Aww, no, don't be sorry! You can ask me pretty much anything ^^
I used to try to use references, but it just never worked for me. I still sometimes will try to find and use a reference when I just can't think of how something should look, but I pretty much always end up looking through pages of images that are "not quite right", it might sometimes help me get the idea more clear in my head, but I never end up using a direct reference. I work very backwards. I generally don't even start with a solid idea; I don't really "see" things in my head. I kind of just add things in as I go, I'll draw one object, it'll make me think of an other object or a place I've been, and that'll give me a clearer idea how I want the setting to be and feel.
Like in this specific drawing, I had just the vague idea that I know they live in some type of run old abandoned place at least partially under ground. Up until I drew this, I was leaning towards it being an old bomb shelter left over from the 50's/60', but as I was drawing it as that, the aesthetic was just wrong. I started leaning just towards a normal basement or cellar. I added in that cooler, because I know they have a fridge of some sort. I added the wall paper because I wanted to keep it very dated, old, and obviously not originally theirs. Eventually I got to the point where I've decided that it's the basement of an old house built in the 40'-60's but the rest of the house is destroyed, all that remains is the basement.
Augh, that is a very long explanation... I'm not good at explaining things simply XD

oh wow thank you this is actually super helpful!! I like the idea of just letting myself draw and adding stuff/changing stuff as i go! I'm super into the post-apocalyptic or abandoned looking scenery (writing my own comic/story in this type of universe haha)

Your style is really cool.
I really like how the wallpaper is peeling off the wall. It adds to the brokenness of the drawing.

Thank you! ^^
Honestly, that wall paper is actually what saved this from just getting scrapped half way through. Before I added that in, it was just so drab and nothing but grey and brown, and I was starting to hate it. So, I'm really glad hear that. :3

That's nice to know. The wallpaper is the first thing I noticed because I find the pattern really pretty.

Man, I can just hear Handwing saying, "You know what, fuck you, man. You don't know what it's like."

OMGitsSomething In reply to BritneyMorgan [2016-03-21 05:42:22 +0000 UTC]
Swap out "fuck you, man." to "fuck you, Kid." and you've pretty much nailed it. even though Vilkas totally does know what it's like, and Handwing really ought to realize that by now.
