This is actually a preexisting character from my ongoing web series that I am still somewhat developing. I’m always a little bit unsure of what I want her to look like in the story. I’ve just been having some trouble really finalizing her design is all xD. The only thing I’m really sure of at the end of the day is that I’d like to incorporate both punk/tribal styles. I gave her a ton of tattoos on various parts of her body (arm, head, legs etc.) as well.

I admit that I made her look a little bit more masculine than I intended to. Don’t get me wrong. I wanted her to be bit androgynous in appearance and a bit “tomboyish” by nature, but I think I made her jaw line a bit too strong in the black and white sketches. I’ll probably keep her looking this way until further notice since I like it for the most part.

These were originally going to be just a black and white sketches in the beginning, since I was just brainstorming when I made these. But you know me xD. I LOVE color. I like at least some color in my drawings. Come to think of it, I think I wanna start drawing more of these sporadic character sheets in the future. I’ve got a bunch of characters in my mind, existent and non-existent, that I wanna get down on paper eventually. :]

The post Day #192 My Recently Made Character Sheet appeared first on I 365 Art.

Thanks for the nice comments I received yesterday and the day before for the drawings I made for the I 365 Art blog :D. Today, I decided to go with something a little crazy! (I’ve been feeling crazy all week due to lack of sleep xD!)

Today, I also want to point out something pretty awesome and funny. Since I’ve been making these digital drawings every day like this, I’ve been able to tinker with Photoshop more. From what I can see, I feel like I have been improving lately. I don’t normally point this sort of thing out or mention it even, but for anyone wanting to improve their art some, you should try to doodle as often as possible :). There is always room for improvement for every artist ^^!

Some background on this drawing. Of course, the drawing illustrates a tribal woman from one of my stories. It’s actually a character I have worked on several times before actually. I like characters with Mohawks (especially female characters with Mohawks) and anything punk-like in appearance. There’s just something extremely sexy and bad ass about a chick with a Mohawk xD. I can’t quite put my finger on it though.

I remember back in high school, I wanted to get a Mohawk, but my mom quickly stopped me and told me that she didn’t want me to cut my hair. Mind you, I had super long hair back then and she didn’t want to see me chop it all off in the name  of a Mohawk. I no longer desire to have one, but I still do enjoy looking at them ^^.

This drawing took about 3 hours. Sometimes when I make digital drawings, it sometimes feels like a task. But I had a lot of fun tweaking her hair and skin :3.

On a final note, be sure to check out the Resources section of the blog. New how to’s have been added. Feel free to check those out. Have a good day ^^!
