Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi hi and welcome to my Sketchbook.

I'll be posting up WIP shots of what I'm working on - a lot of that lately will be for my art shop which will be default anime style but I'm determined to get some realistic practice in >_<)@

Critiques are welcome here, even if it's on finished pieces as I can try to avoid making the same mistakes next time around.

Most recent thing I did today was a slot for my art shop so here's the progress shots I took.









My most recent attempt at doing something realistic was.. back in April. This was done with no photo reference (bad, I know, I really really need to get over my knee jerk reaction of 'working from images is boring')



As you can see, I have issues with noses and then keeping the face all in line (did not help I suppose that I put it on a slight tilt).

I think the links were corrupted somewhere down the line. I can't see them at all, just those little cop emoji's.

Ah! Bingo!

Okay this is in a spoiler cause it has 48 character buttons I made for the joint art shop I'm in.

Not happy with this because the pose seems so boring crying I'm probably gonna redo this one. Need to get over this knee jerk reaction of having to show the full outfit of a character when I draw them in a full body pose.

I still kinda wanna see the first one finished heh.

T^T I dun have the heart to do it - it was just so plaaaaaaaaain.

Practising Realism using this as a reference.



Still more to do on it but I gotta sleep crying
