what i wore 002

derp. so, this WIW is super delayed, because for some reason this picture gave me a bunch of grief! i think i ended up redrawing the head 3 times. i'm not even sure why; it's not even a difficult pose or anything! ah well.

but, anyways... here's numero dos in my what i wore series :3 i spent some more time on this one and think i'm already getting a better hang of them. human faces are hard ;__; faces'n'hands, the bane of so many artists' existence(...s?)

i find digital art can be quite unforgiving in some ways; it seems easier to mask mistakes in a sketch! buttt getting past that is one of the things i'm trying to practice. (and not "cheating" by colouring under sketches ;) ...or making it look ~sketchier~ like i did for my last one. ha.)

(as satisfying as braids are to draw, i've made a mental note to wear my hair differently for the next one... haha.)

what i wore 001

hello, hello! this marks the first in a new series i'm quite excited about, so brilliantly entitled 'what i wore' (WIW).

it's basically exactly what it sounds like... haha. an OOTD, only (obviously) drawn. this series is inspired by viet-my bui, who i got the idea from. i absolutely love her WIW drawings (and her art in general)! i really want to start drawing more frequently, and opening up my comfort zone a bit in terms of my subjects. these are great practice, so i'm planning on doing at least one a week, with the hope of improving as time goes on. i also like the idea of sharing more of my artwork on here!

anyways, i figured it was appropriate to begin with an outfit fairly typical of me, as this one is. baggy tops and leggings pretty much comprise my typical uniform (the white 'tunic' is actually just a very oversized v-neck t-shirt). something i enjoy doing is taking simple, basic pieces and pairing them together to make something... less simple and basic! you'll also find a side-braid is my go-to hairstyle. (not pictured are the stacked bracelets which i'm also almost always wearing an assortment of.)

so... yeah. in terms of the drawing, it's just something i sketched on paper & transferred into photoshop for colouring. i'm okay with where i am as a starting point... but am definitely looking forward to practicing more so these are quicker and easier to make :)

p.s.: cardigan & shirt - from old navy, ages ago, on clearance. braided belt from ardene. boots from payless. :3
