Linktober day 13, Skull Lake!

The trip to the lake’s thwarted by the weather. Oh well. We need more quiet moments of rest between action packed adventure, after all.

(Masterlist for this TOTK AU, Familiar Familiar!)

Plus patreon

Something something sailor having no fish back home (there’s fish in the water it’s just hard to tell, sorry)

I don’t really like how this turned out, which is a bummer tbh

Also won’t be doing Linktober prompts any time soon bc I feel so so bad for all the spam posting (might finish them next month ^.^)

Burying vs digging

finally finished the redraw of my old illustration! Old one is from 2019 😊

Glad you like the Ravio treat!!! 🐰💜💜💜💜

trick or Ravio? 🤭🐰

Ravio always!!!! 🐰💜💜💜💜

(last anon) TYSM, i'm just wondering about the sketches of these 2 art because these are my personal fav of yours

https://www.tumblr.com/thedustyleaves/723915769382125568/i-realised-i-never-put-together-a-single-post-with https://www.tumblr.com/thedustyleaves/698286527289098240/finished-this-years-halloween-piece-spooky Also wondering, are you the kind of artist who prefer to draw nude anatomy before drawing clothes, or just the basic shape of body?

I always start out with a super rough sketch where I just lay down the idea to get a feel for whether or not I think the actual illustration can succeed. It's just a few lines, but it's enough for me to decide whether or not I want to continue with it.

After that, I flesh it out a bit and start fiddling with the composition, the weight of the characters and how they're placed, the general size of the image, etc.

I never draw the characters nude first, only if I get stuck on a specific pose. I build on 'blocks' and rely on feeling more than anything. For example, the legs on Raki make no sense if I look at them for too long, but they feel right, and that's enough for me, hah! Sometimes I'll take a reference photo of myself, mostly to understand what my body is doing to achieve a particular pose.

After that, I clean up the sketch so it's ready for lineart, drawing directly on top of those loose lines!

It's the same for the monster drawing! Rough idea first

Then fleshing it out to get a better idea of the composition and how the characters interact with each other and the environment

And a bit more of that

And then I clean it up so it's ready for lineart!
