Wanted to give you all an update on my #lorearts journey!
Here's the #dtiys of Jet Stream from JetX! Thanks so much to @crazylunaticxd.bsky.social for proposing this challenge and giving me the opportunity to try drawing Jet! \o/

So I tried out drawing all three of them together!
There'll be more about them to come, but I'm so happy that the three of them exist and I can learn to draw them over time! \o/

(2/3) I woke up today and decided that he deserved to have friends, since I got real nostalgic over Peanuts yesterday.
On the left, you have Immanuel and on the right you have Mina.
So far al I know about them is Immanuel represents the heart, and Mina represents the body while Alba is the spirit

(1/3) Hey!
Short time, forgot to update a bit sooner - I think. Yesterday was kind of a busy one and today's not gonna be much different, but I wanted to share what I did for #lorearts!
First, there's drawing Alba in different perspectives. I'm cycling between his black/brown hair lately, and

I tend to call him a cloud because of his hair, but he also has little stars on his hoodie strings and a crescent moon which I'm progressively learning to draw the actual shape of 😆
Depending on his mood, he's usually referred to as "x cloud" such as "angry cloud" Alba.

I hesitated on sharing this for a second but I'm proud of my lad!
This is Alba, and his entire concept/being was accidentally centered around sky/planetary themes. His original hair style didn't necessarily work because I was trying to replicate his actual hair type but in the wrong way.

So I'm winding down from IRL stuff, getting used to my new art glove and decided to put on a Jazzhop Cafe mix and draw for the entire duration. The video was about an hour long, and this is pretty much what I got done:
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm getting used to drawing

So, I got the notification that my artist glove from @bibicosplays.bsky.social was coming today! I was working on the comic I posted a minute ago and told myself if I went outside and it was there - I'd draw again...
AND GUESS WHAT?!
It's here! I love the fabric, and it fits me! I'm so happy!

(4/4) a story about Black boy joy.
Alba IS a Black boy, and I knew it from the beginning but as I was caught in learning how to draw him and all - I gradually began to uncover more pieces about him (the sky symbolism, the moon and stars, his cloudlike hair) etc.
This is so lovely, and here he is!

Morning! For my #lorearts practice, I decided to draw a couple more of Alba to get used to his mini design now. I think I'm sold on the colors, the design for his hoodie (although drawing that moon consistently will be hard). His hair still gives me troubles so I might try simplifying it further but

Okay! I have to speed run but my partner pretty much reminded me that I'm on a deadline and I've gotta figure out a way that's easy for me to draw Alba for comics but also conducive to my idea for him - so here's what I got!
He's a little messy but tbh I'm just glad that he's made!

Alright, for the end of #lorearts practice today - we have.. Alba in ghibli style! I'm still not sure how I want to draw him for the comics but this feels like I'm on the right track. Ghibli has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I'm inspired by so many different things

Gonna leave this one off here for today, I still got about an hour or so left of drawing practice time so I'm gonna transition into doing something else. I could probably work on drawing Alba or coloring that comic I'd made.

Alright, as screwy as it might appear, I'm actually feeling like I'm making some progress y'all - hear me out, lemme cook.
That hand?! The one to the top left, don't look at the other one 😂 - but that hand is the crispest one I've drawn since.. I started drawing hands like two days ago.

Alright, let's kick things off with morning #lorearts practice - I'm still working on that #dtiys for Jet and I'm not gonna lie... does anyone have any recs for good books on anatomy cause I'm gonna need to study up - WHAT ARE LIMBS?!
This is what I got so far, so I'm gonna try to work on the body.

Alright, it's about that time for me to try and get some sleep but one last #lorearts thing!
About seven months ago when I was a week into drawing, I decided to try out a #dtiys for bliboop's 20k celebration! And I'm still proud of it but I wanted to see how much I'd changed over the months!

So! I just finished reading JetX earlier today, and I wanted to really delve into the "draw this in your style" but I've gotta get a move on to my other projects. However, I couldn't leave the day without trying to draw my favorite character thus far:
Jet Stream! \o/ I'll probably draw

Forgot to put this out there but, I ended up finishing the artwork for the third panel. It actually came out pretty close to what I was expecting. I've gotta work on hands but I think I've found a new set of characters I'm interested in to do that with while I'm working on Alba's story!

(2/5) This morning, I decided to sit down and draw the second panel of the little welcome comic I wanted to make for Alba! \o/ I really need to get a tablet stand because this is doing numbers on my neck - but I'm happy with the progress.
Check it out! I've never drawn a character

(1/2) Alright, for my #lorearts practice for tonight -
We have the first ever comic panel I've done! Not much but I've definitely learned a lot about how to find/make frames, speech bubbles and placements and different tools atop of trying to be confident in a sketch of Alba in a panel.

Alright, character sheet done! I'm gonna learn how to draw chibis more consistently and hopefully how to draw bodies a little easier but ngl this was probably one of my most successful tries yet. As you can see, I did repeat a pose and I feel like I've gotten better at it!

Well, the countdown has started and I'm excited for what the future holds for real! I finished up my #lorearts second wind session, and I love this second drawing of Alba! \o/
He looks adorable but he's also much younger than I thought he would be which is giving me ideas for the comic.
