Description
Woo! I'm on a roll with the Daily Sketches! Now I just need to get them posted before 11 at night...Well, I got back into Maplestory. I know, it's sad, but true. I just found some monsters that I thought were cute and sketched them. This was mostly to improve my reference-using abilities, but necessarily my shading or proportions. I am absolutely terrible at copying things freehand, but what do you think?
Top-right: a slime
Top-left: an orange mushroom
Middle: a shroom
Bottom-right: a dead cloud-fox
Bottom: a crow thing, I'm not sure of the name
I know the slime's right eye is wonky, and the shroom should be WAY smaller than any of them, and that the dead cloud-fox is crooked. I just draw that way sometimes.
Each of these took about 5 - 8 minutes each, so a total of around 30 minutes.

I know! I think I tried drawing it standing up, but it didn't turn out. Thanks for the fave!

I'm the same. I usually draw by copying an image, yet I get frustrated because it doesn't look exactly like what it is supposed to look like.
...yet I have no imagination to draw things without copying it from something.

I normally can't draw from a reference at all; it usually comes out looking distorted. That's when I take artistic liberties and change it into something that looks good.

Yep same. My drawings on their own look okay but I compare them to the original. I'm too critical of my drawings. xD
The good thing is, I know where my drawing has gone wrong, just can't be bothered to correct it. xD

That's the point... I'd think about playing the game again if they looked like your versions. Seriously.
I think you took great inspiration from teh already cute critters and made them come to life.
And they're not even moving like the ones in the game. Vellygoodjobohyesh.

Yup! I like the word wonky. My dad used to use it, but then he stopped, so then I started using it. And he started up again.
