Realized I drew Corveil more than once this week for some warm-ups – so, here they are!
First is a line drawing from Wednesday. There are a few things I’ve been meaning to explore updating in Corveil’s design – mainly his hair and eye color. He originally had dark brown hair and blue eyes, and for a while I’ve been drawing him with either dark or light brown hair, and amber eyes. The amber eyes have stuck around for a while because I have a lore reason for him having them, but I’ve been thinking of changing them to either yellow-green or blue-green for various reasons. This one shows yellow-green.
I rather like this sketch, I wouldn’t mind cleaning this one up to something more presentable sometime.
This is practice warm-up I’ve been fiddling with this week. Tried the blue-green eyes here.
The other thing I felt like practicing with this one was jumping into painting instead of focusing more on the lines first. That’s how I used to draw more, before “rediscovering” how I apparently do enjoy drawing with lines over the past year or two, haha. But sometimes I like to draw with this other method too, and see what results. I started this one on Tuesday, and added more to it this morning as today’s warm-up.
It’s still an enjoyable method to me, but it takes me longer to arrive where I want to (compared with figuring out some of the construction with lines earlier on), and it lacks the personality I think better comes through when I start with a line sketch now.
Even just the expression, his intended personality shows much more clearly in the first sketch at the top of this post, compared with the painting practice. These are both also construction drawing from imagination practices.
Site updates
Also, some site updates! It’s not enough to warrant a full “site updates” post, but I wanted to jot it down somewhere for myself.
It’s mainly typography-related:
