Description
Thought I'd give the manly men (and my husband) a break and try drawing kids. It's not that I haven't drawn them before, but I've always had a direct reference to copy from. This time, I attempted to interpret Toon Link in my semi-realistic style and I used multiple references to help me construct the face. I'm so used to drawing adults and children have different proportions, so even if I am exaggerating some features I have to be careful... so many moments when the voice in my head was saying "so... you know what you're doing?" and I was like "lol no... shuddup, brain!"This "Toon Link" is non specific and reps all the Toon Links since they all kinda look the same. His shield though is from Wind Waker, which I thought appropriate at this moment considering Ninty is re-releasing that game for Wii U.
I tried to create an ethereal kind of atmosphere - random fairy to suggest maybe Link's just dropped by a fairy spring in some cave

I feel you on the proportions. One time trying to paint my brother when he was a tot, I made his face a little long when it should be that round baby face he had.

Yeah it's so different especially when you've spent ages getting used to one particular type of proportions...

Oh, I know. It is weird when you're busy with adult proportions and when it comes to small kids and babies, everything is all weird now... Or vice versa. Then you spend ages trying to get the proportion of the kids right... Thoug I think you did an awesome job on this though... And I also realized I forgot to put this into my favorites. Something cute cmopared to what I been faving lately

I'm curious if you'll ever make a Young Link from N64.

Haha! I like to read your descriptions! Wow! This is a new side of you (well, not so new.. You can draw ANYTHING) and I really love it! I love the way you draw face, eyes, hair.. And I love the tools, what you use, you're not blending the shadows, and I think that's the most difficult for me... :/ It's very hard to leave the shadows, with no blending, with SAI.. It's looking stupid xD

Thank you very much!
Blending digitally is about which brush you find works best for the look you're after - I really like this brush I'm using coz it's very similar to real brushes that I use and gives that 'painting' look to it

Wow, that really does look like Link! It's not that I don't like fan art people create in their own styles but sometimes Link just doesn't look himself but you've captured him perfectly in this 8) Very well done!
