Small Log #70

I've been experimenting with traditional drawing again!

Small Log #69

So, it's been a while since I was last active on the internet… my bad ^^;

It's nothing to worry about, though -- we were just visiting the family at the Philippines and I was sharing my dad's work laptop with him. I also wanted to focus more on socialising rather than just spending time on my phone, haha.

Anyways, I've been home for a couple weeks now and I'm also officially a uni graduate (which is pretty exciting!). That means I've got so much time on my hands now to draw, work on my projects, and also go job-hunting.

A time they went crabbing. This should last the twelve of them a couple dinners if they're lucky. Felix is trying to convince everyone it's about time to pull up one of the nets.

No blur under the cut:

I wanted to draw my OCs some more, so I compiled a bunch of old home pictures to draw them over.

Here's the first one: Grace was eating a lollipop which made her tongue a different colour, and so she decided to take a selfie :D

Update on 'Project: Mydan'

I'll admit, when it comes to working on Project: Mydan  I've deliberately decided to put off drawing it for some time. I've done it for one

12F.Ave Lineup

If any of my followers who's been around since the beginning still remembers these guys, holy crap.

Anyways, this is now for a comic strips/series of short comics project titled ‘Gone Unsupervised!’ and also for my reference when I draw them in general.

These characters have been with me for over 10 years now and this may be the first time I've actually done a lineup of them digitally, haha.

Extras below:

Seriously, who are some of these guys without their outer garments? xD

Interesting how much clothes can make up a character's identity. I think they still each have their own unique look to them, even without their outfits.

So I haven’t done a digital lineup like this ever. Here are the next best things though for fun, stuff from mid-late 2014 & December 2015-January 2016

The first thing I drew digitally of them, ever.

Something old I drew, for an abandoned comic

12F.Ave Lineup WIP #11

Worked on the jackets today and also updated the colours. I think my work here is finally done!

Trying to figure how hoods worked. I mean, I’ve been drawing them for ages, but I never actually took a look at how they actually were constructed.

Also, I attempted to give Dustine her sleeveless hoodie, but I decided it wasn’t working out.

Here’s Leon and his parka :D it was pretty cool to figure this one out

Trying to decide on Ben 2.0’s colours was pretty hard. Two of the colours I associate with him are indigo, purple and brown. Kind of an odd bunch, but I think I’ve made it work out somehow, and captured his essence

Unfortunately, there’s no WIP pic of French and her plaid shirt and Eric’s long jacket…

Marina with bell bottoms! This was kind of half-assed, so I’ll do a better attempt later in the future, haha…

Here’s them in their full outfits :D Finally!

Also, you may have noticed that I’ve changed some of the colours slightly. Mostly saturation stuff, to be more consistent.

Anyways, here we are! :D Done!

12F.Ave Lineup WIP #10

I finished the first layers today. All that’s left are the jackets/coats/jumpers/whatever

Before we begin, I want to show this small Jaqui doodle that I forgot to show yesterday, haha

Anyways

Her name is Melanie, so why not make the colours allude to her name’s soundalike? x’D

Ironically, her favourite fruit is rock melon/cantaloupe

It took me a while to decide what sort of thing should go on Dustine’s shirt, but I suddenly remembered one of the first inspirations to her character’s aesthetic.

Stuff like this:

Also, I wanted Eric to have more red, an intense colour to match his personality. Yellow is definitely not for him, haha.

Suppose, the orange and yellow suited the vision I had for his very first concept (you’d never guess, but it was ‘happy-go-lucky’),

but the brown jacket gives a little edge and kinda makes him look more desert themed (especially since I made it longer).

I took the outfit from Peter from Wii Music haha

Anyways, here’s who’s left to deal with

And here’s the actual image :D

Not gonna lie, I’ve been contemplating giving Marina one of them jeans with bell bottoms. I remember drawing her wearing those a lot, and it was quite particular to her character, at least at the time. I might make a version with that later.

12F.Ave Lineup WIP #9

I’ve finished the lines for many of their outfits, and at least the first layer/undergarments for those who wear jackets/jumpers/whatever.

(Especially weird to see Leon without a hoodie or a parka)

You can get a little bit more sense of their personalities, now too. Some of them, I’ve gone back to what I initially dressed them up in back in their earliest designs, some others I’ve changed to suit their personalities better.

Clothing folds are hard, even in my art style, where things are drawn more simplified than reality. You can see how I’ve avoided the more realistic clothing folds to be consistent with how I draw. I guess, the goal is, as long as it looks like there’s space beneath the clothes, then it works.

Actually, half the time I was cursing at myself for designing Barley with baggy clothing.

(Also ignore the document title, which is now irrelevant because I saved it when they were just in those numbered singlets and shorts, haha)

I’ve done some colour dropping from some of my older drawings (with slight adjustments). Since many of my older drawings never really showed the waist down, I haven’t really coloured in any of their pants, yet. But, here are their upper garments, so far.

Also, it some time to realise that Eric without his jacket makes him dress similar to Lucas from MOTHER 3, haha.

Some bonuses: Ben and then Ben 2.0
