Maybe starting over every time I find something to fix isn’t the best way to make progress or is it? I didn’t have a visual reference for the legs so I used my imagination with technique and logic. Do they look right for the most part? Can you at least tell how the legs are posed?

When I’m typing or writing not every word in my head makes it onto the paper or screen so you might have to fill in the blank here and there.

He has social anxiety but is still very outspoken and action driven so he feels on edge most of the time and he usually hides it well but not all the time.

In his youth he let internalized ableism and biphobia dictate how he expresses himself but he’s worked through a lot of his trauma so that is no longer the case.

He has that “I can see the comedy in pretty much anything” sense of humor but has enough empathy to know when something isn’t funny.

His fav band is a groove metal band called Mushroom Head.

He loves being outside, especially at night, if it’s raining he’ll just carry an umbrella and wear weatherproof boots but no rain coat. It’s too stuffy. He don’t like it.

His fav food is sushi. He only likes the simple kind. Anything more than fish, rice, and seaweed is too fancy. He also can’t eat the spicy tuna or anything spicy even though he loves it. It messes with his tummy. His unrequited love for spicy often tempts him but he resists most of the time.

For the most part he can read social cues even though it took him a while to abled to.

He still chooses to put honesty over normality when it actually matters and views doing otherwise as indirect cruelty.

I designed his outfit and hair and i established his body type in a sketch but then i stopped at the head.

I was thinking of giving him green eyes with brown glasses but that would be too self inserty so I switched it up.

He largely is a self insert for therapeutic reasons but I don’t wanna be lazy about it.

I should change up his family background and appearance at least slightly.

He’s 5ft 8in.

So he’s a little tan with some freckles on the apples of his cheeks and nose bridges and his shoulders because that’s his complexion when exposed to lots of sun everyday and I’m pretty sure Nevada is sunny.

He has big eyes with a some degree of a positive cantal tilt like mine but they’re cocoa brown and maybe a more rhombus shaped than almond shaped.

His nose is noticeable but in a good way. It’s sharp but not super pointy. It’s statuesque kind of.

His lips are medium sized with the bottom lip being a bit larger than top lip but not so much that it looks mismatched.

I might work on a fan fiction about a DWMA night school for adults with weapon and meister abilities that couldn’t attend when they were younger.

Knowing this might help with drawing him better and understanding the fit of his clothing a whole lot more:

So anyway I guess he’s somewhat sickly but he pushes himself to be active. He loves baking and really enjoys rollerblading too. He does tricks and freestyle.

He likes sewing every now and then.

He has some degree sensory issues and polyester clothing bothers him.

(SENSITIVE TOPIC! Read at your own discretion! do not approach with mockery or fetishization! Don’t make me punch you through the internet!)

I’m not gonna get too into how he ended up with those conditions and why things do or don’t work for him cause that’s not the point of this post. I’m only listing details that increase visual comprehension for drawing my OC. I feel like knowing why he wears the pants he does helps people understand how they fit more than just describing the level of bagginess I’m going for.

He has OAB and muscle spasms and is doing better than he used to but because of underlying nerve issues it will never completely go away.

He doesn’t respond well to muscle relaxers but pt helped him a lot.

He wears incon protection that varies depending on what he’s doing at the moment.

So he does use washable briefs with liners and washable or disposable inserts but the absorbency of all those things is interchangeable. I don’t wanna get super into it. Just know it’s bulkier than disposables but still more breathable and often more absorbent than any disposable pull-up out there soooo he dresses accordingly.

During prolonged exercise and increased water intake the likelihood and severity of spasms and accidents goes way up even with bathroom breaks and stretching.

He wears high waisted pants of varying degrees of bagginess depending on the level of protection he’s wearing at the moment.

He’ll still wear waist length/ shortish shirts sometimes as he isn’t super concerned about hiding his undies but he tries to be discreet and wants to wear things that are flattering.

I feel like drawing people would be easier if I had a mirror by my art desk because then I could see anatomy at different angles. Maybe I should get a table top mirror of a suction cup mirror and stick it on the window. Then I can tilt my desk without it falling off. Are there clamp mirrors on a bendy stick? That would be cool if I could get one that’s like one of those bendy clamp lights. It would just be a mirror instead of light.

I’ve been so obsessed with being able to draw that pose.

I can’t send a video. Just look through the photos really fast. Maybe it will be kind of like a video.

Does that make things harder?

He’s in a a dark room and there is one hazy source of light.
