illustration no. 2018 (i think)

this is a pretty radical style shift from the disneyish thing i was doing before, but i like the washed-out look of it and the subtle almost not-there colors. it's easy to sketch this loosely (so saves time), and i like that it's got some texture, but is also soft in the shading.

i'm not sure what to do with borders/no borders and backgrounds ~ but i'm so bad at backgrounds maybe this is a good way to escape having to do them (fiendish snicker) ~ i'm going to try to go with this style for season two and see how i like it. that means redrawing the six pictures i've already drawn ~ bleh ~ and i'll still have 18 more to do ~

that is, unless i get lazy and only do one picture per episode (more fiendish plotting). the really sad thing is, i could do more if i gave up the whole business card-size thing, but i am so bad about change.

feh. we'll see.

I like this style as well, so I say go for whatever makes you happiest... but I have to admit I hope that you don't only do one picture per episode; I really like your artwork!

thank you ~ !

and thank you for the vote of confidence re: the two pictures. i seem to be able to draw in spurts and then just get tired, so it's hard maintaining any sort of stamina, unfortunately. that's why i spend so much time looking to ways to cut corners ~ hahahahaha ~

Aww! That's cool! XDD The hair, so shiny. XD And that reminds me, I have to practice drawing kissing. *dies* It's always hard to do a convincing kiss picture. :P

*pokes* By the way, you wouldn't happen to have a nice profile tutorial lying around, wouldja? I've always had trouble doing that forehead/nose part thing...and...everything else. :P *dies*

ha ~ ! thank you ~ this was totally off the cuff and i am shocked it came out ~ had no idea i would be able to draw people kissing without a reference (it's a hard position to capture, i agree!)

i will draw you a tutorial and post it later. it's all simple geometry, etc. piece of cake ~ !
