✨ Happy Saturday!! ✨
This piece is such a funny mix of things I absolutely love and things that make me want to scream a little 😂 Like the cute piggy like little nose! I changed it so many times, but in the end, it felt kind of charming in a weird, offbeat way, so I just embraced it.
And those tiny toes? Yeah… I totally didn’t feel like rendering them properly, so she got some cute stockings to tie everything together (sometimes fashion solves anatomy problems, right?).
The arm holding the camera still looks a bit awkward to me, but it’s such a tricky angle to draw that I decided to just let it go. Same with her upper thigh and lower butt area.. awkward, yet somehow still cute in an almost squishy way.
This is actually the second illustration I’ve done with my new lineart brush! There’s still a bit of stiffness I’m trying to work through; I feel like I haven’t fully unlocked its flow yet. Even today, I’m working on another piece where I can’t quite capture the same energy from the sketch when I start lining it.
Sometimes I really question if it’s even worth pushing all the way to that crisp, clean lineart. There’s something so raw and energetic in a refined sketch, but the perfectionist in me always wants those crisp edges. Still… it feels more straightforward than spending endless hours cleaning a sketch that never quite loses that roughness without sacrificing its energy
