It's the 4th week of the hiveph art challenge @hiveph/hiveph-art-challenge-here-are-your-week-3-winners and I pick my own design.. I drew a beagle exercising and I will make an attemp to make it a GIF..
First I sketch all the shape and all the poses..I created all four of them. Here is one of the poses that I drew.
Then I clean the lineart to make it clear.
Now we proceed to put some color on the poses.. Maru my Furrbaby is the reference so I made it a tricolor beagle. I did my best to make the drawing to look like Maru. I copied even his markings and the color of his furr.
Here is the flat color of one of the poses.
The last step is to add shades and light details..You can see all the four poses here..
I used IbisPaint X, one of my favorite application in my phone(Samsung Galaxy note9),forever thanks to my beloved for giving me this phone.I know that this is a very expensive birthday gift from before so I forever treasure it. From sketching using pencil (#1), tracing and cleaning the line art using felt Tip Pen (hard), putting flat colors using pen (fade), and finishing it with the details in shading and lights using Airbrush (normal). I save it as PNG.
Lucky that my phone already has a create GIF so I just open my gallery and select all 4 photos and clicked create GIF.
And this is the final art. A cute tricolor beagle exercising. A chibi version of Maru.It is so satisfying to see the eyes closed the way I like it and the hand and tail movements too.
Well Maru is a very energetic beagle..He needs a lot of moving and sniffing around to stimulate his sense of smell.. He likes it when we play "chase the toy" where I tie some strings around the toy and I run while holding the strings and Maru will chase the toy eagerly.. He is having fun while I'm getting out of breath,lol. He also loves "find the treats" where I hide all the treats in all corners of the house and he finds them like a pro..
I want to carry him and take him with me when I'm going outside but he is just too big and even heavier than me.lol. So atleast in my art where there's a chibi version of him,where Maru is tiny and cute .lol. Well Maru is a big boy but adorable atleast in my eyes even though others especially the neighbors think that he is too scary because of his standard size (with lots of fats,lol).
Both he and I are on a diet now because We are both getting overweight. He doesn't likes it because he loves to eat and he cannot keep his mouth shut without his 3 meals a day so we just give in on his 3 meals a day but with a lesser serving.
Honestly I want to make the background of the gif transparent but I just messed up the process so for now let's leave it with the background until I learn how.
That's all for now. Thanks for visiting.. until next blog..
