Description 's OC Delilah, as part of our art trade.

I used a reference for her pose, which I should do more because usually I get annoyed when I try full figures in poses. The reference helped me keep the hate for drawing anantomy away I guess, but I guess I'll have to not rely too much on references.

She is a cool OC, really. I liked drawing her, but I think I over-inked her hair. This was fun. I probably enjoy drawing others' OCs over my own. At least finished drawings of other people's OCs are produced, since I know it's for someone else. When it's my OCs, I never bother to finish. I think her school jacket's too light.

I did like trying to draw Delilah face in my style.

I hope you like it.

Nice, like the pose, reference is always a good way of bettering your art (especially when practicing anatomy), really know what you mean about finishing others people's OCs instead of your own. Any way good work.

Thank you! I think I really will try using as much references as I can when going for more serious pieces or at least finished pieces, until I get a better grasp of the anatomy. Getting anatomy right without using references in this early stage of improvement is like trying to put together a 5000 pieced puzzle without seeing the box cover. I think I just need to stop guessing how the body is drawn, like I usually do.

Nice to see you thinking about anatomy that way, I know allot of people who don't. keep it up.

Thanks! I think about it a lot like that, but sadly I barely have time to follow and practice! Sometimes I just struggle an make anatomy up when I'm far from a computer... or google, lol. D:

Sweetjumpingjesus ;____; Her smolder is so smolderingly hot ;______; Honestly, thank you for taking the time and making her look super awesome! Her features in your style look absolutely gorgeous, by the way ;____; ♥ Ughughugh thank you again, so much! I'll try and finish your trade to be just as awesome as this (you deserve it) ♥

Your trade is actually more awesome to the infinite power!!

I'm really glad you like it! This was one of the best trades ever I had with anyone! (Shhhh, don't tell my other art traders.)I really enjoyed drawing her. I actually started reading your comic on SJ last week, so it doubles as fan art enjoyment. (Grr, I wish I had more time to reach where you last posted. Stupid school.)

Hahah aww that's mighty sweet of you ;; And I'm surprised you like the comic, a lot of my friends think it's getting too dark and creepy (lolwat). But anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed the trade and my little crackhead comic >w<

Lol, maybe I just like dark and crakhead! Lol! But I like the characters, too! It's a good comic to read, really.

Thank you! I wouldn't say my shading is heavnenly, but I guess my improvement is sllloowwwlly starting to peak through. Inking and colouring neatly is still a huge problem for me, though.

....................................
Expect many requests from me, soon... MANY requests...
As soon as I put up some more original characters... I have plenty, but I haven't been able to draw for a while... I don't even have time to check this site & post things without having to invest more late hours into my homework...

jacobsmacob In reply to Kurohitsuji96 [2011-02-24 00:02:10 +0000 UTC]

Lol, hold on. Lol, I cannot take many requests, sorry. I'll announce art trading in a journal later this week, though. (One per person, sorry.) I'm pretty busy with school myself, too, and other people's OC drawings are really just a way of pushing myself to practice drawing techniques and patience. But, I don't mind doing trades with you.

And don't worry, you don't even have to upload drawings of them for me, references and descriptions are fine. (I'll tell you more on the terms of the art trade in the journal when I post it. )
