Need some inspiration.

Fondling Gems·Nov 6, 2016·2 votes·858 views

Currently as an artist I am trying to work on my ability to quickly sketch out and build a rough colour pallet In a short amount of time on a tablet. To kill two birds with one stone I also want to practice drawing things that others think of. So I decided to ask you all for inspiration. Feel free to recommend anything LoL related, boards appropriate, with a maximum of 4 champions.

After starting each piece I give myself 15 minutes to rough everything out, the same as I would do if I were doing a full drawing. After that I will post it up here so you can all laugh and point at how bad I am with a tablet.

Anyways feel free to post if you have any random league related sketches you want to see me fail at, currently I am not doing any finished pictures since I am just trying to work out artists block on a different project.

Alright, You put the first comment so I will do a 15 minutes Yorick sketch.

Alright, I burned too much time on lines so the background ended up super lackluster, but here is the 15 minute Yorick sketch, I did it of him and the maiden sealing some sort of deal. https://s17.postimg.org/cacln7qfj/Yorick_and_the_Maiden.png

a quick tip for speed, when drawing would be to create a quick single line of action the character's body direction. this leads into making the mass and the limbs going in the direction you want and help make the pose more interesting. also using straights vs curves helps to when first sketching a drawing. ive learnt this through life drawing in the school i going to. it allows me to get the pose and action down in under a minute.

edit: if interested in what im talking about i could quickly draw examples

almost forgot, i then can look at what isn't right with the proportions

Fondling GemsNov 6, 20161 votes

No, I know what you are talking about. I tend to save that step for when I am actually doing the drawing. I tend to quickly rough out a character without any real care for the proportions, then when I start the actual piece with some idea of what it is going to look like I take time to figure out exactly how it is going to work.

I am a veeeeeeeeeeeeery slow artist, partially because I like to break everything down into complete steps. I have a bad habit of starting a drawing then realizing I don't know what else is going on in the picture/what colour everything is going to be, so doing a very rough sketch to get the image into my head and for reference later is super helpful to me, even if it slows down my drawing even more, which is part of why I am trying to get faster at this step.

Draw Kalista dashing and aiming a spear towards the camera :)

Here you go, bit pale but that doesn't matter much when it is just what I do when roughing out how a picture will look. https://s17.postimg.org/frenq6phr/Kalista.png

Surprisingly fun to do even if I was an idiot and did a mostly green character against a green background. https://s17.postimg.org/h7q68bsen/Urgot.png

wow these are really neat. think you could do a lulu sketch?

Fondling GemsNov 7, 20161 votes

Sure, just started a game but I will do one afterwards.

Fondling GemsNov 13, 20161 votes

So uhhh.... Well you see... I kinda forgot... then I remembered, then I put it off, then I remembered again, then I forgot, then I remembered that I forgot, and uhh... sorry.

As way of apology I did a fairly complete drawing of Lulu, the way I picture her playing card games. Not a super high quality piece of art, I only spent a day on it, but here you go. https://s11.postimg.org/523hq8udv/Lulu.png

that just screams lulu. thank you.

Fondling GemsNov 13, 20161 votes

Lulu does have a very unique attitude when it comes to her interpretation of the world. That "UNO!" joke is actually an in joke among most of my friends where I have a tendency to scream out the terms for a game when I am playing something completely different, UNO being the most common. When I was reading Lulu's lore to decide what to draw I was reminded of that and realized it was exactly what Lulu would do to. At that point I didn't have the option to draw anything else.

Glad you like it though!
