The Sketch a Day Thread!

[Kelheor]

@abigaillmartin thank you! Gods I love them too hahaha. Sorry I thought your thread idea is just too good for my casual sketch xD twin characters are cool!

[Mallory]

Couple of studies (ish) based on photographs for shapes.

@Kelheor if I understood the criticism correctly, it wasn't that the characters looked too young, it was that the style looked too young/aimed at a "too young" audience. I think it was likely that my subject matter (contemporary for the pitch) meant there was less freedom to do fun things like heavy stylization (though I just read a really nice contemporary comic for the same age range with an almost identical style, so... I dunno, I'm confused).

Maybe I'm just overthinking it, and should just do what I like to do.

Also just for fun, I can't remember if I posted them here, but here are my twins from my pitch!

I think I want to join this challenge! ^^
had a random burst of inspiration and sketched this, I really like it so i think i might turn it into a full piece

[Kelheor]

@hadleestt welcome, welcome!

Bros I am drawing last episode of the season

[Mallory]

Wanted to draw a friendly/tough old chap character. I think he’s a bit too much friend-shaped, need to make him a bit tougher-looking.

[abigaillmartin]

Awwww he’s so adorable! He looks like a more humble monopoly guy as if in an alternate universe or something.

Love the game, but Gladio have just entered my most hated list. How dare him to shove Prompto. MY PROMPTO! I was so angry that instead of walking on the train and talking with people, I just went to the fartest place from Gladio, and stayed there until the travel was done. In the train station I went to speak with Prompto, who is kind of depressed, but I have not talked with Gladio. If there would had been an option to fire him, I would had taken it. I went back to the continent instead of talking with him and Ignis, haha.

My giant realizing she's not really there +_+

[nathanKmcwilliams]

New comic in progress. It's gonna be a while before it's done but I'm aiming at ten pages

[irresponsiblepics]

Suffering from burnout..so what to do? Oh that's right start sketcing concept stuff near the end of my current "volume"

[DanielRKM]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees! Loving these sketches. I don’t know about you, but these sketches boosted my inspiration/productivity levels. Love the guy on the top right, feels like a sleepy gremlin from the Jim Henson universe.

[DanielRKM]

Penny is looking a little too cool for school (for having had snot in her hair 5 minutes ago). She’s a survivor.

[Aleksei]

Played episode Ignis, and oh god.
Now I know why people ship him with Noctis. I mean, he really loves his king. Before to me he was like 'meh, the other dude', but now I want him to be happy, and loved. They really did a great work on his episode.
I still don't talk to Gladio.

Also, keep trying to do new stuff here!
I want to do a new comic sometimes soon with this kind of aesthetic. Or something similar. Something very dark, with glimpses of light.

[TheCalystegia]

This seems like a fun thread. These are some manga panel sketches we're still working on.

[Lensing]

The contest comic is almost finished, I have enough time left. It´s good that I started early
this time.

Here is a sketch for a panel for an additional page which I will maybe put in the comic

[moontokkym]

First time posting on this thread, I'm not sure this is right. I made a crackship fanart for the comic that got me into drawing 11 years ago

I sort of automatically drew the character on the left (Käj) a bit like my MC Khay out of habit because they're kind of similar lol.

[Kelheor]

Heyy, new people!
@Aleksei ohhhhh, I really love this one! Amazing shading! I was completely unimpressed by FF15, but it's really enjoyable to see your fanart

@TheCalystegia these are amazing! Second-third panels are love

@moontokkym aw, they look so sweet

I should probably take a day off and just draw art, because finishing first season didn't even sink into my mind yet another Lammas sketch I guess

[irresponsiblepics]

Totally. This whole thread is great for creativity boost seeing the superb art.

[Kelheor]

You know what. If there's inspiration to be taken in today, that's what I will do.
