I give you a verbose description of the things I’ve drawn recently. I’ve drawn more than this, but since these are established characters and storylines on my blog, I’ll share them since I am comfortable.
Of course, a wonky, anatomically and structurally bad picture of Vivian that I struggled to color with accuracy (from my head) Vivian has a look that looks like Flurisha. Drawn with a less humanistic palette, I could color him more accurately. This is closer to his more realistic body update where he has more of a human skin tone instead of an oil painting look, his eyes can see a lot differently, his body is sensitive and he has human-like parts. He hates this update and wants to hurt himself to get rid of it. So…you know…things happen. This is a very wet picture of Feyondo or Zhan. I jacked it up (his face vaguely doesn’t look like him but I was getting impatient and wanted to paint😂) a little but it looks good to me and great in person. These are all paints I made myself. (If y’all wanted to know how his skin color is, this is a bit warm and he’s lighter, but it’s the closest I’ve gotten! (Again, based of how he looks in my head.This one isn’t a character. I was doing a line and facial features study where I am not looking at a reference (typically I don’t and that’s why my art is wonky; I don’t want y’all to think I am completely going in raw. I’m not, I look at pictures beforehand. The thing is, I tend to not have pictures printed out so I go on my phone and get distracted and don’t use a reference). I think she’s very beautiful that I hope I can draw her again.Look y’all…I was in bad lighting and graphite absolutely is horrible to take a picture of so you see this picture. She’s also apart of the study. I tried to change the features a bit to see what I could get but then just drew a beautiful woman.😂 Oh well.This character has a filler name of Alfonso or Damien. He is a product of an affair. His mom cheated with an northern Ini man (Voli/I’ll explain in another post) and he was jacked up. I don’t know how to explain how race works without having a separate post because it would be confusing. Anywho, he received most of his mom’s features, even how her eyes are formatted, but her eye shape. He is tasked with the burden of hiding his face and eyes from his mom’s husband. It gave him a lot of discomfort in his life, but some of it helped with wearing makeup. Since men aren’t allowed to walk into women spaces; it implies that he stole from them or got someone else to buy it. This causes him again, a lot of discomfort in a different way because he’s dressed up as a woman and Bamygdala has very strict gender roles and rules. Frequently, people throw food at him, shun him, throw rocks at him, or he’ll get beat up. Anywho, this is Tatmtar and Lupita’s (Flurisha’s) friend. I can’t put his whole bio on here (especially when I haphazardly don’t have any drawings and just a mediocre written story on OneNote hehe😓) so I will not. This is him with light makeup on.As y’all can see, I did my typical busts like usual.😵💫 I really need to stop doing that, but I really like drawing faces. Like really like them.😣 I am scared of drawing bodies for the characters because of personal issues. I’ll get over it, but for now, I’ll have to work on that. I don’t have the cool sketchbooks that have spreads. I just have thousands of spirals and book appearances.
Since I over wrote on the captions and not down here because I was too overly excited to write about them all, I’m not going to write much down here.
Thank you for talking to me. I’ll see you. Stay safe and hydrated!
I know right. After I was done drawing her, I was like dang, she’s beautiful. Some characters I draw are so pretty and some of them are just yikes (I still love them the same).
Anyone does, but you have to enjoy what you make, even if it’s not “good.” My art isn’t great to everyone, but I’ve gained a lot of confidence over the years to try new things.
But even then, your poems are a lot like a painting or drawing. All of them are different yet are you. A picture is worth a thousand words but words are worth a thousand pictures and all are so different to different people.
Yes, I prefer to paint with my words. My poems are not beautiful but are me. Any art form is an expression of self. I am more comfortable using words.
To each her own, I guess.
I always enjoy how diverse your characters are. And that they all have an interesting story to them. The expressions are also interesting. I can never do that when I draw people. My drawings usually don’t have any expressions lol.
I don’t think I can draw without using reference. They come out very generic looking. You’ve done a great job. Each character looks unique, and there’s excellent texturing.
I used to be like that. I had generic faces for the past 12 years of drawing. I study people’s features before I draw them and I drew a lot of characters in the past looking at references with my face. In fact, all the characters with names on my blog are drawn with an abstraction of my face with features added on.
If you notice too, I draw characters that have strange anatomical features that aren’t human. I don’t think I could capture the realness of an actual human without looking at a reference. They’re still wonky.
You probably can develop that skill, I didn’t develop reference skills very well so a lot of times my art will end up looking too much like the reference. Keep using references because it’s so much more worth it and your style will be more complex.😂
But thank you sooo much. I appreciate it. I struggle with characters looking unique.☺️
What did you bring to the potluck?

All of these are beautiful. I’m really drawn to the one with “where is it?” written beside her. She’s captivating.

I suck at drawing. So I really admire your talent and the uniqueness of each character.
