Still chipping away at this! Need to finish it this week really to align with other things. Nearly there if I ignore the lack of background 😄 #oc

I've made a booru image board just for #art #tutorials So they can be tagged and found easily! (Also all attributed to the right artist) If others post to it, it'll become super useful! tutorials.ziedritz.art #arttutorials

Started colouring this! Every bit of it is giving me trouble 😅 So I'm learning! #oc

I've not drawn never mind posted something recently other than some quick sketches as practice. I'm usually happiest at this stage (the lineart) before I flatten it out with colour so today's aim is to avoid that! First appearance of my first #oc

Quite a reworking of the earlier Caesar sketch thanks to some good feedback, but I don't know if I'm going to finish it, just something I don't have the eyes to see with yet that I don't like about it

I was supposed to finish the Nicole piece I was working on by Saturday and, er, didn't. The art class I'm in has a project for us to completely redo it with feedback over the next 2 weeks (um, 10 days now) so... here's Nicole selfie take 2, #wip 1!

Birthday fanart of @rimuurin.bsky.social ! That makes this my 2nd finished illustration and I'm really happy with some parts of it but want to change how I colour the hair to be more similar to how Rimuu does it (at least, one day in the future)

Great references here for Nicole's new outfit

Trying the approach of flat colours straight onto the sketch, no formal lineart. Time to find out if the Gatan course on 5 step colouring has paid off!

Little traditional art copy of Nicole Demara from #zenlesszonezero Don't think I'll ever be happy with how these turn out compared to digital art

Going to try and finish this in time as a birthday surprise! 🤫

Started doing a lighting study but now I want to fix the proportions and feel I might have picked something too ambitious with how many small creases there are in the subject

Today's lunchtime sketch, before I make a mess of it with markers that I'm not very good with 😅 #zzz #zzzero #nicole #demara

I'm also following Gatan's 5 step colouring course on Coloso. First attempt at using it following along from her example in the chapter it's introduced. The highlight isn't at all right but I'm mostly happy with the rest, though I need to practice blending a lot more.

Today's lunchtime sketch, based on a gorgeous illustration of #aerith by @kurehana2 on Twitter

First #wip of my 2nd illustration, is it cheating that I posed a model in DesignDoll to get the base of this one? #nicole #zzz #zzzero #zenlesszonezero

Practice of body construction. I'm not that happy with these but that's what the practice is for!
