Ah, thank you so much! Sorry for taking so long to respond! Here’s my take on the characters, hopefully this helps!
1. So when I draw them (or anything in general), I start with a line of action to help figure out how to pose them. Then I start roughing out the shape of the heads. The line between their face helps me to pin point where to draw the eyes, nose, mouth, etc! I use a normal brush the opacity set to about 30%.
2. When you draw, everything starts with shapes, so what I did with heads I do the same for the bodies. I rough out the shapes quickly for what I’m going for. Sans is kinda small and chubby and Papyrus is tall and thin, so the shapes you draw should reflect that! Reference is always good! 😀
3. This is where I start sculpting around the shapes and start adding their faces, hands, arms, cheek bones, the details in their clothes, etc. Think of them as smaller shapes on top of shapes, haha. I’ve also began erasing some of the construction lines.
4. I just keep refining the details and erasing the construction lines until… DONE! Since their will always be something I don’t like in my work, I use the transform/warp tool in photoshop to fix some things. Like San’s mouth was too big and I pushed Papyrus’s pose out just a little bit more.
I hope this kind of helps! <:) I know this was kinda fast but that’s usually my process. But don’t get discouraged, practice helps a lot!
I VISITED THE SUPERMARKET TODAY. THERE IS A REASON THEY CALL IT A SUPERMARKET.
THAT’S RIGHT!
YOU’VE GUESSED IT!
THEY SELL SPAGHETTI THERE! ALL KINDS! CANNED KINDS, UNCOOKED KINDS, FROZEN KINDS, ALL THE VARIETIES ARE THERE! I HAVE THIS STORY I’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU, MY DEAR DIARY!
I WAS SOLVING AN EXPERT VERSION OF JUNIOR JUMBLE (WHICH FRISK SOLVED EFFORTLESSLY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW!) WHEN SUDDENLY SANS TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO THE MARKET. I ASKED HIM WHICH MARKET, AND HE SAID THE BIG ONE. I SAID, WHICH BIG ONE? AND HE SAID ‘THE ONE THAT IS SUPER.’ I ASKED IF I COULD COME AND HE SAID SURE!
I WAS SO EXCITED THAT I NEARLY TORE MY PUZZLE IN HALF. IT WAS ACCIDENTAL, OF COURSE. MY GLOVES SLIPPED!
ANYWAYS, WE WENT TO THE SUPERMARKET AND OH MY GOD THERE WAS FOOD EVERYWHERE! THERE WERE FOODS I’VE NEVER EVEN SEEN BEFORE! DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY SELL CORN IN A BAG? SANS SAID I SHOULD STICK IT IN THE MICROWAVE LATER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS, SO I’LL DO THAT RIGHT AFTER I WRITE THIS VERY SENTENCE.
OKAY, SO APPARENTLY CORN EXPLODES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE. UNDYNE CAME INTO THE KITCHEN AND ASKED IF I WAS WATCHING HUMAN HISTORY, AND I TOLD HER THAT I WAS JUST ‘POPPING CORN’ AS SANS SAID. UNDYNE ENDED UP EATING MORE OF THE POPCORN THAN I DID, BUT THAT’S ONLY BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY SURE IT’D GET STUCK IN MY TEETH. I WASN’T SCARED OR ANYTHING.
….
REALLY! I WASN’T!
ANYWAYS, WE CONTINUED LOOKING AROUND THE SUPERMARKET. SANS BROUGHT A TINY BASKET AND I, OF COURSE, GOT THE BIGGEST, WIDEST CART THEY HAD AVAILABLE. I WAS GLAD I DID, BECAUSE SANS SAID THAT HE WANTED TO SHOW ME SOMETHING, SO I OF COURSE TOOK HIS SUGGESTION AND WENT OVER TO THE ISLE THAT BLEW ME OUT OF MY BATTLE BODY!
IT WAS AN ISLE.
FULL.
OF.
PASTA.
I SORT OF LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY BOXES OF UNCOOKED AND COOKED AND AGED SPAGHETTI I BOUGHT, SO SANS EVENTUALLY STOPPED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT BE ‘PUSHING THE LIMITS.’ THAT’S JUST IT SANS, YOU SILLY. I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE NO LIMITS!
…. EXCEPT FOR MY WALLET.
UNFORTUNATELY I ENDED UP SPENDING ALL THE MONEY I HAD IN MY WALLET AND THEN SOME. SANS PAID OFF THE REST. I DON’T THINK HE MINDED, BUT HE TOLD ME THAT WITH ALL THAT PASTA, I BETTER NOT ‘FORGETTI TO PAY HIM BACK.’ IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT I PROMPTLY RETURNED HOME TO BURY MY ANGST IN PASTA.
UNDYNE HELPED ME COOK SOME OF IT, BUT I THINK TORIEL BECAME A LITTLE PEEVED WHEN WE STARTED BREAKING PANS. AROUND HALFWAY THROUGH SHE STARTED HELPING ME COOK THE SPAGHETTI IN… ER… ‘APPROPRIATE PROPORTIONS.’ IT WASN’T AS EXCITING, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK IT WAS GREAT! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE EXPRESSIONS ON THEIR FACES WHEN THEY TRIED IT! FRISK EVEN HAD THE SAME EXPRESSION THEY HAD WHEN THEY TRIED THE SPAGHETTI I HID UNDER MY HAT THAT ONE TIME. BOY, THOSE WERE THE DAYS. I HOPE I’M NOT RE-IGNITING ANY SENSE OF LOVE THEY HAD FOR ME. THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME AWKWARD EVENTS.
