The Sketch a Day Thread!

[Lensing]

I´m working on a simple way to draw cartoony figures which I will print for the kids that I´m teaching.
I´ll probably have to simpify this more

[DanielRKM]

@Headypigeon4180 And that dinosaur has brightened my day! Big-time Gertie The Dinosaur energy here.

@wispysing holy crow! Great poses/expressions/energy coming off these sketches! Love the duality between confident, big gun energy and the softer, more vulnerable energy of the second sketch!

@Calculus_Homework Those smiling renderings are magic.

Taking a moment to enjoy this one.

@Lensing these bring back a lot of childhood memories of step by step drawings pages in W.I.T.C.H magazines. I looked for them avidly!
@DanielRKM I love the composition and how the shiny pink directs our way of reading the picture!

Ik that I don't have time to draw but I just couldn't resist polishing this a lil more

[Kelheor]

@Calculus_Homework she looks so cool indeed

@Lensing looks like a good tutorial! But yeah, I see how you would probably want to simplify it even more for kids that's a really good way to make a pose.

@DanielRKM ohhhh, this shading rocks

@bunny she's coming together really well

Trying to teach myself how to draw in batches, so today I am doing as much TiaT as I can.
Happy Vulf

Thank you, yeah I will do a super simplified version but I want to include the torso drawing
because that really helped me.

A friend of mine showed me pictures of a portrait drawing class he did with kids and I was
surprised how well they understood the Loomis head. A different friend had a drawing class
and he said that didn´t want to learn anything at all and just wanted to draw like they were
always drawing. I hope I´ll have some kids who are motivated to learn

[bunny]

Thank u The problem is, this is as far as im gonna get with this piece without me getting tired of it I can clean some edges try to liquefy some areas to fix stuff but thats it. I dunno how to take it a step further Maybe I should try looking at other people's art style and recreate it maybe ill understand stuff

Happy Vulfgaar!
I've always been cuirious about how the nature of drawings look when they're done in batches

[Bella_Artz]

Lil sketch of something the fasting period inspired.

[bunny]

Love your color palettes dude! They're always so vibrant and warm The kids have distinct personalities(I used to be the sleepy one as a kid now I enjoy looking from the window and listening to music ) and they're adorable!

[Kelheor]

@bunny it's always ok to not finish something/leave it for later ^^ I am trying to get into more efficient drawing too now

@l_vi aw it's so sunny! I love how you're using all those summertime colors, they have such a lovely bright vibe

@LCT_m_a_d I honestly don't know if I do it right, but it never really worked for me, because I am getting tired of doing one thing for a long time, like only sketching episodes or only lining but the general idea is the same, I just sketched 7 episodes that I know are definitely planned and then proceeded lining them, just how I would usually do. Maybe I need to be more careful and track if the characters look right, because one thing is drawing them wrong in one episode prepared right on the publishing date, another is having a bad faces day and finishing lining a few episodes in this mood xD

[KennethLopezJr921]

I remade a drawing I did back in 2020 that I forgot existed

[l_vi]

@bunny Thank you! I don't know much about color theory anyway, just put the colors, and see how it goes on

They're always so vibrant and warm

My old works looks like stiff and boring, so i push myself to make brighter, vivid color arts, and try to not think about too much okay/not okay thingy when i put colors.

Btw, I like how you render the skin. It's so fine.

@Kelheor

love how you're using all those summertime colors, they have such a lovely bright vibe

Feels really nostalgic for me, i love summer, and summer days vibe , except the heat of the sun and the temperature is too high for me here, where i live. I always get sunburnt...

Aand sorry for my broken english, i understand quite well, and speak okay, but my grammar is so bad.

[Kelheor]

Please don't worry, I am pretty sure half of us here are not native English speakers

[EncryptedWriting]

First two faces done out of like 12 ;’)

2nd face still needs tweaking but eh that’s for later

[Katzalcoatl]

Nice.

Gotta love some withcy/vampire vibes. Plus red dresses.

[Lensing]

I´m doing more step by step drawings breaking down characters in easy to draw shapes.
The workshops that I´m doing will only be 10 hours long over 3 days, so it doesn´t make any
sense to teach theory. I announced on my facebook that I will publish the tutorials in a book
and there was quite some interest for it, from a lot of old people

[Aeroyeen]

Nothing much new to share, but I do have this

[bulgariansumo]

A messy thumbnail of my tallest characters. Kenji (6'0" / 183cm), Mai (6'1" / 186cm), Aiden (6'2" / 188cm), and Nicky (6'4" / 193cm).

[LCT_m_a_d]

I'm not sure if it's a western comic art thing, but there was for a long while many debates over skipping roughs, which would be the pass of making corrections and proportional adjustments across the board. A lot of artists skip the rough art phase because they stylistic approach characters proportions (or don't care), and the detail is going to get covered up by inker and colors, plus the style is extra minimalist. Not sure how much of a difference it makes having a separate penciler vs inker vs colorer, and how tight and Shift-left approach.
