more ref pics & rambling for the last oc x canon drawing, i rly thought the post was gonna get flagged or hidden or SOMETHING💦 so i didnt bother writing much under the post, i guess i'll put it here since this was the wip.. i loooove sharing ref & inspo pics :3c BTW i cant bay leaf yall liked the drawing sm😵 that is krazee.... thank u.. ah.......ㅠㅠ
so first things first i was gonna give her a shirt for real, it was even in the sketch but as i was lining it i realized to the surprise of absolutely no one i liked 🅱️🅾️🅾️🅱️💲 a little too much LOL like LEMME SEE ALL THAT👀
i literally do not kno why there are 3-4 layers of pants under hanbok🤔 see more here &here (both eng resources, second one has a lot on diff types of hanbok, u gotta scroll down to see the inner layer stuff)
they are crotchless / open pants but still WHY? seems like it'd be hard to go pee🤨 honestly i prefer skirts for volume, my oc is not wearing 3 layers of pants No thank U wtf lol actually this reminded me of when i was in elementary skool, in the winter my grandma tried to get me to wear leggings under jeans cuz it was cold which is great in theory but i hated the feeling like weird sensory issues of 2 pants, i wonder if it would be similar >_< when u do hanbok rental nowadays they dont give u pants, u just wear a bunch of skirts
view da gif i say, it feels like i just made a dressup game lol
aaand here are the refs i used for the bg stuff
completely obsessed with the patterned blankets and the cylindrical pillows with the tassels. also just love the look of woodblock prints in general, the flatness of it rly lets the color choice & patterns shine. it kinda looks simple at first glance but is actually so sophisticated ^_T💕 i do have a love & hate relationship w rendering but lately my line quality has been looking real seck see (to me :3c) so i dont even wanna paint on it, only colors + gradients :P if theres gonna be no rendering / blending / shadows then you have to express planes and surface shapes with lines or hatching and i think looking at detailed manga is rly helpful, i've been going to sun ken rock (boichi) which is uh. rly something. lol. i totally get all the criticism for it lmfao💀 but i like his linework wat can i say. especially on the collarbones, back of elbows and knees >_<
and stuff by ikegami ryoichi, takehiko inoue, & hirohiko araki. everyone knows slam dunk & vagabond & jjba like the very detailed artwork but i didnt kno ikegami ryoichi until i watched the urasawa naoki manben docu series (very good i recommend :P) i rly like how he draws faces! the hatching for form & shadows can get very very detailed😵💫
closing thoughts, a few yrs ago i watched this film which is historical ish, set in 30s-40s hong kong / shanghai, i dont 100% remember what exactly happens, its political spy stuff + doomed romance (??)
anyways there were some spicy scenes 👉👌 but the important point is they put armpit hair on the mc lady👀 let me tell u, i've never seen that in any movie / drama / tv show, i was impressed‼️ and i was certain women back in the day (like 700s-1300s specifically) were not shaving body hair (doesnt sound right at all) but when i did some digging around on google, results were actually inconclusive - but possibly leaning towards "no" ? 🤔 i was even looking up edo & joseon era shunga / chunhwa which is. sort of like a primary source i guess. they were generous with the bush but not rly anythin on armpits i wonder if they were too lazy to draw it or it was too insignificant or smth, or maybe another reason, cuz if my ancestors were actually shaving their pits during the 10th century that is nuts🥜🌰 i cannot believe it lol. idk, historical setting & armpit hair just feels right together 🫶🏻
