Ok this is my best work yet even though it’s so far from accurate that I actually still hate it. I feel like I’ve spammed a lot of pictures but haven’t rambled much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This one is different from all my other digital attempts because I finally decided to use a pencil drawing as my base. All my other digital fanarts have been from scratch. I think this made it a lot better since my control with a tablet is still terrible, so here are some WIPs for the entire process. Started on Sunday, finished today, which is quite impressive! I actually did a fix on his left eye because it was too small. I have to learn to be okay with redoing certain bits; the problem is that often I have to fix all the work around it too which is why I try and avoid it, but it looks much better this way. I still struggle with his face shape though since his chin isn’t actually so rounded. But who wants to listen to me whinge and critique my own work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marmalade jar was my favourite bit! Ahahahahaha. Favourite behind drawing hair. Oh my goodness the hair. I almost died drawing the stubble, the short strokes really increase the risk of RSI, or at least that’s how it feels. And I messed up the hair because it ended up being two toned (and the face vs body suffers from two tone as well). Didn’t I just say I wouldn’t critique myself?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so happy I made my version of the flowery robe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to leave Ed with just pink blob on him, felt fitting at the time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That stubble. I really do love drawing hair. Lip tone is the hardest challenge and I’m still struggling to get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How dopey does the line art look XD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That concludes my Our Flag Means Death<\/em> fanart I reckon. I did 12 all up (13 if you count the Blackbeard scribble) which is probably the most I’ve done for a single show since… Yu-Gi-Oh? Wow, that’s going way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really hope these drawings have helped increase my original character drawing skills. I mean that was the whole point, right? Not just to love drawing hair and pretty robes and more pretty hair?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
