☁️ sketch to final ☁️

forcing myself to go on a mini drawing break until at least after the new year to not stress myself about completing anything big-ish. I'm actually just kind of...chill-doodling at the moment with a new digital sketchbook mockup i downloaded the other day and it's been quite nice to do some silly mindless scribbles 🥰

not sure when i'll have something new to show again, but I quite liked the process of this particular drawing so I thought I'd share the stages of it 💕

my biggest drawing "secrets" are that my sketch layer is part of the final lineart (set to a 'color burn' blending mode and maybe 30-40% opacity) and all my colors are actually just flat colors that's been jazzed up with airbrush gradients, minimal highlights, and lots of noise texture lmao. also this one app has been super handy lately~ (under cut)

the Magic Poser app has honestly been kind of a time (and life) saver these last couple of months for creating 3D figure mockups to get some pose, proportions, and angle references~

It's not perfect by any means; it's one of those things where I think if it was to be taken as a 1:1 reference, the final piece would look a bit odd?? It's stuff like the odd bend around the joints, some facial structures/placements, the overly exaggerated musculature, as well as needing to adjust some of the proportions (depending on the art style) and giving the otherwise very "floaty" and weightless-looking reference models some gravity and squish to them 😌

It's definitely still helped to have basic anatomy knowledge to be able to translate what the 3D models show into something that feels more natural in my style, but this app has helped SO much to shorten the time it takes to figure out stuff like basic skeletal placement and perspective 🤌

Cow vs sketch !

Box turtle and yellow-shafted flicker!

These pins weren't finalized due to manufacturing errors, but I'm very proud of the designs themselves and wanted to share before the year is up. 😄 Perhaps more interesting to me is the turtle's design revision (2nd image here). Something was bugging me about it all these years, so I narrowed it down and tried to make it read as a box turtle proper. The beak was such a simple change, but I think it fixed so much!

Bonus absolute napkin-quality concepts included since the image formatting on tumbles was driving me batty, lol

My contest submission for the They Draw gallery "Southwest Vibes". The concept was based on the Lenormand card "home".

oc drop number one!!

you haven't seen taivas' pretty face in a while, so I thought I'd share this rendering practice I did! this was one of the rare times I coloured my sketch before doing the line art :>

because of that lucky circumstance, you practically get to see the first conception and the finished piece this time around! I might post just a close up of all of their eyes, since I put extra effort into rendering them!!

have a fabulous next 24 hours and write a friend or family member how much you care for them! they deserve it c:

Process photos for the previous illustration. My fatal flaw is that I almost always do this on one layer <3

[sethy-sloth]

I have a soft spot for glow-y things, so I got inspired by the skitter squids swimming under my boat in DST.

I also wanted to try out a new-ish technique for digital painting

Creation Trio - Sketch vs Final

I was going through my files and found some sketches I made for Creation Trio so I made a little video!

I usually do a digital mock up of my traditional pieces and for a complex one like this figuring out the different elements and how to fit three detailed characters in one image was very important!

Find me and my art elsewhere!
