Every time I go swimming i end up making more pooltoy art 🏖️

Random Pooltoy OC. The colors could be better, but I was mostly focusing on shape.

I decided to pooltoy-ify my fursona finally

I drew…?

So

I decided to use a little tutorial I found to actually try doing rubber in a good way in my mobile sketch app (left is sketch, middle is my normal hatch shading method for shiny rubber, and right is what I attempted)

CW: rubber and cute nulge below <3

This was a good test, and in retrospect I would’ve been more consistent with light source (and also use a reference lol), but I decided it would probably look better if I drew it in CSP where I could draw it properly. So I did :3

Left is original sketch, right is render:

With this one, I decided to really keep the lineart more consistent and have a better shape as a result, which helped a lot in selling the rubber shading better. I even did it on the nose for fun. X3c

It also helped me to keep the shading more consistent with the face’s geometry (but again i didn’t use reference hueh-) as well as keeping the light consistent too.

I even did a second drawing of my oc full rubber’d up with this shading, and that one I’m super proud of tbh-

I feel really proud of this practice I’ve done (it’s not much, but I like it!) and i feel like I could possibly use it more, though maybe simplifying it with the multiple steps it took for each part of the shading ^w^;
