Laudine's doodles

@Mariah: Oh my gosh thank you! That's an honour to hear >//<

@bot: Nothing special, just good ol' round photoshop brush, accompanied with lots and lots of tea haha xD

@Sparkanine: Haha, I'm always overexcited whenever I commission her. I also commissioned another two pictures similar to that, although there's no special narrative. You can see it here if you're interested: http://deenen.tumblr.com/post/83792597490/and-at-last-the-final-gorgeously-painted
And I'm happy that you liked my works as well!

No matter what you say you're still my senpai ok u//u *stalker kouhai*

@debironesu: Haha I'm still miles away from becoming a real artist, but thank you! ;u;

@mayorjillian: Really really glad to hear you enjoyed them! Textures are fun, but they're really hard to emulate, so glad you think they look okay! I especially experimented with rough texture in the first picture (the girl with flower basket), I hope it looks okay @_@
I do hope to make a living from drawing someday, though I want to try having a formal fine art education first ^^; At this moment I'm pretty much self taught.

@eranir: Oh thank you so much :'D I have been struggling with colour and shading for so long. I've just recently tried to learn them seriously, so I'm glad to hear that I'm in the right track :D
Thank you for your encouragement as well! I'm definitely not stopping, it's been a part of my life for too long haha!
Funny you mentioned 'sky is blue and grass is green', because I used to colour exactly like that.

Do you also draw? If you do I'd love to see some of your works :D

More stuffs below.

A gift for my friend, of his characters from his webcomic. Wasn't happy with how the colour and scenery turned out though, bleh. I should draw something else to make it up to him.

Ssh, you didn't see my MLP figure there.
Oh and... I was digging through my old folders and DA account and found these.

Yes, they're drawings of the same girl.

She's one of my oldest OCs, dated back to my anime obsessed days. Oh boy it feels surreal to take a look back. Her design and backstory have changed completely midway.
I don't give her enough love though :< Need to draw her more...

HNNNNNG THAT GIFT ART IS BEAUTIFUL! I also like the metal studies. Also, when I am able to do so, I'll surely commission your friend. But for now, she gets a follow.
 
Wow! Your art is wonderful! I couldn't do that well even if I tried. :eek:

I'm sure that people would love to take commissions. You have incredible talent! :)
 
Hey Laudine! Definitely been a while. :) Hee, hee, wonder if ya remember me. OMG, I totally did NOT know that you could draw! XD Your stuff looks great!!

Btw, I love your sig. Super cute and detailed.

uff i'm in love with your metal studies
i'm stuck in that stage of doing a sketch and never completing it, can't get colours accurate bleh
i was wondering if you could maybe take a look at this piece for me and help me understand how to get the colours accurate and make it more interesting to look at? you can completely ignore this since it's not rly the right place to put it hahah orz just really been desperate for some help from a good artist and wowee youarejustthat
http://i.imgur.com/QrAEaSZ.png
i don't use any references and i was thinking that was where i was going wrong since a lot of people have told me that just coming up with things from memory is bad; which they're right but i have a thing for it ;;
but ya you can just ignore this if you want kinda just threw a bunch of **** at you
 
@Sparkanine: Hnnngg I'm glad that you liked that picture! ;-; I'm just so annoyed at it since it looks nothing like what I imagined in my head hahah.
And yay! I'd love to see your commission someday <3

@MeghanNewLeaf: Oh thank you very much ;v; I'd love to do commissions! I'm so curious to see what people will request, haha. Hopefully I can do commissions in a few months ^^

@pengu: Penguuuuuu of course I remember you!! *still drolls over your signatures* It's been a while, how are you?
Haha I never said anything about drawing since I was in a big hiatus anyway xD If I remember correctly, didn't you also draw? :eek:
Haha glad you liked my sig too! I'm so in love with the picture xD Your sig is really cute too! I love Yookey's art *A*

@tinybear: Ah thank you, glad you liked the studies! And I'm so flattered that you want to hear my thoughts haha TuT I took a look on the picture you gave me, and I think it looks really nice! :D But here are my thoughts:
At the moment the shading look nice, however the form is lost because of the blending. The light source is not very clear too.
Try to block the face with solid colours first to determine highlight and shadow, and after you nailed them you can start work on smoothing those colours and details.
Here is how I usually work: [link]
This is a sketch tutorial, but I think still relevant because it teaches about value: [link]
I think having clear shadow and light source will make the picture more interesting and attractive. Colours play big part as well, which brings into my next point...

I did a colour check on the picture, and did you only use one shade of pink for the skin?
From my experience it's not good to rely on only one shade of colour. Skin (and other things in general) actually consisted of many shades of colour.
I usually separate them to three parts: highlight, midtone, and shadows.
For skin, I use cold colours for highlight like light blue, light green, and light purple because they will enhance the warmness of midtone area.
For midtone it's just the good ol' several shades of pink and yellow/orange.
For shadows I usually just use saturated darker chocolate, green, and purple.
Mixing those colours together will make skin look more realistic and 'alive'.
This is a tutorial regarding skin from my favourite artist: [more link]
This one is very helpful as well: [link again]

You're right about references! I think it is very important to learn from real life instead of relying on memory. That way you can learn how things work realistically, and after you understand how it works, you can freely bend your knowledge to make more stylized drawings.
I was stuck on that part for so long, stubbornly believed that memory is enough. I only started to improve after I started studying references. Don't be like me *sobs* T_T
Good timing actually, I have just found this challenge: [Yet another link] I think it's a good idea to make small practices daily if you're interested :)

Phew, that's a serious wall of texts. I hope it helps! Sorry I suck at English and explaining things haha ^^; Let me know if I'm unclear and I'll try to elaborate.

