ALMOST DONE WITH REFS OMG

[peachyskyes]

What is your process when jt comes to making reference sheets especially for artfight? :D

OMG FIRST ASK!!!

Okay so usually I start by just getting the main character part of the ref done - I actually sketch and line all of my ocs a one canvas (I work on procreate btw) and then insert my drawing to a new canvas, and then I crop it to whatever size I want (for me, I like 1352x1455 px)

Then I’ll color and shade, making sure to pay extra attention to key details another artist might look at - eyes, hair, face shape, build. And since all of my ocs wear school uniforms, I try to customize them to each person.

Next is the intermediating part - the overall layout of everything. For some characters, I’ll just look up “no background linesd paper” and then copy and paste.

But the real question is what is your oc like? Do they have a devoted instagram acount?(if so, then copy and instagram format) do they take pretty notes?(try to emulate that then!)Do they have sloppy handwriting? Do they scrapbook? Code? Get creative with your base and writing, think of what your oc would do!

I always include birthday,fav color, mbti test results (take it and think like ur oc idk), and even tho I don’t belive in it, astrology sign is always cool to include. Pronouns, sexuality, and nationality are always there too

You might also notice how in the back there are flowers - I’ll look up flower meanings and draw some I think align with my ocs personality. You don’t even have to draw particularly fancy - just block in similar shapes with color and then apply some Gaussian blur.

Always include height!!

I have Pinterest boards with look alikes,outfits, aesthetics, features, etc. I always love to add some model references from my PINTREST board because my style often oversimplifies faces sometimes.

Another nuance I add is “characters who match their freak” - I love to add some similar characters from media because oftentimes, that’s the easiest way for another artist to get an easy scope of your ocs personality.

Finally, fill up empty space with stickers or things your ocs have. Give them a phone with their playlist open. Or a page of their note/sketch book. It’s all up to you! You can also draw alternate styles or “zoom in” on miniscule features like eyes and nails. And when in doubt, doodle!

Overall, just get creative! Think how they would think! Draw what they have, or what they like! Make your character seem like a person!

Sorry for the big yap btw ;3

Update: despite being able to hit one high note, I'm still a mezzo 🙃

Guys there is nothing more ego- boosting than being a high classical soprano in a small-ranged theatre club. I’m fully aware my ego has been inflated, but godamn seeing everybody gasp when I hit high classical notes with clear vibrato made me (and still makes me) feel like an absolute god.
