Thank you for the kind words and for playing the game!
Right now I am focusing on optimizing my workflow and doing some refactoring so future updates can be bigger and more consistent. I am also aware of the main character design discussion and it is something I am keeping in mind. I will try to address it in a way that makes sense for the project.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the detailed feedback... I really appreciate it! ~ 💖 If you ever have the time and notice where exactly the typos are, screenshots or short quotes would help me a lot.
In any case, thank you for playing my game and for such a positive and encouraging review!
First of all, patience. Learning how to draw takes time, that is completely normal :3
If redrawing characters feels hard right now, I would suggest starting without color. Try to focus on shapes using sketches or simple black and white drawings. For inspiration, you can look at the works of Krekk0v and Tonka_Kryga. Also, try focusing on just one body part at first. Many people start with faces, since they are usually the most appealing and expressive part.
This is not always recommended, but I personally think it helps a lot. Try copying artworks you like as close to 1 to 1 as possible. The important part is to never claim those works as your own and always treat them as practice only. This helps build hand control, line confidence, and understanding of why an artist uses certain techniques.
Do not feel bad about not being able to draw characters from imagination. In reality, most artists rely on references, often multiple ones. Being able to draw absolutely everything from memory is not realistic. Looking at other artists’ work or real life references is a normal and important part of the process.
My main advice is simple. Do not give up, do not be too hard on yourself if things do not work out right away, and always remember that drawing should be something you enjoy.
Thank you! I don't really know what to advice really. I think you could start with trying to learn basics from someone you really like in terms of style and just sketch dump everything until forms and volume are OK. Then proceed to render part :3
It’s all good since we welcome different opinions here, and no one gets judged for their preferences... I’m actually glad you shared your thoughts, and even more glad you came back to add how your perspective changed a bit 😊
Honest and constructive feedback is always a good thing.
