Redirect to original
Description
Another drawing I made while chilling out for the last couple of days. This woman has needed a new human ref for a long time and I'm so happy to finally be getting around to it. ;; I really love how this came out.The original sketch I drew that turned into this was drawn in 2018 which is why the date is a little extra. This sketch has been sitting in my WIP's for two years because I figured out that the original file format I saved this to doesnt translate to Medibang at all, and I kept putting it off bc I'm not a huge fan of Sketchbook's inking tools. (In fact, Medibang and Sketchbook really dont get along that well even with PSD files for some reason. You just can't transfer files between the two programs without things getting messed up.
There were certain parts of this that I had to redraw because my style/anatomy skills had actually improved since 2018 and I wanted to make sure I was putting out something I was happy with, but there wasnt enough about the original sketch that I thought needed to be scrapped to justify redrawing it from scratch. I really wanted to look at this and see Aphrodite. And because I was able to make the necessary tweaks to it, I definitely do. This was such a fun project and I'm happy to finally see it finished and out of my WIP folder. ;w;
Just for comparison's sake because IMPROVEMENT, heres the ref she had that was made in 2016: There were definitely some elements that stuck with me and transferred over into the 2018 version that I used, but overall the new one is definitely much better lol. I think she has a much more solid aesthetic/style now and I'm so happy with it. She looks so much classier and more elegant now. ;w;
I really hope you all enjoy this and have a good day!

Please do not steal, trace, repost, re-distribute, copy/heavily reference, edit, or use (etc.) my art/OC's under any circumstances. It's taken me years to develop these characters and it takes me hours to make a single drawing so it's really disrespectful and rude to take that for granted and abuse my willingness to share my art. So please don't. Thank you!

sdzjhbsjhdvb THANK YOU FRIEND!! I LOVE HER TOO
Dude digital art is a frickin goldmine for my creativity when it comes to art like...oof I couldnt imagine doing this ref traditionally and still have it coming out this nice. Its so nice to be able to add things like backdrops and fine details without having to meticulously plan everything out beforehand and then drawing every line by hand/being unable to fix inking mistakes after the fact. ;; It really does alleviate a lot of stress from the process. It feels like I get a little more confidence with each digital piece I do and it just makes me so dang happy. It feels really good to be learning something new each time and to be figuring things out. ;w;
Pardon my gushing I'm just MMMM LIVING FOR THIS VIBE MAN

djfhbjdf oh my goodness thank you friend! ;w; The drawing program I use has a stroke stabilizer which helps smooth out my lines. I also tend to redo a line multiple times until I get the exact stroke that I want lol. Lineart is a risky biz but stroke stabilizers are legit a blessing from above. ;; I think Photoshop has extensions that do that! Otherwise there are programs like Lazy Nezumi that do the same thing. ;w;

Oh, wow, your new reference sheet style is gorgeous! I love the idea of stylizing them to suit the character's aesthetic, and much like the sheet itself, Aphrodite is GORGEOUS! Your style has improved so much!

fjhesgbhd Thank you so much friend!! Honestly it's amazing what an upgrade in medium can do for a person. Like I could never imagine making my ref sheets look anything like this traditionally. It's been so fun being able to experiment more with refsheets and to be able to get more creative with the backdrops and everything to make them look more interesting/thematic visually without having to strain my brain or break my wrist putting in/planning out every detail beforehand. It's been a blast and a half and I can feel the improvement. ;w;

A Very Nice Ref. I like everything with the chibi outfits, the expressions, even the way you portrayed the hair colors.
I agree this is quite a classy lady. Your Aphrodite is quite well drawn and the style is why I watch your works with interest.
Very nice work all around Sheri.
