Howdy!

Well, not much is happening here

I'm still coming up with and drawing new game-based characters and I'm slowly learning how to do digital with Medibang paint on my phone

Oh sweet, hope those both will go swell. Keep that awesome work flowing!

Personally I'm still on the traditional train, but have actually learned few tips & techniques from you recently, so that's a plus
Speaking of art, think it would cool if could commission soon?
Just really think your art is pure awesome

Sweetness, I'll give you a drawing (that a friend made for me) of my character 'Sandra' to use as a reference.
Just a fullbody with her standing around, smoking a cigarette. Nothing complex.

First of all, Thanks!

I don't know much... I just.. do it...


I am aware of a few of my tricks though, so here's a bunch

- Don't just use references for poses, but also for the items your characters may be holding or wearing, some objects may be complicated than you remember since we mainly just focus on their shapes, like a gun. For example, an AK-47. We all know what it shapes like, but there are surprisingly a lot of details on the gun, like hand guards are actually two separate parts, etc.

- If you're drawing clothes, try to visualize on what would it look like wearing it on your point of view and how can you move around with it. Also do this with items and weapons, try to visualize what would it look like holding it from your point of view. (Really, like, pretend you're actually holding it) Maybe it turns out that the stock of the rifle is too long, or the head of the staff is too high up, or the sleeves are too loose and wide, or the pockets are too far down, etc.


Now to actual art tricks

- Use thick and heavy lines to emphasize an object, the thicker it is, the more it will catch attention, while thin and softer lines for background or things that need the least interest, and if you want something to stand out, darken the background a bit while lighten what you want the viewers to actually see, especially when your color palette is extremely limited, which is exactly my case here. 

like what I did to the Ocean on His Shoulders drawing.



Notice how the shark guy is a lot more visible than the background in this thumbnail size, despite the overtly limited or even non-existent color variety and elaborate and detailed background? That's because I gave him thicker lines and lighter tone on a lot of things on his clothing to further separate him from the background.

- You can also create the fake "shine" effect by just adding thin piles of lines, then darker or heavier strips of the color, then slightly lightening the object a bit by just erasing it just a teeny, tiny, bit. Oh, make sure they all go on the same direction.

- If you're gonna color, don't just color in one direction. Make sure your coloring direction goes along the lines and shape of the object you're coloring, if you're gonna draw something that is actually curved.

Like what I did on the Costume Party drawing



Notice how the shading is a bit curved , especially on the character on the far right, making it look 3D a bit? Without the "color", the character would look flat, but now I color it, but a bit curved, it looks like the character is popping out.

- If you're gonna use pencil to "color", not shading, you can just rub the "colored" part with your thumb to soften it up and blend together. Don't push too hard though.

- Not sure if this is gonna work well with your drawings, but you can blacken with your pen the intensely dark corners of something or someone instead of just shading them along to create that smoother, darker, comic-style shade.


Welp... That's all I got!


Hope you find these tips useful!

*whistles* That actually makes quite a bit of since, you taught me some stuff here, and I had the impression that 10 years was enough for me to become a good artist.

You certainly know your stuff that is for sure.
