i know i was just complaining about stylizing loop's body but i figured that out and moved on and it turns out the head is so much harder 😭 i'm very happy with canon loop head and post-bodycraft loop head but the in-between phase is kicking my ASS and i can't just half-ass it bc figuring out the in-between head is the ENTIRE POINT of this WHOLE PROJECT....

i think part of the problem might be that unlike with the body, i do have an extremely clear idea of what is happening with the head physically and how it would look irl, it's just. a very difficult thing to draw. so i keep rejecting ideas that look good bc they're not my actual headcanon, but then also rejecting attempts to faithfully depict the headcanon bc they don't look good. head in my hands

#i set the tablet down for the night on a sketch that looks good but #most of my other sketches have also looked good :/ then i line them and it's not right at all #sigh #it might be easier if i changed how i draw the canon head but. j don't want to i like it....#maybe just worry less abt being an in-between phase and more do something entirely unique?#and then theoretically there's phases between all three points #like using pink to blend yellow and purple instead of blending directly....#that's so much going on though 😭#idk hopefully that last sketch i did will work 😭😭#this has been a fun process tho #i don't usually iterate this much with anything except clothes #so it's cool to hammer away at a hard problem #and push myself to stylize in different ways #without feeling like i've ruined an entire illustration if the experiment fails #and i've figured out some cool techniques that might be fun to use in other places to give illustrations a particular vibe!#i'm just so invested in getting this head right tho that i'm like AHHHHHHH #😤😤😤#silverstarschat #ugh on third thought maybe the canon head rly is my issue #it looks cool but it's not rly faithfully depicting my headcanon is it #so ofc any attempt to draw smth sorta like it won't match my headcanons either #OH I JUSF HAD AN IDEA #FUCK #I WANNA TRY IT SO BAD BUT I ALREADY TOOK MY CONTACTS OUT #AHHH I GOTTA faLL ASLEEP SO I CAN WAKE UP AND DRAW IT!!!!#ooohhhhh this is gonna be so good #crossing my goddamn fingers it works out #!!!!!!!
