Colour Art Catch Up

I present to you, dear visitor, some older digital art!

Here is a friend of mine as an air bender

An art trade

 And a couple other things!

That's all for now!

Small Sketchbook Drawings

I bought myself a small sketchbook awhile ago. Here are some things from it:

Art Dump

I just went through a couple of my most recent sketchbooks and scanned a bunch of things. For the fun.

Some cafe sketches from summer.

Some doodles and such just for fun.

Princess Tutu characters in a different style.

Playing around with marker and pencil crayon.

Cheers!

Skater

I should really work on being neater. And other things.

Duck, Duck, Tutu

For funsies:

I'm kind of a big fan of Princess Tutu (don'tmakefunofme) and enjoy translating the characters into my style. Or something kind of like my style.

Mountain of Goats

It's always fun watching these guys.

Wedding

Commissioned by the groom's mother. Congratulations Chris and Vanessa!

Megabyte

Such a badaaaaaaass!

Process work OH BOY

Who wants to see scribbly, messy process stuff? Woooooooh!

I wanted to draw Jan and his fiance dancing. My first attempt was stiff and boring and I just could not get there arms to work out.

Second try was better. What I really wanted to get was an upshot though, and this drawing was really small anyway, so I tried again. Did I ever get the angle I wanted? No. I went ahead and coloured the third drawing anyway.

This is what it looks like with just the cell shaded layer. I never intended to *just* do cell shading, so when I cleaned up the drawing I used thin lines without a lot of variation. I personally don't like soft/painted colouring with thick, bold black lines.

Just the "painted" shading.

The two together in the final image. I... wasn't going to keep that background but decided to just because I have nothing better to put there.

I did the painted/cell combination before, but didn't save the file properly (HRRRRRNG TRAGEDY!), so I wanted to try it again with this drawing. I feel the cell shading helps bump up the contrast while the painterly shading makes it more interesting and gives it more life. I never liked the way I did cell shading much because it always came out so flat and boring.

So, uh, there we are!

Buddy Colours

Oh hey look I AM colouring this, but I'm just like...whaaaat. Maybe find a way to make those background hills more interesting without making them too busy. Also plan on cropping it a little bit, and maybe more shading on the bird. Other than the cast shadow currently on him. Yes, thats a cast shadow.

Magical Music Fairy Again

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of fairies. I just keep drawing them.

Anyway, this was done for my cousin. I'm not sure if I want to call it done or add something more to the background. Opinions?
