It's my niece's 2nd birthday today! I'm so glad she's a Bluey fan.

Tried using a harder brush for the lineart today, but then I was messing with the blending modes on PS and really liked how some of the linework looked on soft light

You got the proportions spot on! Baby anatomy is so tough! I always feel like I make the forehead too small or the head too big. So clean too!

u/JJ_animates 50 / 50 19d ago

It really is, any anatomy is hard but babies are so easy to make look wrong, even in caricature. I heard the advice that if you use many lines then it will age a character so I tried my best not to overwork any part. I like the eye/nose area I did here, but I got lost on the ear, I didn't know how to make that part cute. Thanks so much for the kinds words! reference image here for anyone curious

Interesting! Your rendering makes the baby look even younger. I usually have the opposite problem. That’s a great tip about the lines/overworking

Had seen a video about a toddler's answer to the trolley problem so wanted to sketch a giant cute baby playing with it's human toys, but the baby didn't turn out even 1% cute.

It looks so fuzzy! Love the texture.

Thanks :) My boys had one of these, I can still hear the soft rattle

That's right, it goes in the square hole!

a fellow pixel artist! i love the choice of colors, its very nice on the eyes, but i noticed that the shadows are inconsistent (for example in the holes in the left side we should see the darker brown shade)

2

u/3982AndAHalf 0 / 3 19d ago

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I was using an 8 color pallete as a challenge to myself, and I definitely haven't been doing pixel art long enough to know how to make that work fully. I'm planning to return to a bunch of my stuff in about a month to see what I can improve

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 19d ago

I love these toys!

I was trying to make it look like a baby with a plush samus ball. Ehh I tried

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 19d ago

Love the ball!

Ugh it was so dreadfully hot yesterday, and is supposed to be even hotter today! ;_; I managed a quick sketch. This is Kolten Himmel as a child, playing with his favorite toy, building blocks. Why the hanukkiah? While being babysat by his father's landlady he likes to stare at the flames but not touch. So in a way it's sort of a toy for him.

I forgot to give him pupils. Anyway it's good the next theme involves stick figures, I don't know how I'll handle the heat later. ;_;

Off-topic, Doggust Day 9: American Bully. I chose the standard form, and although the breed standard allows it, I'm not drawing dogs with cropped ears.

u/AughtNaughtCreator 747 / 747 19d ago

Lovely shading :) All your doggos are so good I'd expect to see them as illustrations in a book :)

1

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 19d ago

Thanks! All I see are the flaws lol. I feel like I'm getting a handle on their faces, and I've done some work with legs and feet, and I'm still working out how to show weight, especially in the legs and shoulders.

u/anislandinmyheart 0 / 477 11d ago

He looks like his waggy tail will lift him up like a chopper! Beautiful light and shadows

1

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 11d ago

Thank you! I know people are often wary of these dogs but they're good dogs.

Misremembered the prompt as a children's toy and it's super hot here so drew a pool - prob not the best toy for a baby lol

1

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 19d ago

There's a toy in the pool so it counts lol. Love the shading on the pool.
