Julia's First Painting

Siffrin

I've been playing a lot of In Stars and Time recently. I haven't finished the game, yet, but I have finished Act 3. As I've been drawing Siffrin, I've realized that their cloak is rather confusing. For the most part, it's depicted as not having sleeves, but, in some scenes, it definitely has sleeves! I've decided that the cloak has been crafted to have sleeves whenever the wearer needs to have sleeves. Anyhow, I tried to make a full-body drawing of them. I'll admit that the pose is kinda boring. I have to practice drawing more poses. Though, I think I did a pretty good job with the anatomy. Also, I couldn't really figure out the expression on his face, but whatever. Despite that, I had fun making this drawing, and I might post more drawings of this game as I get farther in it.

Edit: I have been informed that Siffrin's cloak canonically has no sleeves! So this drawing can be considered inaccurate. (Also, thank you for ignoring that I definitely drew Siffrin's dagger wrong.)

Watching From Afar, Always Some Side-Character No One Cares to Search for...

There wasn't really a plan for this drawing that I had in mind. I was just messing around with this one. I felt like having a painter-y vibe for this. It gave me a lot more freedom than what I usually have. It was just a lot fun to do! I tried to figure out how the shadows would work, but I'm not too sure if they look right. For the light source for Siffrin, let's just say that the moon was really bright on this night and not that I put it there for no specific reason. I know that the game's art is black and white monochrome, but I wanted to use a purple monochrome instead. I had a lot of fun figuring out what hues to use.

Anyhow, here's the version without the air brush and here's the sketch concept:

Look! You can even see some birds and sailboats!

I liked drawing the birds. They were fun.

Okay, bye!

Edit: Today, I wrote my first ISAT fanfic on AO3! The writing in it flows a lot better than the writing in my posts, I promise. Check it out here: A Flowery Confession.

Back To basics. Just finished a big project and I'm back to drawing for fun, playing around on Procreate and remembering just how fun and powerful that app is!

STAGNANT CAMPAIGN: Save Hani's Niece and Nephew

Hi all, I would like to spotlight Hani's campaign, which has been severely stagnating for weeks now. This is saddening to watch, especially when they are so close to their goal.

This is Saleh, the daughter of Hani's sister, who is just 3 years old, and her younger brother Huda, who just turned 2 years old during the occupation. Constant fear living under bombardment and months-long food scarcity has robbed them of their childlike joy and infectious energy.

Please help this family evacuate with these two children. They have been forced to give the children cooked dough to eat for months. Fruit and vegetables are extremely hard to come by. This could have serious long term health complications for these growing children.

Hani has multiple siblings who are university students and high school students. They have jobs and dreams that are cut short by the invasion. Please help Hani save them so they can be reunited. Hani has been exiled alone in Belgium away from his family for months.

Only 1 donation in the past 3 hours. This is extremely worrying. Please help us save this family from this stagnant campaign. Please donate whatever you can spare.

Please check out the custom tote bag raffle and the Magikarp plush raffle for donors, the two artists responsible for the raffles have agreed to extend the prizes for Hani's family as well. New custom tote bag design to be released Friday Aug 16.

€43,100 raised of €50,000 goal currently as of August 15, we need to raise €6,900 BY THE END OF DAY SUNDAY so the family can start relocating to southern Gaza in preparation for evacuation.

Siffrin Without His Cloak

Honestly, I made this drawing as a clothing reference for myself. I wasn't originally planning on posting it (hence my offline signature), but I really liked how this drawing turned out and wanted to share it. The anatomy is quite nice as well. I've been trying to force myself to practice drawing anatomy instead of just drawing characters from the shoulders up. Though, I haven't drawn a full body reference of Siffrin. (Nooo, I'm not avoiding doing that. I have no idea what you're talking about!) Also, the star necklace thing is just part of an under outfit. This is obviously a non-canon design; it's just how I like to imagine their outfit.

This drawing is actually part of a group of three drawings. The first drawing I did was the under outfit. Then, after I copied the drawing, I drew the clothes from this drawing over it. The final drawing is just Siffrin's cloak covering up all the hard work I did. I'm not a huge fan of how the other drawings turned out, so I'm not posting those. I mean, the first drawing is meh. The anatomy looks a bit off in it. In the last drawing, I could not draw Siffrin's hat for the life of me. It's really not great. Ugh.

Nonetheless, I love how this drawing turned out. I think that the outfit turned out rather cute. It just looks nice. Also, whenever I'm working on drawings, I like looking at how each layer looks individually. I think this image has a lot of good shapes, and I think that this image of just the color layer really shows that:

I think a design is good when the color itself tells how the design should look, you know. Anyhow, I have three more drawings of Siffrin left to post today, so bye!

The Shooting Star

Here's my first post (and first finished drawing) of the year. I spent a long time on the background, and I think I did a good job. This was a very experimental piece. First off, I'm using a new art app. I use to use a very outdated Flipaclip to make my drawings, but, when I got my new phone, I could only get the newest version of Flipaclip. Yeah, I absolutely hate it now. I've started using Infinite Painter instead, so my drawings are going to look a bit different now. I was trying to experiment with a pose and with the lighting of the piece. I've been trying to learn anatomy, so I've trying to draw more poses. I also want to get better at lighting in my drawings, so I've been adding light sources to my art. Overall, I really liked how this piece turned out.
