So! This post will be slightly different, since I'll be remarking more on my inner thinking rather than art. But don't worry, more art coming this afternoon!
First things first: I love the Lion in Steven Universe. Love him. In the season 3 episode "Crack the Whip," there is a standoff moment towards the end which features my favorite shot in the whole series.
It's pretty clear to me that this page will be the following:
P1: Vara hearing People speaking.
P2: He watches as figures run towards Andrew
P3: A close up of the figures racing to Andrew
P4: Vara glaring menacingly at the strangers
Because I've had so much fun drawing Vara, I decided to lay out P4 first. Moreover, I could NOT get Lions expression and that shot out of my head when thinking of how to render his expression.
SO all in all, this is something I love to do all the time; draw inspiration from my favorite shows, movies, games, etc etc and channel that energy into my own work, even if it's something as subtle as an expression from a pivotal or favorite scene on TV. Hence the photo of Lion as I began sketching!
Standby for another update very soon! ~ Corvy
