OCs I Made When I Was 10 (we're Moving Up From Age 9!)

Hello again, I’ve “finished” that drawing I asked you about a while ago! I think I’ll add some lettering to the bottom and make the green-lighted lady’s arms larger, but aside from that, what do you think I should revise? I also wanted to add a glitch effect to the characters at the top (for lore reasons), but I can’t tell if it looks horrible or not. I also am a bit worried about compositional readability.

Please let me know what you think! If context helps, this is a project which will be included in my school portfolio. Thank you for answering my ask before also ☺️

the glitch effect is cool, but id stick to red, white, and blue for the colours of the glitch, as the green looks out of place and muddy. the characters at the top are also very dark and at first glance I didn't see them at all. if they are meant to be hidden that's fine, but I just want to let you know they aren't very visible, so if that's not your intention id make them brighter or the lighting on them stronger.

the shading looks great for most of the characters but I cant understand where the light source is coming from for the yellow character on the right (not the one in the middle). the shading is also very soft, which for some surfaces makes sense, but in this drawing, everything is shaded very softly with an airbrush. id include some more hard edges in shading since those are important, especially in the face. there should definitely be harder shadows/highlights on the noses too. the hair needs harder highlights especially, all of the hair here looks very soft like a pillow, and not shiny like hair actually is. darker skin is also more reflective and has more contrasted shading, but in this art piece the lighter skin and the darker skin are shaded the same.

the strong coloured highlights really swallow up the colours of the characters clothes and skin, which is why I prefer to use multiply and overlay blend modes, since it retains the colour underneath all the shading.

if I blur my eyes and look at the drawing as a whole, the lightest and most eye-catching part of the drawing is in the middle with the white character, but it seems the characters in the very front should be more emphasised. so i'd say to make the bottom of the image even brighter, simply an overlay layer with a white airbrush can brighten it up, also putting the overlay over the characters at the very top can make them brighter, its a very easy fix.

the pink and light blue character's skintones are looking rather grey, a little bit more orange/red can help with this. i would say the grey character's skin also looks grey, but that's their colour so I'm not sure if that's intentional.

also I'm not sure if the white text is important, but I do want to point out that I have no clue what it says, I can't read it. (I see starry mask on the left, but what does it say on the right? I'm seeing "cplouge") also this is optional but I really like to do it and it adds a lot of life to art, just adding a small white highlight in the eyes

hope i helped!

rocks!!!

found a SUPER COOL rock today its green and red and striped and has some quartz crystals and white stripes i love rocks soooo much

also i have cinnamon bread its so yummy

who wants to do OC art trades?? DM me anytime!! bruh his name is puma guy cuz I still don't have any name ideas for him

yes its been open this whole time but I have some free time coming up and I want to draw! could've just reblogged this but uh idk

i've edited this ref so much it's not funny I hate the curse of having a super crisp imagination in my head cuz if something is wrong by one pixel and puma guy doesn't look EXACTLY how I envision him then I'll hack up the ref and completely restructure it so it matches as closely as possible with what I see in my head

also i gotta do more art trades because of how much I've changed my ref tbh I can't have ppl draw my OC based on a wrong ref I feel bad

sigh the shading pattern on my ref is SO messed up like what even is that

me when a man with long eyelashes and stubble

also i LOVE ALL YOUR GUYS OCS!!! everyone has such cool characters omg!!! i love reading OC lore its so fun

style study (not my usual art style) ~2 hours

art trades anyone?? i really want to draw something new (and get some nice art too) ill finish in 1-2 days, im really fast

Hello dear 👋❤️

"I am writing to you during one of the most difficult times my family has faced.

I understand that everyone has their own challenges, but if you find a place in your heart to offer any support, no matter how small, it would have a huge impact on our lives. Your generosity can bring hope to my family during these difficult times. 🤲❤️

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, kindness, and compassion. May Allah bless and reward you for all that you do. 🤍🙏"

LAST ART TRADE DONE LETS GOOOOOO 8 drawings in 4 days, im SO glad, im up to my artfight numbers (attack me in july btw i BEG i always revenge and and my username is LionRevolutionary)

ngl idk how im able to pump out good pieces consistently (although i did procrastinate on this one a bit but it wasnt completely my fault)

like my art is BETTER and more detailed than before yet it takes me quicker to do? blend brush feels like cheating tbh i render SO FAST with it

dont smoke guys

this drawing is lowkey giving that one pic of the caterpillar with the cigarette

this type of contrast is smth i dont usually do, but i was kinda forced to since the character is literally completely dark

im getting back into my habit of adding rimlight to every drawing someone stop me omg

lowkey coming back to my old rendering style with sketchy lines and rough shading i shouldnt have abandoned it
