been super addicted to Makeup (Kashii Moimi) rn. like i haven't stopped listening to it.
When I say addicted, i mean ADDICTED. Yesterday, while finishing up the sketches for the comic (which, yes, i have completed!! I need to clean it up and do some panels that i've been super lazy to do.) I listened to it for a good... 2 hours on loop? I think that by sharing it on a server I also changed a friend's life .
I am taking a break today because I wanted to play Tears of the Kingdom, except it's still being delievered so I won't be able to play it for a while. I don't really mind.
While waiting I did see an oomf tweet about wanting to see Seiji in a cow bikini and I shared the feeling so I decided to take matters into my own hands and draw that myself!!!
Except, once I finished it and looked at it, it feels like.. so .. um.. well, I like it, but I think other people might not....?
I got that feeling right at the end because I wanted to use perspective a bit more; which works well. I'm just very unsure since I didn't leave myself any time like I usually do.
My usual workflow being; draw the sketch; stop drawing and go back to it in a few hours (or the next day, usually); and then actually fix everything and do the colors+shading whenever.
But I've been feeling so confident lately because I've been able to draw characters more consistently; as starting from the hair actually is pleasing me a lot.
Draw the initial sketch with body + head shape; place the hair to have a good sense of where the facial features should be placed with perspective in mind.
I've been including perspective way more in my thought, probably due to me realizing a lot that when I draw IRL, I tend to overlook perspective and to think that I know how to draw everything I see.
That's what a teacher told me and I agree a lot, i tend to look at a thing quickly, and overlook what it actually looks like.
That class was super good because it made me notice that I did improve Massively from last year. Well; drawing almost everyday will do that to you! That comic is exhausting to do, but it does make me get used to drawing characters quickly; And I think that's the last spark I needed to actually feel like i can start doing some 2D frame-by-frame animation.
Might try to get into it soon! Teru's going to be my first animation, lolz
(the Seiji drawing i mentioned is up you know where, if you want to make your own opinion over it.)
