[Aqui's artycave] ♣

Welcome to my gallery~!

@Deutsche, es ist fast derselbe Mist wie im alten Forum, don't bother

About me n my art:

• I've been drawing digitally for about.. almost 4 years I believe.

Sometimes I'd still grab the pencil but it's more little scribbles than actual drawings~

• I don't draw Anime. I did at the beginning but it's just not my style.
So, expect semi-realism here, striving to get better and better at it

• I just recently bought my HUION Kamvas GT-156 HD V2 as my second graphics tablet and the first with its own screen.
I use PaintToolSAI Ver2 for drawing and occasionally MediBang for finishing effects.

• If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask~

• I'm here for criticism!

If you find something I could improve, tell me!

Don't hesitate to point out little or big flaws within my paintings, that's how I'll be able to improve:)

However, please don't forget that there's a human being with feelings behind this screen, so take a little care of your language and don't just say "Your drawings suck" or stuff (I've had to read stuff like this multiple times before)

• Obv, positive stuff is always welcome as well~

Probably the only thing that's of interest for you

Commissions/Requests?

I usually do not accept commissions since I, more like.. force myself into doing them and torture myself by doing them.

As I mentioned before I really am a person that's driven by inspiration, and other people's requests often don't really sparkle my interest,
so it really depends on what I am supposed to draw for you whether I'd do it or not.

But especially since I barely play Elsword I would only be able to take RL currency which is not allowed in here, right?

but if no one's interested it doesn't matter anyway, right

[ENG] I can't draw ANYTHING as of lately, everything looks ugly.. guess I'm having an annoying artblock again.

so here a little scribble of like 10 mins, i'm dead-

[DE] Diese Doppelübersetzungen sind jetzt schon anstrengend, abgesehen vom Marktplatz hat diese Zusammenführung doch absolut null Sinn ;;

Artblock af. Hab zwar gerade noch n richtiges WIP da, aber das einzige, was gut aussieht ist der Hintergrund bisher, es ist frustrierend..

ich will's fertig bekommen aber ich will auch aufhören und aaah- deshalb 10min Skizze von Namjoon, um da etwas rauszukommen, idk anymore

I'm in love with the new JINtro-

[EN] The suit and face made me struggle a bit but other than that I was simply in love with this drawing, though the bg doesn't look like rain.. ;;

[DE] Endlich wieder ne Zeichnung an der ich Spaß hatte ;; Auch wenn ich bei der Haut wieder kurz davor war, aufzugeben. Und es ist offiziell, ich kann kein Karomuster zeichnen.

Hintergrund sieht zwar echt cool aus mMn, aber nicht wirklich wie Regen..xd ups, egal

Did I Mention How Much I Love Their New Song Epiphany?? No? I'll Just Say It Again Because Y'all Care So Much </3

experiment stylized painting

ref

EN this took like 3h less than a full painting and still looks halfway decent, welp

maybe I'll finish, maybe I'll try to draw more like this, idk yet~

DE hat mich gefühlt keine 30min gekostet und sieht sogar echt in Ordnung aus

vllt mach ich mehr davon, weiß gerade nicht genau, welcher Stil mir besser gefällt

So, ich antworte dir endlich mal, weil ich auch endlich was zum updaten habe.

Vielen lieben Dank erstmal für die Rückmeldung! Bin froh dass es dir gefällt, ich bin im Moment irgendwie nicht richtig zufrieden mit meinem Stil, aber vielleicht findet sich das wieder~

Danke für den Tipp mit dem Regen, hab einfach das vom Video nachgemacht, vielleicht nicht die beste Idee. War auch so vernarrt in den coolen Effekt, dass ich an den Strichen kaum was verändern wollte xd

Und das mit dem harten Übergang an der Wange hab ich auch gsehen als du es erwähnt hast, muss ich besser aufpassen ^^'

"finished drawing"

I was lazy

I realized how much easier it is to paint like this? Especially skin looks so smooth n stuff, I like it so much I started painting all my drawings this way

And instead of finishing this drawing I started weeks ago...

I started a new one today

someone help me

I'm missing creativity, idk.. I don't play any games or watch any Anime anymore, the only thing I can draw are rl people and sceneries :l

Quote from Clau

Hey Aquilaria, ich lurke ja schon seit dem alten Forum hin und wieder in deinem Thread rum und muss Chana da nur mit ganzem Herzen zustimmen. Ich glaub gerade weil du dir jetzt reale Menschen als Vorbild nimmst, verbesserst du dich so stark, wie du es jetzt tust! Bin echt beeindruckt und sehe da ne Menge Potenzial

Keep up the good work o/

Oh mein Gott, vielen lieben Dank! >^<

Ich hatte das Gefühl, dadurch dass ich nur noch echte Menschen zeichne, nehme ich dem ganzen ein bisschen den Schwierigkeitsgrad und bleibe auf einer Stelle stehen, aber deine lieben Worte sind gerade ein riesiger Motivationsschub, dankeschön!

