ONWARD!

Yes. I came back with onward doodles. I had gotten so distracted watching Pixar movies and reviews. Onward. Oh my god. I was such a huge hater of this movie when it came out. Now I love it rewatching it. I'm late to this fandom and it is dying

Onward (2020), dir. Dan Scanlon

[jakedrawsinlife]

I rewatched onward and this came to me in a vision

[jakedrawsinlife]

Just doing an art practice for a moment cuz I couldn't think of anything to work on my Onward AU and OCs.

It was really satisfying to draw them when they were wet and I kinda learned new techniques in shading, lighting, etc.

I think I really need to practice in drawing Barley often cuz I kinda feel like I drew his face shape incorrectly.

But I'm still happy on how it looked :>

[jakedrawsinlife]

🪄💙ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IAN LIGHTFOOT💙🪄

These are just my personal HCs. This is a huge list or rather my personal wiki all about Ian. This list will have five different categories, the basics (birthday/sexuality etc), Preferences (What he likes and doesn’t like), facts (short random facts about him.), relationships (information about his relationship with friends and family), and history (things that happened to him in his childhood).

💙Basics💙

He was born on the 16th of September 2004

He is pansexual 🩷💛💙

He is neurodivergent just in a different way than his brother

He is an introvert

Dream job

As a kid he wanted to become an astronaut but now he wants to become an astronomer. He is fascinated by space and wants to try and discover more about it!

Hobbies

Ian is actually a nerd who enjoys learning new things and he tends to enjoy schoolwork. (Although he hates anything physical like gym class). He likes to spend his time reading, sometimes books about things he is interested in learning more about and other times he enjoys superhero comics. He actually does enjoy RPG video games, especially the older ones with a more pixelated style. He isn’t usually a fan of games that require other players but on rare occasions he might give it a try…only if he has to in order to proceed a game though. He also enjoys drawing, usually random scribbles in his notebook. He is HUGE on journaling as well. He already has many diaries and journals which he keeps stored in a safe place where no one can find them. He makes sure to write daily to try and record anything he learns. A part of him wants to try new things but the other part wants to stay in his comfort zone.

Talents

Ian is REALLY good at math! (As implied in the movie). He has amazing attention to detail and is actually good at cleaning things and tidying things up, he is also great at keeping things organised. He has an insanely good memory and is able to focus well enough on his school work, because of this he gets very good grades. Ian is also really good with computers and technology, unlike Barley.

Fears

Pretty much anything that could harm him! Bugs, snakes, cars, germs, potential serial killers, you name it! He especially hates giant spiders though. He also has a fear of failure, which is why he tends to push himself hard when it comes to schoolwork.

🥰Preferences😒

Loved food/drinks

Ian has a pretty healthy diet overall, but he can’t resist a good cake and he is a big lover of coffee. His diet is high in fruit. He isn’t a vegetarian but he seems to prefer vegetables over meat. He is a small eater and doesn’t eat very big meals. He does enjoying eating but he isn’t as big of a foodie as his mother and Barley.

He is the type who likes to make sure his diet is balanced and healthy! He will eat junk food from time to time, usually if it’s prompted by Barley. He gets guilty easily though if he has eaten a lot of unhealthy stuff.

His favourites include: coffee, apples, cake especially if it has some fruit in it or is fruity flavoured, tiramisu, yogurt, fruit salad.

Dislikes food/drinks

He prefers to avoid anything that is too greasy and filling. There isn’t really anything he really dislikes though as he isn’t that picky. Ian has a sensitive tummy as well which adds to why he makes sure not to overeat or eat anything that is too indulging.

Music

Ian actually likes a lot of rock and grunge, but actual metal isn’t really his thing. He has been guilty of liking a few pop songs but it isn’t his main thing. He likes to listen to relaxing music as well and has a collection of video game albums on his phone. Video game soundtracks make him feel relaxed and nostalgic.

As for music he doesn’t like he isn’t a huge fan of things that are too loud or intense. He has grown used to hearing heavy metal because of his brother but he isn’t super big on things like dubstep.

Movies/shows

He adores sci-fi and science fiction! He would be a huge fan of Star Wars and X files! He enjoys some mystery. He also watches a lot of documentaries.

