Rain will drown my sea of memories.. (Original art + Process)
Hello after a month of not posting I am here again
Yes I am sorry for not being active here, and even on the discord server.. I promised I will but I just dissapeared again, well, I missed out on a lot of things. Drama, (here and the people around me) and people calling out on each other I hate it hhh >~< then me trying to get into college etc. Ooof I am not mentally stable to even write this to be honest but y'know I don't want to dissapoint people haha-
But at the time frame when I wasn't here I have been making and fixing art that I've made!! I've been writing something I'm planning on. AND practicing!
So I have made this art!
Yeah I've made an animation of a video but I wasn't proud of it.. I will post it here on whaleshares.. I won't be excited as I used to be hahah sorry. I'm just not proud of it and I'm sorry.
Anyways lets get onto..
The process!
- Sketching
We are moving to the sketch! This is where I plan most of the drawing, where the lights, the inspiration for this was.. A funny story haha
I was looking at someones profile when I saw a picture/video of a flashing lights.. Dangling off the ceiling, I think the person was visiting some place, but these lights we're so pretty, I looked at the video to see how pretty the lights flicker on and off.
Then an another picture of someone and this time it's photos and pictures dangling off a string that is attached on the ceiling
So I wanted to combine both of those and voila! I had an idea for a drawing.
Hahah, and combined with a new original character (this is while I was having a hard time and it was kinda a vent OC) I decided to make her the main thing to look at here.
- Coloring
Then I start to color. First I colored the umbrella
I went with the "lineless" artstyle it was supposed to be an experiment but I ended up making it lineless.
Then as you can see I start to form my OC, named RAIN, she is supposed to he happy but sad person? I cannot explain, but she is always happy but on the inside she is sad. Is my own explanation.
Then here are some screenshots I have nothing to say other than I drew the lineless
Maybe I'll make a tutorial..
Yeah maybe, but as of right now I'm still perfecting this
Fun fact: I didn't mean to make her hair look like that! It was supposed to be long and just blue, but it was a mistake and I ended up making the hair look like its colored with a stripe
- Starting off with the BG
Then I colored the sea or the pond (honestly don't know what it is)
Then I started to color the bushes, I was thinking making the bushes glow but I kind of scrapt that idea.
Yeah it looks bad..
I draw the basic lines of the pond, like how the water effects the environment and how the lilypad makes the water move
Making the things dangle!!! I love this part of the drawing, but it felt so repetitive aaaa
Adding details for the thing
Then I start to copy and paste
Anddd..
FINISHED!!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Thankyou for reading this. Why are all of you so nice to me?.. I don't understand sometimes.. Isn't the world supposed to be dark and mean..? I'm so glad you all met me and I met you
And I'm sorry for making you all worry.. My swollen hand is fine (its not swollen anymore) and my health is fine too.. Thankyou so much.. I can't say anything but thankyou..
I love you all so much thankyou..
