Hey I just wanted to ask if you could draw some shuichi and kaede or kokichi and himiko but it’s totally cool if you don’t ship and don’t wanna draw them I understand

Friend you sent this to the wrong blog, this is my askblog for specifically saiouma/nm

If you want to request something send it to my art blog @lilis-doodle-dome instead!

SHUICHI'S ASS

(Non canon)

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Kokichi’s got a point though…was there something distracting Kaede?

Wuh oh, how much does kaede know?

Also I do not know how to draw back pockets, I’m sorry

New icon for my askblog, c,, colors go brrrr-

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Subtly reminding people this is an askblog, I don’t plan anything until I see responses your asks can still influence things!

Also sorry for the wait, I was moving into college- hopefully this being longer makes up for it?

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Just binge read from the beginning and the art style glow up????????? We live for it

It’s true, I go back sometimes for continuity reasons and physically cringe at the old art lmao

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Profile drawings are the worst

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

If you scroll back through the last uploads since Kokichi showed up in Shuichi’s room, you’ll notice Shuichi, through multiple means, avoids answering anything Kokichi asks-

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

I’ll normally (try) to post once a week! Posting twice because this is basically pt.2 to the previous upload (it gives some context)

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

I know this is short and I haven’t updated in awhile. If I want to continue updating (which I do) I’ll need to keep them shorter though, otherwise I get burnt out fast-

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

how does your art keeping getting cuter everytime you post? seriously good work my dude, keep it up 💖

Thank you- hh

WHAT PART OF THAT WAS STEALTHY?! KOKICHI SERIOUSLY?????

(Trying a weekly upload schedule!)

💜- Stealthy…?

💜- Why would I-

💙- I’M SORRY!

💙- *muffled screaming*

💙- Ughh, I keep fucking up,, I just want to fix things, but ha at this rate-

💜- How dare you ignore when the leader is speaking to you.

💙- You’re right, I’m- Wait

💙- Why *are* you here?

💜- Cause we’re roommates duh!

💙- HUH?!

💙- Oh. You’re lying.

💜- Rude!

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Kokichi choose your words wisely. If you say the wrong thing, both you and Shuichi are gonna end up dead. You want to keep discussing what he knows? Be stealthy about it. From what we've scene he's being threatened to keep quiet.

💜: Wow! So this is Saihara-chan’s room, I didn’t know that!

💜: Justtt kidding! Of course I know who my roommate id. What kinda idiot wouldn’t. Oh and one more thing-

💜- Be careful who you threaten.

💜- Kay~

💙- Ouma-kun?!

💜- Hmm?

💙- Are you- Are you okay?

💙- Are you hurt? Or in danger?? Do you need somewhere to hide-

💙- Please, if you-

Haha hi-

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

I’m so unbelievably good at keeping a schedule :/

Transcript:

🍎- I was told to pass on this message “Keep looking for the truth, we’ll be watching.”

🍎- (under breath) A bit of an odd encouragement…

💙- Does she know, I can’t trust her. They’re watching

💙- (thinking) Need to go. Need to go. Need to goNeedtogo

💙- Th-ank you,,

- Later in Shuichi’s dorm-

💙- It’s good I get a room alone. I can come here to get my thoughts together

💙- It shouldn’t be an issue writing everything down, if I hide it really well, right? It’s not exactly easy keeping track of three lives,,,

!SLAM!

💙- $#!&!! I’m dead we’re dead, they’re gonna kill us-

💜- Wow! Not only do I now have to room with some loser, said loser is also a mega emo who lives in the dark! Lucky me.

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

I’m back! And hopefully I can maintain a posting schedule of at least once a week!

Here’s the long awaited continuation though! Can you figure out where this might be going?

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

-Rbing this here so I can give some info-

So I *am* back from my trip, but unfortunately I think this blog is going to have to go on hiatus for a while longer.

My Dad’s in the hospital and I just don’t have the mental strength to create full comics atm. I’ll still produce art pieces and I guess reblog them here so there’s some activity, but I just can’t do the regular comic rn!

Thanks everyone for your patience, I hope to get over this soon!

Happy late Birthday Kokichi!!

Redraw of the same piece from last year!

[ask-badlydrawn-saiouma]

Okay, unrrlated to the ask, but oml the way you draw shuichi is so cute but also hot or pretty??????- i just- you make me simp more for him more than i already do- and you make ouma look so childishly adorable- do you have any drawing tips?

Sorry for making you wait so long for this, I actually needed to make the tips skndnd

But also thank you so much!! ^w^

First I just did the basic shapes I do for Kokichi and Shuichi, the bottom is mostly what you see in the comic cause I’m too lazy to clean them up-

I draw them both chibi, kinda, Kokichi is far more obvious with the big round cheeks, but shuichi still has a more rounded chin and his cheeks do stick out, just not as much.

This does sometimes create the complication that the heads can appear to be different sizes, but I can just make them bigger or smaller with the transform tool.

I also give both of them very different eye shapes and eyebrows, kokichi being big and round and shuichi being thin and sharp! Not much more to say here besides that I tend to over exaggerate Shuichi’s eyelashes a lot- I just think it looks better,,

For their bodies I tend not to draw Kokichi’s neck, I just draw his scarf then add a line where I think a bit of neck might be visible. How I do the lines on his scarf changes every time so don’t stress too much on that jdjdjs-

For Shuichi however I draw an extra long neck, which I cut off in the middle for his collar, I also start his shoulders above where the neck ends it makes him look like he’s tensing. Which is good cause poor boy has so much anxiety,,,

Here’s the cleaned up version of the sketches, so you can kinda see how I draw their hair, I generally make Shuichi’s hair longer than it is in the game, although I’m trying to cut back on that a bit.

Besides the front hair, which I always do the same, the rest of kokichi’s hair is up to fate and whatever looks good when I draw a bunch of strands, again don’t stress too much over that.

I also added a few don’ts, obviously some styles can allow you to bend these rules, but they’re good points of reference that can help anatomy a bit for any character!

I’ll basically rewrite the tips I put on the drawing down here:

First off, make sure if you do a 3/4 view or side profile, that you give your characters a jaw on the side facing you, otherwise it looks really weird and flat.

Second, and this is only important if you draw in a style where the cheek sticks out, draw your face lines *over* the dip where the cheek sticks out, otherwise when you try to draw eyes they’ll end up being warped by the shape of the face and it’ll look wrong not matter how much you play with the positioning (I know this from personal experience)

Otherwise it’s just good to know where the face is generally located on the head, that’s why I draw the ear, even if it just ends up being covered by hair, because even on real faces, most of the time, the bottom of the nose is in line with the bottom of the ear and the eyebrows in a neutral position lay somewhere near in line with the tops of your ears! So you can basically just draw you face lines from the top and bottom of the ear and have a pretty good general placement for your face!

Finally! Necks are thicker than you think they are (although many styles give characters thin necks and it normally works so it’s fine to break that rule) and also stick out from the general area of where your ear is, so unless you’re drawing a full frontal view, make sure your neck isn’t too far forward under the chin, normally it’s pretty obvious if it’s not placed correctly, but now you know where to put it if it doesn’t look right!

Thanks again, especially if you spent time reading this,,, but do keep in mind I’m not a professional or trained in any way, so my advice is what works for me and might not be what fits you! Don’t feel pressured to do any of the things I’ve said here!
