First Time Making a Character Reference Sheet...

Recommended Posts

Okay so I've been in the drawing pony phase for awhile now, more than a few months.. and over a year. Thing is, I've just opened up commissions, and did gifts within this year. Recently I did this piece where it's a "character reference" sheet. I mean, you know.. it shows the colors used, and all the extra stuff.

 

So I made one for "Regina" a pony that belongs to Thebronychef, google it for more info. (Basically the little one is lost, and it's uber sad.) And it's just.. I don't know if it looks right. To me, all my art looks strange so I have to ask other peeps how it is really..

 

Here's a pic….

It's pretty big, I know… but I had to fit everything...

 

I tried to do a bit of typography in the name, and then included everything you would need in one of these. Headshots, poses, and other stuff…. like "eye style". Some have round eyes, or if they're like Rarity's they're a little diamondy. Hers was circles, and I chose the two colors from her gradient to represent her colors for her mane. That way, you could make the gradient from those two...

 

I know how people put colors in unique shapes, so I wanted to do that. I used the butterfly shape that I used from her wing, and then did all the outlines + fills. 

 

Everything else is above what I included… and etc….

 

 

So, what do you think? Too busy? Too much stuff? Or does it look alright to you? Let me know...

 

 

 

(And yes I'm a blank flank lol ^^')

You made this sheet to the point where just by referencing this I could draw this OC myself in almost any position. There is never too much when it comes to things like this. You could probably rig this pretty easily as well.

Heh, yeah I suppose so. The only thing I didn't do was the the back, but I guess from the angles given you could do it easily.. And yeah, you could rig it you're right. Thanks.

Very nicely done! I like all the angles you put in.

 

Thanks~ I tried to include that best I could
