[wip / doodle] balls
🕑 Added 2020-10-07 12:56:47 +0000 UTCThe way I draw doodle is a little different than usual my art style.
I used to drawing fan art as a hobby, this light art style was created for speed drawing to effectively express emotions rather than good quality and perfection. I feel comfortable drawing like this when I doodles.
I thought there might be someone curious about the process, so I prepared it.
When coloring, you can make light from the dark, or make darkness from light.
If my usual style is close the former, this is the latter.
1. Shape
2. Sketch
For better drawing, it's better to clean up the sketch one more time here, but this is just a doodle for fast so I finished it here
I'm not trying to draw nicely, but just having fun, so I don't care if the anatomy is wrong, the right arm is drawn thicker than the left arm, or six fingers are drawn. I'm just satisfied if what I want to say is delivered. Like round animals are cute.
3. text
I wrote the name because some people may not know what kind of animal it is.
Not this case, but If i draw cartoons, it is sometimes the most time-consuming part for searching right English expression. This was one of the reason that I haven't been actively drawing cartoons in the meantime, but this is getting better as time goes by! 😝Anyway, not everyone can read English, so I prefer to be able to express without writing as much as possible.
4. Separation of background and picture
5. Painting
6. One tone more coloring
6. Very little detail and correction
The eyes are the most important part.
So I retouched the eyes and added a white for little gloss effect.
To make it feel softer, I added a Photoshop Adjustments effect. photoshop Adjustments is the best part of digital painting.
After I created doodle account last week, I was so excited, made so many doodles haha... I'll focus to next illust and bring new artworks soon👍
Thanks!

Thanks! The pin design of the garden eel appeared in the very first vote, but I think they were unfortunately eliminated in third place.

I hardly turn on a fish tank light. my room is sunny. But because I go to bed at 4 or 6 am, the problem may be that the fish tank is not completely dark.

Love your little balls... i switched back to the axolotl theme again today and i love it. Prays for an axolotl pin... or garden eel one.

The struggle of fishtanks... how long do you keep your lights on? If they're on for too long it can encourage algae growth. I have mine set for 8 hours/day and it's helped reduce algae a lot.
