Messing about with styles again

So the last few days I've really gotten into trying to draw more styles, and since I pretty much always use teenage girls as a style base to get the main idea down, it's mostly gonna be females in this post.

I really like the designs at the bottom, they seem so much more lively with more personality than the other sketches (although I do like most of those, too). I wanted to experiment more with proportions.

And I got this. Well, these. It's the same character but with different clothes. I'm VERY proud of how this turned out, and I'd love to try working with this style some more, maybe making a project of it sometime :)


In other news, I finally started a portfolio using deviantART's new system. Most of it's anime so far, but that's because I'm working on something good enough to post in the other sections.

You can view it here.

Just remember it's still in progress.

Light and Colour

So, we were asked to take a photo of something that screamed light and colour. I was tempted to draw a pic of a guy screaming 'light and colour', but that seemed a bit too literal.

Anyway, to me, nothing screams light and colour like using my phone to take a photo of Nottingham at night when everyone's leaving.

My phone over emphasises any light it finds, so the effect looks amazing! I love how it's shining warm colours compared to everything else being so dark and desaturated around it. It looks like an explosion of light to me, which is why I took so many pics like this XD This one was the best tho'.
