Lack of Reference Sheets
7 years ago
Oh, hello!
*can't commission anyone or get free art because none of my characters really have reference sheets or none of the reference sheets are good enough*
I've always had people draw my characters incorrectly even when I had reference sheets, so I hesitate to make more because I can just draw my characters on my own. But because I'm drawing them they tend to be imperfect and not show exactly how I want my characters to look, and then I change them immediately or repeatedly almost as soon s they've been posted :/
It's a lot of work making them look right, and I don't want to make a bad accurate one. I want them to be the ref sheets to end all ref sheets for those characters unless I decide to change an aspect of their design. So it's a lot of work making one that doesn't suck and that is accurate and anatomically nice
I always forget some important detail and I never have the guts to correct the artist, and then I have art that I never use or look at because of its inaccuracy and imperfection ^^; I'm very particular about how I want my characters drawn. I like things to be kind of close to how they are on the ref sheet, because I put work into drawing each species as correctly as possible, with the right nose and ears and paws and paw pads. I'm very picky about it and would rarely be able to accept something that is technically "wrong" for the species, like dog noses on rabbits or completely incorrect head shapes. I just csnt ^^; So I need to make ref sheets, I guess, that properly express how specific I want things to be drawn.
And I don't have a fancy computer program with layers that I can use to make my backgrounds less plane and to organize my words better and stuff, so they're all gonna look like crap no matter what, I think.... actually now I see something I can try.
