ITS SODABOT!!!!

[geekthefreakout]

The thing I'm realizing about drawing with dysgraphia is that I need references for every damn thing. It doesn't matter how many times I've drawn it, if I'm doing anything even SLIGHTLY different I need a reference. And if that reference isn't exactly what I need? Well, this drawing is about to look FUNKY.

I have such a hard time keeping proportions in my mind. Such a hard time mentally rotating objects in my mind. I can actually draw a face looking straight ahead pretty well now, but god forbid I am tilting that face in any way. And if the facial features are different? If the nose is smaller or the eyes are squinted or the jaw line is softer? Forget it, throw the whole face away.

"A man is about 8 heads tall" cool cool cool what if he's bending at the waist or bending his knees? What if I want to make a dynamic pose? What if I still make the head too big because I need more space to draw the eyes?

"Here's one way to draw hands" awesome I think I got it but wait I can't make this work if the hands are smaller than a quarter of the page and oops the hands once again look like spaghetti fingers

And then planning where things will go on the page!!!! Guide lines for EVERYTHING and even then, half the time the guidelines won't work and I'll still wind up running out of room or having something look way out of proportion with everything else.

It's frustrating, man. I feel like I wind up mostly doing redraws of other people's work. I was proud of myself when I learned to use a bunch of different references to frankenstein together what I needed, but I'm still hopeless without.

I just hope that if I keep practicing I'll get better with some of this. Even if it took me the better part of 2 decades to write in a straight line with proper spaces between my words.

@thelavendernarwhal your gift for the keeper gift exchange! im posting it now because my exams start in two weeks hehe. close ups & id under the cut! if you’d wait till, like, march? i could write a fic about how this photo was taken :)

also, i have this hc that twins/triplets in the lost cities have a small bit of different coloured eyes the same colour as their sibling(s). if you look really close you can see it, lol

[ id: art of the dizznee triplets from kotlc. they’ve been drawn laying on each other, with lex on the ground, bex on him and rex on her. they are all smiling widely. the picture has been overlayed with a glitch-like effect, and “dizzneeland” is written in warped lavender text at the top. the background is dark, with bokeh light-like circles over it. the photos under the cut are closeups of the triplets, once together and then individually.

lex is wearing a green shirt and has light blue eyes. his hair is short & light blonde. 

bex is wearing a light pink shirt. she has strawberry blonde hair that’s slightly longer than shoulder length. her eyes are sky-blue. 

rex is wearing a darkish teal shirt. his eyes are teal blue and his hair is short and sandy blond. /end id. ]
