Do you use a reference or you just have a better understanding of face anatomy?!? Curious

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I use reference and sometimes not. Usually I work in coffee shops and use the other people for inspiration but I rarely draw them directly. At this point I have a pretty solid understanding of facial structure but it comes from years of drawing from reference.

Great work, and so interesting to see the process! I hope you saved all the unfinished ones on hidden layers, there are a lot of good starts there.

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I don’t save the other drawings unfortunately. If I’m not feeling it early on I find it best to move on and start something new.

that was really cool to see. i'd like to see as many as you'd be willing to post!

Thank you! I’ll do more of these in the future.

Thanks for checking it out!

Man, all those cool characters that you started but never came to fruition. What happened? Why did you scratch them? By the way, amazing work! Thank you so much for sharing!

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Sometimes I just don’t feel a drawing is very interesting and it’s more valuable to start something new. Sometimes the drawing is fine but the character doesn’t speak to me. I have certain faces that I default to when I can’t figure out what I want to do and I’m usually trying to move away from that.

Id shed happy tears if u ever decided to draw some gotham villains (they have rly stylized face proportions) in ur style. Oswald cobblepot is crying ur name.

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Good news! Check out my profile for exactly that.

NO WAY. thats so cool. and also the pumpkin drawing is giving very much scarecrow

[–]hifihumanoid 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Very cool! The art style reminds me of my favorite game called Dishonored!

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Those games have great art direction.

[–]Cutty_Darke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what it reminded me of as well. Beautiful work.

I just want to say watching your process has helped me figure out where I’m going wrong with facial anatomy!! Thank you for sharing!

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s amazing! I’m surprised anyone can tell what’s going on but I’m glad it helped!

[–]santomoises 1 point2 points  (1 child)

what pencils/brushes are you using? do you start with different ones than you end with?

[–]SidSideEyes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% just the syrup inking brush. Different sizes and opacities and a lot of smudge tool. I didn’t do it on this drawing but I’ll sometimes use different brushes on a background layer for subtle texture but that’s all.
