it's soooo funny when you get compliments on a stylistic choice you started doing out of laziness lmao
#if you look way back in my art tag you will see that i used to do almost exclusively pen and ink drawings with lots of crosshatch shading#then i started doing digital art and experimenting with color#and i quickly realized i did not like doing cell shading or blended shading in color so i did flat colors only#but it made my characters look kind of dead (i should go back and fix the one drawing of mal in a purple checked suit... he PALLID)#so i started adding in a lot of blush on the skin#(also i am a naturally flushed ruddy person to the point it looks like an allergic reaction sometimes so i know where it lays)#and also at one point i was drawing candi reclining and thought it would be fun if his tummy was lighter bc of spending so much time outsid#which a lot of my characters do because they work at a theme park and even using sunscreen they get a tan in the summer#and then i got a couple compliments on evie's tanlines and i was like ...oh people like that? nice. i have a signature feature#i also just like drawing people with more texture. since i'm not trying to boil designs down for comics there's more room for it#like i only relatively recently started drawing mal's five o'clock shadow and i think it makes him look cuter#i never posted my slight stevie redesign but they have a lot of moles and that's also very cute#and i've been trying to add in candi's acne scars
