Artlings | 羊 The Ram

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Heya everyone, Chogi here!

This month's Artlings theme was

Astrology × EXO

Since I did a Chinese zodiac themed fanart last year , I wanted to do a sort of "redraw" to see how my style has evolved over the year ^¬^ Think of it as a personal art improvement challenge~

So last January I drew Kyungsoo as the Ram/Sheep of the Chinese zodiac:

Cute... but there's always room for improvement right? Let's see how I've changed since last year~~

WIPS

Initial sketch! He looks dumb I know but it'll get better!

Cleaner lineart! Honestly looking back I probably could've skipped this step bc I just ended up painting over everything ie. I wasted my time landlsnsks

°

Painting time! I made a new layer under the lineart and painted base colors before merging both layers and just painting over that one layer.

Finished!

羊 (Chinese, yáng) = goat/ram/sheep

What do you think? I think I changed a lot :joy: I'm really trying to move toward a 3D-ish painting style~ And before you ask, he's topless bc I needed anatomy practice, nothing else :innocent: 🤗

This took FoReVEr but I plan to finish up the rest of the zodiac...I've already gotten the initial sketches of everyone done, so hopefully I can keep up the motivation and paint everyone else by the end of the year! *fingers crossed*

All right, that's all for today~ Please follow our official Artlings for monthly art recaps, and don't forget that you can also request fanart ideas for us to do! Just click the link below :arrow_down:
