Okay something that is oddly specific that not only you do well but others do well that I am having trouble with - getting a graphic of a character to look good when cutting off part of their face! I have been practicing this...and can figure it out mostly until I try to do what you did in your second signature there. Like the top of his face is gone but it looks so natural to the rest of the graphic and COHESIVE. I am always so impressed by you, Katherine! Ugh. GORGEOUS.

thank you ;_______;

It is definitely a case of trial and error and also looking at other people's work and mimicking it for practice. I tend to fall into the same pattern for how I crop with these so I want to try and experiment a bit more with tilting the original image so its not just the straight on. Sometimes you find really interesting shapes and layouts with that.

I've got PLENTY and deviantart is a really great place to get some from. Will keep sharing

❝ Flamsteed Twins

inspiration SSRPG characters Atlas Flamsteed (sweetpinkpixie) and Aries Flamsteed (Samia)
materials Ohuhu brush tip markers

I recently ordered two new sets (pastel and skin tones) of Ohuhu markers and I have been itching to draw more. So, today, I finally found some time to just sit and unplug with an audiobook and drew. For a while now I have been wanting to draw some chibi style characters again and I've also been wanting to try and take pages from Jay and Ern and MJ's books with drawing characters...thus I took a stab at drawing my current school RPG character and his twin brother. The line art phase was a mess (see below) and I am really pleasantly surprised with how it came out in the end - finding the right lighting to take a photo was hard and it still doesn't show the colors right (I tried twice in different locations by the window but dslfjlskdfljs). The pastel Ohuhu's really layer nicely and are what I used on their hair, eyes, and for a base on the robes before layering over them with my original 48 pack. The skin tones were fun to play with (I used YR212 milk white and YR20 for their skin with R080 pale cherry pink for the blush on the cheeks) and I am REALLY looking forward to trying out darker skin tones soon.

So, Atlas has his Pluto plushie (Toby) and Aries has an infamous large sandwich made popular by Hogwarts Mystery I've learned from previous robe doodles and attempts at shading to start LIGHT and casually build up darker...and that the black and darkest great will just never blend well so do not try...so I am pretty pleased with how the clothing (another bane of existence along with hands) came out

SPOILER!!: progression from line art to coloring

EDIT // the white space was killing me...so I added a bit more so it turned into a proper character spread of sorts

I'm finding such joy in following your continued journeys thru traditional art (and your love of those markers lmao). for your thumbs up piece, you spoke to my soul by doing a spider but not a regular (scarier) spider and in my fav colour combo. That tarantula could easily be an illustration in a book. ok? ok. so. SO. sooooooooooo. I don't think it's a secret to you that I could stare at your graphics for hours and not get bored lmao they're so beautiful and vibrant. The way you deal with contrast and colour and light, not to mention the pain that is choosing fonts and placing text. Your work is so good I think I might hate you a little bit. no, no, I don't. yes I do Those Cathal graphics are BEAUTIFUL wow I just had 2 highlight them. look at the little sunspot ;-; and and and aND I'm still yelling at you for these Darius graphics lmao. more beauty, in face and in graphic skill. people are loud. people have comments. you see what your nonsense has wrought. thank you for the shout out tho I'm still very proud of that line Why are you the way you are? knows why but still WHY?! so THANK YOU AND I AM VERY FOND OF MY NONSENSE SO YOU'RE WELCOME ❝ Flamsteed Twins click for larger view inspiration SSRPG characters Atlas Flamsteed (sweetpinkpixie) and Aries Flamsteed (Samia) materials Ohuhu brush tip markers I recently ordered two new sets (pastel and skin tones) of Ohuhu markers and I have been itching to draw more.
