My fanart of @lm_____ltm 's single "Criminal".
~SWIPE for the close up.
~Although a new taemin listener, i was introduced to his iconic song "Move" by twice's cover of it, and quickly became a fan. This song just clicked instantly to me, which is a bit rare cuz it takes a few listens usually, but the mood of the song, lyrics and the storytelling through the dance is super captivating, i'll be sure to dive deeper into his rich kpop history all in good time.
~It was also new and refreshing to have finally tackled a male kpop idol, and im pretty happy with it, not that i didn't know how to draw guys, just never wanted to force myself into it for the sake of it, so now i had a good reason. Definitely because of the dark intense lighting in the MV found this scene to have alot more contrast and harsh shadows, and as a result it came out alot more painterly than most of my stuff, but im happy with the look. Hope ya'll like it too. Process and swipable version coming soon!

LEVEL 2 EXERCISES: Animation no.14, "Getting up from a chair".
the further i go clearly the more fun and challenging these are getting, this one required me doing a few passes of just generic figure getting up from the chair to get an understanding of weight shift during the motion properly, and in the end i went with this kid using his phone for a tiny acting bit and then realistically getting up, pretty pleased with this.
few weeks back i decided upon disciplining myself when it comes to personal animation/art i started doing animation exercises from the website animator island : https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/?fbclid=IwAR0maMmXfjTRMX3Ka1V_0yaPZ4O8dNvXS6htTxpA0jJbADApnP_UbdY_lD8&v=3a52f3c22ed6, the exercises go from easy to difficult. So now i'll be doing new exercises from the website every few days and see where it takes me. This is all in hopes that soon i start an animation project for myself, a short one that is.

LEVEL 2 EXERCISES: Animation no.13, "Character jumping over a gap".
had to create a little hiker guy for this one, looking at this prompt this is what came naturally to mind, a hiker jumping over a gap in the mountain terrain somewhere, so had to look up some references off of shutterstock for motion and his design. Still did more than what was required but at this point i can't be asked. Onwards i move.

My process pictures of Seulrene's (both girls) drawing from my fanart of @redvelvet.smtown 's sub-unit song "Monster". Swipe for the pictures.
~Followed the same process as usual, took the drawing through the following stages :
1. Rough sketch
2. Lineart
3. Color
4. Lighting
5. details
~the initial sketch usually takes few attempts and a bit of tweaking/adjustments to look just right, lineart is fairly straightforward, with colors i always try to go for ambient colors, if the environment is already a dark indoors scene, no point in making the characters flat colors super bright, with lighting i focus on all sources of light, including main, ambient bounce lights and basic form shadows. And finally in the end comes all specular highlights, makeup values, reflections, light rays and dust particles.
~The clothing detail. Lots and lots of it, was very challenging but also fun to figure out, its definitely what brings this whole scene out to the viewer. Also can we appreciate the cinematography and shot composing here they did in the MV? the girl's hair makes a heart, i bet that was planned, so artsy and good X"O. So yes had to try some new stuff out to figure out the sparkly beads on her dress, broke it into layers and arranged them accordingly to how this would work in reality, had to paint her arm, then a translucent low opacity color, then beads on top, nothing revolutionary, just new for me. Fun thing about noisy details like this is you only have to keep track of the patterns from the reference to a certain extent, and its mostly brush strokes to create illusion of scattered noise, it goes for anything in art generally, but especially with small scattered noisy detail.

~So with this one it was a first where the subject is in contact with an actual background element, so here i had to draw in the bed, pillows, and all the drapery, nothing too different when it came to their rendering, actually the same process, but drawing those elements did bring a nice cohesive feel to the scene. Also in the original scene for this the lighting was so artistically done, it was tricky to go away from it and add imaginary lighting, so stuck pretty much with it, with very little differences here and there, was conflicted in the start but glad i went with what was already provided, they killed it with the lighting in the whole MV. Also please notice visible change in head size which i realized while doing lineart so changed there lol.

~Don't think there was anything new with this one really, the gun was a bit tricky to get right, so it feels somewhat solid and not soft or janky in any way. Oh and yes i did try and indicate a few more realistically loose strands of hair sticking out of her head, not the best result, but its a start.

