A very rough, black and white pencil sketch. A sort of triptychon with three separate frames showing very rough halfbody poses of three women.

Sometimes it feels like the sketches... sketch themselves??
Idk, this took me just a few minutes and I wish EVERY sketch (at least of a FACE!) would come that easily.

Today's OCtober sketch.
The overall theme is childhood, so I will depict my OCs as kids and try not to focus too much on perfection, but rather on emotion or interesting poses.

Ayerah was requested, so Ayerah it is, with his baby sister 💖

#FabelwesenArt #OCArt #FabelwesenSketch #OCtober
A rough black and white pencil sketch of a young, maybe teenage Ayerah, bust view, with his little sister peeking over his shoulder anxiously. She has dark, unruly hair, her tiny fingers gripping his shoulders. Ayerah has long black hair, some strands close to his forehead sharing the unruliness of his sister's hair. He looks troubled, eyes open wide. A long scar crosses his face horizontally.

#EternalFlameTabris
A tiny, very rough pencil chibified bust sketch of my boy Tabris, a man with light hair, wearing armor and with a halo behind his head, clasping his hands together, as if begging or praying, eyes huge and filled with tears.

I was asked if I could provide more WIP sketches so I nervously present: The very rough basic sketch for my Valentine's Day drawing of Bella, based on the meme going around.

#FabelwesenSketch #OCArt #TradArt
A very rough and light pencil sketch of my OC Bella, a dark haired woman, sitting on a covered chair, with thighs and pumps and apparently no other clothes on. She is holding onto a huge heart that is wrapped around her with a bow. She also has a bow on her head. She is smiling at us.

Next OCtober sketch 🥰
I pulled Vaughn's name and got very excited, because I have never drawn him as a child.
Climbing trees with his brother Grunthor, way before things turned sad 🙏

#FabelwesenArt #OCArt #FabelwesenSketch #OCtober
#GoodBoyVaughn
A black and white rough pencil sketch of two young boys climbing a tree. Vaughn, a human looking boy, is seen full body, naked feet planted firmly on a branch, holding on to another branch qith both hands, leaning forward and looking at us with an upside-down face and a cheeky smile, black hair an unruly mess. His half-orc brother grins widely, tusks on full display while he hangs onto a branch with both arms, like a cat, body hanging down heavily, which he doesn't seem to mind.

I felt like drawing Berior in all their glory and liked the pose so much that I decided to have them use their wings to cover their body.
Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In their lane 💖

#FabelwesenSketch
#OCArt #OCSketch #TradArt #DnD
Photo of a black and white pencilsketch in my sketchbook. A nude fullbody drawing of my OC Berior, an angel of undefined gender with six wings, covering parts of their naked body with some of their wings and their long hair. They seem to be stepping forward while strerching, their arms and highest wings strerched high above their head, eyes closed in cozy comfort. They have several eyes on rheir face, as well as two tiny wings on the right and one tiny wing on the left side of their face. A halo hovers over their face, like two black, twisted rings of thorns, crossing over their temple.

New OC just dropped 🔥
Raksha, my precious daughter. This is just one of several haiestyles I have sketched down for her.
A fierce beast on the battlefield, just like most of her family.

(I like the accidental effect I gave this drawing while cleaning it up a bit)
#FabelwesenSketch #OCArt #DnDArt
A black and white pencil sketch. A bust drawing of Rakhsa, a fierce-looking woman with very short shorn hair on her head, three scars on her cheek, two more close to the top of her head. She has slightly pointy ears, the visible one nicked, high cheekbones and sharp canines which she just shows us, as she seems to be screaming. She has very short eyebrows and dark eye make-up. Around her head is a halo of partly broken thorns.

Part two, the final part, showing my general process when working on most of my art. Zahra's portrait was so much fun!
Again with descriptions in the alt-text.

#FabelwesenSketch #OCArt #TradArt
#ShiningMaidenZahra
A collage with six pictures of the same bust-sketch of my girl Zahra, all done traditionally. The upper left part shows the inked sketch, her skin already coloured in with alcohol markers. The second picture, in the upper middle part, shows her pink space buns coloured in, with lights and shadows. The upper right picture shows the rest if her long hair completely coloured in pink. I added blush to her cheeks and nose and tinted her lips light pink as well. The lower left picture shows how a golden/yellow border was added to Zahra's form and her halo coloured in hues of gold. Her eyes are golden as well and pink and golden freckles are added, mainly in the middle of her face. In the lower middle picture some strands of hair are coloured in black. The last picture, the lower right one, shows the finished painting, her outlines redrawn with a thicker pen, with details added to her hair and a few finishing touches done with white gel pen.

I don't have anything new, just these VERY rough sketches of the NPCs for our last Death Was The Only Road Out Of Town session.

#DWTOROOTPnP
A photo of my sketchbook depicting four very rough, black and white pencil sketches of four NPCs. In the upper left corner is The Porcellain Lady, the bust of a woman with a little hat and veil and hair reminiscent of the 1950ies. She is clad in fur, only her naked shoulders and deep cleavage are visible. She has full lips, a beauty mark, long eyelashes but no pupils. Her name/title is written beside her. On the upper right is a very fast and rough pencil sketch of a dog's head, mostly just the silhouette. A shepherd dog like form with very big, pointy, perky ears, fiercely glowing eyes, like stars, his mouth opened alightly, showing lots of pointy teeth. His name, The VVarden, is also written below him. On the lower left is a fullbody sketch of a person named Mercer, clad in a suit and open trenchcoat, pulling the gloves tight on one hand. Mercer has long hair, slicked back, huge, round glasses, one of them broken and a nasty grin on the face. The lower right corner has a halfbody sketch of The Sleep Paralysis Demon. A woman with a big smile and outstretched hands, as if she wants to give you a hug. She is also wearing a trenchcoat and a huge hat, plunging half of her face on shadows.

I am not sure if anyone is interested, but as I started Zahra's portrait, I also took pictures of every step inbetween and I thought I might share them.

Here's the first part, with the sketch phases. Descriptions in the alt-text.

#FabelwesenSketch #OCArt #TradArt
#ShiningMaidenZahra
A collage with five pictures of the same bust-sketch of my girl Zahra, all done traditionally. The upper left is the very first, initial pencil sketch. The lower left is the more refined one, still pencil. In the middle is the erased sketch, barely visible. The upper right shows the first rough inks, solidifying the shapes, adding some details. The remainder of the pencil sketch can still be seen. The lower right one is the same inked sketch, but now with every remains of pencil erased completely.

Okay listen!
The VVarden might have been the easiest NPC to draw. Everything about him is VERY me-shaped and I am already looking forward to ink him!

So I gathered a few OPTIONS, although I feel like I would have to draw at least a proper bust sketch of these, including clothes, to get a better feel for any of these hairstyles 🤔

Big shout-out to Tory for helping 🔥

#ChildOfDreamsGwydion
Two very rough and messy black and white ink sketches of Gwydion's head with two hairstyles. He looks grumpy and has long, Elvish ears. They are basically the same two low pigtails, but the option on the right shows his long hair braided. A very rough and messy light blue and white ink sketche of Gwydion's head. He looks grumpy and has long, Elvish ears. Parts of his hair is braided back, while two long strands flow over his (not yet drawn) chest. A rough and messy black and white ink sketch, over a rougher blue lined sketch, of Gwydion's head. He looks grumpy and has long, Elvish ears. He has a high ponytail variation here.
