Description I wanted to simplify some of my character designs, particularly in the way that I construct them. I want to be able to draw them out with simple shapes, while making their designs clearer, as well as more expressive. It's likely I'll continue to use this "simple construction" mindset when making comics in the future. Let me know what you guys think!

Why must your stuff be so delightful? My sketches never come out this well. Maybe I need a new tablet, like one that has a screen of its own.

Honestly it's all practice. I can sketch just like this on pencil and paper, the tools you use honestly don't really matter. Just keep practicing and setting goals for yourself!

That is my point exactly. My pencil-and-paper sketches end up better than my SAI sketches.

Two characters of mine. I've got big plans for them!

Your stuff always looks great.
I do agree with Mr. Martinez on Casey's head though.
Perhaps you need more of an ovalish rectanglish shape instead of a circle.

The simplification works really well with Marine. Β The construction of her body is super-clear too, with strong shapes for the legs.

With Casey however, I personally preferred it when she had more pronounced cheeks like this >Β 
My suggestion would be to add it just a touch preserving the roundness of the cranium, and keeping Marine's head shape unique as well.
Otherwise, the overall design has a wonderful, streamlined look. Other than that, keep it up!

Some of the expressions on Marine remind me a bit of Pearl's expressions from Steven Universe. Its good to see that your reworking your characters in different ways.Β

Aw, lovely to see them again! >u<

I think they'll work rather nicely! (though Casey's round head is gonna need some getting used to) But the feel of this certainly reminds me of a really fun and quirky cartoon I love~

I say you did a great job simplifying them! They retained themselves really well, keep it up!

Not a bad idea, methinks. It's additionally good that neither character has lost anything in translation; both retain their likenesses and range of expression, albeit with simpler anatomy.

Can't wait to see these in action!

RedBlooper In reply to Mustard-Halibut [2014-07-18 00:33:19 +0000 UTC]

I tried my best to not remove any of the appeal of how I usually draw these two. Also, I find that Casey's range of expression has greatly increased thanks to the rounder face!
