tbh my main goal is just to actually understand what the hell i’m doing LMAO

#

anywaysss here’s some (semi) recent drawings i’ve done?

#

can we tell that i really like drawing one thing only

#

oh shit waitttt i can actually post smth i’ve been doing recently

#

it’s still faces ofc, but i’ve been trying to get better at make the same character look consistent regardless of head direction, expression, etc

#

there’s these as well (last one is a wip)

#

i don’t rlly think i’m succeeding yet but here are the attempts i’m making? 😭

livid mica
#

smth i drew with the goal of trying something new

#

it’s not good! not at all! but its my first time using alcohol markers & acrylic paint markers together! and i don’t rlly know how to use either one alone so idk wtf i was thinking LMAO

#

its not the absolute worst thing i could’ve created so

#

there’s that

livid mica
#

ok hiii

#

i js finished w some gesture practice that i will send eventually

#

now i want to do literally anything else

#

list i made forever ago of shit i want to study:

gestures, figure drawing, spine ribcage torso pelvis area (does that have a name? idk), arms & legs, the head, hands & feet, clothing, and coloring :P

#

lowkey i should spend some more time on gestures

#

but i dont want to

#

so im not going to LOL

#

heres the god awful pics of the gestures i did (i drew 20? 21? thirty second gestures and 3 two minute ones)

#

poses came from line of action yayyyyyy

#

ANYWAYS now i want to not do gestures so i’ll prob do some figure drawing bc ugh i need to start drawing full body

livid mica
#

did it

#

it sucked

#

and its supposed to suck rn

#

so i'm not mad at it

#

going to practice some more!!

livid mica
#

wait i just tried something different that is actually making me not hate gesture drawing anymore

#

for reference

#

this is the first full figure drawing i tried (it came from line of action so i cannot find the reference pic)

#

OKAY BUT THEN

#

then i pulled out my markers and was like “man why tf not”

#

like ayo???? that face sucks but i feel like this is way way better?????

#

like ofc its not perfect or anything but i am liking this method way way more than whatever the hell was happening before

#

gestures are getting done in marker ONLY from now on

#

oh fuck i draw digitally

#

uhhhhhh marker brush it is ig!!!!

livid mica
#

reference

#

hmmmmmmm i’m seeing mistakes now. going to correct them bc i can now.

livid mica
#

corrections!

#

damn they look mad different.

#

i’m clearly very proud of how this has gone LOL

livid mica
#

god i’m so inspired looking at everyone’s art i literally can’t sleep bc i just wanna draw bro 😔😔

#

U GUYS DRAW SO WELL WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

livid mica
#

reference

#

shit ass gesture drawing, tracing construction boxes on top of the photo, then my attempt at freehanding it

#

i’m gonna go back & tweak my attempt but i just wanted to show it off

#

things to keep in mind:
-don’t be afraid to straighten out & tilt that left leg! the pose is still balanced bc of how her top half is leaned over
-the legs are pressed atop each other
-bump her left hip way up and push up the right side of her torso
-right arm is a little too long?
-make her face smaller as well

#

ok that’s all i got LOL

#

i think i js need better construction boxes ngl….. or maybe i need to draw boxes more often……….

#

but that’s not what i’m doing rn!

livid mica
#

it’s a little better

#

going to draw boxes and shit

livid mica
#

ive been drawing boxes for the past day and a half ish and the only reason i havent sent them is bc i only drew five and i only drew five bc i dont want them to suck

#

saying this in here so i can remind myself that IT IS OKAY TO SUCK.

#

SUCKING IS PART OF THE PROCESS

#

STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT PERFECT BC IT WILL NEVER BE PERFECT BC U ARE ALWAYS LEARNING

#

ok thank you.

#

boxes will be posted in here once i do my homework

livid mica
#

i didnt send my boxes bc i didnt do my hw 💀💀

#

BUT im doing a diff hw assignment now and its turnarounds of a character we like soooo i’ll prob send my progress on that in here so yayyyy

livid mica
#

didn’t draw all my boxes but here’s what i got

#

can we all tell idk what i’m doing lol

livid mica
#

he’s still not done & i have to draw him in side & back view BUT look at him yippeee yayaysysy

livid mica
livid mica
#

what i MEANT to say was “wow look guys i fixed it”

#

i should move his eyes a lil farther apart but aside from that i think i’m happy w this

livid mica
#

been feeling very sick of drawing lately so i did this in 15 minutes to try and make myself giggle at least a little

livid mica
#

did more stupid drawings to try and make myself less burnt out and it’s kinda working

livid mica
#

ok so as it turns out i need to very swiftly ignore the fact that i’m bad at art bc i’m gonna open commissions soon

#

gonna be in here practicing every day

#

so yeah

livid mica
#

just finished

#

is it as good as i would’ve liked? no, but did i try some new shit and problem solve and drag my ass through it even tho i wanted to punch a hole thru my ipad? YES.

#

i’m calling it a success

#

i barely draw full body

#

and i never draw full body from other perspectives that aren’t front facing

#

so i’m fucking expanding guys!!! hell fucking yes!!!!!

livid mica
#

anyways my next project is a 3 character crossover

#

soooo brainstorm time while i sleep ig

livid mica
#

can’t sleep

#

too excited trying to brainstorm crossovers

#

i almost wanna do an all black cast just because

#

but that just makes me want to do tmnt and im not supposed to be headcanoning characters 💔💔

#

sigh i need to sleep and think about this in the morning LOL

livid mica
#

very rough idea

#

the guy on the ground is tim drake (dc), the guy falling to his death is langa (sk8), thumbs up dude is reki (sk8), and guy actively on skateboard is cole (lego ninjago)

#

does cole have a last name??

#

ok i googled it and apparently this is a Thing.

#

i’m seeing that it’s brookstone? but i think thats just a made up thing bc he doesn’t actually have a last name??

#

guys idfk and im js gonna say he’s cole from lego ninjago LMFAO

livid mica
#

i really wanna add a haikyuu character <//3

#

but i’m going for a group that would actually get along & have similar temperaments

#

sigh.

#

i can always do another project like this with different people

livid mica
#

traced this for background ref btw

livid mica
#

photo bashing is lowk awesome

#

would be more awesome if PINTEREST DIDNT SUCK.

#

got it!

#

i fear we are saying goodbye to langa dying in the bg

#

it would be so funny but idk if i could pull it off LMFAO

#

we’ll see how i feel later

livid mica
livid mica
#

livid mica
#

#

#

trying to decide if i should draw or not

#

#

i need to be up in 5hrs. sigh.

livid mica
#

livid mica
#

livid mica
#

they are very obviously very different

#

i decided to genderbend the pirate one bc idk i thought i’d have more fun if she were a girl

#

and the purple one is still supposed to be a dude but idk how to make that more obvious w/o changing his hair 😔

livid mica
#

changed the skin tone of the two girls

#

i was afraid of all their skin tones looking too similar (plus pirate girl was hella gray compared to the other two) sooooo yah :)

#

i really fw the change even tho i thought i was gonna hate it 🙏

livid mica
#

oh holy shit

#

they look so different now guys! (not rly)

livid mica

list of projects i have to do:

  • draw 4 of my ocs. each one of them has to have a standalone drawing & also come together in a scene (hard to explain, easier to see what i mean as time goes on)
  • create a WHOLE ASS ANIMATIC. at least 18 frames of storyboarding, one presentation board, & put all that together into an at least semi-animated video
  • make a walk cycle animation
  • make a SECOND ANIMATIC into A FULL ASS ANIMATION.
  • draw shooting boards with tone (4 frames)
  • draw a presentation board for a made up product
