Siffrin Close Up

I'VE FINISHED THE GAME! FINISHED IT THIS PREVIOUS FRIDAY! IT WAS AMAZING! I WON'T GIVE ANY SPOILERS, THOUGH. BUT NOW, I'M REPLAYING THE GAME BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE - THERE'S A SECRET ENDING! When I finished the game, I immediately began watching animatics/animations that I had saved up. But then I saw a spoiler warning about the secret ending. Since I really want to get this ending, I immediately began the game again not even a hour after I finished it. I'm already back in Act 3, but I forgot how long Act 3 is. Though, I'm realizing there's a lot of things I missed in my first playthrough, so I'm still having fun.

Anyhow, onto the drawing. As you can probably tell, I'm better at drawing characters from the shoulder up (honestly, I draw characters from their shoulders up way too much). In this drawing, I was able to do more experimentation with Siffrin's design. I was able to practice drawing faces/head structures. With my previous drawings, the head was too small for me to really do a lot with it. I better at drawing things at a bigger scale at the moment.

I think I'm finally getting a hang of drawing Siffrin's hair. I really love how it looks! It's so fluffy! I think the hair in my other drawings feels too stiff, but the hair in this one feels more free.

I decided I wanted to give Siffrin an eye bag. Considering how exhausted he is, I decided it fit. I mean, Frin has been told they look as though they haven't slept in weeks. So, yeah.

My art app has a colorless blender marker, so I used that for the eye bag. I decided I wanted to experiment a bit more with blending, so I did that for a few of the shadows.

With the angle I was drawing from, I figured we would be able to see the sides of Siffrin's pins. I tried to make them look three-dimensional. I might've made them have too much depth, though. They should probably be thinner. I considered adding a shine to them, but it didn't look right considering how much white is surrounding them.

With all that in mind, I think this is my favorite drawing of Siffrin that I've done. I feel as though this one does the best job at capturing Siffrin's personality. I'm getting closer to a design for them in my art style. It's more stylized and feels more natural. My other drawings of Siffrin feel a bit forced. All in all, I think that I'm getting better at drawing them!

Waiting For Your Replacement

(Warning: This post contains content that has major spoilers for the secret ending of the game In Stars and Time)

This was a complicated drawing for me to make. I could only use three layers for this, so the line art had to be all in one layer. The bottom layer was the background color and Loop's color. The middle layer was Siffrin's color at 50% opacity. Honestly, the hardest part was doing Siffrin's color because Siffrin's line art is so muddled within Loop's line art. Of course, it didn't help that I decided to give them laced-up boots, but, in my defense, laced-up boots are just cool!

I also duplicated this drawing twice and changed it to just show Loop and Siffrin separately.

I really like how they turned out! Throughout the drawing process, I honestly couldn't tell if they looked good. It was in the ugly stage until I finished it. These two versions of the drawing have given me great relief because I can see that I did a good job drawing Loop and Siffrin.

You might notice that the background of the Siffrin version is a bit different. Since I was limited to three layers, I had to take out Loop's color layer.

....Which also included the background color, so I had to redo it on Siffrin's color layer. I should also mention that I actually redid the character line art on a different layer. I used two different colors for the original line art, and just erasing that thoroughly would've been a nightmare. Besides, I had to change Siffrin's line art to black anyway. I then erased the original character line art so that the background line art remained. Considering how shaky the tree's line art was, I didn't want to redo it.

Anyhow, that's all I've really got to say about this drawing. Despite this drawing containing spoilers for the secret ending, I still haven't gotten it nor seen what happens. I just know the basic gist. So, please refrain from sharing with me specific spoilers about it.

And on a somewhat unrelated note, this week I actually brought home the Siffrin bobblehead I made. I might post a picture of it here. But eh, it doesn't really look good. The clay looks wonky in places, though that is to be expected for my first time using it. The hair is the worst part because my art teacher left my bobblehead to dry before I fully finished it. But whatever, it's fine. It's kinda cute.

Anyhow, before I find a way to make this post longer, bye!

STAGNANT CAMPAIGN: Save Hani's Niece and Nephew

Hi all, I would like to spotlight Hani's campaign, which has been severely stagnating for weeks now. This is saddening to watch, especially when they are so close to their goal.

