the struggle of putting faces to characters i’ve only ever written...

hmmmmmm... feels like i need to do more worldbuilding

tried a different approach & blocked out some shapes without color first
going to try some more variations later, this still feels kinda generic

i rarely draw my characters as fullbodies mostly because i have no idea how to design outfits... but i made an attempt today, don’t know if i like it

also i drew too small again so it’s blurry oops

attempt #2, less ambitious but more successful, turns out painting is easier if i don’t start with lines

it’s a redraw of my first portrait painting all the way back in 2016, included below ^^

there was An Attempt but i still don’t know how to paint faces 🙃

also colors look so different on different screens, i think i keep starting out too dark

going to have to figure out how to shade this...

spent way too long polishing the previous wip that didnt work out so finished some sketches that i like more instead

scribbly wip

trying to figure out style, studied a bit of littleulvar & tried drawing one of my characters

OTL
