A Peck Process

I figured I could post the progress shots I took while drawing "A Peck" and post them here like I did for my other drawing. owo

If you're curious about some of the process involved for "Sword Poppi," this should be helpful. OwO

How Do Name?

This is actually a drawing I finished prior to the one posted before this, but I'm sort of in love with it so I figured I'd break whatever chronological posting pattern I had in mind. 

Once again it's important to mention that this is my friend, Holly's, original character, Poppianna, who I drew because I don't possess enough unyielding devotion to a fanbase to draw fanart. Or maybe I'm just too big a fan of our roleplays. I don't know. It's probably the latter. 

Anyway,

this badass lady right here pushed my hand to its limits. The hair along took me three hours, and don't even get me started on how that corset were to figure out. I was aware of the different challenges I was going to face when I started drawing this, so I was surprised when I actually ended up enjoying the entirety of drawing this.

What better way to start off this art blog than with some art? 

This is my most recently finished piece of art. I started it yesterday, and have since been working on it off and on. I wish I would've recorded the different times so I could actually tell you the exact amount of time I spent drawing this. 

I'm going to say that I'll do it next time, but I'll probably forget and say the same thing in my next post.

Back to the point; this piece features my own original character, Annie, kissing the forehead of her childhood friend and high school sweetheart, Flicky. It's important to mention that Flicky is not my character. She's actually my best friends character, and these two are a couple involved in one of our roleplays.

While I first started drawing this piece, I thought I was going to have a hard time with Flicky's hair because blonde hair is especially difficult for me to shade and color. That being said, it actually proved to be Annie's hair that ultimately posed the greatest challenge. I restarted it two different times before I finally managed to produce a result I was happy with. In fact, Annie actually ended up being very difficult to shade in general. I wasn't sure how to approach her shoulders or naked chest, so I ended up slapping on a last minute shirt over her boobs and called it a day. 

Overall, I think I accomplished my goal of creating a warm and loving atmosphere. I'm proud that this turned out so well, but I'm also waiting for the honeymoon phase to end so I can start nitpicking this piece until I hate it.

How Do Blog?

How Do Blog?

(Hello, Imaginary Readers.)

I wish there was a tutorial for blog introductions, because I would copy and paste it into my memory ASAP. Unfortunately, said tutorial either does not exist or I've entirely missed it. Regardless of which it is, I suppose I should stop dawdling...

...

...This is awkward...

Is it too late to welcome you to my new, baby blog? No? Yes? Oh well. Welcome!
In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm new to this. I'm ill-prepared, I've done minimal research, and all I know is that I want a place where I can share my art with more than just friends and family. (*cough, cough, Facebook.*) With that in mind I've decided to make an art blog, which is what this is...supposed...to...be.  A part of me has is eager to become "internet famous," and the rest of me is very prepared to become just another blog lost among thousands that are littered throughout the inter-webs.

 I had hoped that, since I'm a savvy young adult, this process be easy. Like most of my hopes and dreams, that was crushed almost immediately. It's a work in progress, and that's what this blog is. An art blog without preparation; a shot in the dark, but an aspiring one...So thanks for sticking around long enough to read, and thanks even more if you choose to remain a little longer.

I'll see you in the next post...maybe...
