Hime Looooo

Kind of a massive image post; mostly due to being lazy in keeping track of my progress.

Inspiration to color this hit me the other day when I was hanging out with Justin, Andre, and Tong and everyone was doing a bit of show-and-tell. Since I've been drawing mostly to decompress after a day of work I've been sticking to areas I'm familiar with so I haven't been challenging myself. But after we hung out it kind of gave me this newfound sense of inspiration and motivation to try and color this. I feel incredibly rusty doing this, BTW.

One last big update before vacation~!

Irene

Continuing on my sketch for looooo (man, remembering how many O's are in her name is hard!). I almost lost it on the details; it almost was a pain in the ass to do since there's a lot of stuff happening in that border print. Also there's the pressure on wanting to do a good job since this is her dream dress and all.

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.

Meta Amalolis - Complete

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.