FOCUS POST of both Irene and Seulgi ( Seulrene ) from my fanart of @redvelvet.smtown sub-unit's song "Monster". *Swipe for a closeup swipable version*
~Glad this is the last one i tackled. Its funny because the detail in this one makes it look like it took the longest but honestly working on two drawings before this really got me in the flow of things so this one actually took the shortest time to complete. Ofcourse it was challenging to properly treat the beads and details in Irene's dress. Had to break it down layer wise exactly how in reality cloth would fall into place over the body, so alot of fancy layering of arm, then a translucent layer of cloth, then beads, it was challenging but really fun and now i know how to tackle intricacies like this. The Background is also a swirling pattern of reflective surfaces so even this strokes give the impression of that. Probably my favorite from all three scenes, even though i love all of em equally :')). Hope y'all like it. Probably won't be tackling three scenes together anytime soon, or heck who knows just might it was time consuming though xD. Process coming soon!

~This is the second one i finished. And actually the first time probably where the subject was pretty much in contact with the background and surroundings, so i had to draw and render the BG on the same level of detail as the character unlike other times when its either less detailed or blurred. Was a little tricky to keep the lighting away from realistic in this one and still stylized and imaginative since the lights in the original scene were so deliberate and strong, so this ones a mix of pretty much following the actual scene lighting and very little imaginative lighting, tried to make up for it with the drawing itself though haha. The original scene was a piece of art though much like the entire song so just had to draw this scene. Hope y'all like it! Process coming soon!

~The first i took to completion from the 3. Had to do one drawing of them from this scene and outfit and also was looking for one nice face closeup scene and found this as the ideal one. The BG for this one came out slightly plainer than the other ones, perhaps i should have went a bit away from the actual MV itself and added elements on my own but at the same time it would've distracted from the main subject so it's alright. I added a good amount of strong backlight in this one where there wasn't exactly one and played around with dust particles. Hope y'all like it! Process coming soon!

~I know im over 2 months too late, been wanting to do this ever since the album came out, was doing alot of other stuff though and even tackling 3 scenes together was a big first time challenge took over 2 weeks to make this. Though i like taking my time and very happy with the result, most probably won't be tackling multiple scenes anytime soon again haha.
~SM made a great choice by creating a sub with them, this song's so good, one of their strongest velvet concepts yet, love the obvious creepy and horror concept, and don't get me started on choreo even, it was too nice.

LEVEL 2 EXERCISES: Animation no.12, "Change in Character emotion".
Good to be back on these. I first considered a realistic scenario for multiple emotions but soon realized its difficult for anyone to be in a situation to go from happy, to sad, to angry, so just decided to make her hit the expressions as if acting for an audition. So here i present the little actress presenting 3 different simple emotions, with fun little hair overshoots and followthroughs.
few weeks back i decided upon disciplining myself when it comes to personal animation/art i started doing animation exercises from the website animator island : https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/?fbclid=IwAR13pD0_Y8bitSnQgQU20F9BycV34wu_y-NY_LvRXlRMnNgk_NMPqFQD5lg&v=3a52f3c22ed6, the exercises go from easy to difficult.

Here's the process of my most recent fanart of @twicetagram 's song "More and More". Since my process is the same usually for all of my rendered pieces, i'll be discussing the additional steps i take with each piece as i better understand and discover rendering, and things unique to this piece. ~Disclaimer : Long post, i go into detail about everything i think about while making this piece. Swipe for all the pictures.
1. One thing i did right away was make the nose super angular on Dahyun ( center girl ), and the rest of the drawing was fairly i'd say safe and not as caricatured, but still being stubborn with the fact that i wanted to stay as much stylized as i can while nailing resemblance, i went forward with this.
2. Only new thing i did with this piece is since i had three different people here, i changed my lineart color for each of them matching roughly their hair colors.
3. Flat colors come in. important thing i keep in mind now is flats have to match the ambient light intensity, further shadows and lights will come in later, so no point in making flats super bright in a mostly covered environment. Also as you can see, i gave in to a more appealing yet still stylized nose for her, not an extremely exaggerated one.
4. Here comes the lighting. Its three main things. Direct light, Ambient/bounce light, and form shadows. All shadows are to separate overlapping shapes from each other. The main direct light source in this case was from Top being cast by the sun. and all soft shades of blue, pink, purple are lights bouncing around from different sources and objects onto our subjects, they're amazing to bring out the forms and planes in each shape.
5. And now comes all the details. I broke this down into a couple things. Specular highlights, makeup (which includes all eye details, blush, lips details etc), core shadows, light rays, dust particles. i especially wanted to add visible rays of sunlight poking through the environment hitting the direct light areas. And finally i brought back dust particles something i used to do long ago, felt like this one really needed it. .

