Watching From Afar, Always Some Side-Character No One Cares to Search for...
There wasn't really a plan for this drawing that I had in mind. I was just messing around with this one. I felt like having a painter-y vibe for this. It gave me a lot more freedom than what I usually have. It was just a lot fun to do! I tried to figure out how the shadows would work, but I'm not too sure if they look right. For the light source for Siffrin, let's just say that the moon was really bright on this night and not that I put it there for no specific reason. I know that the game's art is black and white monochrome, but I wanted to use a purple monochrome instead. I had a lot of fun figuring out what hues to use.
Anyhow, here's the version without the air brush and here's the sketch concept:
Look! You can even see some birds and sailboats!
I liked drawing the birds. They were fun.
Okay, bye!
Edit: Today, I wrote my first ISAT fanfic on AO3! The writing in it flows a lot better than the writing in my posts, I promise. Check it out here: A Flowery Confession.
Siffrin Close Up
I'VE FINISHED THE GAME! FINISHED IT THIS PREVIOUS FRIDAY! IT WAS AMAZING! I WON'T GIVE ANY SPOILERS, THOUGH. BUT NOW, I'M REPLAYING THE GAME BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE - THERE'S A SECRET ENDING! When I finished the game, I immediately began watching animatics/animations that I had saved up. But then I saw a spoiler warning about the secret ending. Since I really want to get this ending, I immediately began the game again not even a hour after I finished it. I'm already back in Act 3, but I forgot how long Act 3 is. Though, I'm realizing there's a lot of things I missed in my first playthrough, so I'm still having fun.
Anyhow, onto the drawing. As you can probably tell, I'm better at drawing characters from the shoulder up (honestly, I draw characters from their shoulders up way too much). In this drawing, I was able to do more experimentation with Siffrin's design. I was able to practice drawing faces/head structures. With my previous drawings, the head was too small for me to really do a lot with it. I better at drawing things at a bigger scale at the moment.
I think I'm finally getting a hang of drawing Siffrin's hair. I really love how it looks! It's so fluffy! I think the hair in my other drawings feels too stiff, but the hair in this one feels more free.
I decided I wanted to give Siffrin an eye bag. Considering how exhausted he is, I decided it fit. I mean, Frin has been told they look as though they haven't slept in weeks. So, yeah.
My art app has a colorless blender marker, so I used that for the eye bag. I decided I wanted to experiment a bit more with blending, so I did that for a few of the shadows.
With the angle I was drawing from, I figured we would be able to see the sides of Siffrin's pins. I tried to make them look three-dimensional. I might've made them have too much depth, though. They should probably be thinner. I considered adding a shine to them, but it didn't look right considering how much white is surrounding them.
With all that in mind, I think this is my favorite drawing of Siffrin that I've done. I feel as though this one does the best job at capturing Siffrin's personality. I'm getting closer to a design for them in my art style. It's more stylized and feels more natural. My other drawings of Siffrin feel a bit forced. All in all, I think that I'm getting better at drawing them!
Cloudy Day
This drawing was mostly me just messing around with my art app. Specifically, I was messing around with the background. I liked how it turned out. I think that it actually looks like a cloudy day! I didn't feel like line art for the character would match up with the style of the background, so I just colored over my sketch. The character's design is based off of Coraline (the movie). Anyhow, I like how the drawing turned out.
The Shooting Star
Here's my first post (and first finished drawing) of the year. I spent a long time on the background, and I think I did a good job. This was a very experimental piece. First off, I'm using a new art app. I use to use a very outdated Flipaclip to make my drawings, but, when I got my new phone, I could only get the newest version of Flipaclip. Yeah, I absolutely hate it now. I've started using Infinite Painter instead, so my drawings are going to look a bit different now. I was trying to experiment with a pose and with the lighting of the piece. I've been trying to learn anatomy, so I've trying to draw more poses. I also want to get better at lighting in my drawings, so I've been adding light sources to my art. Overall, I really liked how this piece turned out.
Check out my previous drawing of Mabel!
Random Scene With Stan
Dialouge: Wow, poindexter! You really outdid yourself this time...
I was just messing around with this drawing. I suppose this scene takes place when Ford show him the portal, but eh. I was loosely basing it off of that. I used zero reference for this because it was supposed to be a doodle, not a fully drawn picture. I tried to make it look somewhat science-y (how many lights make it science?). I was honestly just messing around with lightsources. So if it doesn't look good, that's because I have no idea how to draw lightsources (why, it's almost as if I should practice that). The blue light (that's reflecting off of Stan) is supposed to be coming from the portal (off-scene).
I'm not hugest fan of this drawing, even though I put more work into it than my other ones, but "that's art, baby!" My previous doodles are a bit more to my liking. I've drawn Stan, Mabel, Dipper, and the little Stans. I think my favorite is the one with Mabel. Though, I still haven't drawn (old) Ford.
Little Stans
This was my first time drawing the little Stans. Since I worked on these at around the same time, I thought that posting them together would be fitting. Originally, these were sketchs in my travel sketchbook that I decided to digitalize. Maybe I will actually draw a background for these pictures some time in the future, though I was mostly trying to practice poses when I drew these. By the way, I have drawings of the Pines family. I've drawn Stan, Mabel, and Dipper so far, so make sure to check those drawings out!
No-one Deserves To Be Forgotten
Surprise! Another drawing... thing I wanted to try a new style thing, faces hairstyles, features and the like. So...
