Recreating... #3

Hiya, loyal followers and people that don't follow my blog, but stalk loyally...

I've got a new recreations for you!!

*applause* *confetti* *uhhhh...more...celebration...?*

I love doing these, it's so cool to see what I can do better now (and what has remained the same)! Let's get straight on into this recreation!

This is the character that I have wished to recreate. Now, looking at her, you might think that "Oh, from the expression on her face, she looks a little mischievous, but mostly pretty and nice."

Well, when I drew this a year or two ago, I hadn't meant for that...at all...I was drawing her to be a villain! But you can't see that, which is the reasoning behind me redrawing her.

I mean, look at her epic black magic and red tipped wings and tell me she doesn't have potential to be a pretty awesome villain?;)

I didn't have the chance to take a picture as I was drawing the new version because it was nighttime, and I didn't want the pictures to be all dark and yellow and-- *throws up*

So, without further ado, here is the brand new, recreated version of this villain---

Just looking at this drawing, I see so many things I've changed with! First off, look at how her expression is a lot clearer with her evil intent (although she's still beautiful and doesn't look maniacal...;)), but the main thing I see that's different with my technique and style is the realism I have now!

In my original drawing, my woman is a bobble head! And the way her body is angled is awkward...XD It's just so cool to look back and see what's changed... *sigh* I know I've said that before! LOL!

There were some things that I changed concerning the drawing, such as I got rid of the blue in her hair and outfit (I'm still not totally sure if that was a good thing or not), I tweaked her pose a bit, and I also changed her outfit somewhat. I think I like it a lot more than the original.;)

But what's your opinions? Do you like the original or the recreated version better?:)

P.S. Since the book I'm working on for NaNo has winged characters in it, this woman totally inspired a new story in that same world I made for NaNo....XD But I am much too far along in planning and NaNo is much too close for me to change anything... LOL!XD



My First Sketchbook

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a wonderful day!;)

Yesterday, I saw some of my sketchbooks, and, upon seeing my first sketchbook, I knew I had to make a post about it and to see just how far I've come.:D

 

This is the cover. I remember when I got it I was so excited! I also got these markers, they were special...maybe fine tipped or something!XD

The first drawing in this sketchbook...ew...I totally want to finish that sky! Why in the world did I do that?XD

Hedgehog and cat! I included my full name on some of these drawings, that's why my hands are in some pics.;) 

I definitely have gotten better at keeping things balanced in my drawings.XD 

The Cheshire cat! LOL! I like this one still.;)  

I remember drawing this and being so proud that I got a character in such a complicated pose!XD

I was really obsessed with My Little Pony when I had this sketchbook.;P I like this made-up character still, she's cute!;D  

A half finished drawing of Hallee running in my front yard.XD 

Back when I was into anime...;D 

I think this is pretty cute.;) 

I tried painting in my sketchbook.XD The fishing one is so bad...XD 

And the last drawing of...a....potato girl?XD

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my old drawings. It's always fun to think of how much we can change within just a few years.:D

Recreating...

Hi everyone!
I've had this idea for a while now and today I finally did it!:)

I liked some of my old drawings I did when I was younger, but of course they aren't as good as I could make them now, so I thought I would recreate my old drawings, putting as much skill as I have now into them!:)

Does anyone remember her? She was my first ever villain!:) She was fun to draw and stretched my creative muscles, but you can clearly see some discrepancies, such as her off-center chin and her chest.;)

I got to work on recreating her, and it was so much fun!:)

I used the old drawing as a "guide" to her face and outfit and such, but I had to change some things, such as her nose because the original's nose was just a curved line.;)

Her shading was so much fun!

Slowly but surely, my character became creepier and creepier....

Until finally, she was done!! I really had fun recreating her, because I got to not only fix problems, but I got to see which aspects of my drawing I have improved and what have stayed the same.:)

I hope you liked this post, would you like to see more recreations?:)
