fullscreen recommended click for zoom-in + process ---------- kelly drawing more than halfbody, shocking :o cue cinema vibes :D but also noooooo scratch quality why- I will try to do more environments nonetheless To Fox_D_Box: Umiko's design is so cute!! I rly wish I could've drawn the front but... ye here's where I ended LOL. I love the small lore drop and that she doesn't have trauma- that sure is rare among ocs. Probably very apparent in the drawing but the bubbles and umbrella gave me some yummy ideas :> The rest is artist braindump: I almost gave up halfway, but I'm really happy with how this turned out in the end! trust the process :> I've been inspired by an artist's (lemtun) drawings lately - they draw environments like it's nothing and showed me a new perspective on environments not as a prop decorating the character but a way to tell infuse story into your art - I think the environment makes the entire atmosphere of my drawing, and it wouldn't look remotely the same without it. How do you guys feels about drawing backgrounds? ye I used to avoid them at all costs LOL, I totally think u guys should check out lemtun tho :> Looking at my roughest sketch, I wish I kept the exact original gesture - I feel like it looks better than the final pose LOL, it's more flowy Character: Umiko @Fox_D_Box Music: unlasting by LiSA ik sao is ancient but has anyone watched it? :> the ost is so peak Time taken: 5 hours *skull emoji* looking back at older art I deadahhh spent 14+ hrs on a single piece w barely shading so maybe its not bad in comparison ahahahaaha
