Originally completed on August 18th, 2010. Pash's design is different now, but I haven't made her new reference sheet yet. :C
If you're having trouble reading some of the text, go look at the larger version over on DA: http://aboveclouds.deviantart.com/art/Ref-Sheet-Pash-175929028
Hey look! I've finally finished Pash's reference sheet. I think I started on this back in ...June. Whoa. That is way too long. I didn't actually work on it the whole time if anyone's thinking that. I kinda dropped it for a whole month and yeah...
I didn't shade it because the majority response to my journal: http://aboveclouds.deviantart.com/j.....rnal/34115051/ was to leave it unshaded. Plus, I'm already insanely disinterested in this reference sheet, so I figure it's better to leave it unshaded and finish it now rather than shade it and finish it in October. heh.
Pash's back story is intentionally vague here. Most of the people who draw Pash draw her for an exchange, so I figure that they don't really need to know her whole back story for one picture. Plus, writing is hard for me so it'd take a lot of extra effort to make my back-story text-walls understandable. P:
Things I've learned from this:
-study your subject BEFORE you start drawing it. I can't tell you how many times I redrew ALL of the wings. Yes, ALL of them. Practice/know wings/feather placement before you draw a winged character, 4srs.
-Don't use the special oil brush for lineart. It does not make pretty lineart and it's a pain to clean up. Use the hard round brush or something. Actually, I'd like to know what that "something" is too 'cause the smaller hard round brushes (like 7 and below) comes out really anti-aliased/blurry in photoshop. :/
