This was a complicated drawing for me to make. I could only use three layers for this, so the line art had to be all in one layer. The bottom layer was the background color and Loop's color. The middle layer was Siffrin's color at 50% opacity. Honestly, the hardest part was doing Siffrin's color because Siffrin's line art is so muddled within Loop's line art. Of course, it didn't help that I decided to give them laced-up boots, but, in my defense, laced-up boots are just cool!
I also duplicated this drawing twice and changed it to just show Loop and Siffrin separately.
I really like how they turned out! Throughout the drawing process, I honestly couldn't tell if they looked good. It was in the ugly stage until I finished it. These two versions of the drawing have given me great relief because I can see that I did a good job drawing Loop and Siffrin.
You might notice that the background of the Siffrin version is a bit different. Since I was limited to three layers, I had to take out Loop's color layer.
....Which also included the background color, so I had to redo it on Siffrin's color layer. I should also mention that I actually redid the character line art on a different layer. I used two different colors for the original line art, and just erasing that thoroughly would've been a nightmare. Besides, I had to change Siffrin's line art to black anyway. I then erased the original character line art so that the background line art remained. Considering how shaky the tree's line art was, I didn't want to redo it.
Anyhow, that's all I've really got to say about this drawing. Despite this drawing containing spoilers for the secret ending, I still haven't gotten it nor seen what happens. I just know the basic gist. So, please refrain from sharing with me specific spoilers about it.
And on a somewhat unrelated note, this week I actually brought home the Siffrin bobblehead I made. I might post a picture of it here. But eh, it doesn't really look good. The clay looks wonky in places, though that is to be expected for my first time using it. The hair is the worst part because my art teacher left my bobblehead to dry before I fully finished it. But whatever, it's fine. It's kinda cute.
Anyhow, before I find a way to make this post longer, bye!
I'VE FINISHED THE GAME! FINISHED IT THIS PREVIOUS FRIDAY! IT WAS AMAZING! I WON'T GIVE ANY SPOILERS, THOUGH. BUT NOW, I'M REPLAYING THE GAME BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE - THERE'S A SECRET ENDING! When I finished the game, I immediately began watching animatics/animations that I had saved up. But then I saw a spoiler warning about the secret ending. Since I really want to get this ending, I immediately began the game again not even a hour after I finished it. I'm already back in Act 3, but I forgot how long Act 3 is. Though, I'm realizing there's a lot of things I missed in my first playthrough, so I'm still having fun.
Anyhow, onto the drawing. As you can probably tell, I'm better at drawing characters from the shoulder up (honestly, I draw characters from their shoulders up way too much). In this drawing, I was able to do more experimentation with Siffrin's design. I was able to practice drawing faces/head structures. With my previous drawings, the head was too small for me to really do a lot with it. I better at drawing things at a bigger scale at the moment.
I think I'm finally getting a hang of drawing Siffrin's hair. I really love how it looks! It's so fluffy! I think the hair in my other drawings feels too stiff, but the hair in this one feels more free.
I decided I wanted to give Siffrin an eye bag. Considering how exhausted he is, I decided it fit. I mean, Frin has been told they look as though they haven't slept in weeks. So, yeah.
My art app has a colorless blender marker, so I used that for the eye bag. I decided I wanted to experiment a bit more with blending, so I did that for a few of the shadows.
With the angle I was drawing from, I figured we would be able to see the sides of Siffrin's pins. I tried to make them look three-dimensional. I might've made them have too much depth, though. They should probably be thinner. I considered adding a shine to them, but it didn't look right considering how much white is surrounding them.
With all that in mind, I think this is my favorite drawing of Siffrin that I've done. I feel as though this one does the best job at capturing Siffrin's personality. I'm getting closer to a design for them in my art style. It's more stylized and feels more natural. My other drawings of Siffrin feel a bit forced. All in all, I think that I'm getting better at drawing them!
> Get back on the stage, Siffrin.
Probably the last merch idea I have for ISAT - a shaker charm! A lot of this is practice for other merch I make for other fandoms (since I table at cons and stuff), but I also plan on hosting a few giveaways for the ISAT fan merch I've made (all for personal use!) on my tumblr and bluesky!
I'm back in the Gravity Falls Fandom, baby! Still haven't read "The Book of Bill", though. This is my first time drawing Stanley, and I'm quite pleased with how this piece turned out. If anyone actually sees this post, feel free to comment about your favorite scene with Stan. My favorite scene is either when Stan fought a pteridactyle (no idea if I spelled that right) or when he fought those zombies.
So I’ve noticed that in this fandom it’s common to include Deaf/ASL-using-characters into stories, which is honestly AMAZING and makes me SO HAPPY TO SEE, but many of us aren’t deaf we rely on resources, therefore:
My ASL teacher gave us this website cause it’s updates constantly (ASL evolves lots) and it’s a lot more accurate and reliable than just google :))
To work it- type the word, and a word bank will pull up, click on the term u want and a video/description of the sign and word will appear!!!
It’s rlly simple and has most words and if it doesn’t it’s bc it’s finger spelled probs!!!!
If u want more in-depth good grammar, search up “five parameters ASL”, “glossing in ASL” and watch a few videos to see “how sentence structure differs in ASL”
As always, remember it’s ok to make mistakes/notice a mistake, just be mindful and kind :D most of us aren’t out for malice and if someone is it’ll probs be very obv 😭
Happy Creating!!
Edit: A THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE REBLOGS :)) if anyone ever needs any help drop a comment or look at other reblogs!! There’s lot of other resources/tips there!!!
Just a doodle I did of Mabel. I think she might actually have a sweater like this, but I don't remember for sure.
Check out my other Mabel drawing! The artstyle looks different from this piece because I don't have definate artstyle, yet.
This a drawing I did of Eda the Owl Lady. I almost scrapped this drawing, but it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I think I ended up mimicking the art style of the show with how I drew her nose and pupils. I didn't really mean to do that, but it was just easy to incorporate in this drawing. I think that's because the show's artstyle is closer to mine than the artstyles of my other fandoms. Anyhow, I had loads of fun making this piece. (Also, the colors might be a tidge bit off - I didn't use a reference. I was also experimenting with shading and an imaginary light source, so that might be off, too.)
I'm a 16 year old amature artist. I only speak English, currently. I go by she/her or they/them. I support the LGBTQ. My current fandoms are Gravity Falls and The Owl House. I'm not that knowledgeable about the Gaza situation, so I probably won't be able to help too much. I can only reblog posts about it, at the moment.
