I keep losing steam with my previous WIPs and so I start doodling at a new one while in the middle of it. The second one I didn't bother to save at a higher resolution since it's just a bunch of my sketch lines; this way you can kind of see the general picture rather than the details (lack thereof). On the first one there's a lot of contrast with the black and white which doesn't give off a nice whipped cream feel, but when I lighten it up it feels pretty good. Still debating whether or not to add the drippy stuff; on one hand it creates some interest up at the top in where I feel I left too much white space but on the other I dunno if it just makes it look too cluttered and/or messy.

Disneyland~!


I'm having fun drawing all the chibi people :D I initially wanted to create multiple pieces of everyone but the thought of that left me burnt out so I decided to create a collage-type thing instead. Lolita dresses take up so much space that I didn't want to have to fight for real estate which was why I went for the chibi route.

Trying to stay true to form with the dresses and the prints; it's not something I do very often.

Man, I hate drawing glasses T_T.

Lolita really skews with my proportions...still trying to figure that out. I tend to draw dresses with really high waists which kind of throw off where the legs should go and stuff. I find if I look at this for too long the limbs start feeling weird or off to me.

A Couple New Sketches Tonight





Had some ideas I wanted to draw out instead of continuing with my other stuff. I dunno what direction to take yet.

They Have Arms!!

Meta Amalolis





At first glance the two images look similar but I was actually stumped on how to solve the problem with the print on their dresses. The first one I lowered the opacity on the print pattern so it wasn't as strong of a focal point than the second image. It started to feel kind of jumbled and messy.








It probably doesn't look like there were any changes but I went and warped the horizontal pattern a little bit so it flows a little better. It doesn't bother me as much and I didn't feel like I destroyed all the work I put into the pattern. I also went and made another one for their socks and I think that also helps in balancing it all out. It sits better overall and I've got opacity for everything at 100%.

Finished the last of the hair so I can quit feeling uneasy about it :P

Starting to work on arms; something I find both fun and frustrating to do.

Ctrl+J has been my favorite shortcut to use on this so far (Copy layer).
