I'm back from my off-the-grid trip and excited to get back to work on the Ren'py version of A Very Full House! I wanted to get back into my art practice routine right away, so I dove back in with this breast size study, fully coloured and shaded!
While I was gone I spent a...

More practice art! Lots of stuff I'm happy with on this one, particularly the face (this angle has given me a lot of trouble in the past) and the shading.

A little spread I made for my practice art over the last few days. Starting with a single drawing I first worked on modifying/redrawing it to get a better feel for proportions for tall/short/skinny/chubby girls. Then I did some shading with my standard skin pallet and tried modifying the colours ...

Just some more practice art for today. IRL stuff has slowed down my progress on the Ren'py rewrite of A Very Full House, but hopefully I'll have some time to put towards that soon.
In the mean time I'll still be making sure to fit in my regular practice art sessions. Feel f...

Just some more practice art for today, focusing on trying a new style for liquids. Not 100% sold on it, but I'll have to try a few more times.

One of the things you hear all the time in creative domain is that you need to be willing to "kill your darlings". That means being willing to cut out your favourite bits when they don't fit into the larger piece of work you're making. Another phrase I've heard is "Don't hold onto a mistake just ...

I finally got that belly practice I wanted! I also experimented with a new technique for shading clothing that is particularly useful in cases like this when there are multiple colour regions. It doesn't work as well for skintones, but I expect to use it a lot more for clothing in the future (and...

Not to be mistaken for an elf cowgirl, or an elf riding cowgirl, or an elf cow-girl being ridden cowgirl - but all of these are fun drawing ideas!
Nothing too special or exiting to report for this. I do find it kind of funny this is the one of the few drawings I've done where I didn't 2022-03-31 12:18:25 +0000 UTC View Post

I wanted to do some outfit concept art, but didn't have any good character basis to use. I decided to fix that and do this full body, front and back drawing. Next up I'll be doing some quick-and-dirty sketches to see what sort of outfits you patrons want me to add next! Expect to see a poll in a ...

I wanted to do a little practice with folded/rolled fabric, which lead to this piece of practice art. I was feeling really uncertain about this piece about 50% of the way through (right when I had put down all of the flats but hadn't done any shading), but it's turned out fine in the end.

Another bit of practice art. I'm experimenting with a different sketching brush, and it made colouring the sketch at the end a lot faster. Overall, I'm happy with how it's looking , and may move to coloured pieces like this as the standard going forward.
