Hi there it's good to see you again.
I am back with another sketchbook update this time for August.
So make sure you go check out my previous sketchbook updates I do one every single month.
And I will leave a link in the description
To Mini's video where she will also show you her artwork for August.
But here's my artwork for August, and this is a little bit more messier than my regular sketchbook updates
Just because in this one I was using my entire sketchbook and trying to fill up my whole sketchbook
Which is why I have drawings scattered everywhere around the book
but first up
I will show you this cause I only just remembered that I have this.
I was starting to draw a picture of me, Midnight on the front cover of this book
And I wanted to try out my new opaque white pen with drawing the face
But it didn't quite work out as I had hoped, but I will finish this some time, but it's kind of half finished now
This is a realistic face study, which kind of looks more Disney
I think but I used a reference by the great photographer M0thArt
Who used to be on Deviant art and I used to follow her on Deviant art... or him?
But they've deactivated their account now for some reason
And I don't know why but it's it's a shame because I really liked their photography
And I'm not usually one for photography, but anyway
This is a face I drew from a photo that they took
Just for reference, and I really like how it turned out
But I think the lips might be a bit big so that's an old drawing here
So here is another
Sketch and I had this kind of half-finished for a really long time, and I just wanted to try practicing some faces
I don't like that face as much but I do like this face. I think that worked out quite well, this one here.
And here I try drawing a profile face, but I don't think that worked out as well
I'm still not great at drawing faces side on. I'm more better at drawing faces
Front on or from a side angle like that not from straight side angle, so yeah
And here was some eyes because I love drawing eyes. Eyes are my favourite thing to draw.
and I was trying to draw anime eyes in a more realistic way but
These are just kind of sketches, so I used some references for these as well just for practice not for this one
I kind of use references for these ones
And when I was trying to make anime eyes into realistic eyes
And on the other side. I have some facial studies, so here's a girl face
This is based off my OC Alix from my manga project Reflections Through Time
And I was also trying some male faces
But I don't really like them that much I messed up on them a lot his face is obviously too wide
And that one just looks weird
So yeah, I messed up a bit on these ones, but I just wanted to
Practice some more male faces because I don't usually draw them that much
Here are some
Realistic side faces because as I mentioned before
I'm not really good at drawing faces side on so I wanted to practice it and
I really like how this girl's face turned out. I think it looks really quite pretty though
I still don't know how to draw it without
References because this is also a referenced picture
but
So that's something I still need to practice on it's really just the size of the nose and the lips I can kind of draw
the eyes, but it's about the sizing I think and
here's a male face and
It looks a little creepy
It actually looks a lot like Edward from Twilight
um
kind of I guess, but it's not very good I
Still have a lot to work on with these I do like the cross-hatching shading though, I think that looks nice
Although I still quite like these they're interesting yeah, and here are some building studies. I guess
So I've got some more 19th century houses here. This is just a 19th century building
Because for those who don't know my manga project is actually set in the 19th century for most of the story
So it has got a lot of modern-day stuff, but a lot of it is also set in 19th century
in nineteenth-century time
So that's why I have a lot of buildings, and I do a lot of practice
This is the main house from the story, so I was just giving a little sketch of that
Of course the ones in the story are a lot neater than this that's just another practice there this house down here is
a modern day house, so I've got the driveway and
Ignore that car, that car's not good
so yeah
Here are some male muscle studies, which look really awkward, so
Yeah, they were previous
Yeah and
of course these were referenced as well, but I don't really like drawing muscles, so it's my first time drawing them and
They look really weird
You guys have seen these sketches before, but I've added a bit more to them
So here's this original style which I was using the practice another style
So I ended up trying to draw the same character in my own style along this odd style
And I feel like it's a lot better
The proportions are a bit wrong with though, but as I said, it's just a sketch
I do like this one a lot better though. I think I think this sketch here looks really nice
That I really like during this style of clothing so that's probably why?
And these are some old drawings again
Here's a little picture when I was practicing during TVs and
That was the start of another one that I didn't finish it, but here is chibi me or chibi Midnight holding up a paintbrush
and I think this is really cute, but of course there's still things that are out of proportion here I
Can't play a few drawings here
so here are some leg studies, so I've got some genes here and some girl legs and
Some side on legs lots and lots of legs here I
Think I like the drawing of the jeans the best and nice
That's the back of someone's legs the side of someone's legs just in general. It's lots of legs
This is nothing much, but I was practicing this from a tutorial on Divina about perspective and using shapes
So yeah, that's why I've got this odd, shape here because in the in the tutorial they said try drawing some circles
with different sizes so and then name them one two three four five and six and
Then try and connect them in perspective, and yeah, I messed up, but there's nothing
And this is a sketch I'm not very proud of but I want to redraw it sometime because
It had a good potential to go really well
it was a gender bend of my character and my friend Rim Draw's character together, but
I made a mistake
I made a grave mistake
So yeah, that's something I want to finish sometime because I think it would turn out really good
Go visit Rim Draws's channel by the way cuz she's an amazing artist her work is so cool (and she's mah twinsu so yeeee >///<)
Please do I'll put a link to her channel in the description. That's her character, too
Okay here we've got all new stuff now.
