Llyren Face Sketches
Ahhh, I’ve missed you, Llyren! <3
I’ve been trying to make some art for my book lately. Here’s a little something I was able to create. It’s one of my main characters from Dreams Enfolding. Just some sketches.
Fun Creature Doodles
Sometimes I sketch for fun.Sometimes I sketch a lot of weird things for fun.
Behold the strange creations of my brain!
See, I don’t only draw people. Sometimes I draw vegetables with legs and other great stuff like that.
Spirit Bond Line art: pages 4, 5, 6
Spirit Bond- New Pages Sketches- 5
Here’s the next page. I also edited all the previous pages to make them more awesome based on a critique I had. I’ll post those later.
Spirit Bond- New Page Sketches- Pages 3 and 4
Here’s the next two Spirit Bond Thumbnails. Pretty messy. Making comics is hard. I have a lot to learn. I’m getting there, though.
Seriously. These are messy, icky thumbnails. I should, like…. learn how to make my quick pictures a little prettier. And more legible.
Spirit Bond- Character Redesign in Progress
I’ve taken up the challenge I issued for myself back in January about pushing character design. This is still very much in progress, but I feel great about a lot of the changes I’ve made. I’ll start with the awesomest of them all.
Mango is looking pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself.
Next up is Araya! I think I finally found an outfit that just seems spot on for her. I’m so pleased.
I also doodled Lauren in her new outfit, and messed with her face style and body type. I’m still not totally satisfied, buuuut… *big shrug*
And lastly… the guy i wanted to make the most progress with… I haven’t quite figured out. Truth be told, the more I broaden Kay’s shoulders and manly-fy him, the less I like him. I might have to make him more unique in a different direction, haha… But just so you know that I’ve been trying, here’s the latest image (with a bald Araya, Kay and Mango in the back ground to compare heights).
I just realized that it’s been a long time since I’ve drawn Kaipo. I hope he’s not off in a corner somewhere crying. Don’t worry Kaipo, love, you are not forgotten!
Araya- Action Poses
Here are some action poses I tried with Araya. It just occured to me that she’s not happy in a single one of these poses. Yep. That just about sums Araya up.
Araya- Expression Sheet
Figuring out expressions for your character is when they really start to come a live.I’ve a got a long way to go, but this is what I’ve got for Araya for now.
I guess she’s kind of naked. I think it weirded out my teacher. But, what can I say? I dunno why, but I love drawing shoulders. Shoulders are beautiful.
Spirit Bond- Araya thumbnails
For my Entertainment Illustration class, my teacher challenged me to really experiment and find the best design for the main character of my comic, Spirit Bond. So I really messed around with he design, and in the process made these thumbnails. It’s funny that they look to old to me now, even though it’s only been a month since I made them.
Looking back on old art can make you feel really good about yourself as you realize all the progress you have made. You get to say, “Hey! my work really is paying off, isn’t it.” Or you might just laugh and say, “Wow, I used to draw really manly jaws on my girl characters, haha!”
Doing character design thumbnails always helps, even if you think you’ve already got the design you want. Everytime I do this, I find something better.
After making these, I decided to give her shorter hair to fit her personality a bit better, and I changed her eyes from green to blue, because I there’s going to be a lot of fire in Spirit Bond and blue/orange is a cool color scheme.
