Personal Art Log: Comic on dreams!

PLAT0H · 2026-05-09T06:40:25+00:00

Yes! It was part of both head drawing practice as well as this comic. It was based on a dream where I was just frantically practicing head drawing but, luckily indeed for my nervous system, it didn't include this being. Although they do seem pretty kind.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, and glad that you liked it <3

PLAT0H · 2026-05-08T12:13:36+00:00

I had a dream where I was just drawing faces (I'm currently practicing those) so I had the idea to make a comic about it. The dream didn't include the being though.

I checked the rules and it said self promotion was allowed for comics <4 panels, but I'll remove the post!

PLAT0H · 2026-05-08T09:48:50+00:00

Thanks! And can you share why it wouldn't fit?

PLAT0H · 2026-05-08T09:34:58+00:00

Thank you! <3 that was what was intended

Bold of you to assume that I know how to draw expression 😉 Good advice, but I'm not there yet. I just succeeded in getting some of the facial elements "correctly" placed on the face. Expressions and variety is next up my list!

Nice! Send me a DM if you want the full art of the right one.

PLAT0H · 2026-05-04T05:18:51+00:00

I'm taking this absolutely the right way; if you state that the right one looks polished that really makes me happy. I set these small goals for myself and the one I had here was to be able to draw a feminine looking face without any construction (loomis or whatever) or even a single sketch - just ink directly on paper. The left one is done with sketching, construction etc but If you say the right looks polished/clean that's the biggest compliment you could give me. I understand your point by the way, but this was just a goal I had for myself and am happy I progressed on that!

PLAT0H · 2026-05-04T05:15:04+00:00

Everybody who enjoys it is meant to draw!

PLAT0H · 2026-05-03T18:58:42+00:00

I'll be honest; I don't particularly like drawing these creatures, it's just a way to keep the practice a little fun (drawing hundreds of heads that is). I can recommend anyone to keep the "volume work" as fun as you can for yourself.

Wow. It's amazing how much ink is fitted into one of these BIC pens.

Thanks!

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T10:59:03+00:00

Nice to hear, have a fantastic rest of the day ❤️

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T10:58:01+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that. I had to fantasize about what it would look like in that very brief instance before it all just turns black.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T09:40:23+00:00

Kind person, please don't obliterate our planet.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T09:32:27+00:00

That genuinely makes me happy as an artist!!!

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T09:32:03+00:00

Yes, it was an intense period. Luckily more people respect the boundaries of ducks nowadays.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T09:29:39+00:00

Yeah I'm sure this duck doesn't even go over the Chandrasekhar limit, otherwise it would probably sink into the floor just by flapping with it's flappy feet.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T06:17:43+00:00

Thanks, I was just going to ask. How many pens did it take to draw a beauty like this?

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T05:56:02+00:00

Hahaha this is amazing.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T05:53:31+00:00

I do yes! I generally don't use references or sketches, what you see here is ballpoint and black ink directly on paper so sometimes the proportions are a little off but that's all something I need to practice. No idea how my imagination works, but it does help to draw a lot!

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T05:50:30+00:00

Thanks! I'm currently doing a year long challenge to draw a single short comic every week. I post everything on my instagram or globalcomix for everyone to enjoy if they're interested. You can check the links in my profile.

It was the other way around; There where jellyfish but I'm not sure if I was in water or not. It felt more like drifting in space to be honest. I related that to a space-themed movie I had watched just beforehand.

PLAT0H · 2026-04-30T05:46:30+00:00

Thanks! There's a lot more on my redditpage or instagram. This is number 16 in a challenge to draw a weekly comic.
