I Keep Seeing A Discourse In The Art Community Recently About Whether An Artist Should Omit Or Change

i keep seeing a discourse in the art community recently about whether an artist should omit or change a character's features based on their style.

my take on that is you don't have to sacrifice a character's feature to fit your style; it's supposed to be the other way around.

in order for us to get rid of the same-face syndrome, we must be flexible in what we draw and how we stylize a reference.

i did a quick portrait study and added notes on each process. remember that this isn't a one-size-fits-all tutorial and feel free to only take what's best for you.

Ahem…

JESPER FAHEY IS NOT JUST A COMIC RELIEF CHARACTER. YES HE MAKES JOKES AND FLIRTS BUT HE IS ALSO A COMPLEX CHARACTER THAT HAS BOTH AN INFLATED SENSE OF SELF AND POOR SELF ESTEEM AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT HIS PURPOSE IS IN LIFE

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune 🌻 I am smitten with this book

I feel like TJ Klune has really tapped into the boundless queer yearning to have love and sanctuary, and a funny little house.

Jogs the liver!

I've always imagined jesper with dimples.
