From whimsical to stoic. I imagine this character is a bodyguard, hence why she’s standing to attention. It was only after I finished the drawing did I realise the complexion looked kinda like another character from a game I’ve seen. I was experimenting with some of the other brushes for shading, especially her tunic, and… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 09

First princess drawing! The final colour palette was inspired by so many tales/sagas of farie queens being described with gold hair and green dresses. As nice as the scanned picture was, when I redrew the lineart I just HAD to redraw the plait. While I was doing so I thought ‘hey, the tiara and jewelry… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 08

This character is just chilling at a table, idly adjusting her bracelets. So this is the first of my redrawings where I added that ‘light hitting something shiny’ effect, or bling. I also wanted to have some fun with colourful clothes, so pink and yellow it is. Again, using the black and white version as… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 07

After all that colour blending, back to cel shading for now. This character is disgruntled because of all that paper work she’s holding. I normally draw characters who are smiling or with whimsical/neutral expressions, so drawing something like this was interesting. You may notice two things about the eyes- 1.

I don’t actually play the flute so I have no idea if this would work or would be uncomfortable. Again with… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 05

Another test with just black and white. I had also recently watched Dreamwork’s The Prince of Egypt and was inspired (could you tell?) The jawline and facial proportions particularly were interesting to draw, as well as testing a different brush for the hair to give it a subtly different texture. I’m not sure where I… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 04

Next one that I redrew is actually one of my personal favourites. Complete with scan lineart, black & white AND colour. This was slightly different from my usual style, especially with the makeup, hair and even posture. I tried to covey she was a dance enthusiast with a chill personality. At the bottom are little… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 02

Here’s the start of another collection/series I’m doing. For a while now I’ve been mostly doing pencil on paper drawings. Recently, I redrew them digitally. Mostly, I find it easier to draft onto tangible paper, benefiting from the control of a pencil but after scanning it onto a computer I find colours and final drawing… Continue reading Snippet Redraw 01