He doesn’t like horror at all and hates when things get a bit too gory. He can handle a little bit of blood but not much more than that. He also gets very uncomfortable when something NSFW happens in a movie or show, especially if he is watching it with his family! Game of Thrones can be awkward for him sometimes because of that and he gets so uncomfortable he has to try and look away or even make an excuse to leave and hide til it’s over.

Books

He actually loves comic book, especially about superheroes and sci-fi. He also reads some manga if it has similar genres. He reads a lot of books he can learn from as well.

Style/clothes/furnishing

Ian has a plain style to him with a very very small touch of cottage core. He likes to wear casual clothes that don’t allow him to stand out too much. He prefers warm colours like red, orange and yellow.

As for furniture and decor he likes things cozy yet bordering on the geeky side…as long as it’s not too much. He loves a good old bookshelf where he can stack all his books and comics alphabetically! Things also have to be neat and tidy as he struggles to think straight if everything is messy around him. He likes to leave little notes everywhere like on his board. To do lists, reminders, etc. He is also a sucker for stationary things! He has a big collection of pens, pencils, erasers and tape!

As for styles he dislikes he isn’t a big fan of anything too edgy, he wouldn’t have a skull or gothic decor in his room for example. Like his brother though, he isn’t a fan of modern decor and architecture either.

Activities

As mentioned he loves to keep his diaries up to date. He plays video games alone in his room and really enjoys his solitude. He HATES doing sports! He isn’t just bad at it but he gets no joy out of it either. He also hates anything that involves him being in the spotlight. He never sings because he feels awkward about it, he won’t even sing if he’s all alone! He also enjoys a bit of photography. He likes to capture happy memories.

📚Facts📚

Ian was scared of the dark for a long time, he didn’t get over it until he was about 12.

Ian can’t stand when his things are moved or touched. He likes EVERYTHING of his to be placed exactly where they are meant to in the exact right way.

He gets paranoid about anyone ever reading through his journals or finding out any of his embarrassing secrets. Because of this he would sometimes cross out or even rip out pages if he felt extra secretive about them. For example, in one page he may have gone on a rant about homework and his fears of failing it and the end of the page comes off as so whiny it’s actually embarrassing to look back on. He would get rid of those sort of pages.

Ian has a habit of biting his nails, he actually gets a bit embarrassed about it even though everyone insists how it’s a common habit.

When Ian gets super stressed, one of his strategies is to start counting slowly. Sometimes he may count how many objects he sees, such as how many trees or how many buildings.

Ian is super quiet because he is always paranoid if he may say something that comes off as foolish.

Ian can’t handle gore very well at ALL, he can handle a tiny bit of blood but any much more than that can make him feel nauseous.

Ian will suddenly wake up at 3am and start randomly worrying about things. In some cases if it’s related to homework, he will get up and recheck everything to make sure it’s as good as it can be.

Ian actually likes certain shades of pink, like a pale subtle dusty pink or a pastel pink with a slight reddish hue. He won’t ever admit it though in fear of what others may think.

Ian looks through family photo albums quite frequently. He has made a few photo albums himself. They are pretty much the only books of his making he actually lets others look at such as Laurel, Barley and reluctantly at some stage Colt.

He wanted to get into traditional painting but kept getting frustrated when it doesn’t turn out right. He also isn’t a big fan of the huge mess. After that he stuck with drawing simple doodles in his notebooks.

He has dreams about Wilden often and being able to meet him and spend time with him. He used to wake up feeling upset and wishing it was real but after the events of the movie he wakes up with a bittersweet feeling. Happy knowing he is proud of him and loves him and feeling a sense he is there, but still a bit sad he isn’t there in the flesh with him.

🫂Relationships🫂

Barley

They were close when they were kids but after Ian went through puberty they got a tiny bit more distance for a while. After the events of the movie they are super close again.

When Ian was worried about something when little, he actually used to turn to Barley for advice…which can be hit or miss depending on the situation.

Ian gets annoyed when others touch his stuff but he gets extra annoyed if it’s Barley because of his clumsiness and usually greasy dirty fingers.

Barley was actually the only friend Ian had when he was a kid, Barley did have a few friends though. This made him feel a bit weird for it and added to him wanting to try and make more friends as he got older.

