Been busy, haven’t had much time to draw the past few days, but I’ve been working on this character from an illustrated novel idea I have…

It’s been hard to get back into doing environments. I followed @marcbrunet.bsky.social ‘s fantasy environment video though and think this came out okay, need to do more of these…

Happy with the colors here. Wish I’d used a lighting reference for this one though. Usually I use magic poser web but didn’t bother this time.

trying to work on faces and eyes a bit, ended up using this as an excuse to practice coloring and try some different effects. Not sure I understand #procreate bloom filter….

tried a different way of shading, not sure if I like how it came out. A little too 90s cell shading for my taste…

Let redo this, had to make some color corrections…
I tried inking this one, even though I like the look of the MBLegendary brush, this looks a lot cleaner and was easier to color. Ink brush also great for AO shadows

More color practice, kimono took forever, I tried to do a summer themed image, but I feel more confident about shading this way. Have to try doing backgrounds one of these days…

A million times this.
I was at my most miserable with my webcomic when I aimed to go with what I thought would be popular, rather than just drawing what I enjoyed.

Make stuff you wanna make, not stuff you think will be popular, otherwise you’ll be chasing a fickle algorithm forever.

started another drawing of Bramble. You can see where I had the most trouble in the red lines, trying to keep the sketch loose so I can get rid of the lines when I color it.

Fucking finally it is there in plain writing. It often felt like this basic fact was overlooked in the debate. Before we even talk about what is "transformative" or not, or whether AI slop could compete with human works, the fact is that it's infringement to collect all these works for training.

A late night sketch of my elf character for my project. Students have tests next week so there has been no clubs this week.

New drawing I've been working on during bukatsu. Trying to see if I can do the "loose drawings in pencil then draw in ink" thing.
