Drawing Post #7 - Cardcaptor Sakura

Good Evening!

Just a small update today. I have a bigger one planned but I haven't had the chance to do it yet!

I thought I would share something I drew a while ago.

Cardcaptors! I love this anime so much. I watched it recently, I cried like I did back when I was younger. Moreso this time round because I understood the feelings of things a bit more.

Let us start with Sakura


 
This is a given. Drawing her was a must I think. I really enjoyed drawing her.
 

Shaoran Li. I loved this character. I have just noticed I never drew the detail on the talismans. Ah well! Still looks amazing regardless. His outfit was really fun to draw.

This anime will forever have a place in my heart. ^__^

I may even draw some other characters at some point in the future.

Drawing Post #6 - Ah! My Goddess!

Hello!

This is another drawing post! I have a lot to post. Haha!

This particular drawing I adore, it took me a while to draw, however it is a shame I no longer have the original. I regret giving it away.

It is a drawing of one of the characters from Ah! My Goddess. This series is kinda special to me due to reasons which I will not go into.

So here we have the WIP of the pencil!


 
 
Belldandy! Yay! I absolutely love Belldandy from the anime series. I got to this point and didn't want to ruin it. I was worried that drawing the hair was going to be difficult and I'd get frustrated and throw it away

 
WIP2 - By this point, I am glad I didn't throw it away. I was so happy with this I encouraged myself to complete it.
 

Irritatingly enough, I completed it then realised I had some weird smudge on her nose. I still love this regardless! The hair took me ages to do, an hour maybe? Damn that hair!

This is where I got silly. I loved the image so much I scanned it onto my pc and decided to attempt to digitally colour her. Considering I had never coloured anything on a pc before, I was pretty happy with the result.
 
Annoying how the colouring is different on each monitor that I see this on. *sigh* ah well. I carried on and this was the end result.


I am happy with it, I didn't get around to learning how to do shadowing or anything, I was more upset at the fact that her skin is too dark. I didn't realise this until I had completed it.

I had a lot of fun drawing this picture. I do wish I had kept it now. But I still have the digital copy so I cannot complain too much.

I do need to try and practice to do digital colour, it was fun when I was doing it, but frustrated I didn't know enough to make it perfect.

Practice makes perfect! I hope you like this, and I hope you enjoy drawing your favourite characters as much as I do!

Until next time!

Drawing Post #5 - Digimon

Good Evening!

I thought I would take you down memory lane.

I went through a phase where I drew a lot, because my other-half was across the world for 6 months, I didn't know what to do with myself.

I restarted watching Digimon Adventure!

I have loved that anime since I was small, I still love it now after so many years!

Whilst I was watching, I decided to draw some of the characters!

 First off, here we have Tai and Mat. I have always been a fan of Mat, I have no idea why, I just have. :3

 
 
Next up, here we have Mimi and Sora. I love a lot of the characters, they have their sense of purpose which I think is the point.
 

 
Here we have Izzy and Joe. These two characters always made me smile, because they were the "geeks" of the group and somehow always managed to help the gang get out of trouble.
 

Unfortunately, I never got around to drawing TK and Kari. My two favourite characters and I never actually drew them. I watched the second series more for those two than I did anything else.

I am not very good with drawing full body images so I feel very happy about these. :3

I may even re-watch the series again!

I have been tempted to try and draw their digimon at some point. Hmm.

Drawing Post #4

Hello again!

Yes it is another post, already!

Like I said I have a lot of old artwork I want to post up before I start posting up new things! I hope it doesn't bore you.

This one is a lot of drawings thrown into one. I was going through a phase.

A My Little Pony Phase.

This was only a few years ago, I enjoyed the series and I enjoyed the characters. It was something fun I enjoyed with friends.

Anywho I decided to draw a few of the characters, which I found rather fun!

So here we have Fluttershy!


Princess Luna!

Vinyl Scratch!

Princess Celestia!

Derpy!

I only drew a few, I ended up getting more hours at work and didn't really have time to draw much.

It seems silly, but isn't that the point? Find silly and fun things in life and enjoy it?

The most fun to draw had to be Fluttershy, I love her as a character- I think she is adorable. I loved putting the little detail on her outfit. I also liked drawing Celestia, trying to get the detail in. Beautiful!

Which is your favourite pony, if you have one? Want me to try and draw it? Hehe!

Drawing Post #3

Hello there!

Again with another drawing post! I do love drawing, I go through stages of where I can draw well and then there are times I really suck at it.

This one is another Gundam one!

I do love Gundam anime, my favourites would have to be Wing and Seed/Destiny.

Lets start off with some WIPs!


I decided to draw Lacus and Athrun from Gundam Seed. I love this pairing even though it doesn't happen in the anime. I love both of the characters personalities too

I was very happy when it got to this stage. I didn't want to do any more with it, but I was encouraged to keep going.


I finally got around to drawing the hands. Oh my word I hate them so much, I tried and tried but it just didn't look right. I settled for what we have in the final image.


I do love how it turned out, shame about the hands though! I will eventually get around to digitally colouring this, but I need better software!

I shall be posting a few more drawing posts in the near future, I have a lot of art from the recent years to get on here! Then I will try and keep up with more recent work, and also other activities!

Drawing Post #2

Hey there!

I decided to post another of my drawings!



I decided to draw Betty Boop for a work colleague's birthday. I am rather pleased with how this turned out. She pinned it on the noticeboard in the staffroom. I had plenty of people asking me if I could draw something for them.

I love drawing vintage things like this. I may try and do it again!

Memory lane #1

Hello there!

I thought I would take a trip down memory lane.

I will be posting some of my older drawings and things until I get up to date with this!

I thought I would share this

The save file of this when I scanned it was 2011, I know I drew it later than that.. but I honestly don't remember when. I remember I was looking at someone's fanart of Heero Yui from Gundam Wing. I think it was a fnafiction cover? I have no idea, I loved the art so I thought I would draw it myself.


I would just like to state, that my drawings are usually a "copy" of something else which is used as a reference. I have a very hard time drawings things from the top of my head and my best way of learning on how to draw is to have a reference in front of me and I draw it. I, in no way, claim the idea as my own.

I do love this drawing, the hands aren't perfect, I hate drawing hands to be honest!

I do not trace, all of these are drawn freehand.
