Doodle Portraits and Gentle Hands
🕑 Added 2024-09-24 18:53:16 +0000 UTCJust wanted to do some quick, fun portraits for a few buds. (Hash's Sobek, Halkyov's Adazhan, DerpyDrake's Arkees, and Zank's Astrum) Also tested out doing a more toon-y and cell shaded style. Not something I'm used to, but it was a lot of fun and also a great exercise into separating the true shadow forms from the mid tones! π
The painted piece was sort of exploring a trope that I like which is basically the "gentle giant" or "sympathetic monster" trope. I've always been a fan of it (which is why it probably features in so much of my work π) but I wanted to try something more simplistic in composition to see if that narrative would still come through. I think based on the Twitter and BlueSky responses I got, I can safely say it did π

Others already said it, but the emotion in the hands alone is very nice. Plus one can always appreciate some well-shaped hands in art, they're a tough one, but you did fantastic with these π€ Also these portraits are heckin cute. How quick are they to do? :o

I love it. I also like monsters with a good side, or narratives where someone gets under a monsterβs skin and brings out their more gentle or sympathetic side.

Thank you Tarn! Gentle giant trope is always so wholesome and I wish more places actually explored the trope. Gotta agree with Hal, there is so much emotion in the hands
Halkyov
It is truly impressive how much emotion you can put into hands

That Sobek one is fun π Itβs cool seeing a more toon-y style from you dude, I really like it! And the hands one of course is still a winner π
