❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤// experimenting with style! (Patreon)

Hope you had a good Monday! ^o^/ Quick message before we proceed: this week's sketchdump will not include or collect requests. Requests will resume in next week's sketchdump! Thank you, that is all! Now back to our scheduled programming~ Recently I've felt like my style has started to feel stale/stray from what I want to draw. I've been playing around with different mediums to encourage myself to sketch more freely and bridge the gap between where I am versus where I want to be. I feel like it helped me a lot and I'm excited to keep playing around to see where it takes me. >:) 

Above: I just really love Widowmaker and Sombra together? Thought I'd try a new take on some casual fashions for them. I'm really into Sombra as an adult who never truly grew out of her teenage goth fashion phase haha. It's strangely fitting imo?? 

I'm also really into Moira lately, it's almost like a switch flipped in my brain and I can't seem to get her out of my mind. I love thinking of clothes for her to wear because her style is so different from the rest of the Overwatch ladies. If there's anyone who does androgyny well it's her. 

Finally got around to making stickers of the new characters! :'D This is design I came up with for Moira. I think it's fitting for her to be in very powerful and domineering poses. 

And another sticker for Brigitte of course! :D Whew, lemme just say...her armor is....a LOT. I really dig her design though, I love how sturdy and grounded her character feels. You can really sense the weight of her movements through the look of her armor! 

So I recently got an iPad because I wanted the option of working on art while I'm on the go. :D Its been a great experience so far, though I definitely still have a great deal to learn when it comes to the Procreate app. I've kinda found brushes I like but not really? I'm slowly getting used to the interface (definitely a bit of a learning curve!), but I'm already really impressed by what it offers and I want to keep working with it and record speedpaints for you soon! >:O <33

The following sketches are all done in Procreate on the iPad~

Hatsune Miku! Man, I used to draw her all the time in middle/high school. Her design became a source of comfort and familiarity for me and I would often draw her when I couldn't figure out what to make. I really wanted to play with movement and colors in this sketch and just have fun sketching/not overthink~ :D

A couple of travelers! :D Where could they be going? I may have just really wanted to draw camping gear ngl, but now I feel like developing a story out of these two characters! 

Something soft and romantic that I drew when I was in my feels one late night! There's still more that I want to add to this sketch, but I thought I'd share what I have so far! ^^

Of course there's a D.Va drawing this week, of course! :'D I really want to draw her in more modern Korean fashion. I have a hunch that she'll look amazing~ *-*

Broke out a ballpoint pen and some color pencils yesterday for some quick sketching! I wanted to draw more loosely since my digital work has started to feel stiff and I think it's just what I needed! :D In some way I feel less afraid to make mistakes when it comes to traditional sketching so I end up making more courageous decisions when drawing. It's good to shake out the cobwebs every now and then~ 

Hope you like these sketches! ^^ As I mentioned at the beginning, requests will resume next week! <3 I'm wishing you a lovely week filled with plenty of wonderful moments and lots of love! ❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
