Drawing From Anime Reference: 1 Year

This is my art I did one year ago of Emilyko from Shadows House. It was the first art I did to start my art journey. It's terrible, I didn't know what I was doing, I was depressed and hated my art. I hated how bad I was compared to other people. Of course I knew it took years but I felt that I would never get good since I have never been creative before. I had so many negative emotions I didn't want to continue. But soon I started trying to do inktober in my own way but drawing sketches of characters. I saw some progress in that and I was happy. But I got a job and I didn't have much time to draw anymore. I got depressed again and barely drew. Then this year I started drawing for the Hogwarts Legacy fandom which was what started this whole thing.

Now, a year later I've barely drawn at all but I decided to redraw Emilyko from the same reference. The difference is absolutely astounding. I still don't know what the hell I'm doing and only imitated the reference, but its already so much better than before. I've learned to color pick and attempt shading. I've gotten better at imitation, though sometimes its a hit or miss.

Here's Ricky from Shadows House! I've finally done one ship from that anime 🥺 I gave up on the design on his vest since I couldn't find anything suitable for it. I want to do the rest but I am not sure when I will draw them as I am currently trying to draw my Hogwarts Legacy MC Sophronia. I want to do more HL art but at the same time I need to practice drawing and anime is the easiest way to do it. I have made a timelapse of this drawing but will post it later!

Here is my drawing of Lou from Shadows House! I'm actually pretty happy with her even though she still has major issues. I copied the shadow from the art so I still don't know how shadow and light work 😅 I long for the day when I can draw characters outside their reference poses.

I really need to draw more. It takes me a bit to draw though and I get so preoccupied with work and the timing of everything. Anyway, here’s a drawing I did of Marcille from Dungeon Meshi! It looks weird because it was originally tilted so I tried to fix it. It ended up looking weird though but I can’t be bothered to fix the rest lol

Mine

Sebastian embraces Sophronia from behind, his body pressing up against her back as his hand trails across her front. She clutches his left arm in her surprise as a form of stability, feeling his toned arms through the sleeves of his blazer. A rustle is heard before a pull follows, and she feels extra weight on her clothing. "S-Sebastian!" She exclaims, her face turning red as she realizes what he's doing. His thumb is inside her skirt while his other fingers remain outside clutching at the fabric. His grip is firm and dominant, as if he was claiming her for all to see.

All that runs through Sebastian's mind is one word: Mine. Sophronia may be seen as a shy nobody to others, but to him she is so much more. To him she is his light—the one light in his dark and dreary life. He will not let her go—she is his.

Sebronia has sailed! I couldn't decide on a ship name so it's Sebronia for now. This is my very first ship art and I used a base for it (image below). I can't wait to do more ship art!!!

HL MC: Sophronia in Exploration

“Like the troubadours of old, Sophronia dons her guise and travels the world. Not to play a merry tune but rather for the sake of knowledge and adventure”

I drew Sophronia in her exploration outfit! I accidentally made the design on the cloak big when it should have been a lot of very tiny designs. But I could not be bothered to do that 😂 I never really use the hats in the game and I loved this one so I had to plan an outfit around it.

I did another Hogwarts Legacy drawing! This time it’s of my oc Eleanor Knightley! 😊 the shading sucks and so does the background (because I decided to add it at the last minute so it’s really bad). It was supposed to be hills in the background but I’m too lazy to fix it lol

I found this cycling outfit (1895?) on Pinterest and immediately thought of Eleanor. I’m so happy I got to draw her in it! It’s girly but it’s also practical, fitting for her adventures.

Tried doing another real life drawing and of course I had to choose Doctor Who :) the drawing sucks and I don’t know how to draw (in general) real people. I tried 😭 next drawing definitely has to be another Hogwarts Legacy one. I need to draw more HL art.

[slytherinsomniari]

As promised, here is my first timelapse and it's Ricky from Shadows House! I can't draw small, I always end up drawing big 😂 and you can pinpoint when exactly I gave up on the pattern on his vest. These past 2 drawings were so good, I hope it wasn't just a fluke. I hope I keep getting better!

[slytherinsomniari]

I’m 2 drawings behind, I’m sorry! Here’s my Rosette Christopher and Chrono drawing from Chrono Crusade! I just had to choose this reference 😂 I’m proud of my posing on this one. I got it basically right and I didn’t even trace. It’s my second time drawing a guy and I thankfully made him look different from Rosette. I will be drawing more guys in the future so I could get used to them.

Here it is! The final reveal of the finished product. I decided to go ahead with the character sheet and I’m happy I did. It looks bad (don’t look at the feet on the back shot and the hair on the profiles) but I’m happy I chose to challenge myself. I want to do the character sheet for my Hogwarts Legacy mc Eleanor Knightly but I also want to try drawing a boy for the first time. I chose Ciel so if I failed it would hopefully not hit me as hard 😂

Happy Birthday to my HL OC Vincent Rosier!

Happy Birthday Vincent!!! His birthday was June 1st but I forgot to post this here 😅 He wanted to get a birthday kiss from Sophronia but Sebastian wasn't having it. Maybe next time, Vincent. God I need to get back onto tumblr. Not sure why but it's super hard to juggle multiple social media sites now....it's sad. I used to be able to do it so easily and quickly but now I just forget to check.

[slytherinsomniari]

Finally did another drawing! It’s Aijo Karen from Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight. I keep getting distracted and lately I’ve been feeling jealous over people’s skills. They are so much better than me and I just want to improve and get to their level immediately so I can draw the fanart I want. On another note, I always end up drawing them short and chubby, so it took a while to get her to look right 😅

[slytherinsomniari]

I finally finished it! This took unnaturally long for no reason. I am honestly not happy with it and broke down because I can’t render, but I decided to upload it anyway 😅 I finally drew Eleanor Knightley, my 2nd MC. I still need to draw her character sheet but idk when I’ll get to that. Sophronia is shy so she’s overwhelmed a lot of the time when she’s around Eleanor, but she still loves having her as a friend.

[slytherinsomniari]

Drew one of my favorite characters from Black Butler! I really need to catch up on the manga though. I’ve missed so many chapters 😂 I’m thinking of drawing a back shot of her along with two profile shots, but I’m not sure. Wanted to challenge myself though so I might.

[slytherinsomniari]

Decided to post this messed up sketch of Jenna Coleman since I haven’t posted in a bit 😅 god it’s bad. Clara’s my favorite companion though so I thought what the hell. I did try to draw her facing the raven but it also ended up terribly (and it was kind of rushed)
