☆ Sapphy's attempt at art .。*゚+.*.。(❁´◡`❁)。.。:+* (Updated Februari 6 2021)
 
As the title states, I've picked up digital art again after 8 years and am trying to improve and showcase my attempts. Hopefully so others and myself can watch me improve and possibly give me pointers?

The fact your this good after only just coming back to art is mildly infuriating. Your linework, colour and shading are all really good, especially on Seraphina's ribbon.

I think that you should possibly have tried doing some blending with Pichu's apple instead of doing the hard divide between the red and yellow. It would make it feel more like a fruit than something painted on. Try playing around a bit with transparency and glow dodge on your highlights too.

Some of the creases on Murk's comm are a bit much too. Primarily the one across his chest, it feels like it shouldn't be there for the position he's in

Overall though, you're doing a fantastic job.

I already responded to you on discord haha but Thank you <3 I showed you the reason the "apple" was drawn the way it was because it's actually a Leppa berry :)

I kept being dissatisfied with Murk's comm but the reason might be because of the creases you mention so thank for pointing that out.

Oooh sapphy, you're so good! I especially love the special Rowlet 😍 looks like it comes straight out of official media!

Ahhhh thank you so much 😍<3

I'm tbh really proud on that Pichu as it was one of my first drawings in 8 years <3 I'm glad you like it 😍

Also made another new one!

Dragonair with flowers <3

Nina September 24th, 2020 9:31 PM

This work is lovely! People mistake how hard it is to get some really good looking flowers in stuff! Your choice of blue roses to go with the yellow parts really is quite good.

Thank you <3 The blue roses were actually supposed to be a reference to blue dragonair :D I'm recreating the same piece with a blue dragonair instead and that one has pink flowers as a reference!

Sapphire Rose October 4th, 2020 2:48 PM

I made something to celebrate Halloween this year <3 I'm so happy I finally get to join the seasonal drawings events as an artist. I always missed out on those.

Halloween Bulbasaur

Nina October 6th, 2020 8:01 PM

I really like this! The pose and expression of the bulbasaur is very cute! A pumpkin bulba is such a good idea

Sapphire Rose October 12th, 2020 3:03 PM

Made a Pikachu inspired by one of the Pikachu plushies I own since 2018 <3

Happy Pikachu

xxReshiramxx October 14th, 2020 1:23 PM

The coloring and shading on these is amazing. I really like how you added the flowers on Pikachu's ears and back. The pumpkin on Bulbasaur's back is also a really stand out idea. Backgrounds on these images would really make these idea's even pop more so. Such as the Bulbasaur in a forest or maybe even a graveyard for a Halloween feel.

Thank you for the feedback <3

I'm still practicing on background so for now I try to give them simple background that compliment them c: I do intend to give them more detailed background at some point!

Sapphire Rose October 18th, 2020 11:03 PM

New piece in which I practiced shadows and lights and background drop + color dodge/multiply:

Aries in the stars

Sapphire Rose October 24th, 2020 1:58 PM

Halloween Charmander <3 This one took me super long but I'm happy with the results. I feel like it couldn've been done better so please give me tips on how to improve!


Caite-chan October 24th, 2020 3:32 PM

I love your Charmander.....its adorable. The costume is simple yet still cute.

You have a cute artstyle there! I love the smooth, coloured outlines that gives your drawings a much more softer feel to them as well as the shading looking softer. Looking forward to seeing more of your works!

Finished a commission for Stinging Bea/Alby! It's her OC from Pokémon Spear in a dancing outfit she will use for one of the contests <3


Sapphire Rose November 26th, 2020 11:30 AM

Made fanart of the fat cat mount from FFXIV <3 I absolutely adore that MMO!

Fat cat mount and Fat cat minion

I've said it already, but you're getting so good at small details.

I tried a new thing with Pokémon and background to force myself practice with backdrops!

Mudkip!

Lordecoxinha February 6th, 2021 6:28 PM

Wow, you really nailed that underwater scene! Love the colors and the lighting, but the "white things I have no idea how to name" (the surface vision?) are truly the cherry on top, I love how they blend just right with the sunlight!

Also, the bubbles look so nice, how did you achieve that?

Ah thank you so much ♡ I really enjoyed making these backgrounds so I will make them a lot more c:

The bubbles are just a stamp brush that I have unfortunately </3 I could've made them by hand but it took super long so I just... stamped away 😂

Working smart, I like that!

I forgot to mention, but I also love the texture on those rocks! I never know when to stop adding texture and tend to overdo it, so I can definitely learn from this piece.

Can you share some of your works? It's interesting to have a look at!

Thanks <3 I did a bit more texture on my recent pieces because it still felt a bit empty :3

I love the environment on the first one holy cow! I really enjoy your style as well. Your backgrounds and shading are lovely <3
