Important Notice



I hope everyone likes the new posts, because I sure am proud of them. :D

Unfortunately because of my work schedule, I will be limiting the number of 30 Day Challenge designs I will be doing every week. Each week I will only do about 4-5 of the challenges. Next Sunday I will post Challenge #5, #6, #7, and #8.

Until then, have a nice week!

30 Day Character Design Challenge : Day 4 part 2

I sensed that I might be late with character designs in the future, so I made another one for Day 4 to make up for any lateness.
Enjoy :)

New vs. Old



30 Day Character Design Challenge: Day 4

Day 4 inked sketch, created on Thursday October 15, 2015.
For this challenge, I had to go through the oldest sketchbook I could find and re-design a character. I didn't open to a random page for bonus points, though( I wanted to choose a design that didn't make me cringe at my past self).

New vs. Old

























When I drew this spiritual/fairy/goddess thing in like, 7th grade, I like to think I made her have blank, pupil-less eyes to make her look mysterious and supernatural. She also doesn't seem to have a nose or a mouth, so maybe 7th grade me was just lazy.

30 Day Character Design Challenge: Day 3

 
Here you go, Day 3 inked sketch, created on Wednesday, Oct 14, 2015.
For this challenge, I had to design five mouths, each of them revealing a unique character. This one took really quick, but it was also pretty difficult: For mouths, I usually just draw a  simple line, but here I really had to focus on the lips and the teeth. So apologies if this one doesn't look as great as my previous works :(

I decided to go with the bonus challenge and have them all making the same expression: Glee/joy.

1. Top left: A basic happy expression- someone who easy to get along with.
2. Top middle: Big lips, upturned at the corner- someone who likes gossip and sarcastic remarks.
3. Far right: Big, wide, open mouth, tooth missing- Someone younger who finds far too many things funny.
4. Bottom left: Really wide, stretched lips, broken teeth - Sadistic antagonist who loves messing with their victims.
5. Bottom middle: Upper lip scars, blood, clenched teeth - Someone who's been through life and had very little to smile about. Street-hardened thug or a battle hardened soldier.

30 Day Character Design Challenge: Day 2



Here's Day 2 inked sketch, created on Tuesday, Oct 13, 2015.
Since the challenge was to design a character in a genre that I don't normally draw, and there are many genres I have yet to draw, I chose a genre I have never drawn before: Steampunk!
This was honestly so much fun to draw; I just started with the pose and added a whole bunch of things to the costume.
Because this is my first time drawing steampunk, plenty of Google image references were used.

30 Day Character Design Challenge: Day 1





Here's  my Day 1 Challenge sketch, fully inked, created on Monday, Oct 12, 2015.

The challenge was to put an Itunes playlist (or any other playlist) on shuffle, and design a character based on the first song that came up. My song was Dragon Rider by Two Steps From Hell, so I ended up designing a character that looks like they ride actual dragons.

My character has goggles to protect the face from high-speed winds, thick leather gloves, straps all over, facial scratches and a bandage on their nose(from stubborn dragons not yet flight-trained), and I added daggers at the back of the boots, to give something sharp enough to dig into a dragon's side.

I guess I also get extra points for using an instrumental-only song.

30 Day Character Design Challenge

Hello, everyone. 

This my first time starting an art blog, so I thought I'd kick off with something special. Starting today(Monday October 12) I will take on the 30 Day Character Design Challenge. Every day for a month, I will design and sketch a character according to the list.
I will post all of the designs on Sunday, with the corresponding number in the list and date it was created.
