Just Draw It! #83

Despite the whole point of the title, I've hardly drawn anything these past few years. Actually, last winter I got my health destabilized. It came to the point where I gotten my throat swollen so bad I couldn't eat for two days. I don't know exactly the cause for all that, but I told myself I will have to create some sort of lasting thing in case I will never draw again.

During the long sickness I have been resting for so long, I decided I will play a game: Look at the wall imagine a thing from the patterns of the wooden wall. In this picture, there's a girl sitting on a cliff or something (Left). Yes, I was that bored, and deluded. This deserve the Ultimate Dream tag!

There was a decently old game called Hero of Inferno. It was a Flash game RIP. If I made some fanart, will people make a remake?

I probably said I should make a poster for the new completed Comin' To the Rescue novel thing. I didn't, and the picture of the dueling bois isn't what I meant. This (Top Right) is concept of the said poster.

I have been doing pixel art a bit. Again. Of course please do not expect any results, but I am trying to make some music for it. Will you bet for a fantastically whooping 0.074% chance for me to upload those game files, art, and music?

It is done. I want to thank all of you who have been reading the story. It has been a long 18 years, and I have finally fulfilled my wish and therefore this page will be granted a Ultimate Dream tag. The story may not be touched for a long time, or it may have more edits or even a bonus chapter, but I should compile all of the done files in a new page.

Maybe the next question will be, what will I make next? I do have more stories in the back of my head that needs to be materialized out. i used to make music a bit, so that's also a possibility. But first I will draw a color illustration for this story.

That being said, The other question will be, what about this blog? I haven't posted things regularly, but things are worse off now. The site can come to a permanent halt at this point, and blogs are not a thing since forever, I should have known.

In case if it does, I would like to thank all who have been enjoying the stuff here. Really. Thank you. That is all I can say. I hope it won't be a goodbye, but none can guarantee the future. For now, I will smile a bit.

Whole story is compiled here NAO!

Just Draw It #76

Due to the sudden spike of views in pixiv, this girl has claimed the Ultimate Dream title. More pictures may be drawn in the near future.

 

Voltra

 Probably not complete. May add or change a few parts in due time.

 Update 2020/08/28 Edited a few parts, namely the background and the overall color scheme/contrast. Therefore, this art has achieved the Ultimate Dream title.

Fawn

 "Step out into the new" they said.

"Do not fear the failure" they said.

"Do not regret, face forward" they said.

"Find your ultimate dream" they said.

 Anderson.T : ... What have I gotten myself into?
Jokes aside I decided to save the art progression every day until it was complete. This took me 5 days.  Here, you should see this basic four steps of how I draw.

 

• Step One; First, the lines. Actually a lot of people don't even line. I tried it. Didn't work out. Personally I prefer pen and paper. 100% laptop don't seem to do the job well. I just can't draw it the same way I do analog style. Once everything is imported into your computer, do some resizing, erase smudges, or even a complete redraw. Try reversing your picture (horizontal) from time to time. You'll need it.
• Step Two; Paint the basic colors. Balancing is hard though. Don't worry I'm still learning too, so now you can laugh and throw auto smashers at me. I like Purple and Yellow combination, but this time, it's all too red sided, like her face. Grey scaling the whole picture might help you with balance. Maybe the colors I add are too vivid, but I like it that way. Again, personal preference.

  

• Step Three; Add shadow. This is hard. Everything is. Unfortunately I have no good tips to tell you. Well if it's about colors again, try using different colors and vibrance instead of picking up the same base color you just used. Of course you need your layer to be multiply mode. Wait, if it comes to shading a face, It looks like you won't need to do much. Nobody else seems to.
•  Step Four; Add light. Basically you paint the area where you didn't paint the shadows. This time your layer needs to be screen or lighten mode. Or I don't know. Apparently some people use overlay, which I never knew it could be done. I tried it. ... Only works if the area you paint is light enough. If not, stick with screen.
• Step 4.5 ; Add moar light. Well basically highlights and back lighting or I don't know what it's called. I used to do "back lighting" in my very old pictures, but I stopped using the technique for some reason. Now it's back! Now we can make our edgy characters more dynamic! Just simply add some strings of light color right under the shadow, then you're done! Yay!

That's my four step on how I draw. Step four is my favorite for some reason. Well this is just how I do things. This is not THE WAY to draw. You really have to find your skills yourself. Look just Google everything and you'll be ok.
...
What? 4 steps too long? Fine, actually there's only two steps to be Pro!
1 Draw some circles
2 Fill in details
Done! If people can tell what you are drawing, and they enjoy it, you are "Pro"!
Really I'm half serious
