Description
Update: Added bottom row. Finally finished all of them wew. Thank you for commissioning me!! I might open this type again with new styles. Which is your favorite?It was fun to dig up old styles and thinking of new techniques. I practised different facial angles along with it xD
Experimental commissions for - top: | bottom:
For a while I wanted to experiment with coloring styles and dig up old techniques I barely use. Thank you for being interested in such commissions
There are 5 styles I want to try out, each commission will be colored differently. I tried a horizontal composition as challenge, because I usually draw headshots vertically.
Full versions are on my facebook and twitter. Individual links are listed below.
# I Like - Mainly focus on colorchoices for shading. I tried to pick different colors than I used to. The character colorscheme is originally dark, but this style gave it a different vibe.
You can find all rainbow colors in this lol. For the background it was dark at first, but it blends too much with the character. A light scheme looks more interesting.

# Text Me - I used to draw many textures, but it was too time consuming. I'm still not used to grab texture brushes and rather manually draw them. This is the only cellshaded style
of this list. I wanted to draw her hair floating in perspective, but it didn't turn out as I wanted _(:'3/ I spend 80% of the time sketching and lining. My enemies -sigh-

# Standing in light - The most popular preferred choice, and the easiest style to pull off. I wanted to try something dynamic with this style. It feels like I should have added more
detail, but I don't know where orz I barely use yellow in my art, and this was quite interesting. Full version: www.facebook.com/pinlinart/pos…
# Old Dust - One of the least popular preferred choices, but I enjoy using desaturated colors \ o / The color palette of this character fit this style nicely. To be honest, such angles
kill me rofl. As I'm experimenting with everything, why not try out difficult angles as well. It matches the concept I had on mind. Full version: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/907…
# Painty Shadow - It was supposed to be a messy style, but I cleaned up a lot lol. It was fun to paint something dark, yet a light mood. I'm quite fond of how the colors turned out.
It looks like the sky is reflected on him. While painting, I wish I could view such skies in my country. Sadly, 80% is rain or too cloudy. Full version: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/909…
# Sketchy - A new style because lucki13ear didn't picked any as preference. The shading and lines are sketchy when you zoom in. I had a bit trouble with drawing details, even though
I designed the character myself. WHY PINLIN. It accidentely turned into a half body, but that in exchange for lack of background. Full picture: www.facebook.com/pinlinart/pho…
# Gentle Dust - Mixed 3 styles: Old Dust | Text Me | Standing in Shadow - as I was curious huehue. The palette was pleasant to work with. For some reason I started off with green as shading
color, it added an interesting effect in few corners. Full version: [ Will be posted later ]
# Mixed Mono - Reverse 'Standing in Light' and only used 2 tones. The character design fit this style well \ o / Another cellshaded style, but her wristbands are painted just cause.
I had many gradient ideas, but picked # 2: gyazo.com/22de0a375d767886e584… because it's something I never tried before. # 1 seems obvious focus on the face and 3 is too
blended with background. I wanted to give a mysterious feel to it and her face in shadows looks most interesting to me. Full version: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/911…

I'm absolutely loving these! Your use of color in 'I Like' is stunning and really eye catching. Once I saw the full size versions I was even more impressed. The composition of each is fantastic. I love the small burst of color in 'Old Dust' too!

Thank you for your comment on this! For a while I wanted to experiment with those styles, but didn't
know which characters to draw. I'm glad that people are interested in such type commissions.
It makes more fun for me too.

turtle is improving in styles coloring and everything else and its amazing to see each time but- the same faceish and expression still strike again- /D
also like- style names you mean like-
I like -> Aka when a carnival passes through
Text Me -> Underwater don't text cause u know- water- style and coloring theme
Standing in Light - > Camera LIGHT Action
keep on improvinggg <3

What kind of expression do I have to draw to call it diverse, like exaggerated? I don't think the characters express the same emotion.
I like -> Mhahaha, I'm the carnival king!
Text Me -> I know there are bubbles around me
Standing in Light -> I'm gonna shoot u lil' mouse
I try to use slightly different anatomy for every character I draw. This became a habit that I even draw the same character differently.
'The same' might be an element that pulls my style together despite my attempts for variety. Anatomy is off topic as I focus on coloring,
but as you pointed out it might be something to focus on next. To be honest I don't want 'too diverse', as long as characters as recognized.
Thinking about this, I don't even know what kind of faces and expressions I like. In fact, drawing faces is my least favorite as I always
avoid this or keep as last ever since I started to draw //deletes a wall of text about lifestory//
Mousy has confusing or high standards ;___;

the one which does not make characters look like they thinking if they left stove on or not- /D
and not saying they don't express same emotion in this peace they do o0o but turtleee just pointing it out to you so you can improve mkay-
if not commission expression then try your oc expressions o0o cause from what i seen coocoo angel of yours seem to be the one with more 'expressive' range of the sketches i seen from you o0o the others are like- 'stove on or off-??'
also- I AM NOT THAT LITTLE DANG IT-
tldr: turtle- try everything- and figure out what u like mkay- u have so much variety in style and composition and everything and its turning out amazing so don't be afraid to try and keep on improving mkay- <3 u can doo ittt
Mousy has confusingly high standards which Turtle keeps reaching and improving each time but Mousey is still picky so keeps on picking on babu turtle to improveee with confusingly high standards vuv <3

Ahhh this is super pretty! I like all of them, but the last one has a certain ferocity I love the most. It's difficult for me to make large distinctions in style very often but compared side by side I can notice a lot I think.
I usually notice line thickness, sketchiness, organicness(?), saturation and if and where the lines are drawn. Not so perceptive besides that so it makes it hard to understand what is even in my own styles.

Interesting analyse of elements. My comparisons is tricky, because I didn't change the way of drawing anatomy.
It's entirely shading and color choices. I think lineart is the same for all too, except the second one might be cleaner.
If you're making conscious choices, it would be good to study. Otherwise, do what your heart and mind feel like!

I usually don't change how I draw anatomy, certain proportions/smoothness just feel right to me so I often stick to that and change anything but that out of preference. Divergences just happen when I find a more comfortable way to draw.
With the 3 different styles I noticed that the second has very clean and sharp lineart, the second is bold but gives a bit where you might see more action or movement. The first has more subtle lineart imo giving some structure but letting the colors and shading show the shapes more. Going lineless or using more wild/subtle lines is hard for me and usually my rendering can't hold it's own that well. I think I can capture the sort of ferocity I like in my sketches but I lose a bit of the energy when I refine the lines. I don't really show those sketches anywhere since they are just that, but maybe I might post them sometime \o/
Definitely going to keep doing studies, especially for rendering things better without lines. Thanks and keep it up!

I really love # Text Me, she looks absolutely gorgeous and I love the flow in the hair ;; v ;; This really makes me want to experiment more styles

The character fit this style really well, this match was a destiny +_+b
I had to redraw her hair like 3 times to create this effect. Glad it was worth it xD

Wow when I looked at the ice scoops text me was my least favourite and now it's the style I like most. XD
But all of them turned out gorgeous. I am sure the commissioners were/are very happy with the outcome~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
According to statics, Text me was the least favorite. Nobody chooses to text me
Funny enough, Standing in light was the most popular. Everyone aims for spot lights lol. The irony of
names I came up with. There are 2 more styles: one that affects the colorpalette and other that is
interesting in concept/composition. More stuff to come! I'm glad you like those 3 so far \(+7+)/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I must admit Standing in light was my favorite as well. I just love warm golds and browns. X'D
I am looking forward to see more~
