If you guys somehow didn’t know, I’ve been uploading these almost every day to my social media and Discord. You might want to check them out if you want the daily updates!
day 16: Funny story. “Hibi” means “cry” in one of the Filipino languages… and Classic Hibi used to have a sad/crying face. Then I later on I find out that English word for Hibiscus, and that’s after I already designed Hibi-Hibi that was partly inspired by the gumamela flower. Anyway, gonna have to reuse this design for later.
day 17: How to tell rice is a country’s staple without saying it’s their staple:
day 18: Opposite case of “rice”, huh…
day 19: “Baka, baka baka” with the middle word as the Japanese “baka” (idiot) would mean “maybe an idiot cow” in English
Gotta be fit to chase the news! As suggested by Yugo Ryan .
Like her, I’m exercising too by trying out some soft airbrushing again! Might as well since it’s another thing to add to my skill set for commissions, ehem.
Just in case anyone asks, I just like the look cel-shading better in most cases, aside from saving tons of time that is. I haven’t done much practice or research when it comes to airbrushing, but from doing this piece I can guess that:
You need more references and experience with lighting/shadows, especially with muscles and the like. I do need more practice with muscles in the first place though.
More references/experience for reflections too, if you’re feeling fancy.
For more control with shading/highlights, you’re gonna have to select/deselect/marquee more compared to cel-shading.
The third bullet point in particular adds quite a bit of time…
Yugo Ryan requested Rallidae since she hasn’t shown up in the current Episode, and hey, I’ve wanted to draw her in a swimsuit like with the other girls so here ya go!
