Description I know it sucks!

Ok, now that that's out of the way XD This is a pretty quick drawing I did while avoiding an anth paper I have to do...google images with certain search terms and discuss what pops up using terms from class. Easy, but a pain

So I did this instead! Hurray for Briar and Whisper They're always handy when i feel like drawing fluff ^^

Also, I needed to practice profiles. I found a trick, now I just need to get it down XD

I do love that couch, lol.

Briar's head is too small in the second piece...I may color this and fix it as a birthday present for myself

Aww, this is so cute and simple and lovely Especially both their faces (and just all of Briar)! Only thing I'd mention is that if Whisper's sitting on that couch and not floating on its surface in the first piccy, the cushions need to be depressed a little more, I think. But that's a really minor point When was/is your birthday then? If it hasn't happened yet, I might whip out my pencils and draw you some nice Circle fanart...

Thanks!! And true, I tend to forget about gravity when it comes to couches

It was in December though if you wanna draw me something I won't complain

Gravity? What is this thing you speak of?

Hmm, I might just do that ... I could draw you ... NIKO. HAHAHA. No, I'll be nice, but I'll do you something! HAPPY REALLY LATE BIRTHDAY!

It exists i tell you!

Rofl, thank you!! And you should draw Niko anyways, seeing as you're claiming him

moosewingz In reply to Whisperwings [2011-02-10 10:28:04 +0000 UTC]

I believe you not!

Lol! Oh, I will definitely draw Niko anyways, but I might not draw him for you. I always feel a slight sense of dread when I draw a character I really like, because I want them to look right but I'm always scared I won't be able to get it right... Sigh. BUT NIKO OMG.

WHY ARE GUYS SO MUCH HARDER THAN GIRLS? WHAT IS WITH THAT? Lol. Ah well. I guess practice makes perfect, right?

And I really like your Briar!

Whisperwings In reply to moosewingz [2011-02-13 06:49:38 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, it sucks! With girls, we have curves which makes it easier to get them on paper. guys don't, so they never look right when i try >.<

moosewingz In reply to Whisperwings [2011-02-13 15:35:20 +0000 UTC]

I know! But I think you're right about the curves thing. Because the temptation with guys is always to just make them completely straight/flat, but they're not, then you try to give them some shape and they just look like girls! ARGH.

BUT BUT BUT. I've been drawing lots of Niko for the past couple of days to try to work out his design (although I've been cheating and only drawing his head/face for now) and I think I've got it basically sorted Like, I was doodling him today in a talk (you know, as you do) and then I looked at what I'd drawn and was just like "Yes. That is Niklaren Goldeye."

So now I just need to work out a full body design, lol!

... And work out why almost every picture I draw of him looks unimpressed, grumpy or sad. Mostly unimpressed though.

Whisperwings In reply to moosewingz [2011-02-14 00:42:50 +0000 UTC]

EXACTLY. I end up cheating and putting them in loose clothes and just making their arms look buff. Then it's the best I can get for a guy, lol.

Ooooo yay! I love that moment, it's just exciting

because it's Niko, and he's a tad snooty

moosewingz In reply to Whisperwings [2011-02-14 03:14:09 +0000 UTC]

OMG I KNOW. I used to try to give them 'manly' shoulders too, but that was a fail. Ahahaha. A superhero me and a friend are designing got a crotch bulge, since he's wearing lycra or spandex or something, LOL.

I know! Now it's all like "NOOO, I can't work, I have to finish Niko!" though, which is a bit frustrating. When I get my scanner, I think I might put together a design sheet for him, you know, showing how I got to the final design. Maybe. I want it mainly for me, but I might post it to dA as well

... Yeah, I guess that pretty much covers it. Lol!

Whisperwings In reply to moosewingz [2011-02-14 08:32:45 +0000 UTC]

Ugh, evil shoulders...evil guys in general, lol. And yeah, that does tend to be a pretty good hint that they're male

It's always right then that class ends and you have to pack up and leave to >.> I bought a small sketchbook just for doodling in class so I don't get stuck with drawings on lined paper anymore, lol. And you should post it here! It's great fun later to go back and see all the improvements you've made

Oh, it's terrible! You can't draw!

I think it's good to notice your own mistakes or at least never be fully satisfied because you'll always want to improve.

But this is still cute!
