Wanderer
A collection of my attempts to get Micah's hair and face shapes, as well as the small doodle that got me to draw him more. Still working on getting around to his character sheet as well as backstory related art
Someone please stop him from cutting his own hair too, it's so uneven
Buckle up because I'm about to ramble a tad
Watching Look Back was probably the best thing a streaming platform could've recommended to me, the way Fujimoto wrote the characters was so immensely human and the most I've related to characters in years in terms of art. Drawing out of felt necessity instead of genuine love is something I felt so intensely related to, not drawing for some time and then picking it back up again as well.
I've had times I haven't drawn for months then only to draw out of a felt need instead of my love for my work, I've had times I've drawn multiple pieces in a day because I wanted to and loved every moment of it. Both girls have been me at some point in my life, childhood and current adulthood.
The story was absolutely brilliant, in all ways I can think of, watching two young artists grow up and their paths that they took, the way they developed. I could not have asked for more, I don't think I've cried that much over characters I knew such a short time either, but they moved me. Those two girls got me so involved, made me feel so seen and then broke my heart in the best way possible.
I love this film and it's story with all my heart
Sister character
More practice art for her design and colour palette I was testing out moreso at the time, not having a lot of lore for her
I now have a rivalry with drawing shoes, here is someone entirely new to Ibis Paint trying to sketch and do lineart for a WIP compressed into 1 minute. Sorry for any flickering from looking back and forth on layers

Opening Tumblr and this being the first post you see from a mutual is fucking wild
He splayed my profane form across the bed, Getting my back blown out so hard the very sparks cry for mercy
I've never used Ibis Paint before so I decided to draw this to test it out, I had fun, it was. Major adjustment but I'm definitely going to try it out again
