When it comes to Animal Crossing artwork, most people like to draw their favorite animal villagers. However, I prefer to draw the human player characters. I've been drawing these since I first got into the series way back in 2012.
So, let's go through a history of my Animal Crossing art, starting with the first digital one I made back in 2012, which was a drawing of my character's head on MS Paint.
Yeah... Not very good. Actually, pretty creepy. Looks like I predicted Killager from Super Smash Bros...
Next up, here's a full body picture of my character, wearing a Big Bro's Tee.
Looking a little better... But still not that good. Looks like I also predicted New Leaf's taller characters. But then again, New Leaf was announced two years before I made this, so I guess it was actually a coincidence.
After that, I did some pixel art.
This one's not that bad, I have to say.
Eventually, I moved on to a better program. Paint.NET. I also never really drew anything again until I got my drawing tablet earlier this year. Here's the first thing I did on it.
You might notice he looks a little different. That's because he's not my character, he's an original character named Radd. His name is based on an old Population Growing cheat that requires you to name your character Radd and your town SpazTown. Also, he's based on this guy.
See that little logo I have in my signature now that says "Radd"? That's related to him.
Another one, this time he's jumping.
Not much to say about this one. His legs are too long though.
This is the last one I did on Paint.NET before I moved on to Paint Tool SAI.
Not much to see here. Just Radd with a blank stare.
And now we're here, at Paint Tool SAI. The program I'm currently using for artwork. These images are actually about four times larger, but I resized them for TBT.
This Radd's a bit more on-model to the games. A bit less cartoony, though. I did this one about a week ago.
Finally, for Back to the Future Day, I drew Radd on a hoverboard.
This is one of my personal favorites. Notice the little details like "NOOK" instead of "NIKE" on the power-laces. Unfortunately, he hasn't really grasped the concept of self-adjusting jackets yet, judging by one of his sleeves...
So, what do you guys think? Which one's your favorite? What improvements could I make? I'll continue to update this topic as I draw some more.
