more rendering lol... also a voltron OC!! i never see any Voltron fans it's so sad not one person has a CLUE how much I love voltron it's in my bones I've rewatched it like 10 times and if i had time i'd do it again

heads up, next post will be pretty raunchy (not my fault tbh the OC I'm drawing for an art trade has literally... like two strips of cloth for clothes)

erm not sure the name but ig Painter...? by @torrentialchaos

hope the details are right i couldn't make out some things

yes ik the character is grey but I can't help but add just a bit of color, if I'm gonna draw black or white you know it's not really gonna be black and white

love the blend brush man it gives so much texture

finished this yesterday but it was like 2 am so I'm posting it now

FINALLY something in my art style!! if you're wondering why a lot of my recent art is completely different art styles, it's because i match the simplicity of whoever's character im drawing, cuz i dont feel like i could take a simple design and draw it realistically with accuracy

however the original design of this dude is in fact very realistic so im able to match that realism

me when women: 😍🥵🥵🥵

me when men: 😍🥵🥵🥵

i know i've already said this but i just LOVE the blend brush man this painterly style is sooo good i feel FREE

also erm this was my FIRST SKETCH how is it so good i just cleaned it up a little and coloured it, maybe i gotta be more loose in order to get better at art, also i didnt use guidelines lol... i literally never use guidelines i just trust that i can see good enough

guys should i draw more men

i love SUITS

i think i've mentioned this before... but here is the FIRST depiction I've ever made of puma guy. i kid you not this is his original first design (I always intended him to be a human but I feel like a lot of the design elements for him make sense once you see this lol)

it's... its really bad ok theres a reason i draw instead of sew, obv pattern is not mine but I made this in a sewing class so if anyone knows the original pattern let me know, mine def looks warped compared to the original tho

honestly it was literally just for fun I just chose cloth patterns I liked, but who would know it would lead to this..

literally dont look at the stitches its all hand sewn I didn't use a sewing machine so its really uneven and janky

his shirt is literally a square piece of cloth that's kinda folded on the edges I didn't put any effort into it

i literally finished making this plushy and then I just had a vision flash in my head of him looking super cool... literally all my character designs come from just... images that pop into my head spontaneously

imagining his reaction lol

this actually looks fine even though i literally played badminton for 1 and a half hours straight and my arm hurts and is so weak rn

erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot

CHICKEN JOCKEYYY

i cannot escape from the brainrot

cool metal hand thing tho idk what's up with that

well this one took a more reasonable amount of time... 5 hours 😭

i loooove my square canvases man its the easiest way to do composition

ive literally just discovered the hack for shading and drawing hair and clothes and i cant stop thinking about it, it's so easyyy

Hello dear 👋❤️

"I am writing to you during one of the most difficult times my family has faced. Our home in Gaza was destroyed by war, and we are now living in a school that lacks the most basic necessities of life. As a father of three daughters, I am struggling to provide for them under these harsh conditions. 🏠💔

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. 🤍🙏"

I do not have any money, but I will share this and hope more people see this through my answer!

this was my first design of puma guy (technically second, one day I will share the handmade cat plushy OG version) erm... it's not very good lol, also from an artistic perspective... ngl find it crazy that this was less than a year and a half ago I improved like crazy!! also I couldn't draw buff people we don't talk about it I distinctly remembering him looking less weedy when I actually drew him idk

the space pattern sucks ew i've really stepped my game up on that too, face is also janky I was still slightly in my anime phase

messy lineart works but like... this is just messy and not in a cool way

its so washed out my art is so saturated now compared to this, this looks like a watercolour version where's all the pink my boy is PINK

shading is ehh i remember loving the skin and pants but it looks pretty flat and the blue... i didn't know what I was doing with that

i HATE the mouth idk it makes me uncomfortable

man it's so crazy to look at my old designs BEFORE I came up with distinct hairstyles for them

he looks like such a generic anime boy it's kinda funny

the basic things that changed is that he looks older, has curlier hair and looks a bit sleepier but I actually do tend to stick very closely with my original designs (even though I've created some of them when I was really young)
