Donate to Help Gaza Families Secure Essential Needs, organized by Ahmad W

Dear Esteemed Donors, My name is Ahmad , and I am a 14-year-old resident of Khan Yo… Ahmad W needs your support for Help Gaza Families Secu

found a bunch more OCs i made when I was 9 these are obv more fleshed out more detailed but still you can see the colours and patterns go crazy

slightly learned to blend markers so thats why there's so many gradients/stripes, finally at this point realised I can have an area that isn't one colour or just a pattern

some of these have... interesting fashion

i have ZERO clue whats going on with 4 arms lady actually crazy design I was just slapping all my gel pen colours on there

dog girl is cute tho

had to research sm for pronghorn cheetah girl I was such a nerd (still am tbh) I watched wild kratts and instantly became obsessed with pronghorns I wrote they were my favourite animal and everything

still cant draw animals but i tried

sort of Part 2... I havent gotten any art as racist as the last one, but there's certainly a lot of "yeah that's not quite right" examples

I literally dare ANYONE to draw his eye shape correctly and NOT give him monolids (although that's slightly more understandable since his double eyelid isn't very visible, just like mine) or just change his eye shape entirely

PS if you wanna attack me during artfight in July... (I always revenge back) you do NOT have to draw my east asian characters if you don't have the skill to do so, I have plenty of other characters!

again dont attack any of these artists I really loved their pieces even if it didn't look like jayden... although it def makes me a bit sad to see it so prevalent, especially since artfight is basically known for being good with diversity and having lots of diverse characters

one day... I will be able to make a giddy post about how accurately someone drew jayden, one day...

who wants to do OC art trades?? DM me anytime!! bruh his name is puma guy cuz I still don't have any name ideas for him

yes its been open this whole time but I have some free time coming up and I want to draw! could've just reblogged this but uh idk

i've edited this ref so much it's not funny I hate the curse of having a super crisp imagination in my head cuz if something is wrong by one pixel and puma guy doesn't look EXACTLY how I envision him then I'll hack up the ref and completely restructure it so it matches as closely as possible with what I see in my head

also i gotta do more art trades because of how much I've changed my ref tbh I can't have ppl draw my OC based on a wrong ref I feel bad

sigh the shading pattern on my ref is SO messed up like what even is that

me when a man with long eyelashes and stubble

also i LOVE ALL YOUR GUYS OCS!!! everyone has such cool characters omg!!! i love reading OC lore its so fun

me when the ibuprofen hits

Hi, so I wanted to know what could I improve based on this drawing, you're free to do a paintover. Thanks! ^^

so first off i really like the colours I see a lot of artists use grey for shading because they don't understand how light and shadow work but you're using saturated colours which is great!!

although I like the colours for the shading, my biggest critique would have to be the shading itself, and especially its placement and how it's blended so much. there's also not much depth with the shading since one colour is used to shade whole parts, when in reality you need to use a big range of colours from only very slightly darker than the base colour all the way to even a colour close to black.

the kitten also looks a bit off with its anatomy, but I wont critique the kitten that much because... i cant draw animals either 😭.

the way her hands are positioned around the kitten look very separated from the kitten, it almost looks like she's praying and the kitten was just copy pasted on. her hands should be tilted towards the camera more to show that the cat is actually being held in her hands.

there's also some slight anatomy issues with rei like a lumpy head and uneven breasts. also the right arm is longer and bigger than the left, and her waist seems to end very low. make sure to draw the underlying anatomy, even if it's being covered up by something! below is me tracing what her chest would look like if I followed the lines that are drawn

you have a very cool art style and I like you draw eyes, but I would make the eyes slightly less wide and the irises a bit bigger so that it looks more like rei, but in the end that is kinda optional since character art doesn't have to look exactly like the character.

also this is optional but some more line variance, especially thicker lines where shadows are makes lineart look a lot more interesting and pop more

a lot of the problems can be simply solved by flipping your canvas regularly while drawing, since people arent usually good at being able to draw symmetrically or even tell when something is asymmetrical

rei's face is also kinda short and her hair is very round, especially at the top. rei's mouth is also really close to her nose, so I just moved her nose down a bit.

below is the paintover, but just the anatomy and design part, not the shading (I didn't do the hands because there's a lot of stuff in that general area and I would have to redraw everything and also I'm lazy)

i tried my best to retain your style while still making corrections. i hope this is ok!

ok now onto the hardest part: shading

the biggest mistake you can make is just adding shadows to the edge of everything, it suggests roundness and so if you're shading something like a face, which is actually relatively flat and definitely not a sphere, you don't need those shadows on the edge of the chin. well, technically a face and chin are slightly rounded, but if you look at a side view of a person, the face is still pretty flat (excluding the nose)

also that shadow right next to the arm that's being cast onto the chest doesn't make a lot of sense since the light seems to be coming from above, yet this shadow makes it seem like the light is coming from the left. make sure you have a consistent light source when drawing, you can mark the location of the light physically if that helps. if the light is being cast from above, then naturally shadows must go downwards

going back to that image of the sphere and cube, you can see that the sphere has blended shadows and the cube has sharp shadows, this is very important to apply into art, because it helps differentiate different surfaces. because every shadow in your drawing is blended, everything looks soft and round, but the human form definitely has some sharper areas. also, there's a thing called a cast shadow, which is a shadow that's caused by some object blocking light. it also has sharp edges and there's many cast shadows on a person (the nose casts a sharp shadow onto the face, and the head casts a sharp shadow onto the neck for example)

idk if you wanted a lesson or not lol but yk there's a saying about teaching a man to fish vs just giving the man a fish

also the shiny parts on her outfit are shaded incorrectly, explaining how to shade reflective surfaces is really difficult and I don't even fully get it myself, but if it's just clothes, all you have to do is shade clothes as you normally do and then make the contrast much higher (highlights brighter and shadows darker) and add some reflections ofc

FINALLY DONE this took all day i'm not even kidding but I really like it

i lied, i did edit the kitten but just its head

anyway hope i helped i worked pretty hard on this

also thanks for letting me do a paintover!! paintovers are so fun but I can understand why ppl wouldn't want their work touched

no i didnt draw the rest of her cuz this was just a basic sketch and i thought it was good enough to colour and render

magma filters are great but they NEED to add a blend brush and cool effects

we dont talk about the hands ok i couldnt care less 😭 and i did this quickly but i can draw hands ok i just didnt try

man i love colour schemes and saturation

and women

rocks!!!

found a SUPER COOL rock today its green and red and striped and has some quartz crystals and white stripes i love rocks soooo much

also i have cinnamon bread its so yummy

i was trying to do a shading demonstration for my friend but I ended up drawing a really scrumptious looking sphere

idk what its made of but man it looks good

looks like the apple emoji style lowkey

no words. remember Matthew Walter Wong. so sorry this happened August.... fuck cops I hope he gets justice

he was only 22...

Man with threatening note shot, killed by Oregon trooper at Salem airport

A man was shot and killed by an Oregon State Police trooper at an Army training center at the Salem-Willamette Valley Airport on Thursday mo

I knew this man. He had schizophrenia and wasn't in his right mind when he was shot down for being "suspicious".

This was the "weapon" he had on him:

It was fucking POCKET KNIFE

They shot down a mentally ill man who had a pocket knife with him for being “suspicious”
