A portrait of my oc I finished yesterday. I'm more than satisfied with the result here, especially the rendering. I drew this in order to have a 1 year comparison. Going to upload the difference here as well!

And here's the evolution of Evan. I've always wanted his face to get a little bit slimmer. Also his style changed a lot, I'm really into that golden clothes thing at the moment. I think the "just a normal guy" style fits him better!

This reaches from 2022 to 2024

A project I finished yesterday. It captures the depth of this character’s psyche, how the inner world looks like when one is fighting with their own demons.

To give even more context here, he is an exorcist and he fights demons. With his red eye he’s got the ability to see their true souls.

What makes me proud of this one is that I doodled around until I was satisfied. I didn’t use any reference and it took me 3 hours to render it. Normally I need round about 6-8 hours for those type of works!

Thanks a lot for your kind words!!

What really helped me was to have no expectations. In fact I was ready to make some bad art.

I recommend practicing this. You'll be surprised by your skills. I've heard professionals saying this too. Some quotes from professionals that inspired me:

"Don't be afraid to make bad art. In fact, most of my pieces suck. Just do whatever you feel like." - Cccinder

"The best pieces of mine are the one where I put least expectations in" -Sam does art

Thanks a lot!

Agreed. From my perspective it brings us back to the reason why we draw at all - because of simply feeling like it. Without judgement or expectations. It's only logical that the best pieces come from that mindset. Still hard to maintain in a long term of course. But we can do our best to do so!

Going to share some portrait studies and sketches from a while ago! I'm not comfortable with the guidelines/ workflow of mine so far so there's a lot of studies ahead!

Another portrait I finished today!

That means a lot, thank you! Glad you like it It's easier to do with a simple background, it'll be challenging with actual backgrounds

Finished this one and it serves as a new pfp. I hope you guys like it! I wanted to have something more serious in the first place but this here is warmer and more inviting

Hey, long time no see!

I always forget to share my stuff here, I've drawn a lot since then haha. I'm also on social media: https://www.instagram.com/cyndersart/ and I do have a blog on the discord server where I'm way more active than here I'd love to meet you guys there as well and to interact!

Anyway, here's a League fanart of High Noon Ashe!

here's also another fanart of Allen Walker!

I had a break from the 100 head challenge because I learned different techniques and currently I'm about to continue it. I drew 70 linearts of portraits so far but I'll share them later since I don't want to spam this blog at this point