So here here is kind of a height chart of the characters from my manga projects
Which I said as I said before is called reflections through time, and that's a project. I've been working on since I was about
12 or 13
But I've only really started taking the project really seriously since I was
16 I'm 17 now, so
So I've got all the characters lined up here, but obviously it's not quite finished yet
I've only done free characters here
so this is Martha and Frederick and Annabelle and
I'll give you more details about all of these characters sometime in the future when the manga is closer to completion
Though you guys probably know Annabelle a bit more because I've drawn her a few times in my art
And you guys
Probably saw these poses already in my recent prose tutorial if you haven't seen that tutorial
Please go and check that out. I'll leave a link in the description
But here are all the poses that are used in that tutorial and this was just a sketch I did
So that I would have an idea of all the poses I would show on the tutorial
And I drew them a lot neater in that tutorial
But I got a bit mixed up halfway with which pose came next but please go and check it out
I put a lot of effort into that tutorial
And here is something I drew to the practice perspective
And these were more
really bad perspective practices
Especially this one. I don't know what that is supposed to be but it looks odd. That's a little better over the legs of off
And by that point I just get move up and I just tried to do something normal
Here's some male faces
So this one I was trying to be inspired by Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight who the manga
there is drawn by one of my favorite artists Matsuri Hino and
I really liked the way she draws males, so I was trying to practice during that and it didn't go too
Well because I'm not very good at drawing in that style
the that was one I tried to draw in my style, but I was going through a bit of art block at the time I
Put some sticky notes here because I didn't like the drawings underneath as you can see that looks weird
So I'm covering it up with
These two drawings here um
So yeah nothing much to say about those
This was the start of something I was inking but again. I have not finished it
I have a lot of unfinished stuff in this sketchbook
This is one of them, and I was planning on making it all spooky
I was just gonna ink in there
But then I became worried that I would use up all my inking pens
because I'm trying to save those for that giant canvas art that I've been drawing that you guys saw my coloring update to
Here is some manga style art that I was going to use in a
How-to ink man key tutorial video not know I wasn't Hannah
Ink it was going to be traditional manga in King versus digital main kinking
But I didn't like how this drawing was turning out especially this face here
because that's me there and that was going to be Momo my other character and
I
Felt like I'm messed up on it, so I didn't really want to show it in the video
But I thought I would share it with you guys today in this sketchbook update
but I probably will make the manga video solos some other time with maybe a different drawings, but
Because this I like this drawing you that I think that's nice just that
that alone
But I think I messed up on this caster. So maybe if it was midnight alone. Maybe that would be right fine
Here are some more male face studies, and I do plan on drawing males a lot more I
Do plan on drawing males a lot more just because I need to practice drawing their faces?
And I don't draw them as much as I do with female characters, so that's why they're not as good. I'm not
Proud of that one that one doesn't look very good though when I was trying to make a look more mature
By moving the eyes up, but I think it would be better if I moved the eyes down a bit
The one I was trying to make look serious, but it looks more like his either about sneeze
Or he is trying really hard to read something and squinting because he can't read it
Which is not what I in had intended. I intended a nice serious look but
This one's also a failed attempts at
A drawing so I was trying to draw it more
Not sidon, but a more free quarter view
But the nose is way too big and it kind of looks like he's about to sneeze like he's going ha
And he's about to go
Sneezing so that's another fail there
But hey everyone has to start somewhere right and it's been a while since I've drawn males like this so
This was something referenced
Which I think I messed it up a bit with the hand and it probably would have been better if I just tried to ring
It myself and this last one here. I do like this one
It's kind of an angry male character, but he's kind of blushing at the same time, so he's kind of
Tsundere I guess like
Angry that the female character doesn't notice him or something
And I like that expression. I like drawing interesting expressions
Here are some couple sketches, so here's a goat male and female female and male character together
Um he is
cute hug thing
When it goes kind of sad, and he's like it's okay, it's okay
And in this picture, I imagined he kind of wrapped the stuff he kind of wrapped the scarf around her to comfort her and
He's just like he's just like yeah the nightmares are gone
interesting no no mine is
Here is another perspective practice, and I'm a bit more proud of this one
It is Annabelle, but her face doesn't look like an idol
And she's reaching for an apple in the trees
So I do think this one's too bad it could be worse I
Find it really hard to draw hands in perspective especially with the fingernails and everything like that
This was the start of a sketch of Annabelle maybe walking through the town, but it didn't I
Had imagined something else and when I sketched it down. It didn't look quite. How I imagined
This is Alex the main character from my
mega project
With her hair braided, but I think her hair is too long in this one because her hair is quite short
It's probably isn't long enough in his book. It's her with a bit more longer hair
This is a more
Different expression, I don't know what the expression is showing she looks a bit
Disgusted like Earth a couple of you do that
Here is some birthday art for Mini because she just celebrated her 29th birthday, so happy birthday Mini
Yeah, and I shared that on my Facebook page so go check that out
She is something where I was trying to practice perspective with again my characters Alix and Annabelle but I
Didn't like how it was turning out. It wasn't like how I imagined
And I was trying to redraw something for the manga traditional versus digital video, but I didn't know I
Didn't know what to draw for it
And I was going through a bit of an art block so that's why I ended up leaving that video now
This is Alex again
Leaning against the window and looking outside, and I was thinking of using this for it, but I didn't like that
I'm very fussy with it
And here is Alex in her school uniform
looking all ready for school and
Annabelle wearing her uniform as well
Where she is?
And I really love drawing Annabelle, and you know why because of all of her beautiful long hair, and I love short hair, too
but I don't know long hair is really fun to ink and to draw and
Here is the final drawing for today's sketchbook update
So here's blade
And these two are brothers, so this is blade and this is Zane
And I wanted to draw them together because I don't draw males that much again
But I was thinking sometime I might want to try drawing things with each of them on their own, so
Zane on his own and blade on his own in the other characters on their own
So I could really try and show each of their characters in the art
But that's the end of this video for today
I hope you enjoyed it. Please let me know in the comments which drawing for August is your favorites