Barley always supported Ian no matter what he does. He is practically his number one cheerleader. Whenever he accomplishes something, even small, Barley gives him a huge pat on the back. It happens so often that Ian forgot about it for a while, he has learned to be much more appreciated of that though.

Ian hasn’t been badly bullied, he was only called weird on occasion from one jerk or another every once in a blue moon. Although Barley definitely did have to deal with much more of that. Barley kept most of it to himself, only explaining things through angry rants. Ian picked up a lot of it when he hears kids whispering about Barley in his school. This made him feel extra embarrassed, especially when other students asked “Hey, isn’t that your brother?”. This added to Ian being nervous about being himself, he did not want to end up like Barley in the sense he would be getting made fun of far more. As he got older he felt a bit selfish for feeling that way instead of checking if Barley was alright or even defending him. In reality or as Barley would often say, he was just a scared kid at the time though and didn’t know what to do and not to worry so much about that.

Laurel

Ian had always been a very well behaved kid, he rarely ever did anything that would get him into trouble. Laurel loves both her boys of course but she is grateful that Ian is like the opposite of Barley in a sense she did not have to worry about him getting into trouble too much.

Ian has always been “mature for his age”. He would tidy up his room without even needing Laurel to mention it!

Laurel usually gives Barley some hard love but with Ian she tends to be very gentle most of the time. This is the case for quite a few reasons. A, Barley wouldn’t listen otherwise and he still doesn’t half the time whilst Ian always obeys anything his mother asks of him without question. And B, Ian is extra sensitive so she tries harder to have a more gentle approach with him.

She wishes she could have been around him more as a kid. Since she was a single mother who had to make money for the family, Ian and Barley had been left at home with a babysitter most of the time. Laurel used to play with Barley but she hardly ever got to bond with Ian when he was little. Sometimes she tries to make up for lost time by trying to spend a bit more time with him and she tends to spoil him a fair bit.

Laurel shared many stories about Wilden, not only so he can at least know his father a little more but as a coping mechanism as well. She even started telling him about Wilden when he was still growing inside her belly, not too long after Wilden had died.

Ian actually looks quite a lot like Wilden when he was younger. Laurel would comment on that from time to time. “You look just like your father when he was your age.”

When Ian gets insecure he would sometimes ask Laurel if Wilden would have loved him or be proud of him. She responds with full confidence that he would absolutely cherish him.

Will update more in a bit, thank you! X3

Bruh, Barley is looking right at us! This feels like a fourth wall break and like he is proudly showing off his brother.

Barley: “This here is Iandore Lightfoot, my awesome little brother AND a super cool powerful wizard!”

[jakedrawsinlife]

Hey there, my twin! 👋🏻❤️

I've been meaning to send you this ask for a while! I know that Onward is your favorite Pixar movie, and it's an absolutely AMAZING film 😍 My second favorite as you know! So, would you like to go on and tell us in detail what are the things that you love most about it? The animation, the characters, the story... Feel free to write an entire essay if you're down for it hehe, you know that I'll read every single word no matter how long or short it is 😁

And of course, take all the time you need 🥰❤️💚

What's up, my twin, nice to see you here again👋💚

Ah, Onward, my beloved. Come to think of it, I'd love to rewatch it with you someday, Zahra (your favorite/my second favorite, Coco, as well!). Buckle up, I'm gonna yap a little bit😊

Well, where do I even begin? Perhaps the characters as they're certainly one of my favorite parts of this movie. I love how none of them is annoying or useless, and there's no actual "bad guy" - like, everyone's motivations and feelings are clear and understandable in their own way.

The Lightfoot brothers, the main character Ian and his big brother Barley, are both really fun, endearing and relatable in their own ways - though for me, Barley especially so😃 Favorite Pixar character for sure. I love how good of a brother he is to Ian throughout the movie, how he is never jealous of his little bro's magic abilities but instead is very proud of him and eager to teach him what he knows. How he loves fun and adventure while not being dumb or completely irresponsible as Ian seems to think of him to some degree at first. Ian is a bit of that classic nerdy and socially awkward teenager trope, but still feels authentic and not one-dimentional. I absolutely love how he sacrifices his main motivation throughout the movie: to meet his father, so that Barley can properly say goodbye🥲

Their mother Laurel is also a great character and I adore how such a mundane thing as working out at home at the beginning of the movie comes back later as something she uses to help her sons in the climactic battle. I love how proactive she is, looking for her boys, finding help and then actually helping them. She's also a very sweet mom to their children, understanding their different personalities and needs, and willing to speak their language.