-------
Quick master portrait studies. I really miss doing these. I should get into habit to make at least one daily ><

omg thank you so much laudine ;_; /saveswalloftext
i was practicing with using grey scale before colour and i couldn't really figure out how to get the shading to look uhh right? without it only being one shade haha i don't really want to use grey scale but it's beginning to gnaw on me that i can't get colours right orz
but thank you so much for all the links and words of advice, it's really lovely of you <33 your english is perfect don't worry about it!
 
Gasp sorry I missed your comments, I was typing and typing that long post above, hahah.

@Meghan: Hahah yup! It was so fun to make. I used a reference for that, though I'm happy that you think it's real! xD

@Ryan: Thank you for your interest! I can't accept them at the moment because of work (I don't want to deliver rushed pieces!). Though, hopefully I'll be able to do them in a few months :D
Would you like me to notify you when I'm open, if you're still interested? ;u;

No problem!! I really hope they help and let me know if anything's confusing! ;v;
Ahh, grayscale. I tried to work that way before, but can never really get it right. It seems that my brain is only programmed to "COLOR. NOW. RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" xD
I stumbled upon a great tutorial on working with grayscale though!
[I promise this is the last link]

Colour studies are fun but they kill my hand.

First and last time I'll ever try to draw a car. Me and car is like oil and water.
 
@pengu: Penguuuuuu of course I remember you!! *still drolls over your signatures* It's been a while, how are you?
Haha I never said anything about drawing since I was in a big hiatus anyway xD If I remember correctly, didn't you also draw? :eek:
Haha glad you liked my sig too! I'm so in love with the picture xD Your sig is really cute too! I love Yookey's art *A*

I'm alright. No longer cycling, but I still have my sig shop. :) Expanded it to also include avatars and ref sheets (those in particular in limited quantities). If you ever wanna order something, feel free.

Ha, go fig. XD Yeah, I do, but I don't draw much these days. My old tablet pen died and because it's such an old model, Wacom doesn't make it anymore.

I did get a new tablet recently, but haven't really gotten to try it out too much yet. I should at least try to color something to refresh my memory as it's been quite some time since I've used it for drawing. I mainly used it for editing pics and such.

Hee, hee. Thanks! :DYeah, try refreshing the page a few times, you'll see some other sigs too. :3

@Pengu: Ah too bad you don't cycle anymore, it was fun lurking in your thread (and stalking villagers as well xP). But it seems that cycling really take a lot of time though. Especially when you cycle as much as you did!
I'm still really interested in commissioning signature from you by the way :'D I just need to think of an interesting background idea first, hahah.

Aw what tablet was it? D: Mine is an older model as well, and I'm so scared of it ever breaking. I don't think I will be able to replace it.
I use Intuos5 at work, but it is annoying to use for some reason. The pen nib got worn out like no tomorrow, and the touch bar thing is irritating.
I'd love to see your drawings if you started drawing again though :D

Ooh randomized signatures! Didn't notice that the first time haha. I love your signature collections! My favourite is the one with your mayor and Peanut. Really love the soft colour there~

@Meira: Thank you! ;u; Yes I have a doodle Tumblr, you can find it's here: http://lunateaa.tumblr.com/

I also have DA, but I haven't updated it for literally years ^^; Most of my stuffs there were from my anime drawing days and it's so embarrassing, haha.
It's here if you want to take a peek: http://laudine.deviantart.com/

Also, it seems that I have some elusive free time for once! I'm thinking to take a black and white portrait request. Just one though. I'll draw for whoever ask first. Just comment with a reference :>

Things to consider for the request:
- It'll just be a reeeal quick sketchy portrait! Nothing special really ;v;
- Either male or female is fine with me. However let's keep it human for now.
- I'm really not into drawing mirth. I prefer melancholy, which means I draw frowns, scowls, and more neutral expressions. Nothing overly happy, sparkly, kawaii, or something like that please!
- Detailed accessories are very much welcome. They're therapeutic to paint!
- I aim to finish sometimes next week.

If no one's interested to request I'll just go back to my studies and doodling my OCs x)
Whee finally drawing time!
 
me please! ref in sig

Whoa you're quick *_* Alrighty! Do you mind if I draw his eyes showing? (Thinking of putting his sunglasses over his head)
Let me know if you prefer him wearing glasses though :D

gahhh i'd love my Vampire OC!!!!

http://sta.sh/22bg5dca52og?edit=1

Nevermind forgot your not taking anything other than Humans.

I don't mind vampires actually! As long as they're humanoid, not anthro or creatures like dragons haha. Guess I should've been clearer ^^;

But really, I really want to try drawing Evelyn. *still drolls over her crown* It might take a while, but do you mind if I doodle her sometimes?
