Week 8 Progress

     So, I've been busy.


    I took a break from the little girl I've been drawing (I call her Mitsuki btw) and started drawing a different character. A little fact about me is that I'm attracted to feminine men... so I wanted to draw one. He's an OG creation of mine. I call him my pretty boy.





    These are outlines that I copied from photos of a model on Instagram (Elijah Langston), a random guy I saw on Pinterest, and the OG pretty boy Björn Andersen. When I'm having trouble with a character design I find a reference on Pinterest, put it into my drawing program, and trace over it to get a feel of what it's like to draw the features I want in my character. The results are usually pretty good.


    These are the results. A beautiful headshot of my Pretty Boy. Now that I've got his design down, I can go ahead with everything else. 


    This is a family portrait I'm drawing to put in the background of my animation shortfilm in my animation class with Manuel. So far, so good, but I get pretty frusterated when drawing these types of things, so we'll see how it goes.

However, all is not lost, because I've been researching a lot for my capstone and I found a lot of interesting things and ideas.     First up, the first character I finished one of my pieces for. Girl's fashion isn't what it used to be, and it's terrifying. If you've ever gone through a girl's clothing section in stores, you'll see many outfits for little girls with incredibly short skirts and tight shorts and shirts. The shirts will most of the time be cropped and revealing, and the dresses in the summer have the hips cut out in the dresses. These outfits are inappropriate. The power of social media and the lack of spaces for children and tweens ...

Week 6(?) Update

      We're getting into I-don't-know-what-week-we're-in territory now. It may not seem like much, but I finished one of the line-arts and coloring for one of the character introduction sheets. I need to finish up the line art and coloring of the other figure, then do the sheet for the last character and I'm done with those. I have a checklist somewhere...     Look at that little goober. Isn't he cute? I hope the artwork looks fairly consistent throughout my works...
