i think i need to move the cthulhu spawn's hand around a bit so i can see more of the forearm for a better pose.
crud. i knew i shoulda put it on a separate layer. QQ

edit:
rough sketch for a 'girl next door'-type character.
- i'm having A LOT OF TROUBLE drawing pretty eyes, so i'm trying a simplified eye style until i get better at drawing.
if anybody has good tips on drawing eyes, it'd be much appreciated. coloring the eyes doesn't seem as difficult, just
getting the outlines right.
- didn't use any references, so the pose seems off - especially the arms. some of the angles and lengths maybe.
i need to use references, but it just feels like cheating and copying. maybe i need to get over that hangup. dunno.
- i don't mind her weight being shifted to her right leg. feels more dynamic and cheerful. her arms are also out so i think
that balances her out. maybe.
- her helmet, um, her hair ... yeah. gonna have to devote some time to hair study. it's temporary.
i'll fix it up after i study the hair. i was going through some of the advice given on this forum and
read some good tips on drawing hair (no disconnected lines).
- her design is pretty plain, but just wanted to sketch something to start with and improve upon.
edit2: (tl;dr urgh, it sucks. so frustrating trying to draw kawaii.)
edit3: sorry about all the ninja-editing. can't help myself.
