To make up for not updating all of last week here are a whole bunch of Viv centered drawings I had been meaning to show. I find that the later in the night that I draw her the weirder she gets. And the more I draw her the more weirder she gets as well. Maybe it is because the later it is the more desperate and tired I get? Or maybe it's because I am only drawing these things when I am working hard (at procrastinating). Anyway, because of this, her character has taken more shape. And it's weird.
This was one of the first drawings I drew at the beginning of the evening. See, this was how I had drawn Vivi before. It feels a bit energetic yes? I want to try to understand how to capture movement and weight in drawing a bit more. And I need to study how to draw weapons better.
I drew so many wonderful things on this day. I think I used 15 pages or more? After this my Copics started to run low of inks. But it was worth it!

I also find that I do my best work later in the night or when I'm caffeinated. There's something about the slight tipsyness you get, I believe.
Poses are difficult but just keep at it~! Fashion magazines help if you need ideas for poses or gestures.

It's that wonderful rush isn't it? I work best at around 2am-3am. All nighters have a really great feeling (when I'm drawing not writing).
Yes, I have to keep at it! When I'm drawing a comic it's easier to draw poses since I want to try harder to convey something. Thanks for your advice. I don't buy fashion magazines at all. Maybe I will try sometime.
