CREATIVE HABITS - The Mystery of the Subconscious World

[~Axis~]

Oh my goodness Neko...

Awesome.


For me it all depends on the situation. If I'm drawing a character I already know how to draw very well, all I need to do is just look at some references to help me figure out a pose or a scene to put the character in. Example, If I wanted to draw a Goku vs Vegeta scene, what I would end up doing is looking up all the manga pages or anime screenshots of their battles so I can get a general idea of the intensity I'm going for, doodle, then done! It's if I'm drawing my own characters/a completely new one where it's more difficult.

For a new character, I try gathering all the information about the character I can and then try and portray it into the design. I get the creativity for this by looking for real life references and anime or cartoon ones. Then..... I turn on some tunes! My favorite ones, and I try to picture what the character would be wearing and start from a basic design. Draw clothes, then put in all the facial features that would describe the character at a glance.

If it's for one of the characters I already made, I just jame to my tunes and look through references from various media.
