He’ll only be a little mischievous. (More rambling and about the art after the Read More!)

This was a combination of two inspirations. An old OC and an old drawing that both were lost in the realm of unfinished work. I had a lot of fun with this one because it allowed me to explore my past art habits, how I loved to draw pretty characters without a care. Since I was a kid, no one really questioned my cutesy characters, but as I got older, I began to get more self conscious about it since the people around me were perplexed by it. “That doesn’t look like a guy.” Comments like that. Then when a guy did wear cutesy things, it was only as a joke. Or when I designed such characters, it gathered the wrong audience that seemed disappointed I wasn’t a certain way. So while I don’t think those people meant harm, it slowly discouraged me from drawing as much. I liked drawing and creating pretty guys. “But I can’t do that when my drawing anatomy is too fem-looking. This design gives people the wrong idea.” is what I concluded, along with that layer of stress in judgement. I didn’t want to deal with the questions and hearing how feminine guys are only a joke or meant for sexual expression. Somehow, I’ve never come across a community that really encouraged me directly?

I really liked seeing this sort of look though, just someone dressing pretty no matter who or what they are. I like pretty. The end of last year I just decided to throw myself back into it. I’ve improved on drawing with what I could, maybe not great at producing a variety of body types, especially to differentiate fem and masc, but I got tired of waiting since it seemed I wasn’t really practicing as my heart wasn’t in it.

I picked up the two things I loved, a cheeky character, with a vibrant old art piece I abandoned. Revisiting them both allowed me to think about stuff while I drew this, helped revive what it is about art that really comforted me. My characters can be anything they want, and I can decide that for them. It should be the same for me.

Now that I’ve gotten a bit more comfortable with drawing in general, I gotta get comfortable with drawing concepts I’ve wanted. There’s not really much to say about the drawing progress, I just really zoned out through most of it and enjoyed my time streaming it.

Progress: Sketch - Line Flat

Alternatives

These I had fun with but ultimately decided not to go with them. It’s defeinitely a good step toward more interesting art pieces!

You know I'm invested in a drawing when I spend half an hour tracing the background japanese text for it. Anyways this just feels like something Heart would say to Mind
