Gaia's little corner o' art...
 
Sooo, I'm like way hugely new here. A very good friend pointed me in this direction and here i be. Since ya'll have such a nice little art forum, I thought I might add a little of my work here now and again. Just a little something fun.


...late last night....I was taken by an attack of Chibitis...

Very cute! I like his little legs and feet and the way you did the football field. Makes me want to make chibis too! :)

thanks. *hug* I should have known you'd respond. :)

Since the entire uniform is black, I had to figure out a way to break it up a bit so as to define separate parts of the uniform... the spaces seemed a good way to work it.

thanks so much for the feedback! He's part of my first real attempts at Chibis. I want to try digitally coloring him a bit later.

...and speaking of artwork...I'm off to teach my class!

I've only done little chibi faces and they came out kind of cute, but I've not really been daring enough to add the body too! It's hard figuring out the proportions so they look like they're supposed to be that way instead of looking like a failed chibi attempt, if that makes any sense! lol

I found that the easiest thing to do is go back to basics. That is to say, knowing that a chibi body ratio is 1:1 or 1:2 (I tend to scale up to 1:2)...that is to say, one head length is equal to the lengh of the rest of the body (1:1), or in a 1:2 ratio, the body is as long as two head lengths. I guess that's the complicated way of saying I put two big circles down just touching, one on top of the other. The face fits inside the top one, and then I sketch in a tiny gingerbread body shape in the lower one...and then I force myself to keep all body bits within that circle.

LOL. I dunno if that'll help you out or not...but I'd love to see some little Aliena-chibis! I bet they'll be adorable!
