Weather girls
Elsa unleashed. Revisiting an old idea.
I have been using PainttoolSAI for my digital arts until I recently decided to finally splash out and bought MangaStudio 5 and now I don’t know where to begin. It has so many more options, choices, fancy brushes aaaghh. And it has really brought home why I wasn’t enjoying SAI that much and what I have suspected for years, I am more of a drawer than a painter. I see it in people who do paint, they have this special way of seeing the world as blocks of colour and I struggle with that. To me, the world is lines. Curves, swooshes, long swipes and tiny strokes but it all comes down to lines. When I colour it’s just to fill in the voids between the lines. And now with this new program I feel like I have a Pandora’s box of all the pencils and markers in the world at my immediate reach and it’s sooo goood I keep drawing hasty little sketchy things and can’t decide on just one thing because I have to try eeeeverything.
I can NOT get over the hug in the end of Frozen. I mean come on, you just NEARLY lost the only other living member of your family and you hug like when saying “yeah cool I’ll see you tomorrow”??? I know Disney has an ongoing obsession with making pretty female characters always look perfect and pretty and skinny but that’s kinda not how expressing actual human emotion works.
It's spring in England so it rains pretty much every day. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. I like the rain most of the time so my warm-up sketches got out of hand.
I was putting away a used-up sketchbook and remembered these, I plotted out some of my favourite Disney heroine mottos/lessons with the kids' markers during one of the trips to Granny's. I wanted to make a full set of everyone but never found the time (story of my life!) so here are the rough ideas.
24 dress sketches for Dressember - 11/12
cheated a little and referenced heavily from a portrait of madame Pompadour so I had more time to google how to make gifs..
9/18 colour scheme prompt - Elsa for @luckyylaugh
Happy Valentine's Day to all my followers, have fun with your loved ones!
It's like you've gone away...
racebent little Anna and Elsa because I felt inspired by a fantastic cosplay.
Bonding over ice but Anna has better (warmer) ideas.
Mucha-referenced Elsa sketch. I finally saw the film oh my gods it was good, my head is buzzing and I don't know where to start!! One of the great many things I thought of is how long did it take from Elsa to figure out she could "fly" too by controlling the winds around her similar to Storm from X-men?
iPad sketch of my airport boredom preventation tool... just as I had managed to wean myself off candy crush saga as well..
Quick Elsa sketches to help me keep sane while cleaning and packing and then packing some more. Why do we have this much stuff?? House moves suck.
