Here Is An OC Swap I Did For @bloominghydrangeas25

(Plz bare with me bc Japanese is obviously not a language I understand or have studied so if I get something wrong, plz let me know.)

(I also forgot to do the ‘see results’ answer yet again.)

Request: Hare (Tales from Earthsea) in tears of sorrow

So, uh, I can explain…

I SUCK at drawing characters crying, so I’m hoping you’ll accept this really crappy character sketch of Hare instead!

(Btw I have not watched Earthsea yet but it’s on the list. I just know who Hare is because I watched Nausicaa and he looks a lot like Kurotowa.)

:+: Finally finished :+:

Took me a few days because I wanted to figure out how to scan it instead of taking a photo. Looks a little washed out, but it will do.

Thanks for all the character suggestions!

3. All your favorite Links

So, my favourite Links are….

Minish Cap Link, Skyward Sword Link, and my absolute favourite:

Twilight Princess Link!

For some reason I can’t draw him very well. (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)

I went a little overkill with Minish Cap Link because I acquired a new found love of drawing his facial features lol

This is what happens when you try to majorly rush the sketching process. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

And this is what happens when you try to draw in a different art style….

I used my 4th volume of the BEAST manga to try and draw Dazai. It, uh, looks interesting….

Horses are everything! I love your drawings 🥰

:+: Thank you :+:

I love horses a great deal! They are my passion to draw. I’m happy so many people like my sketches!

I saw you were asking for art requests in the LoZ community.

I wanna see how you draw Ezlo (I was the one who put the pictures of what I drew and had no idea the name of the silly hat thing until people started commenting Ezlo). Maybe add Link, too?? Idk,. Up to you if you wanna add Link, I can't draw people well so I just stuck to the hat.

:+: SPOILERS FOR MINISH CAP:+:

I don’t draw Ezlo quite as much as I would like, so this was a nice opportunity. Technically, Ezlo isn’t a hat. He’s actually a Picori. I like to draw him occasionally as both a hat and a Picori.

Here are two small sketches of him in both forms. (His weird staff thingy is really ridiculous lol) ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Here is the video. It doesn’t have much detail, but you can draw along with me if you would like.

Something that will help a lot is practicing drawing one part of a horse. Starting with simple head studies is a good example and may help to build confidence. By breaking a horses body down into shapes, it becomes easier to understand and ‘copy’ the shapes and lines.

One thing I get used to get stuck on all the time was added too much detail. Now, I only draw what is most prominent for a horse, ignoring all those tiny, unnecessary details.

Drawing in the manga-like style is about simplicity to a point. It is not called realism for a reason! (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) The goal is to be able to draw the same character over and over again efficiently and with less stress to the artist. The same can be said for drawing horses, in a way.

I hope that this helps. If anyone has any questions, I will try my best to answer them!

I give you… Akutagawa as Ashitaka!! (A continuation.)

I tried that scanning thing again and it actually isn’t too bad. (besides the fact that it took me nearly 30 minutes to scan bc of the high dpi lol)

(And yes, I basically just looked up a bunch of photos of Ashitaka and drew Akutagawa in his place, but the poses are iconic!!!! I typically try to draw my own poses as much as possible, but this was a must! I assure you that I did not trace in the slightest.)

I would also suggest allowing people to comment on your posts as I was unable to tell you how talented your sketches are. If you keep at it, and your art will know no limits. And I, for one, envy that. There is only so much I can do with 3D.

Thank you very much!

I checked my reply settings and found that they were set to ‘only people you follow can reply.’ I have now fixed this ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) I believe it may have been the default setting, as I haven’t had much thought into messing around with this stuff. I am still very new to Tumblr.

Thank you everyone for the lovely asks! I am taking my time with these, but it is really helping me to get faster (and hopefully better) at sketching in general.
