And also, a version without his spikes because we love a good furrowed brow

Ooookay now that whatever that was is over, here's an illustration of me and my roommate buying and eating an overpriced slice of watermelon during a fit of desperation brought upon us by the hottest summer yet (and in our new place without the AC as well)

What a joy it is to suffer through it together

The lighting in this is nonsensical but one will break whatever rules it takes to make an illustration look more interesting

Character art for my two guys and a matching doodle :) It's over a year old at this point but I figure it still looks good and somewhat accurate to what the characters are nowadays~ Ah if only I could spend my whole career drawing expressionless humans making vague poses without any defined background or context..

Still, I guess this looks cool and I'm happy with it aesthetically but more than anything I'm happy with what I learned while making it

Can you tell the background was a complete afterthought?

I tried to do something more clean and less painterly compared to my usual stuff but I feel like I failed on so many levels 🥲🥲🥲

Overall I didn't plan this as well as I should have and I really don't manage classic lineart and coloring well digitally, it's never been my strong suit and I have zero idea how to improve it. My intention for the lighting was for it to be that type of strong flash light that is trendy in photography but it kinda just looks washed out... Overall, I gotta do some studies if I ever wanna do a proper comic

Please give me advice on how to improve my lineart and the overall workflow for this type of drawing🙏🙏
