Че сюда постить?????
Maybe… some WIP? :D
somebody take the Aubrey Beardsley artbook away from me
I feel like I've been using the tablet for so long that I've forgotten how to draw in a sketchbook. But drawing patterns is new to me. I am pleased with the results of my experiment.
Something wicked this way comes~

Mimi and Dudley fanart
A bit ago I decided to draw the Landgraab siblings (Twins?) from Sims bustin' out. Unfortunately I don't really enjoy how I drew them (especially Dudley, for some reason he was really difficult for me to draw) but, I'm glad I finished up in the end and, look forward to drawing them both better in future :D
Now for context behind the sketches (yes I only just learnt how to add the keep reading thingy):
Decided that I wanted to push myself to draw a side profile, as I often default to drawing characters head on or 3/4 angle. Because this is Mimi, she's flipping someone (probably Dudley or Pat) off as well.
Then I immediately felt like drawing her face on XD, the lollipop is just there to give her hand something to hold so it's not just her head and shoulders (though I'm not the biggest fan of how it looks)
Was struggling to draw him in a way that wasn't boring, than I remembered how often he would be in the hot tub when I played bustin' out, so that's why his shirtless in a tub talking about burgers.
Tried drawing a full body pic, really don't like the result, I think the face just looks too off for me :(
✰ Simple Wrightworth sketch that I did ✰
My left hand finally healed a few days ago so I drew some AA fanart! Originally I was just going to draw Phoenix and Miles in this pose but than I thought "no the arm looks better like this" and "they should look at each over, why wouldn't they?" and didn't realize (until doing line art) that this would greatly increase how gay this drawing would look.
Of course I have no problem with my art looking gay, many times that's the goal :D but it was a tad awkward seeing my fanart becoming more and more gay as I drew this in my local public library, especially since the only table available for my the draw at had the local paper so many old people walked by (^w^J)
That experience aside, I am happy with how this drawing looks, though I still don't feel like I've fully translated these characters into my art style the way I'd like, if that makes sense, but for what this drawing is it's alright :3
✰ Bisexual lawyer solidarity ✰
After drawing Phoenix and Miles I felt like drawing Mia and got a cute idea to drawing both her and Phoenix going Objection (very creative, I know) because she was his chief and all.
Unfortunately composition is not a strong art skill of mine so their arms are cut off :P on the positive I added the bi flag in the background because I hc both of them being bisexual
But overall I do love how this drawing look, I'm especially happy with how Mia looks (aside from messing up the lineart in her hair a bit) as this is my first time drawing her and definitely not my last!
✧ Maya Fay sketch✧
Today I felt like drawing, though unfortunately my left wrist was not as healed as a thought it was last time :/ so I had to use my right hand for this. on the positive I think this came out really good considering that fact :D it's almost Identical to my left hand art style!!!
As for the drawing myself I felt like drawing another female character from Ace Attorney and I did consider drawing Ema at first (specifically her AA4/AJ design cuz she's one of my fave AJ characters, maybe fave idk, it's hard to pick a fave, so many great characters, even in just AJ alone) but than I changed my mind because I wanted to do something purple and Maya is the purple girl!
Also I gave her heterochromia cuz like Phoenix, her canon eye colour doe's change (haven't played SoJ yet, still on DD but, I've seen the official art of her for SoJ) and I notice for Phoenix this has lead to many drawing him with heterochromia, so I decided to apply this logic to Maya and, draw her with complete heterochromia and, Phoenix with central heterochromia (instead of complete heterochromia), because I thought that would be a fun way to draw Phoenix (but I accidentally did incorrectly in my last two sketches of him, oh well I'll do it ✧Wright✧ next time).
More Right hand sketches
Even more sketches plus context under cut
So my left hand Is still healing and I still wanna do art and, train my right hand so I've been continuing to draw right handed and, getting experimental/mix media/just have fun with the art process at the same time :D.
My fave sketches are of course the four above the cut (especially the one's I did on the 1st and 2nd of this month) but I like all of them :D. Also here are paint samples cuz I always sample new art supplies in my sketchbook and please note I do not agree with the dark pink being called Magenta, that's just what the paint tube says so it's listed as such.
☆ Franziska and Klavier wearing J-fashion ☆
(context under cut)
A few days ago I thought about how it's been forever since I drew j-fashion but I still wanted to draw ace attorney fanart. So than I decided to just combine the two ideas!
First I drew Franziska, I was going to draw her in Gothic lolita but than I remember old school lolita was a thing, and did that instead, because I love how cute it looks! I highly doubt she would ever wear this style in canon (it'd probably feel far too childish for her, especially considering what she wore as a child) but idc, it was fun to draw XD, as I enjoyed designing the dress (after looking at like 10 or so refs) and settling on how I wanna draw her face in my art style
Than I drew Klavier in rokku gyaru/gyaruo style, or at least tried to. I don't think it's as accurate as I'd like to both the character and the fashion style :/ but, that makes sense since it's my first time drawing Klavier and, I haven't drawn rokku gyaru style a ton. On the positive I had more fun drawing his funky hair thingy than I thought I would :-D
✧Miles Edgeworth sketches✧
Today I was in the city for a few hours and spent about half that time time drawing in my sketchbook and this is the first page I did :D
For this page I decided to draw a bunch of Edgeworth's (and a cat as a warm up) because not only is he my favourite AA character (like 80% of the fanbase lol) but also, because I hate the anime trope of characters having the exact same hairstyle from childhood to adulthood! So I wanted to try drawing the three main era's of Miles with slightly different versions of his hairstyle while trying to keep the iconic parts.
(rest of commentary has minor spoilers for AA1-5)
I enjoy the hairstyle results as I think the shorter bangs for YA Miles makes him look more bratty which fits his fanon nickname and, I've seen a few of people draw Chiefworth with a ponytail and I love that concept so much cuz, not only does it look cool af but, it also has him tie in with Simon Blackquill's design a bit which I like for DD plot reasons. So I stole the design >:-)
I also changed some minor things about Chiefworth design that I personally disliked, such as making the gold buttons sliver (it matches his hair better and, distance his design away from his young design/Manfred which I prefer personally) and his glasses to be full rimed (as a glasses wearer I hate his canon glasses! that man probably gotta rub his lenses clean multiple times a day! Also the full rimed look matches his late Father :D).
Lastly, I played around with making him look more tired/aged as he got older, this does seem to be canonish as Bratworth looks more open eyed (at least his HD trilogy sprite does) and in DD Phoenix does think to himself about Chiefworth having stronger frown lines.
I think both adult Edgeworth and Chiefworth ended up look a bit older than his canon age but I don't mind that as the man is such a workaholic and, had nightmares for a good chunk of his life so I buy him ageing faster than average physically, the faces still don't look as nice as I hoped but hopefully drawing more Miles will help fix the jankyness I see but can't quite describe lol.
✧Franziska and Maya being slay✧
Today I felt like drawing Franziska and Maya again because I had so much fun drawing them yesterday I wanted to draw them again, and design another outfit for both of them! I really love this drawings result as aside from Maya's nose bridge being slightly higher than I wanted (finicky, I know) This drawing came out looking even better than I had imagined the concept :D
Once again had fun designing the outfits, though I kinda doubt Franziska would wear a green and brown suit in canon but I certainly had a lot of fun designing it (never thought I'd enjoy drawing women's business suits but I guess I do!). Fun fact, the brown accents in the suit I originally planned to do black but, when it comes to my art, I always try to do multiple things the same colour to better unify the drawing, so I changed the accents to be brown, so Maya's right eye isn't the only thing coloured brown and, really like the result :D.
As for Maya's outfit, you can only see the shirt here but, in my mind her full outfit is this oversized flannel paired with a black full maxi skirt and probably her platform sandals. I did consider drawing Maya's full body in this drawing so I could draw the full look but I liked this composition too much to do something different :P.
Apollo and Klavier going on what was meant to be an ice cream date... until Trucy decided to tag along to get free ice cream
And Phoenix of course not only didn't stop his daughter from doing this, but actively encouraged her
This drawing was a lot of fun to draw (expect for when I got jumped scared by a spider that looked rather scary when I was mid-way done the sketch!), from the silly concept that justified these three interacting like this, to finally drawing Trucy! Though I will admit I got a bit lazy with the outfit design's, especially Klavier's as I didn't feel like drawing interesting outfit bottom and just gave him a long skirt :/, but I think Apollo's outfit being so basic really suits him (love Apollo but there's no way he's got style) :3
Also the ice cream colours were picked based off the colour palette of the characters outfits, but in my mind the white with brown bits is choc chip, blue is bubblegum, purple is either grape and pink is boysenberry. Definitely some weird flavours to mix but, to me, both Trucy and Klavier are definitely the type to have weird ice cream combos while Apollo always sticks to one "normal" flavour.
Rest of post contains spoilers for AA4/AJ and AA5/DD
In future, I definitely plan on drawing both Trucy and Klavier with different hairstyles. Especially Klavier, as it does feel weird for him to have the same hairstyle as his brother after the events of case 4-4, which makes me hate his AA5 model even more (it's my least favourite model from DD and the only DD model I generally hate, his eyes especially make me so uncomfortable he looks so uncanny to me!).
As for Trucy I just feel like experimenting with drawing her hair differently. Especially because I thought she had a bob when I first saw her sprite in AJ, so I might just have to draw her with a bob and see if I like it :P
◈ Franziska and Miles ◈
Yesterday I felt inspired to draw Franziska and Miles yet again. Not only because I like both characters and, have especially enjoyed drawing Franziska in my art style (wasn't expecting her to be the first AA character I felt comfortable drawing in my art style but, art is often a surprising journey, at least for me :P) but also, because I really wanted to draw Miles again in a casual outfit, to force myself to get better at drawing men's fashion, and I think I've definitely improved!
I referenced mostly 1950s fashion for his outfit for two reasons, one because I find modern men's fashion boring, plus it's definitely either too youthful or too basic for Miles imo and two, look at Miles, and try and tell me that even 9 year old Miles isn't at least somewhat interested in historical fashion, because most 9 year olds didn't wear a bowtie in 2001 lol (at least I assume so based off research into 2000s fashion for I was a baby than). Fun fact, I did originally look at 1910s fashion for reference but, it's wasn't what I wanted for him in this specific drawing but, it'll most likely influence future drawings with him :3
Also this drawing in my mind it set earlyish into the 7 year gap between AA3-4, as not only do I hc Miles getting glasses before his 30 (but needing them even before meeting Phoenix in court) but also, because I gave Franziska slightly shorter hair cuz I hc her slowly shorting her hair as she gets older until it's a pixie cut in her late 20s cuz, like a lot of people in this fandom, I think it suits her :D
✦ Ace Attorney sketches ✦
Today I felt like doing a bunch of Ace Attorney sketches, specifically of different sprites for multiple characters (I referenced the HD version of the trilogy sprites cuz they're higher resolution and therefore a clearer image) because, I wanted to both practice drawing a bunch of characters and also, wanted to improve my overall art skills by drawing more varied expressions! I also drew child Pearl specifically to practice drawing kids as I often default to drawing teens-adult characters.
Overall I'm happy with the results, especially the Phoenix's sketches (my favourite sketch is the second Phoenix I drew, 3rd sketch on page two) cuz he turned out way better than I expected lol. Most of these sketches are definitely rough looking but, I'm okay with that as I still feel like I've improved.
Definitely will do this again in future with different characters (next lot might be older characters like Wendy and Menfred because I really need to practice drawing people who have visible signs of age) but I'm not sure when that'll be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
❁ Maya Fey and Pearl Fey❁
Today I was drawing some NaruMitsu but after finishing the sketch I decided to leave it to work on a completely different drawing cuz, I didn't feel like finishing it today :P this of course is the drawing I did instead!
I actually really like how this drawing came out! I'm especially pleased with how Pearl turned out as it's been years since I've attempted drawing a child character full body (as recent attempts have be shoulders or torse up). I also once again had a lot of fun designing the outfits. My favourite part was doing the plaid design on Maya's skirt! I love plaid so much :3
At first I was lost on how to draw child Pearl in casual clothes (as she's young and acts her age but, is also very formal and sometimes surprisely insightful) until I remembered that she clearly looks up to Maya and likes cats, so I gave her a shirt and long skirt to match Maya's outfit but, gave the shirt a cat design cuz kids shirts do have random animal designs and/or cartoons on them (source: I have younger siblings and play legacies in the sims), I also gave her tights and flats, cuz those seem to be common in children's clothing aimed at girls and suited the outfit imo.

- Phoenix Wright (probably)
Yesterday I finished the NaruMitsu art I mentioned working on in my last post and I think I've finally done some WrightWorth art I'm happy with!
☆ ＼(^o^)／ ☆
The idea for this drawing is the two fighting in a (mostly) playful way because they disagree on what to watch :P don't have much to say (for once) on my drawing, just that I think it turned out pretty fun and I enjoyed drawing the silly concept :D
Also happy yaoi day (it's the 1st in my timezone)!