Corey is mayyyybe borderline annoying but not quite, and she's a fun companion to Laurel at least. Colt Bronco, Laurel's boyfriend, might seem a little uptight and too exasperated with Barley's antics at first, but it's easy to see he's generally a good guy and he thankfully loosens up a bit by the end of the film. As for the dad... it's fascinating how much personality they could give disembodied legs, all things considered. I find his role in the story and the little ways he manages to connect to his sons as, y'know, JUST A PAIR OF LEGS, very unique.

And, well... I always tend to gravitate towards stories about brothers as you know. They're interesting and in most cases touch me really deeply. Barley and Ian's relationship evolves so beautifully in the movie, with Ian coming to understand his brother and his true role in his life🥹 It hits me so hard and genuinely hurts me to hear him call Barely a screwup, but the following scene where he realizes that everything he's wanted to do with his father he's already done with Barley is so darn beautiful🥲❤️ It's always very satisfying to see them hug after Barley spends that short moment with their dad, and perhaps even more so to see them get along so well at the end of the movie🥰

The story itself is also really cool in my opinion. The adventure being based on a D&D-like quest is quite a unique and very fun concept. Admittedly, at first I wasn't sure if I was going to like the premise of them trying to bring back their dead father but only managing to do so with his lower half. However, it actually really worked well! I also love how the ending is somewhat bittersweet when Ian doesn't get to meet their dad after all, and Barley only gets a short moment with him. Also, it's amazing how Barley's van Guinevere is almost a character of its own and how the scene where Barley sacrifices it is somehow sad and hilarious at the same time. And also... I honestly love how the director Dan Scanlon's own life experience is such a big inspiration for the story🥺

Another thing I love is the worldbuilding! A typically medieval fantasy world blended with the modern world we all know today is, I think, a great idea - and quite well executed too. The types of creatures you can see and how some of them have been affected by the technological progress, the magic system, including the way the curse works... I think it all works very well and creates a pretty fun setting for this story😄

The art, animation, music and voice acting are also very good. It was thanks to Chris Pratt's role as Barley that I believed he could do well enough as Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Movie😁 Another protective and caring older brother... who also gets shrunk to a miniature size and his voice becomes cute and comically high-pitched🤔 Hmm...

In any case, I hope this answer satisfies you😌 Love, love, LOVE this movie, and I'm pretty sure I could talk about it even longer🤭 I mean, look, I even own the art book:

Thank you so much for the ask, I had fun answering it😊❤️💚

[jakedrawsinlife]

Just a headcanon art of my OC/Persona, Jake Rubystone. Still thinking of a specific story and situation on how he met Ian and his friends and became part of their group.

I couldn't leave out the sketchy one cuz it looks kinda satisfying after playing around with it. :>

Also, if you're curious about my Onward AU and OCs and want to know about it, feel free to ask me. The ask box is open and I'll answer them as best as I can even if I couldn't respond quickly ^w^

Imagine you’re having a emotional breakdown, and your comfort character listens to you like this:

And then they look at you like this as you’re crying:

And finally, they raise a hand to push your hair behind your ear, scooch in closer and softy say:

“It’s ok. I’m here.”

[jakedrawsinlife]

"Our young squire has become quite the mighty warrior!"

"Hey, cut it out!"

[jakedrawsinlife]

Thank youu💙

Just a random self-comfort doodle of Ian and me to distress and detach myself from college works and adult life issues.

I didn't really feel like posting this at first cuz I didn't have the courage. But seeing others make selfship arts about Ian, I kinda feel like I'm not alone, and I'm very happy about it.

I'm willing to draw more selfship arts in the future if I feel like it, but NOT ANYTHING INAPPROPRIATE RELATED.

Also, I couldn't find the owner of this reference pose. Credits to the owner.
