Description
Oldest > Latest. I have been sketching so many head shots for some reason xD I'm thinking to open commissions for these again by the end of this year.From left to right:
1. Character from blade and soul. I'm trying to use a softer palette to shade. Full: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/971…
2. My OC Ikuyo. Some experimental doodle. Full: www.instagram.com/p/BmGpzJdnTf…
3. Same character as in #1, but I used a different anatomy for the face. Usually I draw 'long' faces for guys, but here I went for something cuter. Full: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/103…
4. Daire from Valentines Otome. Corynth has been throwing a lot of fanart of my visual novel, so I thought to return something. I used to have trouble adding glasses but now it doesn't seem that hard. Full: darknightsblog.tumblr.com/post…
5. Another character from blade and soul. Revealing outfits aren't my forte so it took a while to gather confidence. I want to practice more female anatomy. Full: twitter.com/_Pinlin/status/104…
Anyway, what I've been up to... Recently I kinda lost motivation to draw for myself. It's hard to bring myself back to what I used to love. Whenever I plan something serious, my focus shifts to procrastination.
The only way to keep myself somewhat sane is my visual novel project (darknights-time.weebly.com / www.deviantart.com/pinlin/art/… ) The passion for this keeps me productive.
Aside from it, I don't know what to do. I've gotten so inactive on social media. I always come back to check my notifications. I'm touched by the kind comments. Thank you for staying with me. In the next few weeks I'll continue
posting things that I haven't shared yet.

Seeing your art inspires me so much, Pinlin~ It's just so amazing! These sketches(which I can't believe are sketches) are just-- Indescribable ;;
Take it easy~ I hope everything gets better for you and you find motivation to draw for yourself again!

dude these are awesome it makes me really sad to see such talented artist lose their motivation,i hope you find your inspiration in something around you.
but seriously these are all amazing i can't decide which one i like more (1st one or your oc are battling for the 1st place tbh)
also the "cuter" face type,the shorter one,you did it really good.
imma you and hope to see more amazing art once you get back on track.

I used to think that about people I find inspirational. Now I'm in that position, I can understand.
At the moment I'm slowly getting the motivation back. My hands are tingling to get new ideas on canvas.

Good glob your art is so amazeballs ;w;

and I used to be very addicted to games, but now I can't seem to play my usuals.
You can do eeeet~! Before you notice it things will get back into the groove again

It's hard to get back to a routine. I keep bouncing in and out ( ಠ益ಠ)
Maybe what used to work doesn't anymore. I need to find a new reason to be productive.

//slowly erases my description// Let's call it a painting.
I procrastinated on so much stuff. Even though I can work faster than I used to, the amount time spend being productively is less.
So in the end I didn't work hard Jkjks I'm crawling back to the positive side.

Wow! This is amazing! I would love to be able to draw like this. I know what you mean about ideas driving you crazy, some of mine float around in my head constantly until I can try to write them out, however horrible they may be.

Pinlin In reply to happydoo2 [2018-10-08 12:19:42 +0000 UTC]
How horrible they may be, write all of them down! Something I have those strange ideas crawling in my head.
If I don't give them a space, they'll pop up again sometime. Actually it's thanks to those strange ideas that make
best inventions _(: D

I love how you paint. The comm I have from you is one of my favorite pieces of the character. I would love to commission you again, your art is so good.

I'm happy to know/// In the last years I shifted to a painty style. I also love how yours turned out.
Thanks to that experiment, I discovered a new way of picking colors. Hehe, I missed doing those commissions.
I think to open them somewhere in mid-november 9+_+)9

Hi pinlin;
do you mind if I saved one of the above and painted over it, purely for practice? (May change a tiny bit of anatomy as well).
I just really like the colors + effects you’ve used, and think it would be a good experience for me.
I don’t think I’ll post it (anywhere) and if I do want to, I’ll ask for permission first of course, and credit you if you agree.
Thanks for reading !

Pinlin In reply to LilaBun [2018-09-28 21:56:43 +0000 UTC]
Ohh, which one is it? Yes, you can for study. Posting without credit is self-explanatory.
When you finish it, I'd like to see!

Thank you <3

I can't help to call all of my paintings "sketches". There's always something to fix, but I'm afraid that refining makes it worse xD

I think it's all great. But, of course, the sketch is what came before these drawings, right?
I'm just trying to say that your art is amazing, and you don't need to downplay it. /)^o^(\
