Daily Doodle: Yep. This is #365. I had always wanted to celebrate it, and re-evaluate once I hit this marker to see if I should start doing something different. But, true story, I am too tired to celebrate or make decisions (I fell asleep promptly upon coming home from work) so! All that business for later. For now, a quick grin with a little perspective-face practice thrown in.
Time: 5 mins?

Daily Doodle: a quick grin )
Daily Doodle: I have a lot of trouble with Sokka, and I think this is the best I've done of him. Simple, but right now, until I'm done being sick — that is fine =|
Time: 5-10 mins

Daily Doodle: Avatar: TLA - Sokka is skeptical )
Daily Doodle: Something very quick and unfocused, because! Because being sick has wonked my sleeping up right proper and is also just plain exhausting.
Time: 1-2 mins

Daily Doodle: quick face )
Daily Doodle: Guys, I'm sorry, I will try to respond to comments as soon as I can but I'm pretty impressively sick right now/still and I had one of the worse days so far so! Just a super quick somewhat stylized eye.
Time: 2-3 mins

Daily Doodle: Eye )
@[livejournal.com profile] ff_press: Not this time, thank you! =D

Daily Doodle: It's the undersketch for what was supposed to be a Wakka portrait, but after two days of being in-pain sick, and too little sleep last night because of it and likely the same again tonight, once the portrait started derailing I pretty much decided I'd liked the undersketch. So. I guess here it is. Wakka deserves more love, and deserves better, but I am so, so tired. Make it up to you later, Wakka.
Backdated 1 hour
Time: less than 30 seconds. Oh, undersketches.

@[livejournal.com profile] ff_press: [FFIV] [personal profile] justira: Rydia portrait (G)

Daily Doodle: Time for a ladyperson! I really didn't base this very much on her FFIV:DS renders — those didn't seem distinctive enough to me. In fact, this isn't really based on anything. (I really did mean for her hair to actually be a touch messy/wild, not just wavy.) I tried to do a few things (quietly) here — basically more room for certain traits than really expressing them. Room for sadness around her eyes, room for fierceness in her brows, room for mischief in her mouth. I'm sure that sounds quite pretentious, but I had fun trying to sneak the touches in. Also, I was quite sick today! So this felt nice after that.
Time: 30-40 mins

Daily Doodle: Something of a given, considering yesterday's subject. I only got about two hours of sleep last night (straight to bed from here, tonight), so I'm pretty tired and muzzy and couldn't really get this where I wanted it. But I hope I managed to achieve both family resemblance and individuality.
Time: 30 mins?

Daily Doodle: Thank you all for your awesome feedback on Larsa! Really helping me figure this likeness business out =D

Today! Today I decided to torture myself. I am actually really, really terrible at getting an exact likeness out of my head and into a drawing (read: look forward to more attempts). And I don't think I've ever before attempted a realistic-ish version of an established character that doesn't already have a realistic-ish render or something like. So this was an adventure. This doesn't really look like I imagine him in my head, but I'm hoping it's at least identifiable.

I'm putting up both versions, just for fun. Please feel free to share your own interpretations and/or make suggestions! =D Thanks to [personal profile] lassarina for catching a problem and for suggestions after my first version!
Time: ~30 mins for the first version, then about 3-4 mins of adjustments

@[livejournal.com profile] ff_press: [FFXII] [personal profile] justira: Larsa portrait (G)

Daily Doodle: OKAY. I have always found Larsa EXCEEDINGLY difficult. Exceedingly. What I sacrificed in time on this one, well... I'm not sure the likeness makes up for it, but it sure as diddly is the best I've done for him so far. Suggestions on the likeness welcome — I know the lighting/shading is a little funky, and suggestions there are always appreciated as well, but I can generally figure that out if I work at it hard enough, while the secrets of likeness just plain elude me. Anyway. Here he is, my favourite 12-year-old in the universe. (Boy am I having fun trying to write him in the ridiculously political sequel to Alchemies...)
Time: 40-50 mins

@[livejournal.com profile] ff_press: [FFXII:OGC] [personal profile] justira: Vaan portrait (G)

Daily Doodle: Quickie portrait. I must have gotten quite a bit faster — and maybe a little better? I drew him rather surly, but it's a much closer resemblance in that little time than I've manged before, I think... who knew drawing every day for a year would work >.>

... actually, holy crap guys. It HAS been a year, almost! This is doodle #354, I think. Dang.
Time: ~15 mins

Daily Doodle: [Daily Doodle]  )
Daily Doodle: Giving it a shot. Plus it's faster. Man, getting one hour of sleep — why, insomnia, why XD
Time: 5 mins

Daily Doodle: Slightly more cartoony )
Daily Doodle: Jeezy creezy, errands done. Now, hopefully, the rest of the weekend I get to actually do things I owe/am supposed to be doing effing christ.
Time: 8 mins

Daily Doodle: Kid Again )
Daily Doodle: I never draw children — I guess out of complete lack of real-life interest — but that's no excuse, so. A shot at practice. Also, I woke up exhausted! After a full night's sleep. It was pretty great XD
Time: 8 mins?

Daily Doodle: Baby )
