Description
(Y'know, I was so tempted to title this "sketchbook dump" or something just because I'm finally done with compiling all my sketches from my lecture notes... weird feeling, hahah!)Ummmmm anyway! Sorry for spamming all your inboxes guys, dumping all the rest of the stuff together now. ;-;
Don't take any of the designs for the Iris team too seriously--I'm still just doodling around and learning how to draw them for myself, heheh. Still, I really love my sketchbook right now--it FEELS like a sketchbook, very informal-like, so I can kind of just doodle in it and not worry about how anything looks.
Still, guess I should buy myself some new actual inks, so I can actually color some of these doodles next time, heh... xD
I'm still debating if I want Ayra and Phelan to be pureblood Demis or half-blood... Everyone else you see should be pureblood. /rambles

A-Ah, thank you very much!
Um, I drew these in a 9x12" Strathmore sketchbook with I believe a size 4 brush! :]

Your inking has become phenomenal. The movement in the lines and the tapering.
It's so elegant. Then when you put those inks over some insanely good colouring...forget about it. Game over for the rest of us.
Like that guy with the tattoo. Amazing.

R-Really, you think so, G?? I guess, I just feel like it really hasn't progressed from waaay back when I first picked up inks, hahah... the lines still don't have the feeling that I want from them, the looseness...

Awwww, thank you so much! I tend to be very boring with my watercolor choice of colors (I don't really use green or purple or yellow much xD) so I tried to broaden that! ...Maybe I just need some more lively characters, though...

oh, how I love your sketches, they are so good. Spam us more ;w;
I adore Ayra and Syena designs, and Kashpa and... everyone XD I want to draw them all <3
and those sketches on the bottom looks so dynamic. I would love to see animation like this, it would be awesome <3

Hahahah, it felt like I was doing an animation as I did that, so-! I should do some animations now, huh-!! /ponders
I think other people are sick of my sketches though--I-I'm going to try to work on bigger pieces, I swear! ;-; I want to do lots of illustrations for AD... *_*
And ahhhhhh thank you for loving their designs, heheh! Nagas and harpies are always fun to draw~ :]

I enjoy the little thumbnails of that movement, they really feel energetic. even the standing one. GREAT. I'm glad you're messing up in your sketchbook too and that you really love it. The attempt at Ian in this great perspective is fantastic! It's on it's way. Don't stop! your lineart is so clean and fluid and also has great weight alteration to it. Too awesome. Lotsa growth

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you so much! I was thinking of animation class as I drew that little moving set... x) (And tekkonkinkreet, hehehe...)

And I looked into your gallery now to see what else of kind of arts you have. I see you have an good sense for watercolour and colours as well and put a lot of work into your art in general. Looks interesting so I keep an eye on you.

Ahhhhhhh, thank you so much for the compliment and for the +watch, I'm honored! *_*
I've just recently really kicked into watercolors--I really want to get better in this medium, though-!
And your gallery is terrific as well--hope you don't mind the watch back!

Oh really? Then you have a good grasp on it already. I think I have a long way to go with watercolours and would need much more effort than I', putting into it now >,<
And thanks, I defenitely don't mind, I'm glad you like my works. ^_^

Laitma In reply to AnticiaJK [2012-09-07 16:21:42 +0000 UTC]
Watercolors are incredibly flexible and a wonderful medium once you get to know them! They're picky about paper types, but being able to control wet/dry, color mixing and variation... I find them REALLY fun to play with for all sorts of reasons, so definitely, keep at them! C: They're a ton of fun!

AnticiaJK In reply to Laitma [2012-09-13 10:07:05 +0000 UTC]
Yeah.. Well I'm total beginner in watercolours, but I get what you mean. Sooner or later I'll get into it for sure, I'm just really slow with everything most of the times. >,<
But it's really an impressive medium and the ones who can control it have awesome skills for sure.

Laitma In reply to Uinn [2012-08-28 15:17:24 +0000 UTC]
Hahahah, actually, he's more like, frozen in time, in a sense? He doesn't age and he doesn't really move, just stands there, and being a pureblood harpy he's already stronger than a human... the sigology should mostly cancel out any metabolism generated toward growth, though I think in the story he is surrounded by pigeon bones... xD
D-Does that sound valid enough to you, hahah?
