Description Here it is my friends: My little weekend challenge away from the digital art world an into the magical world of sketching  

Thank you to everybody letting me butcher your styles :'D 

You may see that the bottom ones are bigger? that's because the last three was drawn on a paper by themselves so the more space was used to my advantage :'D 

One thing I've learned is that many of you like drawing 3/4 profiles to the left where I had started drawing mine to the right which made it quite difficult to find references at times :'D In some cases I tried even mirroring your drawings the best I could so much for making it easy for myself X'D 
Also a big bunch of you had already drawn Firefly for me so I found that very helpful  

From the top we have
As a reference to the rest of you  
(left) Trying to sort through your art to find the occasionally human was something It was fun to see the subtle changes in your style over style  
(right) You had in a way made this way easier for me deciding to open traditional commissions because then I had a journal full of references for this challenge Making all this crosshatching was a treat  
Another one of you who was right up the alley for this contest since you so often submit sketches I could use for references it was interesting and fun for me trying to keep to your more rough colouring of the hair and also keeping some of the first sketch shinning through  
Oho here we have even more visible crosshatching OVO Gosh your sketches has changed quite a bit in a short amount of time :'D that's cool tho it shows progress it was fun trying to imitate your sketch with this little boy  
And this was when I tired yesterday and started failing big time :'D I ended up giving myself a second chance today with your style Even though you have drawn Firefly for me I actually ended up using your Janusz drawing more as a reference than Firefly :'D I wasn't sure which face shape I wanted to go for since you are really good at varying your head shapes and noses especially but in the end I tried with a lightly longer face with long nose since I saw this combo quite a lot the shading style is pretty much a mixture between your traditional and digital style because I am indecisive :'D 
Drawing your shadows was really nice also eye differences in side view :'D I have noticed you tend to make a visible difference between the eye sizes at times like this so since I am not at all used to this in my old art it was fun to try to imitate ^V^ 
Unlike Laura (Gosh-Heck) it didn't take me long to choose a face shape for this one since your style has a very recognisable up-side down triangular shape for pretty much all of them for some reasons the eyes did give a bit of a struggle here yet in the end I hope I managed them alright  
Oh boy, this was a challenge: being the only one I haven't been keeping up with recently your style was harder for me to pin down - you have progressed so much in your style it is really inspiring to see yet it does make it a bit harder for me to imitate I do hope I did an alright job and thank you for letting me try :'D 

This was fun ^V^ Again thank you for entertaining me with letting me imitate your drawing styles as best I can <3 
If you ever feel like trying a challenge like this yourself feel free to try to draw mine in return <3

I immediately recognised destalva's style, but also Gosh-Heck's and Tsuki's style is very prominent here I also noticed that Tsuki's tend to make the other eye a way smaller, that's btw a critique I got a few years ago, because I was doing the same :'D Looking at the other styles shows me that you also nailed FujiBB and Brianna's style.


But now to mine

I feel like you're better in redrawing my Chibi style, but the normal style isn't that far away either, there are a few things I do differently, like the nose and mouth, and I feel like when I draw the face shape he'd look a little more mature :'D but that's generally correct x'D but you did a a great job on realising my cross-hatching! That looks pretty great especially on his face and necklace and you also drew the eyes perfectly well

I'm glad that my commission journal was helpful for this x'D that was a funny coincidence tho :'D

this is again such a cool style challenge piece and it makes me think about my own that I started last year but haven't finished yet :'D

I am hapoy to hear they are recognisable to you that means I did an all right job there hahahah I am not sire if I did it bit I agree, it is no critique yay for also nailing theirs it was harder for me finding a drawing of yours facing the way I wanted so I may have been a bit too loose trying to mirror the features :'D at least the crosshatching seems right x'D thank you a very funny coincidence indeed
One day you will get there :'D

Yes, you did a pretty good job on them it's a critique for anatomy reason but if you make it on purpose it's your style (or rather tsuki's here :'D)
It's hard finding pieces from me facing to the right, that's right x'D  my line-up should have shown a few since I tried to vary them x'D
I started working on my style challenge again because I'm waiting for an answer of my last commissioner and I want to finally finish this :'D

That is the good thing about an art style: it doesnt always be anatomically correct :'D
That is okay we all have our preferred angle :'D
Sounds like a good plan also a way to spend the time usefully

Isi-Daddy In reply to MicahandtheMoon [2020-01-25 22:58:47 +0000 UTC]

Ohoho!! Look at all these lovely Fireflys! OvO
They all look absolutely lovely! I love the variety in everyone's styles! Not only in the obvious, like eye styles and face shape, but also in the different facial expressions Firefly has It really is a joy to see all together

