Sketch Update

0 min read
Well, I've been doing a loooot of research here the past week or two. A few breakdowns from stressful situations here and there, but I keep on sketching and writing. Currently, I'm trying to sketch basic faces and hairstyles for my book's race called the Escardi. I've been giving a lot of thought as to what makes them different from humans and I'm writing down notes as well on the key features that make the Escardi race so...otherworldly. Eyes (shape and color), skin (texture and color), ears (shape), and hair (natural colors) are the main alterations I'm looking forward to sketching. The eyes are going to look like those of an animal. I hop

Art Improvement

Okay. The Challenge Week with ~VaruneGlacies (https://www.deviantart.com/varuneglacies) didn't go as planned. I got distracted by life and, shortly after, a break up followed by Life Failure... Erhem. The point is I'm BACK and inspired to get started on further improving my art! Oh, I did tons of sketches of Mina and her facial expressions. Unfortunately, she looks like every other character I've drawn and her hair is annoying to draw curly. >/ I have a looooooooooooonnnnnggg list of projects I want to draw. Hard to do so between a job and with Christmas coming up. Well, I went to researching :iconEndling: 's work and :iconZombiesmile: and was once again inspired by their awesome

Hubby has the computer today, so I'm downloading sketch dumps of my favorite artists as references. What I'm studying is the difference between male faces and female faces in these particular art styles (Endling, Zombiesmile, Pirate-Cashoo, etc.) and how they make their characters look diverse. Thus far, I've figured out that it's three key elements: facial style, eyes, and hair. I've also been studying expressions and how the faces move with the expression itself. Not only am I studying, I'm also practicing. I'm tracing over the art to get a general feel for how to draw a face in a particular way and applying it on a separate sheet of paper
