Messy Lines And Colours...

This really took me a while :D ( I think its one of my longest drawing / editing ever, and it started out just from sketches xD 

- I hope you like it, it wasnt really easy to do that with a mouse :P

besides sketching figures în weird manga style, I never really took the  time to do realism, well If i were only to draw a nose I´d get it somehow right but not in a portrait :X

I know it´s important to be able to do some realism becaus like everything stylelized is based  (at least the good ones) of reality

A thousand layers later..

Almost done :D (of course I used reference)

but I am facing difficult stuff that I have 0 clue about like : shadows and highlights and the anatomy of the feet and hands is really bad.

some sketches that I originally did on paper first, but I kinda liked it so I decided to trace it over in photoshop :P

even though I am drawing for like 4 months or so (well seriously drawing with the intention to learn and to get better) I don´t think I did much progress.... art or just sketching is such a big topic, one could get overwhelmed easily, you see at least I do know now it´s better to be frustrated about ones mistake than not even noticing it in the first place..

 (I rushed this)

Fanart of this cinnamon roll.... 

I am still having a hard time drawing the right expressions...

I went with “the flow” on this one: That means I would not care about anatomy and proportions so much ( that doesnt mean that I dont apply any) it just means that I´ll try to get things to “look” right without measuring and looking at reference... --> figuring it out myself, cause thats the real challenge.

I feel like I´ve improved a bit but I can still spot so many things that I am not happy with.(should be a good thing right ?) 

(originally done on paper) --> Tradigital

So I took it a bit further, I dont think I have a sense of design at all :D

But eventually I have to do stuff like clothing!

Some more practice on the skull

-note I totally ignored the expressions and stuff I just wanted to get things to look somewhat ok....

I tried the " frogs view" this time ( up view ) that means everything towards the bottom should get wider. ( well the effect istnt that noticeable) 

- this could also become a frame
