erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot

how we feeling about my old art 😭

this was 5 years ago crazy to think how much I've improved!!

sometimes (most of the time) i look at my old art and just think... why?? why that neck? why the legs?? why that chin? why that hair?

the classic "i dont wanna draw hands" pose

the eyes are staring at me

the lineart is a bit... rough in places

man i drew WAY too hard wtf i can see all the erased lines why did I press my pencil so hard

dont be discouraged if your art looks like this currently, you will get to where you wanna be, I know I sure did, and a few years is actually quite short to make such a large improvement

more OCs i made from when I was 9 I'm not keeping track anymore

why did i make so manyyy also ig im a furry now what was up with me and animal hybrids...

we dont talk about the cat lady chicken feet. i was on smth else back then wtf

ngl i see a lot of artists always draw crazy hair colours but... i went to a Chinese school lmaoo there was like one blonde person in my class and everyone else had black or brown hair, my environment is def reflected in my old art especially

can you tell that my favourite colour at this time was green

really glad no one can see my character annotations I made when I was 9... "soooooo nervous" "wicked cool devil" "very funny jumping lady" "people love his pants" "dat gun looks lethal" why was I so CRINGE

tbf the annotations do help me draw them in present day because they give me an idea of the character's personality and anything I wouldn't be able to make out by looking at them, but... still

vegan marshmallows are better than regular marshmallows

i'm not even vegan but the texture is so much better

i think i've mentioned this before... but here is the FIRST depiction I've ever made of puma guy. i kid you not this is his original first design (I always intended him to be a human but I feel like a lot of the design elements for him make sense once you see this lol)

it's... its really bad ok theres a reason i draw instead of sew, obv pattern is not mine but I made this in a sewing class so if anyone knows the original pattern let me know, mine def looks warped compared to the original tho

honestly it was literally just for fun I just chose cloth patterns I liked, but who would know it would lead to this..

literally dont look at the stitches its all hand sewn I didn't use a sewing machine so its really uneven and janky

his shirt is literally a square piece of cloth that's kinda folded on the edges I didn't put any effort into it

i literally finished making this plushy and then I just had a vision flash in my head of him looking super cool... literally all my character designs come from just... images that pop into my head spontaneously

imagining his reaction lol

this actually looks fine even though i literally played badminton for 1 and a half hours straight and my arm hurts and is so weak rn

sorry for the wait im finally finished!

another art trade done lets goooo

i really like this one man it looks so nice, im just on a roll with dynamic lighting

i put so much detail into this its 2:30 am 😭

6 hours of work... ive literally done nothing but drawn this whole day ong

even more OCs from when I was 9, except the green alien and all the OCs that include the weird eye hands, white octopus, and fairy are from the transition between 3rd and 4th grade (idk wtf happened there something was def going on in my head)

and then the image with the purple cat girl are all OCs from when I was 10, we're moving on lol

dont even... dont even ask about the shark elbows rainbow hair girl that was a request from one of my friends elementary school go crazy

i unfortunately have to claim responsibility for eyeball hands girl... uhh i have no excuses I genuinely don't know what made me make that

style study (not my usual art style) ~2 hours

art trades anyone?? i really want to draw something new (and get some nice art too) ill finish in 1-2 days, im really fast

What's with the teeth?

im not beating the buck tooth asian allegations 😭