I will! ;p

Finished

Please ignore that his ears are uneven, I am.. blind apparently

- - - - - - - -

Tried adding an overlay layer again on this one^

Aimed at emphasizing the light source n stuff and I think it's the first time in a while it actually worked out, I'm happy with it~

Loved painting the details in his accessory even though it took a lot of time

I also got Sai2 and had to paint his hair with a different brush but I like this one so much more? Looks much fluffier and less stiff imo

And since I'm sick rn I'm lying in bed for hours and drawing so much, so I guess you can anticipate new stuff soon

More of them because I can't get enough of their beauty-

Ref

I tried light source and a new perspective (=from below) at the same time and..

It did not turn out horribly, there are some good things but.. there are also some really bad things :l

Whatever, guess I just gotta practice a little more~

And something astonishing!!

Non BTS and a female!

Ref

The last time I've drawn a female was.. Athena.. four months ago, in May.. I've become such trash

And I've learned that I'm never gonna draw this much lace ever again.. took so much time.

I struggled with her tilted head a little, it's still not perfectly right but it's okay I think~

Guess I'm alive again more or less lol

A female again and non-asian, I'm becoming revolutionary guys

Jen Ledger from the band Skillet~

I would draw only hair if that was possible lol, I enjoy that so much tbh

I'm still alive, at least physically.

University is taking up all of my free time rn, so forgive me for not updating, I'm sincerely sorry.

Got a WIP lying around and i tried working on it when I had a day off (in weeks lol) and I just noticed how much I have to adapt to everything again? I became really slow at everything and struggle a lot with shapes and proportions again, so I don't even feel like grabbing my tablet again because I think I'm just not able to achieve anything?

It's a little tough rn but maybe I can get over it or at least post some tradiional art since that's working a little bit better for me atm.

Gotta see

aaaaaah LIFE

ref (2nd pic)

This is not the WIP I was talking about but.... I didn't like the last one and just fell in love with this photo!

And I already got like 5 other things I wanna start drawing lol, exams are approaching..yes....

Anyway, I practiced hard light and shadow on this one again, I feel like the drawings are so lifeless without it so I cannot leave it blank anymore. I hope that's a good thing~

oh right, this is Jimin again btw

I forgot how to draw hair lol

I wanna cry, the thing I loved the most-

(useless) Speedpaint

Got faster at drawing the face tho, I think..

I need to learn how to paint with a focus point because I feel my eyes all over the place when I look at this one..

Or is it just me? Damn.. whatever

Happy V Day

💜

oh right, I forgot

since everyone is doing this apparently:

I'm in love with the progress I made, like.. truthfully ;;
Sometimes I seem to fall back to old habits though, I'm not 100% consistent yet with my style/skills.

So I guess that's what I'm gonna try to work on in 2019 and see how much I can pull of

woaaaaaah, NEW

^{_{와ㅏㅏㅏㅏ}}

Ref1 | Ref2 | Ref3 | Ref4

I can't count till 3 please forgive me aight-

jokes aside, I actually even made a voice over for this but I don't like some parts so idk if I should upload it or not.. .-.

but without it it's pretty useless isn't it? heh

This is the first time I've actually done a "tutorial" and I always thought it was so difficult and exhausting but it is not??
I kinda enjoyed it, I'm surprised

The refs are actually all things I wanted to make a full drawing of but I guess this is also a way of releasing surplus of inspiration lol

omg du bist echt sweet, danke ;;

Ich versteh auch endlich was daran so störend (/too much) war, ich kann mal gucken dass ich bei meiner nächsten Zeichnung versuche alles umzusetzen! Bin gerade echt neugierig, wie das dann aussehen würde

Und tbh weiß ich auch nicht ganz was mich bei den Haaren so gestört hat lol
Ich weiß dass ich diesmal n bisschen gestruggled hab aber so am Endergebnis...? Vllt dass die nicht so schön mit der Haut verschmelzen? Sieht an manchen Stellen so draufgeklatscht aus aaaaber egal, whatever

Ouh yes, Farben angeben wäre vllt nicht schlecht gewesen. Und ich hab nur beim Licht am Ende nen anderen Layermodus verwendet, deshalb hab ich das komplett vergessen lol, danke auf jeden Fall für die Verbesserungsvorschläge!

^{_{und #2 war auch mein liebstes heh}}

ich glaube...

Ich brauche noch nen Versuch

Ref1 | Ref2

It doesn't even look like him

Ich hab harte Schatten links von seinem Arm versucht aber letztenendes wieder so viel verblendet, dass es soft ist lol...

War n bisschen faul bei den Haaren und bereue es..

I'm just seeing so many mistakes every time I'm finished GOD

i'm sad

Hab aber alles aufgenommen, vllt lade ich morgen ein Speedpaint hoch.

Okay maybe today-

Rewatching this I feel like I only spent like half the amount of time on.. basically everything. Especially the face tho.

Idk if this is good or not..
