i didn't draw much this month, so this post will be quite short and more rambly.
sorin and rias. i drew the first image while on call, so i didn't have much of a plan and it ended up pretty plain. i thought it was funny how close sorin was to rias (it's usually the other way around), so i made a follow up comic.
sorin. i can't recall whether i drew this in february or march. i added it to my camera roll in march, though. if it was in february, i must've felt embarrased to share it at the time, or felt like it was out of character for sorin. more likely, though, it has to do with this strange feeling i have about drawing him with exposed skin, especially with visible scars. regardless, i care less about putting it out there now but it still feels weird.
my oc nao. this is his first appearance here. he used to be my main oc for a couple of years. even though i don’t talk about him much and don’t plan to revisit or expand his story, i still draw him occasionally.
sorin and rias. there’s a big time gap between these and the nao one. i drew these sketches and the next piece within 24 hours of each other, partly because i was getting concerned about my lack of motivation to draw. i’m not particularly satisfied with them because they feel like i was drawing just to draw. in the first image, the top half is a role swap, where sorin has rias’ role and rias has sorin’s. if rias took better care of himself, he’d definitely have piercings. his hair looks messy, but it would actually be styled better. sorin’s side pieces wouldn’t curl up and he’d only ever wear turtlenecks. in the second image, i drew them side by side and thought of the low cortisol meme so i added the bar.
asher painting. this one’s kind of out of left field. since i was struggling to draw, i tried switching art programs. i started this in medibang, finished the sketch, tried painting, then remembered medibang isn’t great for that, so i went back to procreate and experimented with different painterly brushes. it basically turned into me messing around with brushes and adding details until i got tired.
