The scuff is strong here. First, it was based on a sketch I made on my tablet. Good news: I remembered to record it! Bad news: the video got corrupted, and it shows basically nothing... of to a great start. So the "art" part of this post is going to be even more lackluster than usual. Quick Citrus disclaimer: recently I have an opportunity to watch someone learn something new. It's a weirdly fun experience and quite enjoyable. I'm sharing it with you because when I learn, I always feel like people will get mad at me for trying, like I should already be good or never start. But trying new things is really cool! Watching someone grow and learn is fun and brings a lot of joy. So don't be afraid to learn and to share it! Also, 90% of the times you are much better than you think you are, your tries are not as awful as you think. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h03m14s630.png) This is the first screen that I can show. The whole sketching thing really helps in some places, but it don't solve problems that come with an awful sketch. I guess it's something you start to see with an experience. For example, here, the head is waaay too long. I only realized that after I finished making the eyes... ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h03m31s698.png) I have never had high hopes for this one. Not every try has to be successful, sometimes you just do the best 4/10 (more like 2/20 in my case) you can and leave. And that's ok. That's what trying is all about. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h03m38s656.png) Tried to add some cute little detail with the plus and minus in the eyes, but I don't they are visible enough + the piece it's too great anyway. Maybe I will use it in a different art? ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h03m44s779.png) Not the best one I made, but it took me no time, so I count that as a win! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h04m02s124.png) Working with yellow is much harder. The "dark yellow" looks weird for me, like from a totally different pallet. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h04m59s409.png) Nothing usual, but solid for me. I was able to make them quickly and efficiently, hope this will leave me more to work on other things... like everything else that is lacking. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h05m30s424.png) Also, if you wonder why the shape of the head is the way it is: it was supposed to be a little tilted. No matter how many times I try, all of my characters just stare right into your soul. The part of the creator is in his every art I guess. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2025/11/vlcsnap-2025-11-22-20h06m20s065.png) At that point, I wasn't even bothered with making the hair properly. That's the beauty of Ide, I can try as hard or as little as my current strength allows. Thank you for reading. I have to admit, I'm happy for this post. Because it was a flop. But I tried, and will try again. Eventually I will get it. And you will too! I believe in you and see you next time!
