#rumic style study

Christmas sketches! (Actually I took a couple of the previous sketches and tried inking them on ye olde computer.)

More drowrings.

Uhmuhguh I didn't think I was going to get any faces drawn today, yet here we are. 😎

[inkydeeeeeeew]

It is officially a day.

[inkydeeeeeeew]

Went back to pencil for today. There's nothing like trying to work digitally that makes you love drawing on paper.

Sketches.

I'm sad Season 1 is over, but I'm glad that Season 2 is officially announced! Also it's wild that Season 1 covered the same amount of story as Season 1 of the original series, but in 6 fewer episodes, and they included MORE cute stuff in this one! I'm a big fan of Ranma and Akane liking each other as humans. In the first series, man...Ranma was an arrogant jerk most of the time and Akane seemed to be interested in him only because there was competition. This new series is a nice change of pace!

I'm so tired, yet I persist with the sketches. 😆

Sketches sketched.

I, uh, decided to have a calm day of drawing after that raccoon fiasco yesterday. 😮‍💨

More Rumiko Takahashi studies from Ranma 1/2 volume 1. I might actually be getting the hang of this...

Rumiko Takahashi has two modes: silly and FIGHTING SPIRIT.

Today's studies. Trying to break apart head shapes and facial features.

MOAR SKETCHES. I was checking proportions like a maniac on these, so they took way longer to draw. I've noticed that Rumiko Takahashi doesn't fuck with any facial pose turned further from the camera than just a profile view, even when the body is facing away from the camera. Like, the body is in back 3/4 view while the face is straight profile. No need to calculate a bunch of positions. Most of her faces are variations of front 3/4 view to profile. Very few shots with faces that face directly at the camera. So to all those inner 13 year olds who couldn't draw the second eye, in most cases, you're not gonna need to draw symmetrical faces on the picture plane in the first place! The perfect second eye is a lie.

I feel like my little faces were better yesterday, but I figured I'd post these since I did draw them... 😆

[inkydeeeeeeew]

Okay since I'm a Ranma 1/2 maniac right now, I'm redrawing some of the silly faces from the first volume. As always, I'm just trying to get a hold of these Rumiko Takahashi proportions.

Today's studies

Okay I actually might be figuring out Rumiko Takahashi proportions...
