You are rad-ish - Process + Speed Drawing

in Sketchbook3 years ago (edited)

Another commission, this one included design elements again! I got a reference but had to draw a slightly different form for them.

I made two versions because one of them was supposed to have insect-like eyes.

The sketch was pretty rough as always! I was mostly focused on figuring out how much neck fluff I wanted and if the leaves were growing from below them or were coming out of the fur.

Lineart worked out pretty well today, my hand felt steady enough and I didn't have to correct a lot of them. I was playing around with the eye and head sizes for a bit though.

Flat color! I like these colors, they are muted and earty while still popping due to their contrast.

And then of course shading. I'm getting better at shading fur but I can never quite settle on one shading style for it. I kinda just go with the flow and look how much detail in the fuir suits the character. HIghlight, colored lineart, done! I'm happy with the result.

Nice @shinpurple! I've missed your posts on actifit so I thought I'd go looking for you. Take care!

Oh that's sweet of you, thanks!
I'm currently resting bc of my covid booster and slight fever

Ahhh; I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but this too shall pass and soon I hope. Take care my friend and don't over do too soon. That might not be good.

I'm going on a hike tomorrow on some trails that are going to be new to me. They still require hiking to the end of our road and going up from there. I love to capture mushrooms in pictures, so that's what I'm going to look for.

Take care my friend and have a good weekend!
