(Yes, I know his name has an accent in it... my keyboard won't make that letter.)
(Oh, and it's Karalee! *waves* Hi. 😁)
First order of business, find a suitable chibi base. I've been working on drawing humans, but the point of this series of portraits is conveying a likeness in chibi form, not human (or Hobbit) anatomy, so I'll still be using bases for these.
And after a whole page of creepiness (my sister loves making a Gollum voice to creep me out -- it's FREAKY ACCURATE 😬), I finally found ONE reference image of pre-Gollum Smeagol!
Now to begin with Hobbit ears... though at this point, he could just as easily be a little Spock, too. 😉 (Hmmmm, I should draw Star Trek chibis sometime....)
Now skip ahead LOTS to the point where I finally remembered to take a screenshot of my progress, and you'll find the finished sketch! (Oops. 😆)
This is done in the program called Procreate, with the brush called Reed. I was going to simply trace over these lines with a smooth outline, then get rid of the sketch, but something appealed to me about the rough style, so I took a thicker brush and added extra outlines for clarity, deciding to keep it all.
Add coloring, and TADAAA! Finished and adorable!

Sorry, buddy, I haven't got it! (Thank goodness. Let's keep you sweet-looking, please. 💜)
I hope you like it, Ja! 😀
Next week a VERY popular request will be filled -- Adam Young, AKA Owl City! Do you think I should draw him in this new sketchy style? Leave a comment telling me! 😊
Until next time, Jammers!
PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!

Yay for Smeagol!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so you don't actually have to draw the Avengers or Justice League, it was just an idea :P
As for the style, it's totally up to you. You have a special talent in drawing, and I can't wait to see more! <3

Awwww, thank you, Sugar! C: I really appreciate it!
DeleteI would have drawn the Avengers or the Justice League, they're both really cool groups! However, they are groups. XD That means they'd take forever to draw.
Maybe sometime, though! :D

OHHH KARA THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd YAAAAY ADAM YOUNG!!! I AM SO SO EXCITED!!! XD!
I actually really love the style you drew this in, although I love all your styles anyway! I think it'd be cool to draw Adam with it!
Oh, and by the way, if you're looking for a reference picture, he changes his hair sometimes, so some show him with his hair dyed really light blonde. His hair is brown again now, XDD!
I'M SO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDD!!!

Awesome!! :D I'm not a fan on long hair BUT YOU MADE IT LOOK AWESOME. XDDD Although, if I gave a quick look, it could look like a girl... an odd girl but a girl. XDDDD
ReplyDeleteBUT HOW DO YOU DRAW SO AMAZINGLY?!!!! TELL ME YOUR WISDOM, O MASTER OF ART! XD
And oooo! Adam's next! :D He's an awesome singer. XD And as Swirl said, DON'T DRAW HIM WITH BLOND HAIR. IT LOOKS BAD TO ME. XDDDD And this style looks awesome to me! :D
Hmmm... yeah, bit of an odd girl... it's a little difficult to differentiate between genders with chibis, just like it is with babies. With girls, I often add more eyelashes, but that's the end of the differences save clothes.
DeleteI WAS VERY BLESSED WITH THIS ONE, THAT IS HOW. XD I HAVE NO WISDOM TO GIVE U, I AM SORRY! (Seriously, VERY pleasantly surprised with how this turned out! O.o)
And yes, Adam next! XD He's such a popular request, I'm so glad so many people are excited about him!

Awesome!! I wanna get Procreate on my iPad cause it seems really good but it costs like 13$ :(
ReplyDeleteReally? o.o I thought it was just $6 when I bought it.
DeleteIt IS a really good program, I personally would say that it is worth even the $13. :) You could save up for it, or put it on your Christmas wishlist! I hope you get it someday! ;)

Well you are in the US and I am in Canada and the exchange rate is different XD
