#pastelartchallenge on twitter from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf2Nsbh12Mo&t=1s

Didn’t do the first one cuz I recognized who it was nearly right away and didn’t feel like doing a from memory challenge lolol

The second one was really fun to follow along with, I based her crop top off a vampire squid cuz I thought that’d be cute. Also I discovered octopus have a sideways eyes! So I put something like that on the bows and in her eyes. I made her hair two twintails cuz they mention the hair has a bow “kinda like Miku” and twintails is what I got from that lolol. I also made the top of the ponytail into that round up-do cuz it kinda looks like the bulbous part of an octopus head.

I think she turned out really really cute!! I hope you like it!!

#pastelartchallenge #I dunno what else to tag this lmfao #haven't been the most satisfied with the way I draw faces recently #but I feel like this one turned out really cute!! Not quite as expressive as I want #but I'm working on it lolol #art rant incoming #I wanna add more stylization #but with all the more simplified styles that I really like #I realized in my very professional studies of their work #that part of their stylization is to really downplay certain facial features or even get rid of them entirely #the most expressive pieces especially #cuz if you get rid of certain features or make them smaller #you can exaggerate the other features without the face feeling cramped #Was referencing a specific artist whose art is just so expressive #and I tried applying what I saw to my own work but it didn't #well #work #lol #and I came to realize that what I liked so much were the expressive mouths they had #but to get these expressive mouths #this artist drew really small noses or none at all #so the mouth could be all over the place without looking cramped #A lot of stylization seems to be like #you have this much space #the face #and you have this many features to choose from #and a lot of other people will start losing features and amplifying others for their purposes #but I'm over here like refusing to let go of a single feature in my grubbie little hands #34 #ezil art
