Shinki-sama process (Public)
Added 2023-03-04 21:08:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone! It's been almost 2 weeks since the last post and I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the 3000 followers on Twitter and the 1000 on Pixiv! Since Shinki-sama is the only reason why I draw, I decided to draw her for the occasion! Who would have thought!
Also, I noticed I do have Japanese subscribers now, so I'll add a Japanese translation as well, it's all from DeepL though since my Japanese is still too subpar...

I wasn't too sure on what direction I wanted to take for this drawing, I only knew I wanted it to look "divine"! I thought about something like "Paradise Lost", since that looks so cool, but I don't actually support the theory that Shinki is a fallen angel. I might do that later at some point though, since the idea is cool regardless lol.

I liked both of them, but instead I want with my third approach. Here's the process. Basically, each step is what I had at the end of the day, I'll give a little comment for each of them too.

Day 1:
On the first day I was still only looking for possible compositions and settings, so I haven't done much, just getting a vague idea of the pose and placement is all I wanted.

Day 2:
There's barely any difference right? Well, I haven't done much work that day lol. It was just slight cleanup so I can get a better idea of how I'd like to approach my idea.

Day 3:
I hope FANBOX and Patreon won't ban me for this... Just continuing from what I've done since day 2. However, I've done so many changes on this day and I just couldn't get satisfied with the results, ultimately this is what came out. I got really mad at some point since most looked like weird fetish art, which led to me drawing her at a more neutral angle later on.

Day 4:
It's finally looking like something! This is the part where it comes all together. Not much to say except that I just throw paint blobs everywhere so I know what to do later on.

Day 5:
Since drawing a setting like this was still very new to me I experimented around a bit. I added little details here and there and made shapes a little prettier, but not much had been achieved.

Day 6:
I redrew her foot countless times, there was something bothering me about the legs that I didn't find until much, much later. That stayed a consistent problem of this drawing process really.

Added more effects once again to give me more peace of mind that I'm doing something right. (Not good, but the effects are cool) Also more little fixes.

Day 9:
Just fixing and fixing and fixing all the little things. I also finally started going over to details, like the hair. However I wasn't satisfied with how it looked so I redid it the next day.

Day 10:
I went crazy on this day. In a good way. I think I worked for 7 hours fully concentrated, and the results really show! I don't know if other people think backgrounds like these look impressive, but whatever it may be, these are really simple and fast to make. If there's interest for it, I'll make a tutorial one of these days.
Also, while fun, the patterned white cloth of her dress is some true autopilot work. Sometimes I wish I could just draw frills on her since those are easier to me, but I want to stay true to the original. The patterns are really important you know! It's a different way to read Shinki's name after all.

Day 11 (Today!)
...And finished! My father told me her thighs were too fat and that's when I finally realized what was wrong with her legs. I reallly wanted to add more foreshortening but in the end it got awkward and I went back to drawing her at an almost neutral angle. I have realized that if I want to draw Shinki from a low angle, I need to pick a different setting because it becomes too fetishized otherwise, which is something I'd rather like to prevent. Either way, I believe this may be my greatest artwork to date! But it was also quite exhausting trying to find the proper shade and I'm still not sure if this one may be too dark... But whatever! I drew it for myself, I like it, and that's all that matters!
...For myself? Uh, I meant for you, thanks for all the followers again!

Afterword:
I wanted to start taking commissions again, but I'm still unsure about pricing and the procedure. I'd like to not change the prices from last time, but inflation is crazy over here. For example, if I sold my artworks for the same price as before, I could afford 3 meals for me and my brother OR buy 1 low class technology product. When I think about it like that, I feel barely motivated to start taking them, but I'd still like to draw for others. I get asked pretty often if I take commissions, but I don't want to charge people too much either. Money sucks! I say that but I use this platform to make money! What a hypocrite I am!
Also, I've been drawing a ton lately, haven't I? I never imagined I'd upload things for 5 weeks in a row. This is a sign I've gotten much better and faster! Woohoo!

2023-03-04 22:22:49 +0000 UTCThanks for the nice comment! I am happy if I can motivate others! The first step is to try. If you just keep doing, it will eventually work out. And when you get past your weaknesses, you will start loving it!

Thank you for sharing this, it's really interesting to see the drawing process I have been extremely interested in art and learning to draw but I've always struggled with it and lose motivation so quicklyใฝ(ยดใผ๏ฝ)โ I love seeing the process, it motivates me very much (*ยดโฝ๏ฝ*)
