I learn how to draw

Hi I am Finn and I am tryint to learn how to draw. She/He/They pronouns.

The Θεια Κρίση, my mech in an upcoming game of Lancer This was just a quick scetch and so not what I normally do that I don’t feel like I should judge myself too harshly for it (also I haven’t drawn anything in almost a year). Obviously lines are too hard and I still can’t draw swords (what not drawing for a long time didn’t magically give me the ability to draw sowrds who would have thought)

Maxtra, Bard

First time I drew a character for the second time and... eh. The shoes could be better, the arms are kinda weird and the legs are just all kinds of screwy. I couldn’t remember how I did her skin color last time so now she looks a bit different which also kinda bothers me. Her six-pack looks a bit too small and that line there is supposed to be a scar which kinda doesn’t look right.

High Wizard Ma’va’le

This turned out really well! I tried something else with the nose and I like it. The wand and the dagger could be better, but apart from that, wow, I really like this. Oh, and the hands could also use some work.

Finch, Sprite Barbarian

I tried something different for the nose for once, I don’t like it. The pose and the head shape are kind of weird. I like how the sword and sickle turned out.

Unnamed Character (There’s a Fey Barbarian subclass now and Jeremy Crawford said a bag of holding could be a purse and things just kind of escalated from there)

Don’t really have much to say. It being 3 am might be one reason for that. I am glad to have drawn something again for once.

Vulen, Asshole Kraul Warrior

My first non-humanoid (Well, not in D&D terms but whatever). The lack of humanoid features removed most things I usually screw up (noses) and the fact that there’s very few official Kraul art that all widely differs gave me a lot of freedom with the design. Overall mostly happy with it. The only thing that really bothers me is the lower body. I wanted it to look a bit like the body of Mazirek, but I am not very experienced with perspective so it looks more like a messed up 7th limb.

Brezo, Librarian and mother of Rashimar

I honestly have no idea how I got the idea “Hey I should draw my character’s mother” but here we are. Don’t know what to say that I haven’t said a lot already. Better nose, better shading (especially the breasts). You can’t see it in this picture but the drawing is ridiculously small. All in all, pretty alright drawing.

Vraska is also very pleased to meet you, Hekara

No nudity, but full image is very clearly 2 people having sex. Full image below cut.

( I jokingly asked on a discord server if Hekara leaves her bells on during sexy time and things kind of escalated from there)

Considering this is my first lewd drawing, I am pretty content with it. I was a bit nervous and put on too much pressure with the pencil, which is visible in the final piece, unfortunately. Also, one day I will learn to draw noses...

Hekara’s arms are way too long but I wanted her to touch Vraska’s “hair”. 

This was a lot of new for me. Obviously the first time I drew something lewd, but also the first time I drew someone kneeling and the first time I had so many layers (Hekara’s arm over Vraska’s arm over Hekara’s head over Vraska’s body).

Hekara, Rakdos Witch

The nose. The proportions. The shading for the breasts. Those are the main 3 points I don’t like about this (especially the nose). And of course there’s a lot of general quality I can improve on.

All that aside, I am, again, proud of this. I think I am the first person who ever drew her. And I think this is good enough for me to use it in my upcoming homebrews. Considering “I want to save on commission money” was one of the reasons I started drawing, that’s a bit of a milestone.

I made a transparent version! Turns out it’s pretty easy to do if you are willing to not have the perfect quality

The King in Yellow

Tried to do some background stuff this time. Didn't really work out. Apart from that, I am pretty happy with how this turned out. The tatters also could have been better.

Crown Prince Aanish, and his brother, Prince Vaaloth

Not happy with how either of the swords turned out. Aanish’s is supposed to radiate divine light, instead, you barely see anything. Vaaloth’s is supposed to be flaming, instead, it looks like I’m bad at coloring. I am definitely getting better at noses and hands but I still have a long way to go. Their eyes are supposed to be pure white but thanks to their skin being close to pure white, there’s no contrast so it doesn’t really work (maybe I should have used a white crayon). Their wheelchairs forced me to draw them sitting, boots facing forward instead of my go-to pose. I am not happy with how either their boots or their wheelchairs turned out. I wanted to add some detail to their wings, but that didn’t really work out so I stopped. Aanish’s clothes are supposed to be plain, but this is a bit too plain. Vaaloth’s armor is a bit weird but overall alright.

Captain Maxtra, Witch

Her breasts are too different from each other and the left one is bigger than I was going for. Her eyes are kind of messed up. Instead of having a smug smile, it looks dorky. Her legs are too short. Her one arm has a big biceps (a bit too big as well), the other has a strong shoulder, but both should have both. I need to get a fineliner to do contours. I was going for curly hair and that didn’t quite work out. Still a lot to improve in regards to nose and hands. The entire drawing is too small because I started out too small.

Despite all of this, I think I am really improving. This looks way better than I had ever hoped to draw just a few months ago. If I keep going, I will be able to draw something that I am satisfied with at some point.

I read all of your asks with tips and encouragement and I like them a lot, I am not answering them because this way I can more easily access them

Umra Do’lyl, Gladiator

Rashimar’s design allowed me to cheat on a lot of things: hair, nose, ears, lips, legs… All things I had to do for Umra. Overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I got much better at not applying too much pressure. Lips and nose are terrible and whip and double-bladed scimitar could be much better. She also doesn’t look as muscular as I wanted her to look. Drawing Chain mail was a pain. Oh and the shape of her face is kind of messed up as well.

Rashimar, Golgari Artificer

Not bad for my first attempt in years to draw something. I need to improve a lot overall, but my main concern right now is that I need to not press too hard when drawing, you can still see the lines I erased before.
