ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏ An Attempt at Realismฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅˋ°•*⁀➷ Left and Right arrows to see my progress. This is also mobile-friendly, so press the Sprite/image to advance to the next step of my art, before the final product :) This was hard starting from scratch (and no, that was not pun intended-) on a blank canvas.. but having an ambitious idea in mind made it worth the long hours spent on this! <3 BETTER QUALITY OF THE FINAL DRAWING: (✿◠‿◠) https://pin.it/bhuj3kv (since scratch makes the art seem pixelated qwq) This is also for an art contest but I forgot to make it a remix,, and the backpack tool backfired for some reason Feral boi go brrrrr At this point, Wilbur has created a whole other level of m o o d asksjdkdj I also went far out of my comfort zone with this,, since it contrasts a lot from my usual anime-ish style (I’m not sure how else to describe it) but it was worth it! I may even start alternating between these two styles :> ╰┈➤ And a small note before I begin: This was based on Wilbur Soot's cover image of his song "Your New Boyfriend" (the one playing in this project) go check the song out if you haven't, lmbo. ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆ 1) This is my sketch/final "roadmap" of where things were gonna go. Things started off pretty simple and figuring basic things out like shading and lighting. edit: it looks kinda creepy ngl, but it was a quick sketch so- ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆ 2) Lineless and colour! This is also where I learned about the countless shades of brown while experimenting since I. used. plenty qwq I also added a satchel strap that wasn’t included in the sketch, but it looks great I think? And side note: I'm not used to lineless art so I hope this is alright (´・.・`) ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆ 3) Final effects 1/2 Just adding a personal touch on it, since recently, I love adding some ~s p a r k l e~ on my drawings! I also added some shading to give a warmer appeal to it. ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆ 4) Final effects 2/2! This is the final product, that took me SO LONG to get to,, especially with even more shading and just wanting to end,,but I have done it, your honour. And quite possibly, have sacrificed my sanity in the process (ᕵ﹏ᕴ) /j maybe, idk anymore to be frank. But, I have to admit, I also had fun making this :) *+:。.。⋆。˚ ⋆ oh and let's not talk about how much I despise drawing open mouth's and noses :D we won't talk about how much patience those two took. And I also learned how teeth are more of a darker yellowish hue, rather than a bright white hue.. But I think this actually looks.. okay,, cool. Time to rest now ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ edit: Woah you mad lads love realism, this generated some attention quite quickly, quicker than most of my projects have. Tysm, all of you are amazing! <33 *+:。.。⋆。˚ ⋆ CREDITS! The song is "Your New Boyfriend" by Wilbur Soot *casually starts vibing to music* The art is mine. And if you steal, I won't hesitate to steal your kneecaps and comfort food + I'll give a “lovely” lecture. <3 Tiny QR code’s on the bottle were from google lmbo, I was not going to spend a whole lot of time on drawing small QR code q-q I blurred them a bit though, since they aren’t a major detail. And the background image is not mine, nor apart of the entry. I just thought yellow would go nicely with the transitions :) ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ edit: oh my goodness,, I came back to this and I saw that this had 100 views.. thank you all so much <33 I never thought it’d get to this amount, and it’s also my most loved project at the moment <3 edit 2 (August 19th 2021) woah,, tysm for 234 views.. I hadn’t checked in on this project in a while and just.. wow.. <3 edit 3 (September 12th 2021) ok this has gotten such a positive response from everyone here so I’ll definitely be making more realism projects like this one in the future :) ᵔᴥᵔ
