The Aarons WIP
WIP of the Aaron Z. and Aaron T. fanart (from Turning Red's 4*Town)
Listened to way too much 4*town!
At first there was a completely different Aaron Z because I wasn't sure where the picture was going.
Eventually I decided i was ONLY going to have the Aarons in the picture, so I changed the drawing to make it seem like they were posing together. I do most of my sketching with CSP's default "pencil -- Real pencil" tool. I wouldn't say that it acts much like a real pencil hahaha.
I used the same pencil to "ink" it too. I like that it's pretty forgiving compared to a hard ink line.
I duplicated the "inks" and then added some thicker parts and shadows.
I was convinced I was going to crop the picture so I didn't even bother flatting AZ's boxers. Though it's funny to think about whether he'd ever wear such colourful undergarments (my feeling is, no). I eyedroppered these flat colours from the promo art, but wanted to draw them in tank tops!!!
I'm on a neverending quest to figure out how to colour...smarter...as in...less is more?? I'm back with garish colours!
For shading I tried to use blue shadows and orange highlights, because those colours are part of their logo (and complementary) but after making up this accidental chaotic radial background, I ended up with a 3rd red light source. The dappled light is the default CSP "decoration -- effect -- dappled light" brush.
In the final picture, I put sparkles in their eyes and around AZ's earring ~kira kira~!
My headcanon is that AZ gets hit in the face by AT's undone overall strap when they're rehearsing/dancing. I also wonder if AT's overalls fall off by accident a lot because only one strap is holding up all this fabric...surely when you're dancing the danger rises?!
I ended up drawing the rest of them...
Fake single cover hahaha...
Today's music post: In honour of boyband music, I dug into my past and remembered so much amazing music that I hadn't thought about in decades. I suppose many of these groups are MANbands rather than BOYbands. Group? R&B group? Please appreciate Az Yet's cover of Chicago's Hard to Say I'm Sorry. THIS CIRCULAR FORMATION DANCING. ACAPELLA HARMONIES...! MATCHING OUTFITS.
Aaah the colors in the fake single cover are so pretty!! (I love orange/pink colors on anything. XD) The dappled light brush looks also very fancy.
I use pencil or chalk-like brushes for outlining, too, because they're forgiving. xD But I think they also look very nice because they're a bit more organic to me than ink brushes. Clever idea with doubling the ink-layer!
Thank you!! The dappled light is 100% default but I agree that it makes things feel very fancy~
