Description

26. Draw anything with animals. If you usually draw these often, draw an animal you have never EVER drawn before.


THIS TOOK AN ETERNITY TO DRAW. GOSH.
I mean, yeah yeah, I know, there's nothing much going on in there, really simple background, only five figures of which three are quite cartoony and all, but.. what the heck, I spent almost a week drawing this. Talk about training oneself to concentrate >8''D
Okay, I blame partly one tutorial that taught me that digital painting process doesn't stop after the coloring part, since after that the real thing actually starts - the painting. Now I feel pretty stupid, but enlightened!


Okay.. At first I was planning on doing this for the theme "Draw something girly", hence the cutified (ah what a word) spirit animals and lolita-kimonoish costume. And that cute little ribbon on Waffle Rhode's ear <3 But then.. I started to color this. I tried different variations with Anne's kimono, ranging from magneta to light blue and sakura pedals.. but as I continued, I started slowly form a bit more story behind her, quite disturbingly making this picture made purely for trolling, fun and experiment to be something that could actually happen. Seriously brains, wat.

Oh, and please tell me if you spot something terrible on those animals. I must admit that I haven't yet paid that much attention on their anatomies and such in general, focusing mostly on human characters, so.. I finally though that it's about the time to step out of my comfort zone and start to practice them too. Thank you google for all the references~! <3

Ahh, so this is ready at last!

That ribbon's color really doesn't really make Waffle all that convincing. Or maybe that ribbon in general. Actually, I think that's the point. Hmh...
Well done on the costume! I can't figure out how you manage to do this again and again. I only know how to draw that one shirt with the stiches in the neckline... And she's very *****ble-looking too. Congratz!

Wait... is she gonna land knees first...? Ouch!

Dangit, you inspire me so much to draw something myself...!
Also, squirrel.... in a... battle...? Oh, it must cause so much damage to the enemy. WAIT WHAT?? TWENTY HOURS!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??

Oh, thank you so much~!

And hey, com'ere mah bwoi, I let you on a secret: If I didn't use any references, every one of my characters would be doomed to cosplay Julian for eternity 8''D So Google's my saviour~ And Pinterest too! For example for Anne's costume I only briefly knew what sort of style I was going after, and then I started to seek for references. I found three nice dresses, that I sort of combined and made up the colors for it as I went~

..... And Waffle's gonna land on his stomach. My heroes

THEN DRAW DANGIT!!

Yup. That's the most badass squirrel in the whole universe. You don't want to face him. Trust me

Asdfght I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE THESE LOOK DECENT BY WASTING MY LIFE, ALRIGHT
