 I’m gonna try and keep these drawings in a thread. Ive been playing with new characters for the past 2 summers now, trying to work them into a story. It’s going well~ but it’s changed a lot from last year. Filling black hair by pencil looks so nice, better than a flat black mass like a used to do with ink. My darkest pencil is a 2B, would like to get my hands on darker ones this fall~ although it’ll likely make my sketchbook even messier ^^; (see the smears on Dae’s shoulder). 35 comments
 “You are your own rabbit.” That rabbit is a hutch rabbit though, (and like Hakazi it is short of an eye) and will need some support.    @rek owww, love this. I read once someone saying to their dog something like "I'm so honored you want to be my friend". really stuck with me (can't recall the source tho ) Squished up faces are fun to draw. I need to create more opportunities for drawing squished up faces. Hakazi and Seir are old friends, but they don’t see eye to eye on much nowadays. My more recent character, Rye. She has a cabin in the woods where she sculpts all day. First time I draw a character with prominent lips. It’s funny that the day I first drew this Devine had also drawn lips on a character for the first time lolol... wasn’t planned. We were both into drawing lips that day. Some of today’s sketches~ some bits from a fight between a hella buff/big security guard and Hakazi + Dae. Visible is the cap from a ink pen which helps extend the tiny 2B pen I’ve got (don’t have anything else aboard that works as a makeshift extender, in any case better than nothing). Some scanned and lightly processed pencil drawings. Sharing the whole page would spoil a whole lot, so here's a partial view. Hakazi is stuck. He doesn't like being stuck. @Jummit you mean that it comes out messy, or? I’m a pretty messy drawer, so I usually have a bit of cleanup to do. @rek Yeah, sorry for not being more specific (I don't really know why my results aren't as good so I don't know the unknowns), but I will try to play with the levels and do some touch ups. Sometimes... it feels like I’m animating XD! I’ve already shared a bunch of these, but it’s funny to see them all together (the ‘smiling-but-worried’ one is new tho). “What a monster looks like depends on who you ask.” Indeed, some monsters wear suits and ties. I've been struggling with this particular sequence for a long while because the scene takes place at night, and I wasn't sure how to make it look good. I've been on/off it for weeks, mostly cause I was frustrated, but also cause we've been moving the boat a lot. I think I've finally found something I like :>. Hakazi and Dae see well in the dark, but the guard doesn't (uses a flashlight to see).    |

@rek Do you have a fixative spray can somewhere? Even while it doesn't help while drawing, at least it might make those drawings longer lasting afterwards.
