Drew someone’s character (that turns into a werewolf) from electronic computer game Terarria, without really knowing anything about it. I have since played a bit!
My tiny piece for @qpopshop’s Miniature: Peeping Art Show at Q2 gallery in Little Tokyo! If you have time, you should check it out! They have a ton of really cool artists who did pieces for the show! The show runs until May 21th.
Here’s a little comparison between two methods- I did something like this before; it’s surprisingly fun to create/read people’s comments. If you’ve got a preference or opinions, do tell.
[By the way, the traditional one was edited digitally to darken values that the camera washed out, as well as to scribble an extra line or dozen]
When I draw traditionally I am MUCH more careful with line placement and proportion-setting. Drawing digitally, I would consider myself borderline aggressive with throwing down shapes, colors, and values initially, mainly because it’s a lot easier to erase/alter/undo mistakes. When I blend traditionally, I usually just shade very lightly in gradients or use my finger to smudge (in some circles that’s considered a cardinal sin but, if you’re pretty controlled about it, the results can be quite pleasant). When I blend digitally, I just use the eyedropper tool to rapidly color pick and mush colors together. As a result, you’ll notice that the traditional sketch is a lot lighter and more delicate looking (lots of thin, sharp lines, esp. around the eyes), while the digital drawing has a broader range of values as well as harsher highlights and shadows.
Have some extra sketches, because I like posting asks with pictures.
