most people go sketch -> lineart -> colors, but i start with color blobs and incrementaly add more detail -> lineart if i want to
i got used to it from a drawing game called drawception which had no layers and you had to draw in under 10 minutes

one of my favorite ways to draw things lately is zooming in really really far to make pixel art level stuff and scroll around, then zoom out and draw , zoom back it, etc. it makes it really interesting and fun of an experience for me idk. i kind of like the weird "bad" weirdly-composed and "unbalanced" look i get as a result of it

I sometimes will scribble on my drawing and then undo it (I only do this when I am using the computer.)

  • I leave out certain features such as belly buttons, the details in the ear lobes, and eyebrows unless the character is emoting
  • I randomly give characters sharp teeth

When digital drawing and editing the stuff I drew (adjusting colors, brightness, contrast etc.) I am a sucker for pulling the settings sliders to the extremes before settling for something I actually want. For some reason it's both hilarious and actually helpful to me, because I somehow need to know the range to judge how good this now fits my needs. I simply enjoy temporarily making my art hideous or ridiculous with way too high or too low contrast or an unfitting hue or vibrancy. Just in the preview of course, before I reset the sliders. :grin:

Just imagine someone doing their art very seriously and sternly, then opening the settings window and decidedly dragging everything to the max, smiling at the result, and then going back to serious mode. That's me. Channeling Monster Factory, I guess. :4u:

For all my life, I have been guilty of going full caveman mode and holding my pencil in a fist. Not just for drawing, but for writing too. Instead of using my pointer finger to make small movements, I rest the side of my palm on the page and make small movements by flexing my pinky finger. This will probably be the cause of my future carpal tunnel.

You would not believe the amount of people in my life who have seen me do this and thought, "oh that's just what left handed people do," (spoiler alert: it isn't). That being said, whenever I find out someone else is left handed, I immediately generate a spiritual connection to them.

my weirdest drawing habit is probably that i breathe through my nose VERY loudly when i draw, completely involuntarily-- i don't even notice i'm doing it until someone points it out. i'm simply channeling my energy into the drawing :ha:

i actually find this super helpful too!! i feel like my eyes get too used to whatever the drawing looks like, so i like to shake things up a little bit and i often find that i prefer how it looks with a few color or contrast adjustments.

not a fist, but i had a very weird Pencil Stance as a child that my teachers at school forced me out of. i would put all four of my fingers on one side of the pencil, and my thumb on the other, like a little crab claw. i was pretty good at drawing and writing that way, too  :ok:

I suppose the only "weird" thing I do with my art is I never sketch. I go straight into lineart with every piece I've ever done.

Why? I think it's because I'm lazy LOL. Sketching is a whole other process that I'd rather not spend time doing since I'm just gonna have to draw over the lines eventually anyway, so why not start with the lineart?

I do often just "sketch" though, but again, it's just immediate lines on a blank canvas with no "under painting" or otherwise.
