By request: Pac-Man in 30 minutes. What should I draw next?
@SplashJackson@lemmy.ca, if you’re out there, this one is for you! I had a lot of fun with this one. I may just slap some polish on it and make a sticker.
My thought was the blocky connector was on the other side and out of site, but you’re right.
I use Clip Studio Paint on a Microsoft Surface. I do work in layers. In this one, I just had one layer for the line art then one layer for each of the two tones which are just black set at 40% and 60% opacity.
What are the boundaries or guidelines for what you can be asked to draw next?
Can I just say something like "Give me a 7 second horse" or "give me a 20 minute map of the world, from memory", or are you specifically looking at computer game characters etc?
No real boundaries or guidelines. I like taking requests because I like making connections with people and it gives me a chance to draw something I otherwise might not have drawn on my own. The only real guideline I have is to be concise. I’m going to gravitate towards the suggestions that I think I can put a fun spin on, so if there’s a ton of detail in the request, it might land low on my list of priorities.
As far as time goes, I’ll usually put in as much time as I think the things needs, although something like drawing a map of the world from memory in 20 mins would be fun, so I’m open to that as well.
So if you have any suggestions, I’d love to see them!
