First, I looked up a method for making a sphere. Then practiced with this a bit to get the right size.
Then tried to get the proportions right and made some tiles with prints (eyes and mouth) and as a last step the different copy abilities. I would say about 2 weeks.
But in hours, no idea, a lot.... But it was fun

@RiskNo7087 Lego is love, Lego is life

@RiskNo7087 Ah, I see. That must have been a painstaking process. I admire your dedication!

@Zuljaras
Yes!

Well, this is my hand drawing of Nintendo Switch 6th Anniversary.

As I am fired up by Breath of the Wild I started a new drawing and this is the sketch

@Anti-Matter
Nice!
@Zuljaras
I like your sketch.

I wish to use a base to draw my fursona.

I have to draw! I want to draw characters! I want to draw characters from CSM, and Samus! I’m gonna draw Samus! And like the whole xenoblade cast, but I don’t have the skill for it, all these ideas, I want them to be free! Yeah I just needed to get that out lol.

@Snatcher Practice and tries is the ONLY way!

First start with some tracing/shadowing.

Then move to just looking at a reference image and trying to recreate it.

After that start experimenting with your ideas and bringing them on a page or a drawing software.

The worst thing you could do is sit there and tell yourself how you do not have the skills.

@RiskNo7087
Thanks. 😀

@Zuljaras you’re right, even if I sit here and tell myself I can’t do it, what’s so different from me not doing it to begin with, if I can just do it. I actually have seen these videos before at some point, I have some drawing ability I think, so I will draw her. My stupid self has been drawing with little to no reference because I felt bad about it, or thought it made me suck, which was a stupid mindset to have, I used reference in my last drawing and the difference was, wow, I could actually figure out how to draw poses I wanted, final expressions I never tried and so on.

Yeah in short, me just saying I can’t do it is literally no different then not doing it, I least I can do something not being able to do something, I learn.

@Snatcher
You can start to upload your hand drawing of your characters, just like my hand drawings here. You need a pencil, small spidol and color pencils to draw then take photo your hand drawing with your smart phone.
Don't really worry too much about your art style.

Are digital drawings allowed here?

Also do any of my drawings have to be related to Nintendo at all? Because I have a bunch of OCs that I want to show off but aren't based on any existing corporation. I mean, I guess could just have them cosplay, but I'm getting tired of having to credit the company for the costumes worn.

@Anti-Matter Funny enough, I actually adopted all of my OCs. Also I've got 122 OCs so far.

@JadeKitsune As far as I’m aware, the definition of ‘art’ is pretty loose here (I got away with posting some music I’d made a while back) so digital drawings should be absolutely fine.

People mainly go with Nintendo-influenced stuff because that’s naturally going to have the most receptive audience, but I don’t think there are any rules on it!

I know I said I'd never draw copyrighted characters again, but now the urge to draw myself with Pandora and Phosphora (from Kid Icarus: Uprising) is rising.

@JadeKitsune Why wouldn’t you? If you want to, do it, drawing is supposed to be something you enjoy, and if you enjoy drawing that, do so.

Me with Pandora and Phosphora ❤️

Both ladies are owned by Nintendo, blah blah blah.
