More art! More art! MORE ART!
Yaaaay so here is another, This is Piya. Probably one of the first characters I made for D&D and has been waiting in the wings until I got the chance to play her, as such she is a rather common build of wood elven ranger, but still very enjoyable to play due to her being an extremely shy usually, but also a closeted adrenaline junkie.Â
So stuff I like here, I like how the background and lighting effects came out, although I might still play around with them a bit to fine tune them, I think the face is better than last time, but only because its a bit simpler what with the eyes being shut and all that. I would like to add a little more detail, but every attempt I made at that never really looked right and I am happy with how she looks with the simple format. Iâm also quite happy with the braid and the pose specifically because to my eye I have had some success in including gravity and a illusion of weight to it, if not a very sophisticated one.
Stuff to work on would be first and foremost, how long it takes me to do aaaanything, I know this is going to get better with practice and once I learn Clip studio and its various tools a bit more thoroughly aaaaand when I finally get around to drawing something simple, which spoilers, wonât be my next project either, although more on that in a bit. So far, in drawing my D&D characters I have not managed to finish one of them while still playing them, despite starting to draw them while playing, both campaigns ended before I was finished.
Im not 100% a fan of the leaves or trees in the background, Iâll have to find a way to do mass complicated things like that more accurately, I think that one is mostly going to come down to using the tools available better as I still donât know what half of them do. And the bow and arrows and to some extent the boots were a bit rushed, but that should be less of a problem when I learn to do things faster and get less of a feeling of just wanting to be done in the end.
Also I realized during this one that I have yet to draw the same face twice from different angles, and I suspect that it might be quite difficult for me to keep it consistent, but thatâs a problem to solve when I switch to simpler practice drawings.
Next I will be working on a scene from the final session of the campaign that Piya was in, Iâm toying with the idea of doing something that is less reliant on black border lines, but Iâm going to try be flexible about it. It is once again... not the simple practice that I think I need to improve faster, but like, it was a cool moment to me, and I started learning to draw so I could draw stuff like that, so... fuck it, lets do it! XD
More definitely to follow.
P.S If there are and artisty people out there who think of any immediate feedback for me to think about I would welcome itÂ
