Description Ive always wanted to try out those 'draw the squad' meme things, and stumbled across this one


Just had to do it with my babes. The two center characters are currently unnamed, but they are super gay for eachother. Blue hair boy is the little one, the other guy is much taller. On the left is the brown haired boys sister, Iris. And on the right, we've got my child Vinnie. Vinnie is the quieter one of the group, a bit awkward. Iris is the excitable leader. Blue is just adorable, a bit childish but totally fun loving. And tall boy is a bit more reserved and surprisingly easily embarrassed, but also very protective of his group. Hes like a papa bear. 

the three on the right were adopted designs, but developed by me.

also, vinnie looks a bit thinner than they should oops

i'm curious as to how you did this. did you save the file and draw over it, like a base, or did you just use the original picture as a reference, or what?

I put the base on a lower level and drew over it, but not exactly on a lot of spots (i changed things like the boys feet, and the tall guys arm). It was really fun, espcially since i usually struggle with drawing people. The base allowed me to really go for character and not worry about poses and anatomy for the most part

oh, so you just traced over it except for other details... what kind of brush did you use? it looks so smooth. but yeah i use bases as pose refs a lot of the time, but i used to trace them when i just wanted to worry about digital art

Basically yeah, it was just a fun exercise for me

I used the ink pen brush in SAI, with the stabilizer on high. Makes for really smooth lines

I kind of want to try it, as i had this same meme saved in my favourites, but wasn't sure how to go about it, eheh
oh i don't have sai I should save up for it maybe but it looks like it has really good quality

just go for it! cant hurt to give it a shot

and yeah, the quality is quite nice. It is lacking in some other areas, though. photoshop has a lot more brushes available and has certain things that sai doesnt. But sai is really nice for line stability and the watercolor brushes are my favorite
