Thank you! Glad it worked
Yeah, I have quite a lot of ocs but they're more like reoccurring characters ahah - they don't really have a story or anything. And yeah! I designed her to be pretty much an "ideal" person physically so I'm happy you noticed

I always really like your colours. :] Can you tell me how you get your painting so smooth? What kind of software & brushes do you use, and what's your process?Β

Thank you!
ahh, to be honest, my process is not consistent at all - I tend to just go with the flow ahah
But for this one in particular, I painted it in grayscale first (all in one layer), then I started airbrushing some color over it with a layer set on "overlay" (that's what is giving it the "soft" look I think). Then I merged the layers and painted over it with a round, low opacity watercolor brush. after that I thought it was too blurry and soft, so I took a flat oil brush to make the whole thing a bit more sharp and detailed.
btw I use Clip studio paint and the brushes I use are default ones or some that i've modified a bit

Oh I see! Thanks so much for sharing your process with me. 
How's your experience using clip studio paint btw? I've been considering trying it out for a while now but I still want to find out more about it.Β

No problem!
It's pretty much the only software I ever used so I can't really compare it to other softwares - but it's very complete and you can do a lot of different things (comics, animation, you even get 3d models). I really prefer it over photoshop because I feel like it's way simpler to use, but that might be just because I have way more experience with clip studio paint ahah

Oh I see, right on! I've heard a lot of good things about it and really want to check it out at some point hehe~Β

Ahhhhh she's so pretty you did such a good job! She looks so elegant and calm~
Honestly I keep being thrown off by how much she looks like me. Did I mention this before? Because this character of yours, like, I'm herΒ real human doubleganger except for how I just wear glasses

Thank you very much! elegant and calm is exactly what I was trying to achieve!Β
Really? oh wow, now that I look at your self portrait that's true 
that's really funny though! I've had this character for a long time (even though she has evolved quite a bit) so it's really weird to meet someone that looks like her

First time I went through your library I and saw the drawings of her I wasΒ confusedΒ that she lookedΒ so similar to me me hahaha what a funny coincidence though! Besides her hair being more dark and the glasses, yeah, we look a looot alike, the way you draw her body shape and her clothing style is also very alike me. I showed some friends one of your drawings of her and they thought it was a portrait of me:'D hahahaha
I was trying to find a picture of myself so you could see, but I only have silly pictures of myself on social media ahahaaa:'D

Definitely a very funny coincidence ahahΒ
you don't need to show me pictures of yourself, your self portraits seem pretty accurate since I saw the ressemblance with my character right away too!

It is isn't it!
I don't really hide my face online I have pictures of myself here and there, but yesΒ I forgot about the self portrait

ahah yeah - even though I'm pretty average looking I never found any art that really looked like me (plus I dress really weirdly ahah) so it's really cool that my oc looks like you
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohh I'm sure there'll be something out there!
You dress weirdly?
π: 0 β©: 1
well yeah I tend to wear really out of style stuff (pretty much all my closet comes from thrift stores) - I just wear what I think is cool I guess
for example everybody loves my striped oversized overalls for some reason, or my big jean jacket with cows on the back - I also have a long, bright yellow dress coat with padded shoulders which I'm really sad I can't wear because it's too hot outside ;-; idk I just wear weird stuff but I get compliments so it's probably okay
