Why Do Transmascs Make The Most Beautiful Angelic Art Ever

this was my first design of puma guy (technically second, one day I will share the handmade cat plushy OG version) erm... it's not very good lol, also from an artistic perspective... ngl find it crazy that this was less than a year and a half ago I improved like crazy!! also I couldn't draw buff people we don't talk about it I distinctly remembering him looking less weedy when I actually drew him idk

the space pattern sucks ew i've really stepped my game up on that too, face is also janky I was still slightly in my anime phase

messy lineart works but like... this is just messy and not in a cool way

its so washed out my art is so saturated now compared to this, this looks like a watercolour version where's all the pink my boy is PINK

shading is ehh i remember loving the skin and pants but it looks pretty flat and the blue... i didn't know what I was doing with that

i HATE the mouth idk it makes me uncomfortable

man it's so crazy to look at my old designs BEFORE I came up with distinct hairstyles for them

he looks like such a generic anime boy it's kinda funny

the basic things that changed is that he looks older, has curlier hair and looks a bit sleepier but I actually do tend to stick very closely with my original designs (even though I've created some of them when I was really young)

my OCs i made when I was around 9 part 2

some of these look... kinda crazy but also some of them look good but I feel like that's pure accident

even more OCs from when I was 9, except the green alien and all the OCs that include the weird eye hands, white octopus, and fairy are from the transition between 3rd and 4th grade (idk wtf happened there something was def going on in my head)

and then the image with the purple cat girl are all OCs from when I was 10, we're moving on lol

dont even... dont even ask about the shark elbows rainbow hair girl that was a request from one of my friends elementary school go crazy

i unfortunately have to claim responsibility for eyeball hands girl... uhh i have no excuses I genuinely don't know what made me make that

sort of Part 2... I havent gotten any art as racist as the last one, but there's certainly a lot of "yeah that's not quite right" examples

I literally dare ANYONE to draw his eye shape correctly and NOT give him monolids (although that's slightly more understandable since his double eyelid isn't very visible, just like mine) or just change his eye shape entirely

PS if you wanna attack me during artfight in July... (I always revenge back) you do NOT have to draw my east asian characters if you don't have the skill to do so, I have plenty of other characters!

again dont attack any of these artists I really loved their pieces even if it didn't look like jayden... although it def makes me a bit sad to see it so prevalent, especially since artfight is basically known for being good with diversity and having lots of diverse characters

one day... I will be able to make a giddy post about how accurately someone drew jayden, one day...

every opportunity i get to draw a buff man is great

took super short cuz... no face lol

LETS GOOOO first drawing of jayden/zun qiang i have on here

starting off strong man i dont think (im 80% sure ngl) that i will hate this immensely in the future, unlike how i feel in regards to my other drawings of him...

if you know jayden from my reddit or artfight account... no you dont ignore EVERY old art piece of him ever idk what i was thinking

sid the sloth... if you know you know

how we feeling about my old art 😭

this was 5 years ago crazy to think how much I've improved!!

sometimes (most of the time) i look at my old art and just think... why?? why that neck? why the legs?? why that chin? why that hair?

the classic "i dont wanna draw hands" pose

the eyes are staring at me

the lineart is a bit... rough in places

man i drew WAY too hard wtf i can see all the erased lines why did I press my pencil so hard

dont be discouraged if your art looks like this currently, you will get to where you wanna be, I know I sure did, and a few years is actually quite short to make such a large improvement

blend brush is MAKING ME GO CRAZY

what do you mean rendering is ten times easier and I can finally render without it looking weirdly smooth and untextured??

Astrid, character by poppygumi on Reddit

erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot
