happy new year! didnt have much time to draw yesterday since i was spending it with friends, but i did a quick doodle and threw together a bunch of art i did this year for the background. efficiency.
the past few days of my life have been dedicated to drawing reference sheets of OCs so i'll throw those here too
once work starts back up, i wont have as much time to draw, so ive been pumping out as much as i can during this break _( :3 _)L
i order a lot of commissions and these two didn't have refs that were clear enough to give to others. adult males and front-facing angles are the bane of my existence but i got through it '-')9 3d models and the symmetry tool in CSP are a godsend.
perhaps one day ill do ref sheets for the rest of my ocs. my many many ocs.

im experimenting with "how lazily can i shade but still get away with it by abusing overlay/add (glow) layers and 45893340 effect brushes that i download"
my main struggle is that im too lazy to shade but do not like how things look when i dont shade propertly

not an oc this time, but fanart (sync from tales of the abyss / tales of the rays -- one of my favourite characters)! i jokingly told a friend i'd draw fanart every month this year, but maybe it won't end up being a joke?
i'm still experimenting with how i want to handle colouring and lighting. i think i like gradient maps quite a lot? it lets me focus more on where the light+shadows are/how they look overall rather than each individual part and picking colours.
and then i slap a ton of effects and stuff on. cheap ways of making it more visually appealing to me. sparkles good.

finishing an old wip -- started the dragon last year (november) and finally got around to finishing it today
while it may look like it has a lot of details, believe me, 90% of those are just brushes i downloaded. i am a low effort person.
the yellow/black halo was a last minute addition because i was like "hm. how do i make him the focal point of this." i thiiink it worked out decently

more colouring experiments using gradient maps for shading -- i like it quite a lot, though im still getting used to it 'w');;
also i re-opened my art shop/commissions \o/ not many slots cause im trying to manage my time better

I think it's only a matter of time before your computer (or whatever you're using) explodes due to having two billion effect brushes lol. But jokes aside, I really love your art! Do you have any tips on how to draw hair flowing in the air?
funny enough, my computer did freeze while saving this and my screen just went entirely black for a while
probably more because i draw on a 4000px canvas and have like 50 layers but yknow.
for flowing hair, it sort of boils down to 3 things for me!
sorry for the mess, i... am a bit too tired to make it more organized
tip #1 is probaly the most important (and for further reading: the idea sort of follows from how animating flowing hair works. just the "1. How Hair Moves" should be sufficient)
#2 and #3 are just personal preferences of mine based on how i like to draw! depending on your own art style, they might not apply (e.g. if you draw more simplified shapes, then it might look weird to have a lot of stray bits and pieces)
mostly it comes down to using S-like shapes and making the hair look 'sparser' at the end (usually through tapering, or by splitting the hair off into multiple strands at the end)
experimental/doodle page
i dont typically put details on the top of hair (because im lazy and can't figure it out sometimes so i decided to just never do it) but i realized i struggle with shading that part because i don't. and so now i have to figure out how it works so i can be more comfortable when colouring οΌοΌΒ΄Π΄ο½)
also experimenting with some face angles because i keep drawing the same ones over and over again
theres a lot of stuff i want to study/practice but im sort of taking things one day at a time, dependent on my whims \o/

im bad at placing watermarks so i made the genius decision to use a qr code. i think it looks nicer too.

was experimenting with these hair brushes and also.. .drawing faces from a slightly lower angle. and a bunch of background brushes
im experimenting with a bunch of things at once rather than one thing at a time. partial progress in lots of things rather than a lot of progress in one is usually how things go.
one day ill do backgrounds properly and learn how to make proper compositions. but that requires doing studies and i do not have that attention span presently.

And totally use projects to make incremental improvements; who has time to study anymore?

she's not facing left!!! i was intentionally forcing myself to draw her facing the rightAnd look! Sheβs not facing left!

i was playing with some watercolour brushes and wanted to try this type of composition. bless the symmetry tool -- it makes drawing frames so much easier
also a commission for @Ori \o/
just vibin. i tried 3 different ways of colouring. For Science.
today has been productive.
