character design & ref details commissioned by my friend Arin of his Superb Owl ✨ And also probably the biggest version of any refsheet I think I've ever done actually...
got fired via a text from my boss who i’ve never digitally communicated with and because it was an unknown number sending a mysterious link with no context (turned out to be security camera footage of me taking 1 can of cheap beer) i assumed it was spam and my immediate response was
When a bunch of ppl start directly reblogging a comment you made where you weren't the OP & you just know somebody left a really annoying comment later on in the reblog chain
smthn else i was doodling at lunchbreak was more planes and i was borrowing the green dot YT channel livery for practice. not a fan of either of the sketches though so i dont think i'll finish them, it was more for practice and fucking around on my break
anyway i looove the ipad for drawing. i had an older samsung but i wasn't a fan of drawing on it bc its quite heavy in comparison to the ipad, the pen is very thin and therefore kinda stresses out your hand to use (the spen i think its called?) and, minor (major) gripe was that the samsung was very weird about touch gestures compared to the pen. ipad is fun tho. i grabbed it second hand recently from a local electronics shop for a bargain and managed to get a secondhand pencil with it. it's still a bit thin of a pen to draw with so i'm thinking i might get? one of those rubber grips you can slide over so i dont get cramps.
Composition I think in general... Once I've gotten a sketch down I can work away no problem, but making myself actually sketch an idea is Soooo annoying. I need to be less strict with them to get ideas out but you know how it goes.
After that, probably anatomy. When I'm on holiday this year I wanna sit down and devote some time to gesture drawing and studies.
MMM varies. I actually tend to listen to podcasts or watch youtube videos whilst I draw at the minute, and I'll often put on long form let's plays of games that I'd never play myself but are curious about atm. Most recently I was watching Punchy's Dead Rising 2: Off the record playthrough
✨ How often do you draw?
Everyday near enough, which is easier since I got an ipad so i could take it to work to doodle on my lunch breaks. I've been meaning to get back into my dailyplanes if life could stop throwing me curveballs lol
i like Minimal Layers when drawing as much as possible, so if i'm painting it's like... 2-3 layers max. I use more when doing lineart or cel shading though, for the sake of clipping masks for convenience, but I prefer to merge things whenever possible.
🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?
usually my OCs and fursonas!! they're just so easy to draw and make myself feel good when drawing ngl
Consistent, sometimes! I don't get a lot of time for drawing practice most days, so my "style" varies. Wildly... and I don't think it's a bad thing always, I don't commonly offer commissions since I'd rather keep this a hobby than a fulltime job.
But there's also a lot of times I kinda wish I was better at recreating things I've done before. I often try lots of new things when I'm drawing and then I forget how I did them lol
idk who tf else here watches hellgate osprey Miss Iris BUT we might be breaking the Louis The Two Timing Husband Curse this year‼️‼️‼️‼️ she got a new man actually bringing her a fish today and she isn't kicking him out of the nest
