Rem and Ram

in Sketchbook4 years ago

Decided to draw something again, now after being finished something I need to keep in mind next time is to look at the reference properly before starting the drawing then midway realizing there's way too many details and it'll take me all day probably, which it almost did. Anyway, nice practice.

I started first off with a sketch of another reference but over night I had left a plate or the ice cream bowl or something on the drawing and woke up to realize these fat smidges on it:

The next day I figured I'd restart it and looking for the reference again I noticed a longer version of it, then @hiddenblade found an even longer full size reference which was probably the source so i went with that one instead. Practice makes perfect I guess, cause the dimensions and sizes, etc, went a bit better on the second attempt although I almost didn't get the heads to fit properly:

This is what the sketch became on the second attempt, although not sure why I bothered adding so many details on the sketch cause I was going for the ink either way but I guess it's good cause it kind of gave me a 3rd attempt to find even better proportions:

While drawing and talking to the expert @hiddenblade, we were discussing how shaky I was when I started with the ink, not sure if it's cause it was early in the morning but it was very noticable, especially when doing the 0.005 fineliner on the face:

Things started to go a bit better later on, though, (imo):

this is after pretty much most of the ink was done which took the longest:

then, even though I really didn't want to, I decided to add some coloring. I'm the worst at that, still have no idea how to mix these watercolor markers properly and feels like I never have the correct color from the getgo but I decided to just add like 2-3 colors max, mainly the hair+eyes and the black dresses, at the end though I was like eh, fuck it, I've done this much let's just add a bit more cause the leg part would've looked kinda weird left completely white so decided to experiment a bit more, not like I'm planning on selling this either way, nor would anyone buy it cause its neither original nor anything, but fun practice either way.

Anyway, not too happy with the coloring but honestly better than I expected. Think I'm gonna stick to ink only though in the near future, maybe experiment with some ink line shadows manga style or something. Ugh, the black color looks so disgusting, lol, plus I could've skipped so many lines had I known I'd color it to begin with, what a waste.

Anyway, this is what I did all day today, how about you? Having a nice weekend?

This turned out really nice! I didn't realize how shaky i am, or how much coffee gets me, or how old i am getting.... or all of the above... or some combo until i busted out my .005 and .003. Yours still turned out really good and if you hadn't pointed it out... most people wouldn't have noticed. Besides, from far away, nobody will see! I think the color turned out quite well!

Hahahaha, these accidents happen! Even more so with coffee...
Without a doubt practice makes the difference, you learn techniques as you go... Sometimes when drawing details are added by instinct, sometimes we like the results other times not so much.
Your risk with the color I liked very much. Well, I love ajajaja color. But you already have it! It's just details! Great job! @acidyo

you got a real good teacher there

Who's Rem?

Worst girl.

How'd I know you'd be here?

Who's Emilia? lmao

The reference can't match this beauty lol It would make a perfect character for a children story book it may not qualify as realist, but it's totally beautiful.

Hehe if you watch the anime you'd quickly realize it would not fit well for children. :p

Nothing lewd really but blood/gore/death etc.

Well that's why your own version will go well, seems pretty PG to me

The light novel is even more detailed about the blood and gore part.

I'm not into anime myself but still gonna say - good job. 😅

I went to my friend's place to celebrate her b-day which was actually 4 days ago... and spent a bit of time on a webdev project.

Holy, this is such a good anime drawing.

You should make a time-lapse of you drawing next time, I would watch it for sure.

Myeah, just not sure how to record, would need some sort of stand and try balance my phone on it lol.

Just stack up books or something.

I'll try next time :P

Great :)

Thats quite good buddy! Damn.

Wow this is superb cool @acidyo. I never tried the anime art.

wow, your drawing looks great

wow, @acidyo, program, play video games, like anime and also draw 😁

This is actually pretty good. I had no idea you drew, I thought you only talked about blockchain stuff 😄.

Wow nice one! Quite an impressive comeback😎👍

Weeb

Don't break your hand to my post before the hardfork

Hahaha

He really is.

You're getting better at this! I actually do like the colour version. Have a great week!

Very Kawaii my dude

Who is better. Rem or Ram. I always argue with a friend about it.

I feel like I could train for years and I wouldn't be able to make this, for real looks great.I allways admired people drawing my waifu's. REM 4 the win!

So you draw pedo -anime- porn?

No..

... but that is your drawing, yes? Do you need to draw what look like minors dressed in provocative clothes, engaged in provocative poses? Okay, to be fair, they may not be little girls, Asians have small features and always look young, but your art really doesn't need to be this ambiguous does it? Especially regarding something as sensitive and vile as pedophilia. You tell me? Isn't most anime, Sailor Moon, just cartoon porn? It's a bit like selling kids candy cigarettes, they are really too harmful, yet.

I wonder if the only reason you are making these connections is because you are the one that is getting turned on by this?

Have you watched the anime??

This could start an "is anime pedophilic" thread but I keep you uneducated

You seem obsessed with sexualizing children. Gtfo dude

I don't think so. I'm new here, put up some posts and only just started looking around. Looked at a few random posts and outa the four I looked at, two had pretty weird and certainly questionable stuff. I think you're fucked if you can't see it. These stories seem to have a common theme, children, sex, double entendres and nudity. WTF?

Out of thousands who are on Hive you're the only one who sees it. You see it that way because you are sexualizing them. They aren't even children.

Does he need to draw what look like minors dressed in provocative clothes, engaged in provocative poses? Okay, to be fair, they may not be little girls, Asians have small features and always look young, but the drawing really doesn't need to be this ambiguous does it? Especially regarding something as sensitive and vile as pedophilia, and in todays trafficking climate. Why walk that line? Isn't most anime, Sailor Moon, just a form of cartoon porn? Why are we sexualizing small children, and or age fudging in the other direction, of age but made to look childlike? It's a bit like selling kids candy cigarettes, they aren't harmful, not yet anyway. So many other choices out there and we should encourage some teenager's ability to render his wet dream?
