I decided to draw a cartoon girl.
Sketch and Pose
Details and Accessories
Every element adds personality. I include utility belts, spiked bracelets, hoop earrings, and sometimes a speech bubble with something like “BOOM!” These aren’t just decorations—they’re emotional accents that amplify the vibe.
The weapon is a story in itself. I love drawing stylized, almost magical shapes—crescent blades, glowing edges, strange curves. It has to feel like part of the character, not just something they’re holding.
Color and Light
Color is an accent. I use it sparingly—pink for the weapon, blue for the soles, a bit of light in the background. It helps highlight key elements and set the mood. I’m not chasing realism—I care more about expressiveness.
Sometimes I leave parts of the drawing in pencil to preserve texture. It creates contrast between raw and refined, between sketch and sorcery.
Atmosphere and Background
Once the core is done, I build the atmosphere—floating shards, bursts of energy, a backdrop. It might be bright pink, a surreal landscape, or just a dynamic white space. The goal is to make the character breathe, to feel like they belong to a world—not just a pose.
If my work inspires someone—that means I’m doing it right.
