I’ve been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of “how to draw” videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can’t make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here’s a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Did some more colouring with my multicoloured pen for this elegant, blonde lady! 💛💕

The tag for this is #agdoodles

Daily Doodles- Day 103- 29/07/24

Decided to really go in with my multicoloured pen for this gal! The orange was sticking, so she gets a cool two-coloured hairstyle.

Daily Doodles- Day 101- 28/07/24

Another attempt at drawing an OC of mine 😅 He's cute, but he's not the vibe.

I obviously need to look back on some old art.

Miscellaneous sketches!

A doodle of dress with a skirt teeming with nature. A fleeting idea for a bigger project. I liked it, so I might do something with it one day.

I think this was a drawing of TMNT Donny as a human. TMNT 2012 specifically. One of the best TMNT eras.

'Fashion' character #1. I love drawing child characters in random pieces that they dug out from their closet. Very disney chic!

'Fashion' character #2. I actually coloured her in along with some others. I might repost that though, because the first post wasn't the best quality.

Some girls from my sketchbook that I liked!

I inked them with a red ballpoint. The first 2 are the same girl in different styles. Her name is Antoinette. Of course, she has a whole story. She's one of those Ocs you create for those times when you're bored and the only way to entertain yourself is with your thoughts

The other girl was drawn from the typical Pinterest ref, so her anatomy is a bit better.

I traced some drawings from my sketchbook and coloured them in! I'm taking the time to relearn digital drawing because it's ridiculous that it takes me a week to finish ONE character!

The final piece! To be honest, I don't like her. She didn't have any planning behind her, so that didn't help. But I wanted to finally finish her and post her, so here you go!

Because she's so boring, I decided against recording her for YouTube. I made another, more exciting piece for the video instead. I'll post it up sometime this month.

New art! A slightly annoyed and dressy young girl! I'm actually recording her process for my youtube channel. I may post it here once it's up.

Added the colour! I wanted her to be cute and candy coloured but still matchy.

I'm an artist who's relearning how to draw character art after a few years of art block. I've also decided to give digital art another go. This is one of my attempts.

I got stuck on my Ciara piece, so I started a new one!

This is my OC Ruby. She's one of those characters that you just create for the aesthetics. She's supposed to be a magical superhero, but as my views on magic have changed, she's gotta be something else! Haven't decided what yet.

Wanted to do some studies: More-so messing around with colour palettes to determine The Vibe (1) and how one palette can be used in different ways to completely change the energy (2)

Got into the swing of things by doing a Drawfee Stream Draw-along: basically, the premise is you turn on a drawfee stream, follow along with the prompts, and draw in/with the time that they do on stream.

Prompts were: Cursed Bird (Ornifex DarkSouls2), Drawfee Mug Miitopia PopStar, Modern Dungeon Meshi (Laios), and Lycaon/The Wolf From ZZZ. (Only Lycaon had a reference because I did not know what/who that was). Posted 25th July, 2024

Some colour based background studies.
