Bee makes an art thread

[Deleted]

Wow there's so many kind words from you guys! You're all too nice to me. Not that I'm complaining because I live for these compliments, but I truly didn't expect this much attention for my art.


anyways here's the art.






I finished two this time! I'm trying to work on doing some better poses and stuff. I was also thinking of maybe doing a process thing for how I draw my kitties, but I'm not sure if that would be interesting or not? I'm not sure. 

As always if you have any issues with the drawing or if there's a problem with it then just ask and I'll fix it up for you.

Cloverkit I'll get to your soon. Also I might make an actual form to fill out in the future, but I'm not sure for right now.

Oh my gosh, I love it!! Thank you so much!<3

Hey so I wanted to draw my characters as people so that's a thing now. My little boys got some hair on them.

That anatomy is awful, but I'd be willing to do other people's characters too if that's something that somebody actually wants. I really like doing people, and people based on my kitties is great. So yea I guess I could do that too?

Anyways I also finished Cloverkit's drawing. It took a little while to work it out because I actually decided to do a real background as well. So I have a field background and a black background. You can use either one I just wanted to work on some different backgrounds aside from just the black ones with designs.

Field:


Black w/ design:


So I'm pretty happy with that background. Both of them are pretty good, but dang that background. I am indeed very happy with it. Okay so yup as always ask for some more drawings and I'll do them and if you want me change something in the drawings I'd be happy to do that.

okay yes I'm done talking.

[Cloverkit]

Thanks so much! Both look beautiful!

[Deleted]

Gorgeous!! I would love to see how you make your kitties, since you offered to make a process thing xD

I also love the way you do your backgrounds, like Clover's. I've always loved that realistic/digital paint look.

[Fawnskip]

Wow! This art is amazing!
I would love to request sometime,
This is a very beautiful style!

[Ivypaw]

May I request? These are all just so lovely and I really love your style >v<

Ivy is white with light gray tabby patches. Her fur is a littly longer than average. Her right eye is blue, and her left is green. (you can use my signature as a reference) I didn't have any sort of background in mind, whatever you'd like to do is fine with me.

Wow so I just kind of went missing for a day or two there. But I'm back with a drawing and tutorial on the drawing for Ivypaw. I'm going to throw it in a little spoiler drop down thingy because it is kind of a long explanation on just how to draw cats, so if you don't want to see it then just don't click it! No problems.

SPOILER: Click to show

So I thought I should probably explain the program I use. It's called medibang paint and I honestly think it's fantastic. It has everything I could possibly want and it's free. It is an app so that should probably give you a hint towards the fact that i do all my art of an iPad. I don't actually have a computer I can use for my art so that's kind of a bummer.

Now onto the actual drawing.



To start off I always do that little circle sketch thing. The circles usually start small for the head and get bigger as you move down the body. Sometimes I add in the limbs and cross face like I did here, but I don't always do that. Just for the more complicated poses that I don't do nearly as often. This little sketch part is probably the hardest part of the drawing for me personally because this is always where I try to fix the pose and make it look nice it usually takes about thirty minutes to get this part drawn, mostly because I erase it so much.



I don't really do a true 'sketch' layer and really just use my circles as the layout for my lineart. When drawing the lines I try to make it so the fur doesn't exactly cling to the circles, because that kind of makes the cat look either malnourished or fat, depending on the poses, but I always try to have the fur and body kind of follow the curves that the circles lay out. The neck and head are usually fluffier because I'm not exactly sure how to draw those any other way and make them look good. It's a predicament.




The next part is just laying down the colouring and the patterns. It's not too difficult with that handy dandy paint bucket tool, but I always avoid using exact white, grey, or black as colours because they kind of drain the life out of my drawings. I also colour they eyes light colours of what they are meant to be, like in this drawing they are green and blue so you can see how light the colours are. This is because I actually don't draw irises or anything, but I still want to show off eye colours.



Then I just add an outline around the cat and throw in a background. It really just depends on what I feel like doing for what type of background I chose. Usually this is just some type of geometric background, but the odd time I do a more digital paint like background. They take soooo much longer, but too be honest I like the look of them better.

And then it's done. That's how I draw my kitties. I tried to explain it the best I could, but I've never tried to explain my process before so it might just be me rambling.

Anyways here's the finished request drawing for Ivypaw.



I hope you like it and if not then just as for something to be changed and I'll try my best to fix it. As always I'm open for any requests for anything your heart could possibly desire. Also if you want a more paint style background then please state that, because no promises on doing that type.

Okay this is adorable oml <3 I'd actually wish to request one of these bubs.

I feel like this character's a little difficult but I'd like to request Prickle here...
He looks almost exactly the same as this but with amber eyes and very spiky fur. <3

[Deleted]

Prickle I will truly try to do that face type, but I've never actually done that before so it might be a little strange. I enjoy the challenge though and will post it once I'm done. I should be either tomorrow or the next day.

[Ivypaw]

Ohmygod ohmygod, this is so cute, thank you so much! With your permission, may I edit it so that it only says "Ivy" once? It's just so that I can resize it for my signature a little easier- and that's something I can do myself, so that you don't need to go to the trouble.

Once again though, thank you so much, you've drawn my daughter so beautifully, ohmygosh.

[DarkPaw]

Oh my goodness, these are so stinking good! Can't help but ask for one. hehe.
Dark is a deep grey to an almost black hue. Yellow/gold eyes. As in avatar or even sig referances.
For a background please something with the black! LOOKS great!
THANK YOU SO MUCH

[Deleted]

I hope you guys don't mind waiting a little longer for the art. I haven't been drawing much lately so it'll take a little longer to get them done. It will happen eventually though.

Also I would be fine with you editing the drawing Ivy.

Yea I'll finish the rest of the signatures eventually. Maybe someday.

I believe I would love a piece for Little ;o;
Basically he's a mix that resembles a lilac Abyssinian.
Here's a link for more info.
Thanks again, I'll probably use it for my avatar, if you'll allow it!
