Day three



Now we're cooking with gas! No, actually, this is uh... kind of crappy. I guess it's alright, better than it could be, and I've been practicing a more realistic style lately, but my style is not.. very appealing and wow do I ever need practice doing hair especially really long hair. Oh well though. It's a colored lineless piece and that should stand for SOMETHING, right?

Also testing out a new simpler signature because my cursive signature is like a ball of twine lately. It's a jellybean... with jellyfish tentacles. Kind of dorky but cute.

The picture itself is based off a pokemon, Furret. A friend picked out a random pokemon for me (Linoone) and that was what I was originally going to do, but Linoone reminded me of Furret and Furret is cuter so I did Furret. Yay!

Reference from hereee.

  1. I would like to know why you are calling it "kind of crappy" and "not very appealing."

    Do you honestly believe that?

  2. I do. I say kind of crappy because the hair isn't very good and the shading is kind of light and the creases probably make it glaringly obvious I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm sorta happy with the skin coloring (yay skintones!), but I say 'not very appealing' because my style is kind of bland, in faces especially... It's sorta derived off realism but it's not very... appealing, to me at least, I guess, because I feel like it has so little personality compared to everyone else's work. I just imagine other people feel the same way. It's a style, and I guess it's not necessarily bad, but I doubt it's very appealing to look at.

  3. Wait, I should rephrase.

    Do you believe it's kind of crappy and unappealing for your usual work (not your work vs. "Yanagigoshi", etc)?

  4. That'sss... actually a good question, I guess it's about average? I haven't done enough in this style to be sure.

    It was decent practice but it's nothing special, I didn't put very much time into it so I guess it was average quality as far as my art goes. I think my realism style is probably unappealing to others in general.

This is the part where you tell me my art is bad and I should feel bad.
