🌈🌈 Woo! New year! New endeavours! This year is da year I decide to make an art thread!🌈🌈


I honestly wondered why people made art threads to begin with but...I suppose it gives me a good place to post sketches, doodles and wips and also talk absolute doo doo about my characters, how I feel about my art and whatever the hell comes by my train of thought whilst I draw


Gonna go get this puppy set up properly as the day goes forth but for now, I leave with a crop of my new character references in the makin ✨

Every year I draw them It feels like their proportions get stretched just a little more, just a little more weird, n just a little more ugly but in a way that fits em accordingly lol I love pumping all the style I can into their faces n shapes


I thought id be content in the art of ruth specifically on my 2025 reference but I realise no no, there's still certainly more I could do to improve, and i'm sure ill be repeating those words to myself for as long as I still got a hand to draw with lol


Currently wondering how I go on with their ref sheets this year...I think people like the extra character personality info but...I think Some close up or side details would be nice to add in again, I think references are supposed to be more for keeping characters on model and taking notes of their small deets and common expressions, means I gotta put a little more effort into drawing as opposed to graphics but..Id like to believe that effort wont go unnoticed...


Wondering If i should draw a new batch of logos/watermarks for myself this time around, despite its functionality Ive never been entierly satisfied with my 2025 watermark I miss my 2024 one a bit but there is a big pride to take in knowing you drew the font for ur watermark urself as opposed to nabbing a graffiti font from font space lol

them and their big ass heads


I know his nose is WAY off rn but like, trust the process lol


Its a little hard to say what Ruth probably did but lets just say it wasnt very nice...She feels very confident in what shes done though

stupid stupid stupid heads grrrr caught myself at a bit of a roadblock here cuz of Ruths stupid hair

Like...this is what her hair normally looks like yes?

iu_1517251_10412881.webp

You can see that on her main ref her hair very much sits next to her chin but I try draw that from the front facing angle and suddenly her head becomes incredibly lopsided, I would say something about removing her ear but both her ears are very much visible (I hate hiding/not drawing ears weird pet peeve of mine) what on earth do i do about such a connundrum?


doesnt help that she honestly looks drunk at the moment , but something tells me its the smile its a very goofy smile lol

Told myself id like to learn 3D art by the end of the year, tis one of my new year resolutions


we learnin....


Its something Im going to have to practice at for multiple days on and on simply to memorise all the important shortcuts, Ive allways been very stubborn against shortcuts so im probably a little behind in that regards lol but it aint too late to learn just yet!

iu_1517585_10412881.png


Currently practicing modeling my own character/mascot/sona bangarang, taking some loose notes from the tutorial im currently watching, I watched his other tutorial the first time I practiced in blender but unfortunatley I kinda forgot a hearty chunk of the key shortcuts (except scaling on the axis) Id like to think im making decent progress so far though for a first attempt at making a character

wrapping up for the night (currently 1:28AM yeesh-) but Id like to think im making some alright progress for a beginner, main issue currently is symmetricality, I cant mirror the head because it leaves a giant seam in the middle of said head that I cant properly fix but her ears are pretty notably two different sizes >:( Ill have to figure out a way round that sooner or later


Her hat is also causing me way more issues than it should be, that took me a hot minute to figure out how to make a proper hat shape that domed in on the inside (as well as making it fit properly to the brim)


Ive written some notes for the shortcuts that Im using/need to model but I spent the last couple of hours fiddling on my own accords without the tutorial, but said tutorial is certainly helpin


but were makin progress! 🌈


Dreadin' about how Im gonna put hair on this thing tho-

iu_1518090_10412881.webp


For some reason the coat/head and limbs all change colour together I dont want the coat to be the same colour as the body but i dont know how to unlink that lol

I lurk in art threads, I'm sure others do too! Unfortunately I know nothing about 3D modeling lol, so instead I'll just say that I love your caricatured drawing style, it oozes personality like nothing else I've seen.

before college tomorrow still practicing with some more 3D, made a little pony model from scratch, eyeballing the side n front profiles lol...I should probably bring a reference for more complex shapes later down the line honestly lol is alotta trial and error figuring out what shape looks right and what doesnt, just spinning the model around constantly spinning it around until it looks right from all angles


Its certainly not an exact replica, but I just wanted something similar, no one to one at the moment,


...Wondering what pony I make on this, I was considering making my old pony oc I made dinky ring but, the build aint right for that lol...considering if I should look for someone with a cool MLP oc to put over this or something once its done

orrrggg how dose one add eyes to this socket?


I think this requires me havin to figure out how the hell colouring works on blender sooner or later grrr!!

Im really not digging the whole colouring thing on blender so far gonna be honest lol


its between figuring out how to add eyes, or how to add hair, both seeming like rather unplesant tasks to work on right about now

grrr college is back on lol which means i got school work to focus on again booooooo

Luckily being the first day back its never anything super serious, gotta make a mood-board n find some videos to review,


weve been tasked to make something experimental which the soul purpose of evoking some kind of reaction from the audience, wether it be good or bad, as long as the feel something, weve also been encouraged to overstimulate the senses somehow, through complex and flashy visuals or through static and eletrical hums n buzzes. Great emphasis has been put on sound design and visual effects.


Im like loosely familiar overwhelming the senses, I love loud and cacophanous music! got plenty to work with and I'd like to think im pretty good at confusing people lol last project i ever showed off to my mother she just looked at me like...huh???


Im excited, but still a little worried, because im honestly not very good with production editing or effects lol but theres no limits on what I can/cant use for my visuals or sounds it seems.


Ill get going on my tasks throughout the day (hopefully) but I also wanna lay out the foundation for my character refences lol theyve been sitting around for a bit because ive been working on practicing my 3D skills lol I should probably get that out of the way before it piles up with a bunch of other things im still yet to do

Made a little moodboard for my college project, always one of the first things we do is make a moodboard, I want bright overstimulating joyus colours and patterns all over, still finding it a little hard to properly piece all my current thoughts together but I think this is a somewhat decent layout to reference at the moment

Quick wip, planning to draw some detailed teeth...


iu_1523814_10412881.png


ok might be a bit of a hot take here but personally, I really dislike drawing teeth, realistically or stylised, I find them to be overrated as hell like, I love talking about the details and drawing unique features on said teeth...in theory- but in practice i find drawing and lining them up to be a bit of a slog not gonna lie lol


that wont stop me from drawing them for the sake of character details but still, not really all that fun not gonna lie lol

urggh, practicing some more 3d, trying to make a low poly model...note to self, to actually take the time to draw a rough reference for my model next time lmao , this was from scratch, with some very loose eyeballing from a ref sheet of the character


prolly gonna pop off to bed tho, got really carried away modeling this i had no idea that it was about one o clock, i dont know how long ive spent trying to model this damm thing coming to think about it lol


the hair is seriously pissing me off rn i hate trying to model hair , ive only done it twice but thats already enough for me to loathe the process entirely lmao again, dunno how many people lurk in threads but if anyone knows anything about low poly 3d modeling can i have some feedback on making/shaping the hair to the head???
