just a head’s up that I’m sick so I won’t be able to make much of anything new- I’ll try really hard to update TPoH on time but please forgive me if it’s late ;__;
anyway here’s a concept sketch from the Sorceress’s Apprentice when I was brain storming- in this version Magica had a secret library carved out of the volcano underneath her hut which she shows Gladstone when he finishes tidying/shows an interest in studying. Cut the idea because it was derailing the story and felt like I was toying with the canon too much :S
Sorry friend I am a bit rushed on being able to make tutorials (and on the whole I save them for my Patreon)- but here’s some reference I’ve used and some step by steps? Finding good character model sheets online is a lifesaver and helps you understand how to ‘build’ the ducks in a way that feels tangible. For some poses everything sort of happens all at once, but with some more complicated ones I find I have to really break down the body into shapes and lay the details and cloth on top of it. Always try to keep the energy of the sketch though, and think about your line of action! As for beaks hell I don’t even know I’m still having trouble with them =__=
This is Rococoa! She’s a little blood demon who’s friends with Lily and Omen. She’s kind of like a sea anemone and can use as many of the blood drop tentacles from her ‘petticoat’ as she likes.
anon asking about how I start drawing doodle comics/what I count as a doodle comic- basically they’re comics which I try not to ‘go over’, so most of the drawings are a one shot and are almost never clean. First thing after roughly sketching the whole caboodle and typing in the dialogue is drawing the incidental characters and establishing shots; places and people that show up in the background a few times to keep the story grounded. I can largely do these left handed too, so it means I save my right (more dominant) hand for the main cast. I also always try to keep in mind that my last drawings will be better than my first, so as dire as the temptation to start with them is I try to leave the ‘best’ character drawings until last.
I also cheat like the devil to avoid doing any massive time-taking proper perspective because I’m awful.
Congratulations to the Scrooge Mystery kickstarter for hitting their base target of 25,000! There’s plenty of time left to hit those stretch targets though, let’s help them go for gold! :D
