Hello, Everyone!

Being an Arts teacher has proven inspiring once again! Welcome to "design a character from nothing", part 2 (here's 1).

👇 these are my characters 👇

Oh! Wow! These are amazing!
How did we make them?

We started from random closed shapes and gave them dimensionality using some curvy lines. I don't know if I'm explaining it well enough but it's a method the Etherington Brothers use a lot and I love it!

Then, we gave the blobs features and details with a blue pencil.
We even added some shading!

After that, we inked the sketches.

And, finally, some of us gave them colors...

... while others didn't. Sometimes I like to leave things
in black-and-white, just because.


I hope you like this short departure from my usual posts. I like it when I'm able to just draw what I want and don't know what I'm going to end up with :)

Also!
What should I name these people?
Do you have any ideas?

See you soon!
Take care and be well!
