Rating: Actual picture is G, video is maybe PG-13 or something for implied nudity because I sketched them all 'art naked' first.

Characters/Pairings: All original, from my own project I've had for decades.

(Over on Tumblr.)

I've had these kids for ages. There's sort of a story behind them, but it's a mystery if I'll ever write it. I still feel like I don't quite have enough body diversity in the main cast, but it's getting better.

The looks I'm attempting to capture are: Asher is a long-time hard drug addict and very malnourished as a result, Corey is ... more or less AFAB enby though still uses female pronouns and she's tall and lanky, Giselle is very femme and petite and chubby, Jacob has usable muscle-- he's used to doing strenuous physical activity not bodybuilding for show, and Nathaniel is genderfluid but AMAB and Tall.

Love the variety of body shapes and sizes. And I really enjoyed seeing your sketching process in the vid. :)

This is great! I love how different they all are, and the video of you drawing them is fascinating!

Thank you!

Fascinating to watch! I didn't know you could do that kind of recording with Procreate - but then there's a lot I don't know about using Procreate so that's not surprising LOL.
I loved the variety and seeing their facial expressions gain character as well as their bodies. Very cool!

Hah, I'm still learning how to use Procreate too. It didn't really pick it up on the video, but there was a lot of me undoing things I didn't mean to do during this trying to figure out how to use selections and transforms.

Procreate basically has a time-lapse feature, though, where it records each stroke you make, and then you can reply or export it into a video format. It's under settings > video.

And thank you!
