After - character © I3I


Updated After's outfit with marker practice but i was too lazy to draw her in non-cheeb form lol

More of After: o1 , o2 , o3 , o4



used:

 Sharpie markers, copic markers

- - - copic markers are awesome. i need more practice with it. i bought a gray set when i went to AX and i never regretted it.

- - - using sharpie as cheap substitute for colors i don't have.

 Color pencils, LePen drawing 0.03 technical pen

 Faber-castell PITT artist pen XS

- - - consistent ink, flows smooth on paper and lasts very long much unlike LePen's

- - - however i'm very uncomfortable with the grip. I'm more used to holding the pen straight between my fingers.

- - - The ink takes a while to dry and it's very easy to accidentally smudge it ;.; 

- - - should've stucked with the LePen. Even if it wasn't very smooth, it was more forgiving with inking mistakes.

How people can draw the same character consistently baffles me. I'd be lucky to complete a stick figure flip book.

Thank you!

I was too at first so I made soft-copies every other move in case I would make a huge irreversible mistake.

I didn't need them in the end but the tiny mistakes did help me learn a lot anyway ^^

CodyE-IIXXII In reply to I3I [2014-01-13 06:50:07 +0000 UTC]

Well you have a lot of talent and it shows

I still need to work on my skills.
I hope one day I can draw as well as a lot of the great artists like yourself here on DA.

CodyE-IIXXII In reply to I3I [2014-01-13 19:33:54 +0000 UTC]

cute, You're welcome
An that's good advice.

What got you into art?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I3I In reply to CodyE-IIXXII [2014-01-14 03:04:31 +0000 UTC]

ah well, it's more like from experience.

in a website like this full of talented people, i frequently get envious of other people's talents

and sometimes get so frustrated thinking why can't i draw as good as they can

it's easy to feel down like that but at the same time it easily becomes the drive to improve.


& it's hard to say what did exactly.

the earliest memory i can think of are books with scarce but beautiful illustrations.

i guess i wondered, wouldn't it be wonderful if i can create things like that with my own hands and a couple of crayons?

something like that i guess haha

how about you?

CodyE-IIXXII In reply to I3I [2014-01-14 03:33:41 +0000 UTC]

I understand.
But I know my artistic skills are low, so I always feel inferior to real artist like you.

I understand.
I only started a few years ago after I got into manga and anime.
I even plan to create my own manga

DON'T.

don't make yourself your own enemy.

paraphrasing from Dr. Seuss, that's a battle you'll never win.

&you should see my folder, when i first started haha .

we all start somewhere.


& that's nice, having a goal helps.

you'll get there, just keep practicing ^^
