Character Sketchings

[Fayne]

So, hopefully on or near Monday I will be getting my drawing supplies back, and I was planning on taking the opportunity to make a sketch of Fayne and post it here. I also wanted to offer the opportunity for people to PM me descriptions of their characters, and I don't mean what the game provides either. Tell me what they look like in your mind, and I'll try to draw them.

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some of my older drawings to give you an idea of my drawing skills and styles. Unfortunately, I could only find two of my frawibgs hidden in my phone's files, and one of them is over 10 years old, I believe. (It's the one in color) Anyway, the sketch without color is closer to my current style, so yeah.

I will upload the others I have as soon as I either find them or am able to get them scanned back in to my phone.

You're very talented!

Yay art! Thanks for sharing.

I have a cape just like that at home.

These I believe are the only two full-body drawings I've got. All the others are heads only. I also don't have any male characters drawn up and stashed away, but I can draw them. Heh

Also, I have to admit that I did use references for these drawings. No tracing was done, obviously, but these were back when I was just trying to copy images over to perfect my technique. These character deawings will be the first I do totally from scratch, so this will be a sort of experiment as well. Here's hoping everything turns out looking good!

References are always okay! Even professionals use them. Just think of figure drawing, where people draw nude models as a reference so they can better their craft. Or, rather, literally anyone who has ever existed using one thing in their life as reference/inspiration for something else. It's never anything to be ashamed of. That said, you have a neat style. :> I look forward to seeing your finished products.

Just an update on this: I did not manage to grab my sketching set while I was home, so I'm gonna try finding the necessary equipment to improvise soon. Stand by.

Alright, so, I still don't have my art supplies, but I did go ahead and buy a regular ol' lined notebook, so if ypu don't mind the sketching having lines through it, I can go ahead and sketch up some characters. I may consider adding in some shading to help mask the lines a bit as well, we'll see.

Also, I managed to find more of my old art buried in my Facebook profile! So, enjoy:

:D too bad you can't get your supplies, but happy you are still gonna start anyway. Excited to see some more of your stuff!
