Always the best student

Anyone noticing a trend of posts on Tuesdays? I am. Three guesses why. Here's a hint, it starts with "My professor" and ends with "is really boring." There might be some other things in that mix. Anyways, I drew some more character designs (in class, in my sketchbook, and he didn't notice*)!
*I would feel really, really badly about this normally, but seriously, the class is like watching paint dry and the prof can be a tad bit offensive every so often.


Inspirations - Finder, again, European and East-Asian historical clothing (the exhibit on Qing clothing at the ROM and obis specifically)
Today, pencil, 10 minutes each?
More designs for Liz's world, her family! Sort of. They're her mother, father, and original self (flesh and blood vs. robot Liz). I think this will be the kind of look for the clothes (at least in her household) with a more natural look for the people outside. Her parents are essentially nobility/rich; I want them to look good, but also the kind of clothes that are both 1. well-made and 2. worn every day. Does the sci-fi fairytale thing come out? I'd really like to hear people's opinions/thoughts about this.

More Rapunzel boys

Coloured! About 2 hours with photoshop, I'm slow today and groggy. Clearly backgrounds are not my forte. I need to think of them in the sketch phase or they're shit. Ah well. Anyways, back to midterm hell!

Rapunzel Boys

Keeping my word (for once) I drew a pair of Rapunzel-based boys. Enjoy!

First one, more or less the boy version of the girl posted last night. I was going to do him as a kid with dreadlocks and then I vaguely remembered Rapunzel being blond. Then I said fuck it and drew...
this kid. More of a boy-ish silly thing. I like him. I kind of want to draw him more now. I might colour one or both if I have time, which is quickly becoming sparse. YAY four research papers in two weeks and lots of drawing left for comics! Oh joy.

Sketches

Drew a coupl'a sketches tonight. Laides, as always. I really need to get in the habit of drawing more men. I've been drawing traditionally a lot more lately since I tend to draw better sketches/base work by hand whereas colours are easier in digital. I miss the feeling of getting a good drawing out by hand quickly. Takes so much longer and is so much sloppier digitally.

Inspirations - a moth picture in one of today's Cracked articles, NorthernBanshee, I've loved her fashion sketches based on bugs for a long time, but I never thought I'd do one of my own until I fell in love with a golden moth
Tonight, pencil, 10min
BAMF moth-lady in a BAMF chair, need I say more? She'll likely be coloured later.

Tonight, pencil, 10min
Ran out of space for her legs. Ahh! Such a bad habit I thought I got rid of when I was a teenager, alas. Basically a Rapunzel-ish girl, started with her hair and then turned into this. I think it would be interesting to do such a feminine fairytale girl as a boy, but that's for another day. I might work on this idea more later. And by might I mean possibly right now.
