Trying to draw more. It's too hot to draw , yet here we are trying to draw anyways..

Unina, a fellow partymember from my pathfinder campaign. Birthday gift for HauntedbySomething.

I drew pokémon from memory to raise money to get myself Pokopia. Enjoy my little scrungly guys. ^^

Lemon (Ignore that I totally posted this to the wrong blog before. Oops.)

Drew Olympic Figure Skaters LOPAREVA Evgeniia / BRISSAUD Geoffrey. They used Blue from Eiffel 65 amongst others and I just really liked their set. Wish I'd been able to grab more screenshots of specific moves that really highlighted their personality. But I wasn't able to last night and I can't watch it back anymore. ;-;

Some months were better than others this year, hence the sketches. I also made an entire Vtube model spanning part of August and September, I felt that was worthwhile to include. Next year I should do more studies and practice.

Uploading some of my old art reminded me of how much I enjoyed drawing gems in the past. So I tried my hand at it again. Although this time I kept my brush strokes more loose.

You’ve hit the nail right on the head. Part of making translucent objects really feel see-through is starting with the background and environment around them first. (Sometimes you can cheat if you keep the background very simple and abstract and focus wholly on the gem itself. But you’ll still need to be mindful about what colours you select for your background as not to create a dissonant feeling between the two.) My fascination drawing shiny transparent things actually started with potions. And moved into gemstones from there. Part of what started me on my art journey were cocktail drawings with cute chibi’s in them by Naschi that’d I’d seen on deviantart back in the day. I really wanted to draw sparkly looking drinks like that myself and that’s how my journey in drawing all things shiny began.

Posting a lot of my old art because I realised I never shared it here.

Posting a bunch of my backlog as I realised I never showed half of what I made on here. I really like drawing gems, either from close reference or just trying to capture the feel of them. ^^