~Please swipe for the closeups! Insta crop super annoying but since i went with the wide crop no other way :/ .
~Chose one of my favourite stills from the MV. Honestly even though not like this is my first comeback from them but still don't remember waiting for any comeback quite like this one, and ofcourse @jypentertainment and the girls didn't disappoint. The song first off is an absolute summer banger, its everything you'd want from a song and there's just something there for everyone to enjoy. Amazing chorus, killer dance break, rap came in real hard, choreo pretty much already ingrained in my brain, and veryy fare line distribution tbh with nine members. Also Mina is back like fully doing promotional stuff aswell so proud X"O. .
~Anyways with the piece i played around with the lighting here and there, first time drawing 3 characters with this level of rendering, definitely was a challenge but super fun and very very satisfying to learn something new with each piece. Gonna upload a closeup swipable post and process real soon!

What if one day Brown went missing?
Can you imagine the world without the Brown?
I really love from the first time @bywhitneygeathers sent me the script. The story is so powerful and it blew my mind. I'm so happy she chose me to illustrate this book.
To be honest, working on this book was so challenging because I couldn't use Brown at all! I was confused how to pick colors since I love to use brown a lot. 😅
So glad I managed it well!

Here's a breakdown of my latest drawing, here's roughly the stages i take it through :
1. Rough
2. Lineart
3. Flats
4. Lighting ( Includes first shadow and light passes )
5. Rendering. ( Includes further lighting passes, speculars and effects )
This piece like any other followed pretty much the same process as my usual one, i try and experiment more with rendering and to bring out realistic lighting and colors with each piece as i progress, the bigger difference in this piece from the rest is i tried a core shadow ( The bright red border lines along the shadow ) for the first time just observing other artist's works ). My terminology and application of painting techniques is far from good right now but the next goal is definitely to look up color and lighting resources and practicing that.

Here's the process of my @chungha_official 's "Stay tonight" fanart. Pretty much went through my usual process :
1. With the rough i like to spend time getting the resemblance down of anyone's fanart i'm drawing, so what we see here wasn't the first but like the third attempt and after constant adjustments and tweaks, i even did some thumbnail sized drawings on the side of her face from other references just to figure out what makes her face unique.
2. Next comes lineart, i make the brush slightly smaller and go over the entire thing trying not to figure stuff out still rather making what i had laid down clearer and bringing out the prettiness of the drawing, keeping the silhouette of the drawing nice and thick while detailed lines pretty much tapered.
3. Pass 3 is laying down the flats. In painting terms this means the base layer of our piece on which we're gonna build up the details. As my reference had her pretty much in the dark against the main light, i made sure my flats already served pretty much as the shadow, without much need of adding heavy shadows later on, this also adds nicely to the point of shadows having an ambient color, and not just being darker values of the base color.
4. Here's when i lay down the main direct light, coming from the back right, almost serving as a rim light, a pink ambient bounce light coming from the bottom left, and very light form shadows. Without adding these shadows it'll be hard to differentiate between her neck and face's depth perception and her contact with the wall, but they're still not overpowering.
5. And the details in the end include specular highlights on all reflective surfaces, bouncing off the jewelry, the eyes, the hair, the nails. Also added some environmental lighting effects like soft light bouncing off the hair, gradients in the background for a more spread out light, very light bokeh effects etc. Swipe for the pictures!
