Still Practicing

My OCs: Kaida & her kitten Potato Chip. PC is teeny and sometimes (though not often!) helpful! First time drawing them in ~4 years. Welcome back, kids. ❤️ #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

Why? You wanna fight? #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

First color pass. I pulled back some of the shading and upped the contrast, but I'll be adjusting. Just trying things. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy #characterart

Still refining this one. Decided to do a levels adjustment as well. Feeling like it's nearly ready for a color pass. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy #characterart

Continued WIP. Refining the sketch and bringing more clarity and definition to the forms. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy #characterart

WIP Sketch! Forgot to date/initial it, so I just copied my mark from the last one and changed the 0 to a 3. Could I have taken 2 seconds to do it properly? Yes. Did I? Nerp! 🙃👋 #animeart #animegirl #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy

Done dayo~💗🌊 (kawaii Coraline!) #oc #luisz4g4

Thanks to everyone for the reposts and helping me get to 200! I'm looking forward to continuing to push. Decided to do a rough color on this one and it was really fun to give that a shot. #animeart #animegirl #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy

Started this a few nights ago and didn't like it, but I kept going! It's a portrait study and another style study. Push push push. 💪 (also, I'm at 199. 👀) #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #portraitstudy

Made some adjustments to the colors and overall contrast. Added the white border like I sometimes do. Plus did a quick, less surprised alt. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc #soejima #expressions

Round 2 on this one and I think I got much closer! Really feeling better about my practice lately! 💪😋 #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc #soejima #persona

Tried going back to a more Persona/Soejima style but I think I made the eyes/irises too small for that. Also a weird body angle. But, gonna keep goin'! #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

Tried to target something like Monogatari. Also looking at more difficult poses, expressions, and angles to challenge myself. Moaaaaar! Zzzzzzz. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

I sketched this and then spent a bunch of time on lineart and coloring and then it just looked weak for some reason, so here's the sketch. 😁 #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

Made a nsfw-ish sketch and now I'm like "What do I even do with this?" Since it's not exactly "on-brand" for this account. Ah well. Guess it's just for me? ONWARD! 😬

Alright...I'm not doing these huge canvases anymore for my practice or sketching stages. Sorry, kids, I'm just not a big canvas person yet. 🤷‍♂️ I'll resize if/when I proceed to a full piece. Because this timelapse is ridiculous. 🤣 Not even gonna tag. Enjoy, art moots.

Playing catch up and just working on a bunch of things at once. I feel like I need to spend like a week just doing eyes again. And jaw taper. #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #art #イラスト #arte #artstyle #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵

Lately I've been learning a lot about where I put my attention and I gotta say that basically everything that exists today is designed to make it impossible for people to focus. It's kind of crazy how bad it is. Attention training has been really helpful and I'm going to keep doing it.

I've been catching up on Re: Zero and decided I wanted to do an Emilia-tan study. Me from 2 years ago is happy I can even do this now, but me today says, "GO HARDER!" It never ends. #rezero #anime #fanart #digitalart #animegirl #practice #csp #artsky #art #イラスト #artstyle #characterart #アニメ絵

Had to exist today but I drew an OC I haven't drawn in maybe a decade? So that's fun. Going to spend the rest of my lunch practicing. 😋 #art #animeart #oc #animegirl #lunchdoodle #doodle #sketch #pencilart

Sometimes in my head I say "IN da STREET" in a very thick accent and I don't know where it comes from. It may not actually be from anything. Which means I invented a character that says "IN da STREET" in a very thick accent and their sole scene takes place in my head. This is for no one. But yep.

Pretty sure I'm being ghosted by a place I've gone through 5 months of interviews to get an offer from. Frustrating, but I'll put that energy elsewhere. 😤😩 That said, if anyone has one of those spare vgen invites lyin' around that would be suh-well. 👍 Thanks. #buh #artist #art #animeart #vgen

Me: Wow. I think maybe my ribs are finally starting to heal. I can move a little. This has really been such a weird and destabilizing few da- Universe: ANTS! Me: Wh-? Are you f----- kidding me right now!?

Alright. Luckily, through a lot of ice and heat and OTC pain stuff, I'm heading to sleep with very little pain/pressure. We'll see if I wake up all seized up again tomorrow, but after several days of this, I'm ready for it to be done. It really does make you appreciate when you are okay. Art soon.

Somehow knocked my ribs and now I'm dealing with random pain. At the same time I hit this weird level of mental clarity and I'm feeling better than I have in months about basically everything. ...so now I get to wonder if this is just natural endorphins from the pain or an actual epiphany. 👍😅🤷‍♂️

Thanks for all the love on Kaida and PC! Haven't drawn for a few days, but wanted to post the timelapse! ⌛ Gonna see if I can do enough this month to finally hit 200. #arttimelapse #animeart #animegirl #sketchprogress #csp #digitalart #artsky #イラスト #characterart #animeportrait #アニメ絵 #ocart #oc

Every time there's a portfolio day or bunny day or whatever I'm always so completely lost. Is there some board that has these or do people pick them up over time? Where is this secret artist calendar??? 😂🤣😭

The sheer amount of brain dead I feel today is hard to express. 🤕 Must...do...things. 😵 Muhhhhhh.

Da art blood! It's everywhere! Hehehe. Thank you again for doing this. I really think you nailed the foreshortening! I'm actually loving how art fight is both communal and stretching! Waking up to having people draw your ideas is so exciting. You did a great job!

Yessssss!!! Again I really love how they turned out. I feel like you captured this really cute moment in their relationship haha. Thank you!

@_@ It's 7:30 AM and I've been awake since 3:00 PM yesterday and it's going to be 90°+ today and every day for the next two weeks. ... I will be staying awake to try to reset my sleep. I'm going to start with coffee and a cinnamon bun. Things may get loopy. @_@

Alrighty! Finally got my OCs on #artfight so that the people I attacked can get their revenge. 👀 I'm actually excited to see what happens! You all have such great styles!
