Description Mwahaha I wasn't LYING when I said I'd draw more!

So here we go. My first full attempt at drawing my absolute favorite character from anything ever... Solf J. Kimblee!

Umm... it looks okay. I guess. (Not really).

But here's the deal. I promised *egyptian-sands that I'd finish a picture of Kimblee, even if I hated it. So here it is. To be honest, it came out a little better than I thought it would, but something still feels off about it. So PLEASE! Criticism is WELCOMED! I really want to get better at drawing Kimblee, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

*egyptian-sands , this is basically for you, considering my motivation to get this done was to post something before you got back from vacation. I hope you're proud.

Enjoy!

Thank you!

And yes, I completely agree with you. Sorry it looks so weird. I'll definitely work on that in the future.

Oh... my... god.
Miranda.
I like, don't even know what to say.

This is so unexpected!!!! What a pleasant surprise to see as I check my messages when I return from vacation!! I'm so glad you posted this!!
But yes... comment time!

I was actually kinda surprised by the outcome of it. I honestly thought with all the complaining you did it wouldn't look as nice as it does (that's a compliment, I swear )
I really like the shading, too. It's soft but but the colors look really nice. I especially love the soft black under his eyes. It adds a lot of depth
Speaking of the eyes, they look really good! I dunno why you complained so much about them, cause they look fine :giggle
The hands look good too, I love the little lines and fingernails
Overall, I'm rather impressed with this, especially considering this is your first official picture of Kimblee! I can't wait to see more!

Oh, Kelly. I love you.

Isn't it crazy though? I actually got something done! I'm sorry it's not so great. I was hoping it'd come out a little better. But point is, it's DONE. So I'm very happy about that.

I'm glad you like it though! lol and you know me and my constant complaining about anything that I do. That's the artist in me, I guess.

But yaaay Kimblee! Yes! I'm excited to do more too! Only thing is, I need more ideas for pictures. Thinking of poses and actions and whatever is really difficult sometimes... But I'll get on it asap.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MI HERMANA!

Love you too

And it is crazy! But awesome And I think it looks great, especially considering this is your first real pic of him and all

And all artists are critical of themselves to some degree

Yeah, just don't think too hard for ideas. They usually hit you when you don't think about it as much. Or think of words and concepts instead of poses. Just don't overthink it

And you're welcome, mi hermana!

lol if you say so...

Ya know, I tried your whole "don't think about what you're drawing" thing... and it worked. Last night, I was like, "I'm just going to draw Kimblee's head at a side-view." And one thing lead to another... and now I have an idea! So BUH BAM. I'm drawing another picture! Thanks for that idea. Artist block = GONE.

Yeah, thinking too hard is the worst thing you can do. Keep your thoughts simple and ideas will come more easily And I'm glad it worked and that you have another idea! I'll be excited to see the picture!

Haha yeah... Well I'm not done with it yet. To be honest, I didn't work on it at all yesterday, so it's still just hanging in my sketchbook. But I'll totally work on it today.

Nice work, Miranda!

Considering that this is the first picture you're posting of Kimblee, he looks awesome!

For some reason, I really like the coloring and shading that you did on his face It looks really nice.

I also really like the transmutation circle on his hand. It looks very detailed.

And also. His eyes. Awesome work. I know that you kept complaining about them, but they looks great!

Good work!

Thank you! *triumphant music*

I'm glad you like the shading. I'm not sure if it's as dynamic as it needs to be, but that's okay. Haha and his face was definitely my favorite part to shade. I'm not sure why...

lol Caroline. His eyes. THEY ARE SO. DIFFICULT. But again, I'm very glad you think they came out well. I feel less... retarded.

Thank you, Caroline!
