An attempt in sketching Yanfei’s entire splash art. A speech bubble reads, “Top Legal Expert of Liyue: that’s me, Yanfei!” with a clip art of a scale.

Day 13 through Day 16

#yanfei

Practiced Yanfei’s face a la iterarive drawing.

Day 12

#yanfei

Today, Hu Tao’s eyes were the main subject of practice. Comparing it to Yanfei’s eyes, I had more confidence with Yanfei’s than with Hu Tao’s. The last pair features Hu Tao’s eye having Naruto’s Itachi’s Amaterasu with a chibi head of Yanfei getting shocked at it.

Day 11

#hutao

Yanfei’s eyes were the main practice target today, with 21 pairs drawn. With iterative drawing, I manage to get a feel on how the main aspects of Yanfei’s eyes: droopy and with “resting-determined eyebrows”. The one with three stars seem to be the closest one out of all 21 pairs to how Yanfei’s eyes should look like, at least while facing front.

Day 10

#yanfei

After watching Sycra’s “Iterative Drawing” vid, I’ve decided to do just that, in hopes of being efficient in achieving the results I want to see the soonest. Day 9 consisted of me practicing Yanfei’s and Hu Tao’s eyes a la iterative drawing. I’ve decided to do iterative drawing for the next days of practice. The last pairs of eyes was me fooling around by adding the Sharingan to Hu Tao’s eyes.

Day 9

Eye practices for the following characters (top to bottom): - Yanfei’s droopy eyes - Hu Tao’s plum blossom-pupiled eyes - Qiqi’s rather vertically oblong-like eyes My notes express how I need/could try to draw both eyes at the same time (as opposed to focusing on one at a time), getting a sense of symmetry, the space between both eyes equaling to one eye length, maintaining accuracy (to the reference material), and learning from YouTuber Sycra’s “Iterative Drawing”.

Day 8

#yanfei #hutao #qiqi

Baize Tao is a fanon concept by MedlowDown, wherein Hu Tao is envisioned to have adeptal heritage and features within her, based on the mythical creature, the Baize. Prominent features include her dark and slightly wavy horns and tails (not shown). Originally, her sclerae were white, but this rendition envisions her sclerae as black. Baize Tao wipes off some blood off her lips, while saying, “Don’t touch her…” with a pair of scales (referring to Yanfei) right next to the text in the speech bubble. The notes on the left remind me to take note of drawing proprtions, eye practice, line-drawing confidence, and cross-hatching.

Day 7

Day 6 involves a sketch of Qiqi smiling with closed eyes while saying “Hu Tao-jiejie! Yanfei-jiejie”, a ghost representative of Hu Tao (similar to the ghosts she summons), a small xiezhi deer representative of Yanfei, a freaky chibi head of Yanfei with a long tongue out and lolling, a discombobulated yet interested Hu Tao with her eyes cartoonishly poking towards Yanfei, and my notes indicating the proportions of Qiqi’s head, the aforementioned characters’ ornaments, and the need to understand proportions and the sense of 3D. The references used here were from various images sourced from Pinterest, whose original artist may be searchable through a reverse image search.

Day 6

#qiqi #七七 #yanfei #烟绯 #hutao #胡桃

Day 5 really focused on three-point perspective practices. Ten cuboids (five above and five below the horizon) of varying sizes sketched from the intersection of four different points of origin were produced. My notes stressed how I needed to have a sense of “3D”, as I believed it was critical in drawing.

Day 5

Days 3-4 just consisted of practice sketches. Mainly me drawing cylinders and practicing point-perspectives. Day 3 produced 3D shapes, specifically cylinders and cuboids. Day 4 focused on practicing three-point perspective that resulted in two rectangles above and below.

Days 3-4

A trial sketch of Hu Tao with all my skill so far poured out. Notes are written in English and Mandarin, detailing the areas I have to improve on, mainly: - facial proportions - body parts’ relative proportions - line confidence

Day 2

#hutao #胡桃

It’s been a long plan that was inspired by friends, Pewds, and certain goals in life, plus I do wanna sharpen my drawing skills.

Also, the refs I use are mainly from DragaliaArchive, random Pinterest photos, Google Photos, and YouTube videos. I can’t list them all though 😅 but I’ll try provide!

Day 1

#yanfei #煙緋 #烟绯

That said, I’ll be doing a “Draw for 365 Days” similar to PewDiePie, see where this takes me.

On second thought, I’ll retire a number of years from now.

"Here lies Hu Tao.
Fear no death. Embodied the very essence of death. Go forth and descend. Reborn from your cocoon and guide those to a new cycle.

My condolences to you, and welcome to Grim Hollow."

Reaper AU #yantao #hutao

I’ll be uploading a link for access to anyone who’d like to access my writings for whatever purposes they’d like. It’d be sad to see all those WIPs collect virtual dust 😅

Retiring soon.

Ice Cream is the answer.
#yantao #hufei

First time actually finishing something in IbisPaint, and I know for sure I need more practice and inspirations.
