#drawing whatever came to mind
Her hair is a jumbled mess because I was inspired to draw after seeing a Cammy White sketch on pinterest. And then my friend sent me yugioh memes. And then I was thinking about Layla from Genshin
rip her ears, idk where they went
art is hard😞

Went from sketch (⬅️) to half-rendered (➡️) in the past few hours, I'm tired
I should focus on fixing up the hair and calling it a day

I did an art process study by following a video by Marc Brunet (bluefley). I really love the expression he painted and I wanted to try to see what I could learn. Thoughts below.

I was inspired by __lu.e3 to draw something way more fluid and intuitive. I've mostly treated drawing like deconstructing industrial art process. so this was very different.
...I mean, I'M not happy with it, but the point was to let go, so, you know, mission accomplished.

I tried painting the lights-to-shadows turning the other way on the color wheel. Mostly failed.
But the warm/cool range shifted from orange-blue to yellow-indigo. idk how to make sense of that

It's crazy that making art is so meditative.
I went back to this and rendered it some, since I'm on break...I like it better but eh?

Drawing generic anime heads! Sucrose!
I went for a more cutesy style. I feel like I did okay! And it took me less than 1.5 hours
I'm practicing this to learn basic principles of art, to help me when making game assets.

When people say write/draw every day, they put the cart before the horse.
I think people want to carve out time to engage with what's meaningful to them, and they just need to see how the daily practice connects.

I want more eyes on my work. As many do.
I'm trying to keep in mind that there is no shortcut. The experiences I'm having now are going to be some of the most important ones in my journey. And I won't be able to internalize it all until I can look back at myself and reflect on things.

#genshin #fanart experience:
1. I cannot find an accurate reference.
2. Her dress makes no physical sense.
3. These clothes cover nothing. How is she not cold.

I wanna post about my gamedev journey but I also just kinda wanna get stuff done🤮
Today I'm remaking my overworld assets so that they conform to the unitary tiles of my isometric overworld.
I learned aseprite interpolates big brushes unevenly when snapping to grid.

ohhh I GET IT now. this #sketch went way faster and looks way better (2hrs)
Broke down major pieces of the target I want to draw
Built out a sketch that matches intended motion, silhouette, harmonic balance, framing, etc
Practicing forms = tool, ≠ goal

Today I learned that when I ask for help, I accidentally frame it like
'diagnose what's wrong with me'
And people answer the prompt.
Which would explain why I’ve been interpreting advice as attacks on my basic competency for...my whole dang life.

Any tips for prototyping #art faster?
I'm spending too much time constructing anatomy, prob because it's what I'm familiar with.
Even with this, I like the pose a lot, but it feels like I'll make the gestures unreadable adapting this to a character...

Does anyone like any part of this?
I feel like I'm losing it. I was trying super hard to study anime style so I could draw beautifully detailed characters. I really love that style, but it takes so freaking long to make. So I drew this instead.

Today I'm defining my gameplay loops. The player fights enemies, wins, then what?
But I'm so freaking tired. Not enough sleep, full day of meetings+research, I barely made it through. I'm only doing gamedev cuz it's more rewarding than playing some game
