Mah Fruity 'Folio

[Cherry Berry]

// Herro c: Finally decided to start on me 'folio. //

// About myself //

Since 1st August, I became 19. x3 I live in London, England.
I started my interest in drawing around the age of 12, whilst on a holiday in Madeira. Though back then all I could draw was that Nestle Rabbit xD
I always look at my work and feel like something's missing. Then again, I'm getting my first tablet soon. Only things I use to draw is either a mouse or my trusty pencil.
I like reading, listening to music, watching films and writing up original stories that I feel too ashamed to show to anyone. Maybe its just because I'm too shy xD

On Deviantart I am known as fruityloopy-cherry, and well... Lets just say I'm still training on my drawing skills, they've been rusty these past 3 months. Hadn't drawn much since last year.

// Here's some examples of my more recent works though, so we can start off somewhere //

P.s. Once I get myself a tablet, I'll be looking forward to learning more on how to use it. c:

Also, one last thing... Tis possible if I can also learn how to make professional sigs + avvys?

~ Posting this from the old forum, will update soon with hand anatomy and a few new pieces :3
I've also started using dark room photography, so I'll show you my first piece soon ;3

Nice work Cherry! You have a nice and clear style which suits your subjects well I think the hands need a little work - they are one of the hardest things to draw, but ohther than that, great stuff

Attached on this post is a revamp of one of my drawings (colored and digitalized on the ipad 2 using art studio) and a new drawing I did based on Pottermore, my younger sister taking Harry's place for a day to defeat Voldemort and his legions of Whore-Cruxes. (also done on le ipad 2)

My deviantart is: fruityloopy-cherry.deviantart.com

Mhmm Very clear pencil lines on your styles, you seem very accustom to the manga style of drawing, there are a few tweaks on parts of the body and granted Mata said it already with the hands, but everyone struggles with those one way or another, I'd suggest adding colour or shade to a few more, doesn't even have to be digital you'd be surprised how much simple pencil shading can do.

As for the actual digital colouring I saw some subtle shading on the clothing and on parts of the body to suggest there is a light source I assume ---> Direction?
I won't be picky since I have no clue how hard it is to draw or colour on the ipad2 xD I'd say your next challenge would be tones and texture to make them more real, I look forward to future art pieces.

Your Hetalia OC is so, so adorable! I love her expression of just pure happiness and the colors are so eye-catching. There seem to be a few issues. Her shoulders are unbalanced. It looks like her left shoulder is bigger than her right shoulder. Also her face wobbles a bit. You might want to practice matching the left and right side of the body. Also, it might be a good idea to add a bit more shading.

You did a really good job with her hair. It has a very textured feel to it, which I really like. Great job on this!

The Pottermore picture is simply hilarious. I love Voldermort's expression.

Welcome to MF!
So I really like your drawing style. It's nice and the colors on those are nice and stand out. There are some problems with anatomy and such but, those can easily be worked out with practice

lol! @ the voldemort one XD your works are very neat! i like your way of drawing, it looks cute^^ anyways, the thing i found wierd about the first picture you coloured in was that the face didnt look as round or... atleast no the same shape. i dunno how to explain it sorry... im bad at explaining things. but other than that, great work^^

that maderia character is cute, is she an original design?

[Dezi]

Nice drawings!
My favourite would have to be the pikachu. XD his expression when I saw it made me laugh a little lol.
overall nice work ^^

Thank you!! At the moment I'm taking everything on board and practicing the drawing of hands v(^^ v'') I seem to have very low confidence in that department, but hopefully it'll get better over time and practice :3
Drawing on the iPad 2 can be tricky at first, however since I'm using ArtStudio its quite similar to software I had been using before, and after some practice (lol summer) I got the hang of it (well, sort of... the Hetalia OC was done in the car for the most part and the car kept jiggling) D:
:3 But its easier than using a tablet.

x3 I'm glad you love my pottermore drawing. xD Tbh I didn't intend for Nagini to be where he's placed at, people have often pointed at that and made some dirty, dirty innuendo about it.
:3 You're right about me needing to develop on my coloring skills, really I'm only an amateur and the ipad doesn't give you much to work with in terms of shading (though I could be wrong here) xD
I could try to fix up the Hetalian OC so she doesn't seem wobbly and stuff.

Will definitely take things on board so the quality of art will get better

xD I didn't notice at first how wonky the face was, thank you so much for pointing that out. :3 And thank you.

that maderia character is cute, is she an original design?

x3 Yes she sort of is, but her body positioning, no xD :3 The traditional madeiran culture wear bright colors, reminds me a bit of the spaniards and russians :3 And since it was the location I was at during holidays, thought it'd be convenient. S'pecially when I go there almost every year :3

Nice drawings!

overall nice work ^^

xDD Thank you, gotta love the pikachu eh? Makes me tear up every time I look at that face.
My sister's keeping it in her room now xD She only requests lulzy pictures from my end. ^^

Also, here's some new photos!!
Hope I've improved digital wise!! I've been using the art studio paid app on the iPad 2, in case you wanted to know!!! I kinda stook to persona for a while XDD














In case any of you want to know who the blonde I've been continuously drawing recently, she's from the persona series, persona 2 in particular :3c Her name's Lisa Silverman, and well, I RP her quite a bit on Tumblr!!

These are very nice, youve got an excellent style which really suits the characters youve drawn. The colour and shading on all your work looks great =)

I particularly like this one. I just love everything about it, the poses, the faces and the interaction between both of them look great. Only thing I would say is that the hands on the girls shoulder looks lke it has one too many fingers

Anyway, keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to seeing more =D

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like it, and I have to say I was quite happy with this one too! Though, I hadn't noticed the extra finger olololol but that can easily be rectified :3c

And I will! Thank you!! Thank you very much for the advice!

[Heartless]

You have some really lovely images here!

I must admit, the Draw Something images did make me smile.

Although it is actually this image that is my favourite.

I don't quite know why, it just looks so clean and delicately done and the added texture adds a nice touch.

Looking forward to seeing more!

I love your stuff ^_^

I really like the Person(?) characters drawn Panty and Stocking style ^_^

But why is everyone saying "Aiyahh"?

Oh and on the girl at the beach one, I think maybe the top left of her torso is a bit too long maybe....or I could be wrong ^_^

[Anni]

How many lovely pics! I really like your style, really cute and original! Also like the way you colour really nice work!

I like al your pics but my favourite is maybe the one with the samurai, i love how you shade it and it has a great mood!

Keep at it!

I will look forward to you!
