notes on how i go about stylizing cats from reference.

ive observed when drawing a cat with extra fat, its easy to lose the form and have it look like a balloon animal. if you keep bony landmarks and silhouette in mind as you caricature this can be avoided. these landmarks are places like joints, the spine, some points of the ribcage, and certain bones in the face.

the joints are where you "break" the silhouette of the figure. these are essential to a strong drawing and selling the volume of your character. interpreting the contrast of straights and curves around the figure will give a visual rhythm and prevent your drawing from appearing stiff and lifeless. some inner descriptive lines in places where muscle, fur, skin and fat are more obvious create a more defined shape that can really add something extra if you find your drawing is appearing too flat.

selling the markings by having them follow the contours of the body will also really help in making sure your drawings come across as volumetric. its easy to slap them on as an afterthought, but copy pasted looking markings can totally ruin the illusion of your characters dimension!

this of course is all relative to your own goals when drawing a piece, if you want your art to be flat and graphic, go for it! i will say it always helps my design sense to understand how things work in a 3d space before i get really abstract with them. the more you can understand your subject the easier it is to find success with the end goal of your piece.

this also geared towards animation. when you can "see" clearly how the character is structured from every level, drawing them in sequential motion becomes just that much easier. thanks for reading!

Saw someone say on twitter „luke experienced subdrop and needed aftercare“ and I haven’t stopped thinking about this video/interview/comment bc I REALLY hope the producers are aware how much their actors are doing for this show and are taking proper care of them (e.g. having competent intimacy coordinators).

Thinking about martyn rats 2 finale from ren's pov cause like

He tells him about his real back story and martyn is only surprised that he has a wife and a kid. No upset over the fact he lied over being a captain and how he ended up on his own on the sea. A bit of surprise that his old captain used to be a cat, but true genuine surprise only when he mentions his wife. Not too long after his liutenant tells him he wants to tell him something but ultimely decides not. And then when they have finally taken the sangria to the sea and they are ready to sail off, his liutenant starts the ship without warning and stays behind only to be never seen again.

I like to think ren thought the reason his dear liutenant did this is that he was in love with him and after he mentioned how he wanted to get his wife back, he couldn't bring himself to come along.

wip land + misc sketches to fill the gaps

it's kind of embarrassing seeing the illustration bases laid out like this how much i like rehashing explored mirror/blackwhite/identity motifs lMAO... there's a few more wips that would make the whole thing more incriminating but didn't make it in here bc of format or just space...

that said i think my priority is going to be the violin one because i love a bowed instrument and also i love hands
