This is the second of the $25 character commissions. This time, it's :iconastrozerk04:'s character, Jase.

I don't think I've ever drawn a surfer dude before, so this was extra fun!

You're really loving the Auerbach colors these days aren't you? I think it looks great, Ive always liked the orange/blue color scheme not as high contrast as purple/yellow or as christmassy as red/green.

Haha, wow, it turned "sherbet" to "Auerbach?" What the hell?

Orange and blue is good in certain situations, but not always. Usually it reminds me of Florida football, but in this case it works.

Haha, that's true, very football. But you did it more like a sunset, which works for surfing.

gosh i love how shapely your art is~
I'm totally trying to get out of the habit of drawing anime.
I want my art to have more character... like yours has.
It's hard kicking this habit of 'same face same expression' thing...
gawh!!!

If you made a cartoon that would be awesome! srs.
Think about it!

Until then, I will pretend that your pictures can move

Thanks so much!

You know...anime isn't necessarily a bad thing and those who are great at it really blow my mind. But I can understand why you might want to try something new (and I encourage it, just as much as I encourage you sticking to anime if that's what you really do enjoy drawing).

Here, I'll give you a nice starting tip on drawing with shapes. ;D

Rounder characters tend to be more likable and are perceived as cute and friendly. If you want a character to look dangerous or fast, try to use lots of sharp angles like a triangle. And if you want a character to appear stronger and more sturdy, use a lot of square-like shapes as the basis for your character.

It's basic knowledge but it would have helped me had I known it when I started cartooning. Hope it helps you and lemme know if you have any questions about anything!

Yea there are some really talented anime artists out there, aren't there?
There is no doubt that the ratio of anime to cartoon dramatically tips the scale.
Cartoon has inspired me since I was five, and I did not get into anime until I was 12, It was my real inspiration for drawing, you know.
The thing that amazes me the most about it is that it has a more variety between artists, its more distinguished.


Your tip is actually really helpful, however fundamental!
:) I used to practice drawing circles a lot so most of my characters are based from round shapes. But I will definately get to practicing more with other shapes! Your so nice and helpful!

Nice job on the surfer for the first time. The sun burn on the nose and cheeks is a nice touch.
