Sideblog for @joeb91 for posting art as I try to learn how to draw

Decided to make a side blog

Over the last few months I’ve gotten really into tumblr, I love seeing all the cool art people share from different franchises I’m into.

I have also been trying to learn how to draw, just as a fun little hobby. I got into it in 2018, but got frustrated in 2020 and ended up taking a break for a couple years. Now I’m getting back into it. I decided that this would also be a nice place to post some of the stuff I was happy enough with to share as well. Its a nice way for me to look back at the progress I’ve made from the beginning until now.

I’m not really trying to build an audience on here, but if anyone likes anything I share on here or on my main blog ( @joeb91 ), thank you! I appreciate it. Everything I share on here is pretty much just because I enjoy it, and engagement I get is just a bonus.

I haven't drawn anything I can share on here in a while.

Most of what I have made lately is stuff I redrew as gifts for a friend that does some modeling that isn't exactly safe for Tumblr. And I am really happy with how they turned out, they have been great coloring practice.

But I also don't want to get flagged by the Tumblr NSFW filter too, even if other people post lewder things.

Something of my V that I made by trying to draw over a screenshot from the game.

Streetkid V hanging out on her girlfriend Judy's apartment rooftop.

My console is hooked up to an older TV, so I couldn't get the most hi-res screenshot, but I'm happy with how she turned out.

And below is a bunch of the screenshots I took before realizing none of them would be big enough for me to feel comfortable trying to get some of the details right drawing over them.

One of my best friends who does some modeling/cosplay stuff got me into Death Note a couple years ago, so I made this redraw of a Misa cosplay she did last Halloween as a gift for her! 🖤

I'm interpreting the pose as Misa trying to be seductive for Light. But Light is still sitting at his desk obsessively thinking of L instead!

I spent more time on this than probably anything I've ever drawn on the computer, and I'm proud of how the coloring for the skirt part turned out. I still have A LOT to learn about art, but I'm happy with this.

I also NEVER want to draw fishnets again after how long it took doing all those little circles with a mouse... 😵‍💫

Another attempt from playing around on the computer and drawing over cosplay pictures I liked.

Here is one using one of my favorite silly Makoto cosplay photos!

Original photo below:

One of my best friends birthday is today, so a couple weeks ago I decided to draw something for her. Tried something different and traced a picture she took recently on my computer screen and this is what I ended up with.

Happy birthday Skye! 🩷💙

Something I've been playing around with lately is drawing over other pictures as a way of practicing and trying to get better with my computer art program, so here is something of one of my favorite 2B cosplay photos!

Blindfolded version too as a bonus.

It was a bit of a pain trying to do line everything out because every copy of this picture I could find had so much JPG crunchiness and it just made everything blend together even more when I tried to zoom in. But it was still fun to make.

Original cosplay photo below.

I've been thinking of playing around with drawing over other pictures, to test out different things with the art program on my computer, and because honestly I can get pretty stressed out trying to draw stuff with pencils, so this is something easier to mess around with and practice different things I wanted to try out. Maybe try to learn how to get better at shading with these things?

So, here is an old picture of my cat I drew on top of. Didn't spend a lot of time on it, just a quick practice doodle.

Original picture below.

Happy birthday to Makoto Niijima, my favorite character from Persona 5!

Also did one of these last year, and wanted to try again to see how it'd if I tried out a couple of little things I wanted to adjust with the art style I've been using. I still have a lot to learn, and trying to figure out what feels comfortable for me.

A couple things I want to go back and fix, but otherwise, happy with it.

I have felt too creatively burnt out to make anything for A WHILE, but I wanted to try out something new with how I draw, and I thought drawing a Miku for the first time would be a nice test.

Not a major change, but I feel more comfortable with this than the way I was doing it before =).

Might re-color it on my computer later too.

Begging Atlus to let FeMC join her friends again in the Persona 3 remake.

Also posting a second version of this after I finish redrawing it on the computer.

Final part of the computer remake of all the Phantom Thieves drawings I've done over the last couple of months.

Black Mask Akechi was one of my favorites of the original pencil drawings, and re-editing this on the computer made it easier to clean up a couple of things. I like how Violet turned out a lot better here than the pencil one too.

Making these has really helped as I'm learning the software for the first time. Just need to take better pictures of the original drawings so that there isn't empty space at the end of the legs lol.

Part 2 of my computer remake of the different Phantom Thief drawings I've made over the last few months.

Still learning the software (krita), but it is fun to experiment and try to see works for me.

Misa Amane. Pencil version, and a redraw on the computer.

Made for one of my best friends because her birthday is this month, and she got me into Death Note.
