Yuusuke: Happy Birthday 2005by ~threesevens

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Experiment: To draw superdeformed people/things/whatnot and have them look decent. Also, this counts as yet another attempt to draw the Dragon correctly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YUU! The earth has been blessed by twenty-four years of this excellent gentleman's presence! Everyone, get drunk immediately!!

Although this was pretty much just an inked sketch of an in-joke, it's as finished as a piece ever gets and therefore didn't deserve the "scrap" rating. ^^ What we have here, obviously, is the Dragon (whose significance is too complex to drone about here) biting Great Teacher Terao on the head with a warm and fuzzy intent.

I can only ever draw humans superdeformed, hence the reason why Yuu is not being depicted as his symbol-self.

The sad thing about this little doodle is that I've spent years trying to draw the Dragon correctly and gave up over and over because I could never grab that essential feeling that defined it; consequently, even lines that were decently accurate felt disgustingly -wrong-. And damn me if this is not the most accurate depiction I have ever made of it (apart from the superdeformed look) in all these years of trying, especially since I wasn't even REALLY trying this time. Irony = thick + hearty.

Finished just yesterday, on Yuu's birthday, but uploaded on March 26.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...

A lot of people tell me they like the way I color! It's pretty easy once you learn the tricks. I made a set color palette for each character (keeping their base colors consistent in any setting), then add shading and lighting effects over the image.Here is Gabrielle's color swatch palette:A...
