I've Decided That I'm Gonna Try To Draw Up A Quick Expression Every Day As Practice, So Here's Number

I've decided that I'm gonna try to draw up a quick expression every day as practice, so here's number one! ^-^

Well, number two if you count my latest little drawing lol

He kinda looks like Cherry Blossom from SK8, I realised just now bahahaha

Here he is!! The finished boy!! :D

May I present, twenty-something-year-old Pirate Captain Jim Hawkins:

Along with some close-ups and fun facts, of course, the latter of which will be under the cut ^-^

The cross necklace is actually a small reference to a real pirate, who lived during the golden age of piracy! Bartholomew Roberts was known to wear a diamond-encrusted gold cross around his neck ^-^

The moon pendant is, - surprise surprise - a reference to Montressor Spaceport :] (and the diamond of course represents Montressor itself)

I've also given him a blue long coat, party because blue actually was one of the colours that commonly appeared in pirate attire, but also as a little homage to Captain Amelia, since that felt like a very in-character thing for Jim to do. The red details in his get-up aren't there for no reason, either, as he wears them in memory of Mr. Arrow

This doodle was so incredibly fun to make, and there weren't really any major hiccups anywhere along the way!

I'm most happy with his face and the red sash around his waist. I'm extremely satisfied with how the lighting ended up making it look like a very luxurious fabric, just like I wanted it to :]

What is that weird cluster of glowing orbs, you ask? I have no idea lmfao

Mysterious light sources and pretty pirates aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Greetings, friends!

I know I missed yesterday's expression-drawing, but I have a good reason!! I was celebrating my grandmother's 70th birthday, and I got home at like 22:00 TTvTT

Either way, here's day two of drawing a new expression each day! :D

Today's character is enjoying the sunlight ^-^

I tried to put some more thought into the rendering this time, and I think I did alright!

I'm super happy with how his hair turned out, I had a lot of fun with it and I think it looks really cool :]

(I might be a little biased towards rat-tails and mullets though bahahaha)

By the way, constructive criticism and suggestions on which expressions I should draw are very welcome! I don't know if I've mentioned this already, ignore it if I have ^-^

Pretty heliophilic elves aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Aaaaaah thank you friend!! For some reason I've been *reeeally* drawn to bnha while looking for things to doodle recently bahahaha

I really appreciate it ^-^🧡

Hello, peeps!

Following the theme of my previous post, here's another BNHA character the way I picture them in my mind! ^-^

And a close-up of course, I did not put all that detail in there for tumblr to crunchify the image and make my efforts fruitless lmfao

I spent a decent amount of time on his scar, and I think it paid off! In my opinion, it looks quite beautiful :]

I almost posted this with the image flipped, but I caught myself just in time bahahaha

I flip my doodles back and forth several times throughout the drawing process, which I've now discovered can be a dangerous game if I'm doodling a character with distinct differences between their left and right sides TTvTT

Artistic close calls and heterochromatic cinnamon rolls aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

Hello peeps!

Here's day three of drawing a new expression (and consequently, a new character) each day ^-^

Their furthermost eye kept fighting me on the iris-placement, so they'll just have to have a slight lazy-eye! Lmao

I don't know how visible it is, but it's a fun little detail about the character either way ^-^

I'm not sure how I would title this expression, other than 'cocky', perhaps fuckboy is more accurate

Their gender is a complete mystery to me tbh, @thescribblings commented that they feel very sapphic, but my initial plan was to draw a man! Maybe they're genderfluid just like me :]

I feel like I'm getting pretty good at rendering!! And I'm super happy with how the mouth turned out, that perspective is always so tricky for me TTvTT

Freckly characters with confusing genders aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

Alrighty!

If I don't respond right away, I'm probably sleeping lmao

Just a little heads-up, in case that happens ^-^

anyone want to do an art colab? :3
