The Sketch a Day Thread!

[Lensing]

Sketch for the book cover of my future upload to tapas. I think I´ll leave her face
like that and draw the cover in only one color

Nerdy Theresa and cute David hang out in David´s apartment and they are
about to go to an office party. There is a knock at the door and it´s David´s
old friend Julia, who is the opposite of Theresa in every way. Theresa gets
jealous. There are lies, secrets and seduction, it´s really fun to write this story

For some reason she totally gives me female Johnny Bravo vibes, lol.

Oh man...honestly, there's so much nuances to giving an actually useful critique, but also how we see our own art is completely different from how other people see it. So maybe this detail you just realized was really bad, other people didn't see as terrible either, or they thought something else is wrong.

Also there may be a chance you're just not on the level to notice the problem and make changes, or you just so used to something it will be painfully hard for you to admit the problem. Like if someone will say my characters' legs are too short or their faces are crooked to the left, I can only laugh in their face because yeah, I know.
(Also I just know from myself that some people can be in the mood where anything can throw them into artblock or something and I won't be good snapping that last straw)
Well, on the other hand maybe that's why it takes me so many years to learn what others learn in a few months

[Lensing]

This was seriously funny

[candiedcotton]

Ahhh I get where you're coming from. I do think critique should never be given without the artist specifically asking for it, and find it very rude to give unsolicited critique. But for me, I think there are definitely things I sometimes just don't see until like a week or even a month later, and I wish I had noticed. There's a lot of nuance for sure when it comes to critique. Some is useful, some is just... not at all. lol. I like to pretend that one of these days I'll find a valid reason to put money into drawing lessons. But that ain't today, in this economy.

Still, I am always totally open to critique here, and I am always appreciative of feedback. It really means a lot just having people look at your art even. Kinda... validating?

Found an old oc in one of my sketchbooks and did some doodles

[AmazementComics]

Felt inspired by the RP game again last night. So here are some more Mystic Superiors characters they can expect to see.

Trying to design my version of Jack Frost

This kid is so fun, sometimes.

[VibrantFox]

getting back in the swing of things (again)

mostly stuck in wait mode till my laptop gets here but at least trying to shake the rust of before it arrives so lots of silly doodles of whatever comes to mind <3 i also think this is one of the first time i've drawn the spongeboy but only coz i could hear his laughter echoing from another room

I've been migrating to a 3-day-a-week B&W style comic and it has been phenomenal for my mental health and efficiency. Since its just nothing but lineart I'm really starting to get good at quickly drawing anatomy, which is a big deal since my male lead is a musclehead--I'm actually really proud of how this one came out.

Making another picture in the style of that Flare drawing I did a while back.

[Lensing]

Julia loves making out

[Kelheor]

@VibrantFox those Sonic sketches are so nice! I literally know nothing about Sonic, but you make the characters feel so alive ^^

@Lensing oh I can totally see them being magazine illustrations add some non-bright textured coloring et voilà!

[Lensing]

Yes, that´s how I imagine it in my head too but I´m not sure how to do it yet

But this will probably how the illustrations for my book will look like.
Some of it even more reduced because I want to give room for the
imagination and there is already the text explaining things

[candiedcotton]

I don't have the brain power to comment on everyone's stuff, but it's really a joy to see so much variety.

@Lensing I really love how thoughtful and simplistic your line work is. It makes the shapes very clear. Also, I suck at kiss scenes (they always look like they're eating each other) so I'm jealous, haha.

[VibrantFox]

thank you definitely a consequence of a years long fixation but testing expressions and poses with em is a lot of fun ^^

[candiedcotton]

I finished all my flat coloring yesterday, so I'm doing shadows and highlights and atmosphere and all that now. This one is still a flat, but I kinda dig it. I was trying to go for just a little bit of 'lean toward the camera' perspective, but it wasn't quite how I wanted.

[Lensing]

Thanks a lot.
Kissing sceens are my absolute favorite thing to draw, I just love
how sensual it is
