What do you LOVE to draw?

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

Hey folks. There was a thread a few days ago about what you HATE to draw, and although complaining and commiserating about the hard parts of making art is fun... I'm betting a lot of you enjoy drawing in general, even if there are some subjects you don't enjoy working on.

Well this is the opposite of that. What do you LOVE to draw? Did you start your comic partially so that you could draw a particular thing? Show off what you love drawing!

Folks are welcome to promote their comics if they desire, but it isn't required, and this isn't a sub-4-sub thread, so there are no obligations or expectations here. I just want to see your art!

For me, I enjoy expressions...

Hair...

Bladed weaponry...

And because I'm a weirdo, I actually really enjoy hands...

Clothing folds...

Environments...

And complicated lighting. (Such an art masochist...)

Most of these pieces are selections from my comic, Renegade Legends (including some bits from yet-unreleased pages!), which you can find here.

All right, now show me what YOU like to draw!!

Faces. I love drawing faces. I really enjoy doing different expressions and reactions. I also like drawing people in general, it's fun to figure out how to get the body to express what the character is thinking just as well as the face, just differently. Both are extremely important, and fun! I also like coming up with interesting clothing and accessories (weapons etc.). These would probably be my favorite things to draw, but I do enjoy drawing most things (excepting crowds). Also, I'd just like to say that a like your art style. It's refreshingly different then a-lot of styles I see out there!!!!

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

Aw, thank you! Sometimes I worry that it's too different, but that's refreshing to hear.

You should post some of yours! Show me some of these faces, clothes, and stuff you enjoy!

Oh, and of course... long haired dudes :'D

[Hexigate]

I love clouds

and dramatic lighting

and people and non-humans alike

and technology/machinery, particularly aircraft.

honestly I don't know what I don't enjoy drawing.

[crimson_mystery_cake]

I’m just here to admire your lovely art

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

@Llyrel As a person married to a long-haired dude, I approve mightily. <3

@Hexigate I don't see very many people who enjoy drawing technology, so it's cool to find someone who does. As far as things a lot of people don't like to draw... may I suggest crowd scenes?

@crimson_mystery_cake Yes good, come gawk at art with me!

Some of the things that I love drawing are dynamic poses and action, cartoonish facial expressions, glowy lighting (electricity in particular), weird/surreal creatures and detailed environments.

But as for my absolute 100% favourite thing to draw? That would be:

CROSS HATCHING

And just hatching in general. It's so, SO much fun for me to do. I can't get enough of it!

[Mallory]

I so hear you on complicated lighting... I just realized how much I love drawing it. Especially with back-lighting...

I also like reflective metal.

I like drawing cute/rounded shapes, even if I swear at myself later when I have to ink it...

I don't mind technology as long as I can draw it in a way that suits my style. I.e. drawing a Gundam would probably suck, but if I can draw a more organic/rounded mech, I'd be fine.

I like drawing hair, even though I often struggle with it. When it comes out right though, it's chef's kiss

I love drawing wide-eyed/puppy-eyed expressions (if that wasn't obvious from my comic).

I love drawing space

I love drawing lips

I love drawing hands even though I'm actually not so great at it.

[lomcia]

Kisses and aliens.
And when I do both - I'm fulfilled xD

[DelythThomasArt]

I can get behind that ^^/

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

@BarBarKetrab Aha, cross-hatching, my nemesis!! XD I kid. I appreciate your passion for hatching -- it always gave me hand cramps. Nicely done.

@Mallory secret handshake of the Complicated Lighting Club You do a good job with it. And your comic is the cutest thing! I'm enjoying it so far. (Even if it does remind me of candy, and therefore give me a massive sugar craving when I read it.)

@lomcia Two things I don't draw enough of-- especially aliens.

[joannekwan]

Buff guys

Monster guys

Guys in general

[FafasMcMelt]

[Legendofgenii]

Baby Gen.

[vapidink]

I love character art, especially fantasy stuff.

[gmaximin]

Abstract emotions with texture (it's very relaxing to draw...)
