Here's the finished product, but I also like the drawing without the effect over it.
So here's this version. I think I like this drawing (both versions) more than my previous Sif drawing. This one has a more unique pose and expression. (My idea was that Siffrin was jumping and about to attack.) I also put more work towards the background. It took me quite a while to draw the clocks. The numbers look a bit cramped, but I do not have the patience to fix that. I used stars as the clock handles to represent that time isn't truly passing. I think I put more work/creativity into this drawing, so I proud of myself for that. I want to add more abstract ideas/concepts in my drawings, so I think this is a good starting point.
Unlike my previous drawing, I drew Frin's cloak correctly. Did I draw the dagger correctly this time? Ha! Nooo. Of course not. Anyhow, I still haven't finished the game, so I'm trying to avoid spoilers. I might be on Tumbler less, in other words.
You can check out my previous Siffrin drawing here.
This drawing was mostly me just messing around with my art app. Specifically, I was messing around with the background. I liked how it turned out. I think that it actually looks like a cloudy day! I didn't feel like line art for the character would match up with the style of the background, so I just colored over my sketch. The character's design is based off of Coraline (the movie). Anyhow, I like how the drawing turned out.
This is just a doodle I did of Siffrin in a cute outfit.
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!

Transcript: You can do this forever...
My favorite part of my art process is the color. Color can bring a piece to life, make it feel full. But...
It's hard to do that with a character that's just black and white! Since I've been mostly drawing Siffrin, my usual coloring process has become boring. Though, on the plus side, this makes me want to experiment more. I've been messing around with the tools in my art app (Infinite Painter) during my art process recently. That's how I got this piece. I used one of the charcoal tools for the shadows. I think it's called Glazed Vine. I don't remember what tool I used for the values on the cloak. It might have been the same tool, but I think it was different.
With using absolute black for Siffrin's design and the background, I had to outline the blacks with thin white line art. Though, with the lines being so thin, they were somewhat translucent. Whenever I had to use multiple strokes for a connected line, you could see everytime I lifted up my stylus. I tried to fix this by inking the lines multiple times. That fixed the problem, but that made the lines way too bright. So I looked at one of the lines that didn't need multiple attempts of line art, and I used my color picker on the line to get a light gray. Then I used the light grey to redo the bright white line art, and viola. Problem solved!
I had difficulty figuring out the pose and anatomy for this artwork. I probably should have searched up a reference, but meh. I think it turned out pretty good, anyways. I think I struggled with making the feet look like they're touching the ground, though. I suppose there could be more anatomy mistakes, but hey! Siffrin's cloak does a fantastic job at hiding any mistakes I could've made. Speaking of the cloak, I really like how it turned out! I think I did a good job with the cloak folds.
And that's basically all I have to say about this piece. Though, I want to mention that, for some reason, it's easier for me to draw anatomy and poses on paper than on my phone. I don't really know why that is. Maybe it's because I have more surface to draw on with my sketchbook?
Anyhow, I'll go ahead and add the initial sketch and a screenshot of my artwork in the middle of the coloring process.
I was originally planning on this piece being about Siffrin sacrificing himself for their friends, but I ended up changing that. I also had to change the hands. You can see that the hand holding Siffrin's dagger is wrong.
I added the mid-color screenshot because I just think it looks cool. It kinda reminds me of something that Julia from Drawfee would paint.
Back To basics. Just finished a big project and I'm back to drawing for fun, playing around on Procreate and remembering just how fun and powerful that app is!
First time drawing her in four years. It's amazing how much my art has improve since then. My art used to look like a bunch of scribbles, but now everything is clear and percise. Soon I'll have to draw her twin, so I look forward to seeing how I draw him.
Edit: I have drawn her twin! And while you go find him, why not see Stan, 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.
