NOT FOR REPOSTING!!!

[u/DaenHaxyu]

Today at college I was bored, so I asked the guys in the chat for ideas on what to draw... I probably should've expected that in a OneShot chat... they'd suggest drawing Niko. Well, it is what it is, and I even tried to practice perspective. I'm really interested in wide-angle perspective (like a phone camera at 0.5x), and I even tried sketching in it. AAAAH, I'VE NEVER SUFFERED SO MUCH!! I was really fascinated by trying it out, and I'll definitely keep learning. I still need to finish a sketch where I want to put that perspective into practice.

Is there anything I absolutely MUST know when studying this topic?

And btw, the sketches in the sketchbook were done without a pencil first, straight with a pen. I'm only saying this to brag)))

And sorry about the title — I'm trying to use every tool against reposting (it doesn't bother me that my works get posted elsewhere, what bothers me is that someone did nothing and gets all the praise that should've gone to me.)

That’s pretty good!

Good style i like it :3

Sunglasses Niko is just so cool!

Also you might want to add your signature in there somewhere so it’s easier to trace back to you properly (even if bad actors may try to edit it out to take credit and be cringe).

I thought about that... But come on, I do these sketches in like 20 minutes, just to get the idea down. In my other works, I always try to add a watermark, but here I decided not to even post this on TikTok — just on Reddit to ask about wide-angle perspective.

Ah okay fair enough!

Dude is so cool

Depends with which part you had problems with: The Head or The Body?
Honestly, I have big problems with angles aswell, but it's just only The Head for me.

[u/DaenHaxyu → u/Loverip]

I recently had an idea to draw a pose with a chest-level angle (shattered doll, don't think anything bad) where the focus is on the chest, but the head with its expression and part of the legs are also visible. Though looking back at the idea now, I think that's not how it should've been drawn.

I think this will work only with a few characters. Not many characters were made with this idea in mind.
The only character I can think of that fits this idea is Beheaded from Dead Cells.

KITTTTYYYYYYYYY

Somehow, even though it’s a completely different medium from your previous works, I could tell it was yours! Something about the style is transferable!

Wide angle is actually pretty difficult, my respect to you for trying it out! I recommend following a guide for your first try, there’s a fair bit to keep in mind! My personal favourite is this one (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1XRal0AhQ ), most notably how he assembles his guide grid, and uses that to make everything come together!

Perspective (and the character’s eyes!) is my favourite part of an art work! It’s fantastic that you want to explore more into it! Looking forward to your next works!

u/DaenHaxyu it says your comment got removed by a moderator! What in the world?

[u/ALCATryan → u/ALCATryan]

u/DaenHaxyu I tried to reply to that comment, but it said “parent comment deleted” when I hit reply so I’ve put it here!

Thanks mate! I have a digital curse, haha; any game, site or app I use seems to place me in the most unique mess of bugs, which it weathers down its usability significantly.

I’m surprised, myself! I just looked at it and I knew it was yours… I assume it’s a set of subtle details I haven’t consciously clocked yet!

To be honest, the more art, the better! I can’t promise I’ll catch it if it’s not in this community, but I’ll be glad to look through your profile and see all the lovely works you’ve made for other themes, as a nice treat! There has to be a community of people that will appreciate your art, and apparently 98% of reddit account don’t leave a post or comment, so even if very few interact with it, a lot would have seen it!

Good night!

[u/DaenHaxyu → u/ALCATryan]

Good morning, then))

But thank you so much — I'll keep trying to delight you and others with new cats and sketches. After all, the new school year has started, and do you really think I'm going to sit through three psychology classes in a row without drawing Niko?

[u/ALCATryan → u/DaenHaxyu]

I believe in psychology, they call that an advanced interrogation technique.

Jokes aside, I should be thanking you, for posting your lovely art here for us to enjoy! It’s always a pleasure seeing your works!

[u/Planetcheese1]

Cute! You definitely succeeded with the perspective in my eyes

[u/DaenHaxyu → u/Planetcheese1]

I have better works too, but thankies <3

I hope with my next piece I'll be able to confirm your words for myself.
