Art

Ever since I’ve started watching instructional YouTube videos on how to draw manga/anime characters, I began to see my art skills getting a bit better.

I watched this video, and instantly, my ability to draw clothes and their folds increased! The YouTuber that made this video, mikeymegamega, is an amazing artist and YouTuber. Go subscribe!

Here are some of the pictures I drew after that, collected in my binder, terraart. (new post coming on that later 😉)

The first picture I’m posting is of a girl named Celecira (Cira) Diler, from one of the many stories I wrote when I was as little younger. Unfortunately, the colors are a bit awkward because I’m using color pencils… color pencils suck! 😤

I left an example in the comments below, so even if you don’t understand what I put up there, you will have a better chance of understanding after you read what I put.

The next picture I would like to post is a black and white picture, of a girl that has no name. It’s really hard to draw in black and white, in my opinion, because it’s super annoying to erase the guidelines and keep the nice lines when I’m ready to shade.

Shading in pencil is easier than coloring with colored pencils, again, in my opinion, because it’s less flaky on paper and can actually produce a nice, bold block of color if you use it correctly.

(Caution: If you are James, Karen, or mars, STOP READING!!!)

The next picture is actually from a story that I’m in writing at the moment. I’m going to publish it to my family soon, so shhhhhh! Don’t tell them! I just showed them the pictures, I didn’t tell them where they were from. The most I’ve ever done was tell Mars, “it’s from a story I’m going to publish to our household, but I’M NOT TELLING YOU ANY MORE THAN THAT!!!”, so I think we’re still safe.

The person down below should look 20 something (I’m very inefficient for things like that, so I hope I did it correctly). Her name is Celeste, and she is a celestial being. I had to draw out all the characters for the story before progressing on, so I can actually keep going back to the picture and see what they look like before going to the story to attempt a detailed description.

Again, colored pencils are the worst things to color with, second to crayons, so please excuse all the flakyness.

At this point you’re thinking, “hey, terra’s art is great and all, but… what about the guys? Does she only draw girls?”

That’s pretty much what I’ve been thinking to myself the past month. I concluded that out of all the pictures I drew last year, only about 2% featured a boy as the person I was drawing. Taking this into consideration, I decided to try drawing another one. Please leave comments below on whether or not I succeeded, and if he looks like a boy.

This is another character from the story I’m writing. His name is Ravius, and he’s a raven-based being. Try to direct your attention somewhere other than the yucky colored pencil marks.

Anyway, that’s pretty much all that I’m going to post today, and if I make any more of these drawings, I’ll definitely put those on a new blog.

I didn’t post any of my buni-as-a-human drawings, unfortunately. (Yes, even though this is 2 years later than my last post, I still have buniz…)

If you have any recommendations for me to draw, feel free to post them in the comments section below.

Until next time!
