pretty and I found her hair my favourite part to draw.
