Do you ever forget how to draw your own OCs?

[BraveHeartTatsumaki]

Usually... yep, specially when the character hasn't appeared or doesn't appear that much in the comic, or also PARTS I don't use to draw that much so I forget details, fortunately I drew references drawings of the characters otherwise it would be awful xD

[PixyByte]

Yes! I often draw them differently without even meaning to!

If I come back from a long hiatus I may forget certain features to the characters design. Fortunately most of it gets embedded in my head as long as I work on it.

I have to refer back to references of all of my OCs because i'm always forgetting the minor details each one has. I like to be consistent with my OCs so I have to check back every time I create a new page so they don't end up looking different on every page xD.

As embarrassing as it is to admit it, I too sometimes forget how to draw my OCs. It usually happens when I'm forced to take a month or more break from drawing them. I now make a point to do some kind of a character concept page. That really helps refresh my memory lol!

I had a brain fart some time ago when I forgot how many fingers my characters had.

I started cartoony-style with four fingers, then as the series became more adventurous, we introduces several alien species with various numbers of fingers per hand (at the moment ww have three, four, five and even six). One day I was in a rush to finish the page because I had another job queued and I found myself drawing the main characters with five fingers for the entire page. Thankfully I noticed that before publishing, so I could go back and fix everything.

All the time especially with my newest series The Working Stiff. I did some initial sketches for the main character but other than that I have been designing all of the characters as I draw them into the strip. I've gotten to the point now where I have noticed some inconsistencies. Part of this is due to the natural evolution but I think its also that I never had a definitive design for anyone.

To resolve this I am currently in the process of creating proper character model sheets for all of my regularly recurring characters. The nice benefit of this is now that I'm examining them further It's smoothing out some of the things I didn't like.

On the flip side I've been doing autobio comics for years and I can pretty much "draw myself" with my eyes closed at this point.

I'm sure that if your characters are very detailed and complex, it must be hard to remember how to draw them. I keep my characters quite simple , like in the outfits and such. So it's not really hard to forget them ^^'

[sadlittlespook]

All the time, good lord. Sometimes I have to stop mid-ink and triple check to make sure I'm getting the design right and that its just not my head messing with me again. I find it easier to remember though if I just doodle the characters doing silly things whenever I'm not working on my comic!

[maximumthemokona]

I'm not sure that I ever learned how to draw them to begin with :s

[naughtyjourneycomic]

I've got SO many ocs but i didn't forget them....i think..I still remember their looks but some parts i forgot...Dammit.