Despite having troubles with my style, I could identify which one was mine almost immediately That strong hooked nose is very me X'D 
I was curious how much you'd take inspiration from the Firefly I drew for you since it was a straight-on drawing, but I can definitely see the Janusz inspiration coming through since I think I gave him the same head and nose shape I never realized I had a tendency for long faces, but you are definitely correct, I draw that face shape a lot X'D As I said though, strong and especially hooked noses are a favorite of mine X'D
The eyes are also what immediately tipped me off as my style, you really got those spot on! Especially the thick eyebrows with the stray hairs And the hair itself! I like how much volume my Firefly's bangs have in comparison to everyone else's I do tend to give volume to hair X'D
Also, I see how "my" Firefly's necklace is up in the air instead of stationary, and I find that so funny for some reason X'D I do love drawing jewelry in the air like that, and I'm tickled you caught that detail X'D

This is so fun to see, because it really showed me things about my style that I never thought about X'D Though your style still pokes through (that smile is very you :D ) I can really tell you did your research into mine and everyone's style! Man, now I'd like to do this challenge :'D When I have time this semester, I'll definitely be doing this

All those lovely, lovely boys glad to hear you like them and that you can see yourself in "yours" hahahah yep hooked nose and long heads :'D we like some volumous hair hahahah with the necklace I had two reasons to choose to make it airbourne: 1) I saw you did so with the drawing you did of Firefly and 2) I was running out of space :'D I do like flying jewelry too :'D hahahah yep I cannot get around having a bit of my style shining through :'D (I like those smiles :'D)
I am happy to have inspired you to try the samw

They're all here and beautiful!
You did a lovely job with all the styles! The researching shines through
Voluminous hair is wonderful
Running out of space is also a good reason to have jewelry flying X'D Glad it worked out :'D
I feel like no matter what, some aspect of your style will always shine through :'D (It's a good smile, I don't blame you X'D)
Yeah! Now I have to wait for some time to do it :'D

Guilty of triangular faces and I asume it! I have some differences for my characters, but it is so subtle :'D (This is just such a perfect shape x'D)
And the eyes are okay! I know I have a pretty perticular style for the eyes, so I don't expect people to get it so easily '^^ (who outline eyelashes? :'D)

But over all, you did pretty well with all the styles you have there! We still recognize your touch, but it is well done!

MicahandtheMoon In reply to FujeeB13 [2020-01-20 15:44:50 +0000 UTC]

Hahahah good you are standing proud x'D to be fair I possibly also have a few standard face shapes that I use a bit too much :'D (I feel you xD)
Eyes can really be stylised after who you are as an artist it is really cool that doesnt mean eyes are easier for other to draw tho :'D (you O figure x'D)
I cannot run from my style shining through in all of these if only it look a bit similar I am happy :'D thank you <3

FujeeB13 In reply to MicahandtheMoon [2020-01-20 15:47:00 +0000 UTC]

I'm so sorry you had troubles finding human art in my gallery! :'D Drawing more humans is on to-do list however, and since I'm expecting a number of books on how to to draw I will be doing a lot more traditional drawings as well!

You have captured the essence of how I draw humans and human-like characters; pronounced facelines (especially the cheekbones and chin) and the very segmented hair with the occasional long strands Also don't forget BRAIDS!


Thank you for drawing Firefly in my style! You did great!

MicahandtheMoon In reply to EnergyVector [2020-01-20 10:28:12 +0000 UTC]

That is okay that's probably like trying to find anthro art in mine :'D Good to have goals  

Yay for catching the essence hahahah, yep the braids are back X'D that was one thing was pretty interesting here: to see how different a braid could be drawn OVO 

It was my pleasure and thank you

OMG YEEEEEESSS!!!! it looks so great! all of them!
My style.... gosh you did it so well! Firefly looks so feminine lol
well... this say a lot about my tastes....haha anyway the eyes is so perfect!! and that's true
I do diferent sizes for it lol even when they are looking straight i do it X'D the nose and the long face is really well done!
also the shade is very good too, I image that was a little hard to you since I don't have any traditional drawing, mostly of what I do in traditional is silly doodles lol
but I have few ones that I shaded, and I can tell, you na-i-l-e-d it!!!
oh I'm glad that you had fun doing my style~~ <333

Phew I am glad to hear I did something right :'D Klaus for one ended up being a huge inspiration to make Firefly good and feminine X'D - that's cool that's your style :'D having to do a digital drawing digitally can be challenging yes still it is not too much so, so that's good  

Hahahaha yep it is very different vibes from the different Fireflies here :'D