This is Saleh, the daughter of Hani's sister, who is just 3 years old, and her younger brother Huda, who just turned 2 years old during the occupation. Constant fear living under bombardment and months-long food scarcity has robbed them of their childlike joy and infectious energy.

Please help this family evacuate with these two children. They have been forced to give the children cooked dough to eat for months. Fruit and vegetables are extremely hard to come by. This could have serious long term health complications for these growing children.

Hani has multiple siblings who are university students and high school students. They have jobs and dreams that are cut short by the invasion. Please help Hani save them so they can be reunited. Hani has been exiled alone in Belgium away from his family for months.

Only 1 donation in the past 3 hours. This is extremely worrying. Please help us save this family from this stagnant campaign. Please donate whatever you can spare.

Please check out the custom tote bag raffle and the Magikarp plush raffle for donors, the two artists responsible for the raffles have agreed to extend the prizes for Hani's family as well. New custom tote bag design to be released Friday Aug 16.

€43,100 raised of €50,000 goal currently as of August 15, we need to raise €6,900 BY THE END OF DAY SUNDAY so the family can start relocating to southern Gaza in preparation for evacuation.

Little Stans

This was my first time drawing the little Stans. Since I worked on these at around the same time, I thought that posting them together would be fitting. Originally, these were sketchs in my travel sketchbook that I decided to digitalize. Maybe I will actually draw a background for these pictures some time in the future, though I was mostly trying to practice poses when I drew these. By the way, I have drawings of the Pines family. I've drawn Stan, Mabel, and Dipper so far, so make sure to check those drawings out!

The Letter

@ ALL RISE FANS THAT MAKE COMICS & STORIES

So I’ve noticed that in this fandom it’s common to include Deaf/ASL-using-characters into stories, which is honestly AMAZING and makes me SO HAPPY TO SEE, but many of us aren’t deaf we rely on resources, therefore:

My ASL teacher gave us this website cause it’s updates constantly (ASL evolves lots) and it’s a lot more accurate and reliable than just google :))

To work it- type the word, and a word bank will pull up, click on the term u want and a video/description of the sign and word will appear!!!

It’s rlly simple and has most words and if it doesn’t it’s bc it’s finger spelled probs!!!!

If u want more in-depth good grammar, search up “five parameters ASL”, “glossing in ASL” and watch a few videos to see “how sentence structure differs in ASL”

As always, remember it’s ok to make mistakes/notice a mistake, just be mindful and kind :D most of us aren’t out for malice and if someone is it’ll probs be very obv 😭

Happy Creating!!

Edit: A THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE REBLOGS :)) if anyone ever needs any help drop a comment or look at other reblogs!! There’s lot of other resources/tips there!!!

The Shooting Star

Here's my first post (and first finished drawing) of the year. I spent a long time on the background, and I think I did a good job. This was a very experimental piece. First off, I'm using a new art app. I use to use a very outdated Flipaclip to make my drawings, but, when I got my new phone, I could only get the newest version of Flipaclip. Yeah, I absolutely hate it now. I've started using Infinite Painter instead, so my drawings are going to look a bit different now. I was trying to experiment with a pose and with the lighting of the piece. I've been trying to learn anatomy, so I've trying to draw more poses. I also want to get better at lighting in my drawings, so I've been adding light sources to my art. Overall, I really liked how this piece turned out.

Check out my previous drawing of Mabel!

Siffrin

I've been playing a lot of In Stars and Time recently. I haven't finished the game, yet, but I have finished Act 3. As I've been drawing Siffrin, I've realized that their cloak is rather confusing. For the most part, it's depicted as not having sleeves, but, in some scenes, it definitely has sleeves! I've decided that the cloak has been crafted to have sleeves whenever the wearer needs to have sleeves. Anyhow, I tried to make a full-body drawing of them. I'll admit that the pose is kinda boring. I have to practice drawing more poses. Though, I think I did a pretty good job with the anatomy. Also, I couldn't really figure out the expression on his face, but whatever. Despite that, I had fun making this drawing, and I might post more drawings of this game as I get farther in it.

Edit: I have been informed that Siffrin's cloak canonically has no sleeves! So this drawing can be considered inaccurate. (Also, thank you for ignoring that I definitely drew Siffrin's dagger wrong.)

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:
