Squeka's Art Study - Kuriwi Milkfruit

Redrawn my old oc, Kuriwi Milkfruit (the previous name was Kiwi Milkfruit) :3. Also, it is derived from my old chibi template, added with more improvements.

Kuriwi Milkfruit

The things I tried and learned on previous arts in the previous days, I applied in this art. I am glad it feels better than before :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Steak

Nom nom.

Steak

Made a steak, because I still remembered the other day I ate a meat. This is the simple phase. Will improve it in the future.

Squeka's Art Study - Meat (Highlight, More Shading, and Background)

Continued the meat I made in previous day :3. I added highlight and more shading. Also, for the last touch, I added background.

Meat with Highlight, More Shading, and Background added

That's how far I can do. Not sure what should I add next. Probably some day if my art skill were more developed drastically, I probably will do more improvement with this art :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Meat (Shading and Bolder Lines)

Continuing the meat I made yesterday. So, I added shading and bolder line into the meat. For the bolder line, instead of changing the the weight of the line, I made another outline which similar with the meat's outline then fill the gap with color.

Meat with Shading and Bolder Lines added

Usually, I have finished in this step. However, I want to go further than this. So, I will add something more from tomorrow :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Meat

Nom nom nom :3.

Meat

I just ate a meat today so I started drawing a meat. However, I will make it slowly :3. I will focus on outline and base color first :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Some Legs

Not sure how long I did, but probably around 5 minutes :3. Just made some legs. Also, I drew only few since time almost running out in daily challenge in streak club :3.

Some Legs

At first, I tried to draw a more detailed leg, but I couldn't. So, I tried to draw more simplistic legs like the chibis :3. Maybe I will do more with legs because I still had a lot of troubles drawing them :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Expression Faces

Finished studying on making face expressions for 100 minutes :3. I used the face from the previous drawing I made several days ago.

Expression Faces

I tried many expression on her faces especially the eyes and the mouth. From this study, the direction of the line can affect of how the expression will look :3.

Squeka's Art Study - "Hello World!" Text

Finished making "Hello World" text. It is very short and I made it in less than 1 minute. I made it short since I haven't submitted to streak and I had little time left :3.

"Hello World!" Text

So, when making the text, I realized that I need to pay attention on text as well since I usually made my own title's text art each time I made a new game especially pdf game :3. Probably will do more text study in the future :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Hair and Eyes Shading

Finished studying on hair and eyes shading for 100 minutes including the time for studying the references :3. So, I wanted to try something little new for the shading, especially the shading I did in the past still needs more detail.

Hair and Eyes Shading

So for the sample, I used the previous drawing of Tempa Soybean I did before for the study. I also did with 9 samples. For the number 9, I left it unshaded so I can use it for comparison with others. After that, I tried variety of hair and eyes shading I learned from the references I studied.

So, after the study, I feel I like the number 8 best. Also, for number 5 and 7 for the eyes, I think it is interesting for me to use it in certain cases :3.

Squeka's Art Study - Hand Poses

Finally studied hand poses for 100 minutes :3. It should be done after the day I posted my OC's new outfit. However, I realized I was still very tired after doing my newest pdf game "A Line Knight and A Cave of Mushrooms", especially I did a lot of arts in that game. I am glad that tiredness is slowly over :3.

hand poses

So, I have tried to study hand poses which I still have problems until today, even I managed to draw some for my games. So, in this study, I tried to find a convenient way to draw hand. I tried a way from number 1 to 5, but I didn't find it convenient to me. So, from number 6 to 9, I tried to draw the structure based on the segments of the hand. I find it more convenient but I still did some mistakes. Also, I made the structure based on the hand poses photo I found in the google. First I find the photo as reference, then I drew the structure I learned from looking the photo hand. After that, without looking at the photo, I tried to draw hand again.

I am planning to do more hand poses study in the future, especially my target is to draw the hand without photo reference :3.

Planning More Art Study

Planning to do more art study especially I still feel missing with my art. Also, several days ago there were things I wanted to draw but I couldn't do it because of lacking of that knowledge which made me even more wanted to study more of the art :3.I feel still lack shading, human proportion, fur, texture, and many more

Also, I was inspired from my boyfriend's pixel art experiment and journal. So, in my study, I will call it "Squeka's Art Study" :3. Also, like him, I will measure how long I did that part of study.

A Line Knight and A Cave of Mushrooms

Finished making the sequel of my previous game "A Line and A Knight" (You can play the previous here) :3. It took a lot of time thinking the idea than the implementation, but I finally managed to finish them finally :3.
