I'm trying out a bunch of different styles and compositions for how I draw humans and it's goin pretty good, which scares me. I'm using Ishmael and Orphos as my guinea pigs because they look fairly different, so it's good to see what works out universally and what doesn't

I think I was trying to go too realistic before, which is not in my wheelhouse as all. I'm quite enjoying the loose, cartoony style I'm developing. A lot of people here have a very anime-like art style and mine's turning out to be more funky and stylized, but I still got the crazy poofy hair. By stylized, everyone's got like four fingers rn and noses are ??? Kinda just a couple lines haphazardly arranged into some kind of recognizeable shape and in other versions there's no nose at all

It's also giving me a chance to see my characters and futz around with their appearance a little bit. I've been playing around with giving Orph more facial scars and how Ishmael's poncho looks like (ponchos are stupidly hard to figure out and I wasn't able to use a reference the first couple times I did it so it was even worse)

Still not ready to share it though, maybe later. It's getting there, though. I am in no way an expert in anatomy and I'm kind of ripping directly from how I draw animals with minor adjustments, so things still look a little funky. Might digitalize a couple of my doodles to post because rn they're on a series of papers across multiple classes
