My First Artfight Attack For

Good news, now I'm at 2 min.

Bad news, I don't know how to continue.

Well, here I am again, telling myself to start small and then wanting to whip out a 3 min animation.

And done! So glad I choose pencils for the hair. Also picked one or two times the wrong color but I guess it's rarely noticable.

Here the links for the lineart and the sketch.

Ookay, lineart is done. Color will have to wait until tomorrow.

And yes, I didn't outline his scar but this time I didn't forget about it! I'll draw it as I color it.

(And is it just me or do the cogwheels look weird? It kind of looks worse in the picture...)

Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.

Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume

Can't wait to line and color it 😀

I saw this video by Shady Cicada and I was thinking like: huh, would be a cool idea if someone made a start screen for that or something. I mean that music is SOO GOOD 😍😍😍

So, I sat down at my drawing tablet and started drawing. No idea what that was, I was just going with a feeling 😁

And that's what I came up with:

I'm so proud, especially since I had no real idea what I was doing. And I still don't know what this world is about 😂 But after all, it's up to Cicada how that world turns out.

Here the picture without the text:

I just discovered how to make my own custom brushes in krita.

I also wanted to practice backgrounds and found this video on YouTube. It's actually pretty easy. Did this one in about two hours.

(and yes, I was too lazy to draw a character in. If you want, feel free to draw your character in 😄)

Edit: I just now realised that the shadows of the railings aligned perfectly next to each other. That was not intentional 😂

I've always wanted to draw this tree and it was fun 😁

(and I get better at drawing backgrounds 😀)

Am I weird for already wanting to prepare for Art Fight for the next year? We don't even have Christmas but I know I will run out of time if it starts next year.

I was looking through my devianart and found this picture I did about a year ago. Didn't post this here yet.

I still remember how proud I was as I finished that ...

Killer stole the lights from the tree...

Somebody needs to stop him before he runs away!

Killer belongs to @rahafwabas

I finally got over my art block 😀

The key was, to draw something different than what I was struggling with. I was so frustrated and at the same time fixed on drawing the face right, that I didn't realize that I had no fun doing that. After my mother asked me why I don't draw something different than faces, I drew her a couple of trees to prove that I could draw something different. after that I continued with the trees and realized that I was missing fun while drawing. Thanks for that, mom😘

I was listening to one of my usual playlists and then I had this scene once again in my head. I thought, why not try to draw it and it turned out amazing 🤩 I really need to draw more backgrounds, it's fun. I was also able to put my perfectionsim aside for that one. It's so imperfect that it makes it perfect again.

In this picture, you see my oc Ike. Since I don't want this post to get too long, I will introduce you to his backstory another time.
