I've been doing the thirty day art challenge with my character Red :}
Along with the prompts I added that I wanted to do all of these with the limitations of doing them in MS Paint, to practice poses, expressions, and such and practice figure work/drawing a pose just by looking at it !
So have the first weeks worth of art! :D
The prompts in order were:
- Random Pallet
- Expressions
- As A Magical Girl
- Old Design
- Aesthetic Swap
- Different Species
I had so much fun with this during the week after work, really getting my creative juices flowing! My favorite days HAVE to be, in order, Day 3, Day 5, and Day 1! Day 3 is my absolute favorite by far I am very happy with how it turned out but Day 5's pose and composition is very nice as well.
Now I wanna drop some notes about each day :}
Day 1: Pallet- SUPER FUN The pallet was from a generator website I just so happened to get one that looked SO GOOD TOGETHER. It reminded me of Red getting all shy and romantic thinking about his boyfriend Vitriol while out working in the field
Day 2: Expressions- NOT MUCH THIS DAY ACTUALLY. Mostly just wanted to see how varied I could get his expressions while himself not being a super expressive character! Again another visit from Vitriol :} Worry and Relief: A story in two parts
Day 3: As A Magical Girl- THIS DAY WAS SO SO FUN I've also been doing this with my fursona and I saw the magical girl prompt and my head went two places: Sailor Moon and Toyko Mew Mew. I went with drawing Red in Tuxedo Masks costume and decided to save the Tokyo Mew Mew idea for my sona :} Again I am super SUPER happy with the posing and perspective on this one, my favorite of the bunch. May make it my icon some places honestly.
Day 4: With An Old Design- This one isn't my favorite. I really didn't know what to do with this one because Red's design hasn't changed very much, since I've only been drawing him for MAYBE a year or two! So just a headshot of how I use to draw him :}
Day 5: Aesthetic Swap- ANOTHER SUPER FUN PROMPT!! Red is a country boy so naturally an aesthetic swap would be... Greaser/Bad Boy! He's got the leather jacket, the sunglasses, and he bakes bread :} Yes I absolutely ran with this idea because of The Bad Bread Boys. This is probably my favorite pose wise, I am SO happy with this pose especially cause it's without a reference
Day 6: Different Species- This was a no brainer! Red is a feline minecraft origin oc and I'd already drawn him with a different origin as a one-off during a Gartic Phone game! So this is Red but if he was an ender origin ! :D
And that's it! This was super fun, can't wait to do more!!
