@16BitInk 's character Chelsea from the OC drawing thread.

As if I don't have enough to be getting on with.

[MerrowBros]

My favorite doodle on this page is probably the singing rat. Just cuz.

[Legendofgenii]

I wonder what he he’s belting out?

[Zin_Trollborn]

I know I already post the sketches here and the finished thing on the other thread, but I think the step by step is interesting enough.
(and because for once I'm satisfied enough about the way I worked it and the outcome)

[FafasMcMelt]

incredible stuff all around. Great work!

[Zin_Trollborn]

@FafasMcMelt Thank you, thinking I did this drawing for no reason at all but I still put a lot of thoughts on the meanings about the different patterns in relation to these characters

"Tired" . Sleepy tired seemed too boring/straightforward so I went for exertion tired. t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶o̶b̶v̶i̶o̶u̶s̶l̶y̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶e̶x̶c̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶w̶e̶i̶r̶d̶ ̶e̶f̶f̶e̶c̶t̶s̶

And I was in the mood to draw something from Akayona because it's been ages, so here's Jae-Ha with a bit of retro shoujo man face (picked up Basara for a re-read recently).

I'll be kinda back to the pc tomorrow for at least a couple days before I take off again .

@Zin_Trollborn this came out great!! Glad you posted for us - love the textures on the final piece.

@MerrowBros me too - I'm imagining an aria and it's fantastic.

@Legendofgenii aaaaaah that oc chain thread is so much fun, Chelsea looks amazing! Also, I love your braids on Ida - she's gorgeous and looks very distinct from Bellah to me .

[wispysing]

She reminds me a lot of Aloy from Horizon Zero games. Nice work!

[Kelheor]

3 more pages today, including analysis of muscles, and I really want to continue, but I also need to pace myself

[Legendofgenii]

She reminds me a lot of Aloy from Horizon Zero games.

Oh! Thank you so much! I just googled this and that’s exactly the look/style of character I’m going for.

Now I’m just going to have to buy that game… for research purposes.

[Legendofgenii]

@Zin_Trollborn It looks incredible! I’m so happy you shared the start to finish process too.

[euphisa]

omg your anatomy study is so good! It makes me wanna try drawing anatomy studies too even tho i only know the bare basics. heck id love to see a thread of your anatomy studies

[Kelheor]

It makes me wanna try drawing anatomy studies too even tho i only know the bare basics.

Do it, no better time than now! There are ton of useful tutorials and stock photos out there, you don't really need much to start, for starting studies you just need some references of people. I save everything I can, both models and bodybuilders and other types of bodies, because they all kinda look different on the surface and it may be confusing.
Maybe later you will find out you lack some knowledge that prevents you from understanding details of what's going on on the photo (that's what I am coming from right now, I just have an itching desire to finally get all this stuff), but generally you don't need to go and understand all the muscles

[euphisa]

aight traced 2 models and identified their muscles. I traced one anatomy study of the back muscle (i think i sorta understand back muscles now, tho idk how the muscles shift for different poses) and traced 3 legs anatomy, and with the knowledge i drew one leg (the one with the cyan)

[Kelheor]

@euphisa Yay for our art becoming better today!
