Birdman

If you are Star Trek (Lower Decks) fan, then this is :
Rawda - an Areore male. (See https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rawda)

The Areore were an ornithoid humanoid species

For others, this is bird like species with humanoid features (Look at the muscular arms, six packs, and hands like wing tips)

I had watched this episode long ago, and liked it very much. Mainly because it does not feature any of the regular characters, instead the main character is Peanut Hamper - an exocomp - who is stuck in a pre-warp civilization where everyone can fly (They actually have flying pigs, and a joke a about sky-snake. Watch the episode)

I have always liked simple drawing style of Star Trek Lower Decks - the first (and only?) Animated Star Trek series.

I will be drawing more characters from this series in near future.

Robot looking at the mobile

This image inspired by a cartoon appeared in the local newspaper.
I liked how simple drawing the robot was. (I'm always looking for simple-to-draw sketches)

For the first time, I used color (albeit very tiny, still..) The original sketch had light blue hue for the body of the robot, but I decided not to paint the whole sketch. Just the eyes to draw viewer's attention was enough.

This time also I used multiple layers. Pencil layer at first, then Ink layer.

At this point, I noticed that image is smaller for the entire canvas. So I enlarged the sketch using the lasso+transform tool. I couldn't have done this on paper. 🤷‍♂️

Then added name+date

Finally color for the eyes. (It was an after thought 😅)

I exported the pencil layer first and then final sketch. I had changed the size between the two steps. I wanted to enlarge the pencil layer as well. But I got an error that locked layer can't be exported (or something) The layer was not locked 🤷‍♂️. Need to figure it our some day.

Brendan and Al

These are two main characters of O Human Star Comic (https://ohumanstar.com/)

When I looked this comics, I really liked how simple the character faces were. So decided to see if I can draw them. I am likely to draw more characters from this comic in the future.

These two faces were drawn by looking at https://ohumanstar.com/comic/chapter-2-page-30/

This is the first time I used layers in HiPaint.

First layer is the a pencil drawing. I was surprised how "real" it felt. The graininess of the HB Pencil (when zoomed) looked close to actual marks made by HB pencil on the paper. (Drawing on the glass surface wasn't bad either - kudos to the hardware)

Then I created a separate layer for "Inking" (I feel like an imposter even using this term 🙈) I hid the pencil layer when exporting the final image.
