So this one was a commission for @rottas.art on tiktok, they asked for a rendered half-body of their character Sulo! So I will be talking about my experience when this was in the works!

The easier parts were the hair, clothing and the hat, of course. Mainly, I use around 

3-5 colours in total to render out the hair, for this one I had to use only 3, which was pretty easy in my personal opinion to me. The clothing - the vest and undershirt (what I call them, no idea if they're called that in reality) were pretty easy to draw and render too, as it didn't require too much work for me. There was a bit of the issue when drawing the rough sketch to get the shadows correctly of where the folds were in, but otherwise it all went well. And the hat, that was the easiest part in my opinion!

The harder part for me was the nose, just like always. Once again, I am reminding - I do not draw noses, I *render* them in, so it took some time, but it turned out fine. The 2nd hardest part was the hands. Especially the fingers! Getting the angle right was quite of an issue, and shading them out was kind of a challange too, but I worked it out.

And basically that's that! This wasn't that difficult, but it did have some difficulties, just like anything in art-like things. Anyways, I appreciate the person commissioning me and I enjoy the fact they loved the final result! 

- P.S.: PLEASE do not use the image that is attached, as the character in the drawing isn't my own and we would be thankful that you do not use it, or distribute it in any way that would be claiming, that the character/drawing is owned/done by you. Thank you!

-- 2nd P.S.: The image shown is one of the final finished versions, this one shown is with lineart on some parts, the one without lines is on the tiktok page. Ty!

Hello people of the internet on this platform, today I will be talking about a commission that I've officially finished drawing yesterday (2026/08/20)! I got commissioned by @thepilgrimer [TikTok] to draw her OC - Alejandro, in a half-full body and fully rendered!

So I will be talking about the easier parts first:

The first easy part was the rough sketch, since it's all rough, not smooth and clean, which makes changing certain things a tad easier for me to change up, if it needs any changing or something like that.

Now the second easier part was having to draw the icon from the Mexican flag. This, of course, was done AFTER finishing the character itself and rendering him fully. It was a bit tricky, of course, but grabbing the same colours and doing out a rough sketch of the flag part itself, it made things pretty much easier.

Now, the harder parts:

The first hard part for me was mostly the reference, as it was black and white - it was quite hard to tell where the shadows were had to be 100% [in no way am I blaming the client for choosing that reference] ! But I worked it out and finished it, which pretty much satisfied me.

The second harder part was the face - especially the nose and lips part. If you've seen my fully rendered artworks, I *do not* draw noses fully and I render/shade them in only! This was the part that took me some time to fix up, but it all worked out and ended up looking great in my opinion. The lips part - since I also *do not* draw lips, I had to decide how I was going to make the teeth/mouth part(-s) pop out more. So I did what I thought was the best thing to do in that case scenario, and rendered a bit red-black around, trying to mimic the lips in a way it looks okay, as I do not know how to draw lips!

So that was all of the easier parts and the harder parts of finishing up this commission! I was and still am very happy to hear it from her that she loved it! I thank her for being my first customer in the digital art commission 'business' if I can call it in this scenario!

Hi, so if you're seeing this, you probably are because either:

1. you went into my boosty profile thingy;

2. you commissioned me using boosty;

3. just randomly found me;

So, you might be wondering what I'll be doing with this page. I'll most likely either post little mini-blogs where I talk about the easiest or/and hardest parts of drawing which commission;; I will obviously be asking for permission from the people if they're comfortable enough for me to share and write a mini-blog about the Work In Progress BTS.

I will also (with permission, ofcourse) add in the finished result, if possible at the bottom. That is only if it's possible and ONLY if I have permission to do it on here.

Obviously, I will firstly upload the artwork on my art page on TikTok (@notnoriginalusername), and only then, with permission - the mini-blog.

-- Small note, the first post I made, I only wanted to make sure I knew how posting worked, I have since deleted the post, as I didn't mean to accidentally publish it as public :')
