Well, I Think Ive Sat On This Picture Long Enough. Three Characters In One Picture That Will Not Be Named,

Well, I think I’ve sat on this picture long enough. Three characters in one picture that will not be named, do you recognize them? XP Who knows. Anyways. So I found this palette on colourpod and suddenly knew exactly what I’d be doing with it. I think I kinda cheated a bit though. I lightened, darkened, color dodged some colors so it’s not completely the same five colors anymore... but that kinda what you’re supposed to do with real color palettes anyhow though, right? XP But anyways, yes. Fluff. And a shipper looking on who I wanted to blur out because she gets too much attention in this picture (attention hog...) but in the end I kept her. The colors were a little muddy by the end of it so I used auto-contrast to make things a little brighter, and since it’s already been a couple weeks since I last touched it, I didn’t really feel like doing anymore serious work on it... which is a shame because I REALLY wanted to do CC’s character on the left more justice here (he looks so out of character oh my gosh XD but I headcannon this is past the awkward stage so let me dream) and take my little attention hog on the right there down a notch... I was even gonna switch the side the plate was on (that overgrown flat pancake leaning off her shoulder at an odd angle doesn’t even look like a plate with food on it, does it? It was supposed to have a pancake or several on it too ironically enough...) and had some layers to that effect, but I’m too lazy now to do anything with it. So sad. Well! There’s fluff. Achievement unlocked: Draw my OTP on a romantic dinner date! *cue PS3 achievement unlocked sound effect* Anyways now I’ll let you enjoy the fluff. Goodbye!

Oh but before I go,

A song that literally became the theme of my little attention hog there...

Thank you, @swordofpower, for introducing me to this ridiculous song and having me make it her theme song for this picture XPP

(I even made a gif of her twirling off in time to it. you need to play it to have this gif make any sense... XD then you’ll watch it mesmerized for hours.)

You’re welcome, tumblr. *bows out now*

Warmups, huh? Well... maybe I’ll show a few. X3 (next post tho because it’d be easiler in photo view, will include link here when I’m done)

I’m Chelsea Beck (@chelseadrewthis) and I’m a strong believer in doodling. Here are a few of my warmups//cooldowns//workthroughs I’ve made since I started my NPR internship~ Being an illustrator means doing what you love for a living, but it also means adhering to an assignment-specific set of guidelines. Every now and then, its important to stretch your aching creative muscles. Try out a new style! Work out that idea you’ve been tossing around for a few days! Draw some dogs with glasses! Do something self-indulgent. It’ll help you build your style more than you know.

ALSO show us your warmups in the reblogs because I *know* a lot of you out there have some good ones. Thanks guys! -CB

So I had this dream I had to redesign a female villain as part of a contest my friend was holding in our group and possibly on christianmanga.com too. For some reason I picked Dominator, though the character I came out with looks nothing like her XD She’s a bit of a double-lifer, someone who leads two different lives. By day she’s a cinnamon school teacher and by night she’s a gangsta. I really liked her design so I thought I’d jot it down so I wouldn’t forget! Then I remembered I had this lion guy kicking around from another dream I had, and upon drawing him again they decided to pair up XD Haven’t done much development for them other than that, but I’m planning to use them in some group RPs to flesh them out a bit more.

...I actually like something I drew what the heck this doesn’t usually happen to me. Usually I reel away in terror after looking at something I drew again but maybe it’s just late? Or maybe it’s because of the nice color palette I don’t know. I found this color palette called Soap Bubbles on colourpod and I just enlarged the palette and drew over it with this. At first it was kinda a simple graphic thing with the colors fading into each other but then it turned into this and I really like it for some reason!? It just feels really calm and nice maybe it’s just the palette... But yeah it was called Soap Bubbles so I just drew over it with what popped into my head when I read the palette name XD This is really nice I might do more of these. I was a little uncertain about posting this up publicly because... Well I usually like to have characters fully clothed especially if it’s a public drawing XD; But I just thought it turned out so nice how could I deprive the world of it? Not even really finished or rendered completely but it kinda has a sketchy impressionistic quality I thought looks kinda interesting so?? I don’t know this is a weird feeling I don’t usually like stuff I do but the palette is really soothing, I’m so glad I found this site.

Don’t Know What to Draw?

*breathes in* Boi. How do I explain this one. Okay so, I was doing Rozzer’s Color Scheme challenge from dA and I made two versions of the top right color scheme. I really didn’t like the colors on this one though, so I decided to mess with it more on my own. The first picture is I saved all my screenshots from working on it into a sort of... collage thing XD; And the last one is the standalone final project, featured in the middle. Now, what is this? Well, it’s my OTP sharing a pocky because I could NOT get the idea out of my head after discovering the song Lost by Donkeyboy (so addicted to this song) that the picture was TOTALLY them sharing a pocky together. Even though it’s 100% out of character I think my girl there would only do this if she was heavily under the influence or something but that DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T DREAM ABOUT THIS KIND OF SITUATION. It just. Hngh something about the idea of sharing a pocky together really appeals to me. Maybe ever since I was introduced to the idea in the Daa! Daa! Daa! manga, it never really left my head. I DON’T KNOW IT’S CUTE! ...Now who are these characters? Well, they’re from a book called Torn Apart. That’s about the only thing I can tell you, because they’re super spoiler! XD Collab book with my friend, CC. The guy is her character who I violently commandeered to draw this fluff for. I basically adopted him tho he’s like my son. *frequently commandeers him for art fuff it’s a thing* But uh anyways... so that’s that! XD enjoy this rando OOC fluff~ (that you won’t understand because you haven’t read the book because it’s not out yet but I digress. if you’re a few people though you might know who these chars are, just maybe... also if you know them don’t name in them in the comments, thanks)
