I made a little timeline of how I used to draw Gabe, Stefan, and Noland a couple nights ago, because I was avoiding doing homework. -u-b HAVE A GANDER, IF YOU LIKE...
YEP.
Gabe's shirt in that 2010 pic cracks me up, it's so lame. Speaking of 2010 Gabe, when I first made Gabe, I wasn't expecting to draw him with a beard very often... it was supposed to be a once in a while thing, haha. xD; These days I get confused if I see Gabe without his beard, haha. :V
Stefan hasn't really changed much, over the years... I started drawing his hair a little differently in 2012, and also learned how to draw suits that year, so 2012 onward he looks roughly the same as he always has. xD; I'm kind of stubborn with character designs, I don't like to change them too much...
Noland's timeline looks like a progression chart for the size of his eyebrows. (??)
Between Stefan, Gabe and Noland, I think Noland has changed the most in design even though I've only had him since 2013. :V It'll be his "2nd birthday" in a couple months, actually...!
I always intended for Noland to be a little bigger than some of my other characters, but I think originally he was supposed to be more muscular and mature looking. IDK HOW HE TURNED INTO A BLOB OF CUTE, IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENED... I probably need to tone down how cutesy I draw Noland, in fact;;; I'm still working on his design, it's not 100% there yet. I actually still rather like that sketch from 2013/2014, and in some ways that's what I imagine when I think "Noland."
Another thing that's given me the most difficulty with Noland is his hair. ;0; I think I can finally almost draw it...??? Idk it kind of looks like a hilarious curly blob these days, but oh well. Noland's hair has this weird special place in my heart, though... he was the first character that I decided to give short hair. 8D SHORT HAIR USED TO BE REALLY HARD FOR ME TO DRAW, OKAY, DON'T BOTHER ME.
Anyways, yeah. Also, I made a comparison of how I used to draw kissing to how I draw kissing now... again, to avoid doing work:
The images on the right are from this kiss meme I did in 2012. This actually really surprises me because I feel like 2012 wasn't really all that long ago...!!! But I guess it was actually 3 years ago. I drew that kiss meme around this time of the year, in fact.
A random factoid about me is that I used to have this "kissing page" in one of my sketchbooks, where I'd practice drawing kissing and add to it every year or so. I stopped around 2012 or early 2013, but yeah. It's been interesting to see how I've changed the way I draw profiles and kissing. :M
OKAY, gotta cut these footnotes (?) short and get to class now. THANKS FOR VIEWING!
