#she drew

I’ve been in a humongous art block/rut that made it near impossible to make anything. I got myself out of it, however, by going back to basics in a sense. Mouse-only art (no scanned lines done on paper nor lines drawn with a pen tablet) always makes me feel a little safer and more comforted? I don’t know how to explain in, but it’s a strong suit of mine. And MS Paint doesn’t put pressure on me for things to look good, so the combination is very good :D

I will say, while the sketch, coloring, and first phase of line art (the part where I put lines over the sketch) was done completely in MS Paint, I did jump to FireAlpaca for the second phase of the line art. Transform and line tools are very nice and speed up the process of cleaning up/making pretty lines, but tbh the main reason for the jump was because MS Paint limits how far you can zoom in :’) and that wasn’t cutting it for me. I did keep the blocky line art style however, mostly because coloring in MS Paint does not work if your lines have anti-aliasing. Oh, I also used FireAlpaca to quickly make the palette that I used for coloring. It was just quicker that way.

I’m not entirely sure what “my version” of Becky and the other WG characters are gonna look like. I had done some studies on her, but I hated them as much as I hated everything else coming out of my hands. I did put that knowledge to use though, and that plus the two reference images I used got me where I needed to be. (Heck, I wasn’t even originally intending for this to be a finished piece!) This art is pretty faithful to the show’s style (notice that I let Becky keep her eyelashes even though I have a not-so-secret anti-eyelash agenda, lol) and I embraced that. I don’t know if I’ll continue to do this.

Re: the hair; this is a technique I’ve been thinking about in theory for a while. So it’s not technically new, but this is my first time trying it in a way that like, makes sense. I mixed my usual MS Paint shading/blending technique with what I used for my drawing of Nurse and my drawing of Fae.

WiP shots under the cut!

She puts so much work and effort into her art and she deserves so much.

I'd love to see her happy, and getting the recognition she deserves.

Her art is amazing and she deserves praise. She's an amazing person, you will not regret following her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ! @archieblizz and I present to you a celebration of your existence as interpreted by us! This is one of our secrets that involve @nxsuper and I hope you enjoy them all! (And it WAS a drawing of Nightbot, just... with some extra stuff. And “B” stood for Birthday.) Not to mention that this beautiful piece was mostly done in the car with the bottom left corner of the laptop being used as a mouse.

Send 🎁 for my muse to give yours a gift.

OOC;//She has some really hip glasses and idk how I feel about her coloring ;w;
