hi! i’m in the middle of drawing one of my ocs but i lowkey just don’t know what to do next.

i have a basic foundation of my drawing but it looks SOO boring, any suggestions to spice it up (like adding another character, background suggestions) would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

basically if you want to you can always like make them have a diffrent appearance as of like haircut, cosmetics, clothes, etc. (ykwim)

#

and also if you don't want to change the appearance, you can just do a copy of the character with the pose that I told as an example but in negative colors

#

about the background... hmm...

#

I have some ideas, but with the same daytime, which is night:

  • public restroom at night with pale green lightning and scribbled walls with grafitti
  • brick wall (of an alley, whatever)
  • restaurant
  • forest (The character is on the pathway and there are lamplights above)
  • City
  • back of a shop
#

There are lots of Ideas I guess that could like fit into this I guess if it has no context given

#

about the character, it doesn't need to be a twin or a doppelganger
it can be anything
a monster
a woman
a man

#

but it's up to you

#

PS: when I suggested to make the setting in nighttime or midnight I pictured Caravaggio's works tbh

Also shading using a range of warm colors might look good if you wanna do a plain drawing but you could always add more. overall it has a lot potential and looks really goodddd
