Second tiny update! Seeing a neutral Lou... feels unusual but nice.

I'll update again when I start lining. I'm halfway through phase 2! Exciting times!! I'm looking forward to testing my skill at free-handing. If it works out that means I can make drawings even faster! :D And if not, then at least I'm improving it.

Good evening all! What you see above are thumbnails for my upcoming Uglydolls comic! It's called "Lou's Doll Ecology Lesson!"

It's 15 pages long, and unlike my "Before Story" project, I do intend to complete this in a timely manner 😆 I'm hoping to finish in 3-4 weeks since the amount of detail isn't to the extent of my other comics.

To try and maintain that deadline this will be the only thing I'll work on, so no new posts for a while. I know it'll be worth it for my sake because it's what I think about when interpreting the characters' actions, and the script has been hanging out in my drafts for almost a year. But I hope you all like it too! See you in the future 🌟

Tiny update so you know I mean business 😤

It's going well! It could go better if my mouth didn't hurt so much from my recent braces adjustment, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Mint-choco macarons for the mint-choco haired boy! 🍃🍫

I actually called him Kiwi-Boy before learning his name but that's just me :9

#uglydolls #uglydolls nolan #he's wearing a ladies' top from 1913! #so chic. i think nolan would make a cute girl tho! #now to thumbnail those pages for my mini-comic!! i'm rusty #let's shoot for posting in 4 weeks! while it is a mini comic i'll be drawing quite a number of dolls #doesn't matter if the detail is little this time around

"Why are you going through all those books again, Nolan?"

"I'm trying to find a subject that interests me since I don't have a profession like the other Perfect Dolls. So I'm reading every magazine, encyclopedia, podcast... and... and cloudbooks..."

"Looks like you're a good reader! Your kid's a college student so he's good at reading too, huh? Nolan... Nolan!"

"...Hm- what??"

"Any books about being a good listener yet?"

"Uuhh... no. But I'll let you know so you can read it!!"

Of course a prestigious toy brand like Perfect Doll would have sponsorships that would promote education! I like to think that the dolls' items get duplicated in their realm when they're purchased in The Big World; books and subscriptions get purchased through the dolls and... magic makes them doll-sized or something- don't think too much about it! I know I'm not!

#uglydolls #uglydolls nolan #the colors are odd.one day i'll redraw this. i got discouraged when some layers got merged and i didn't realize it until i got too far ahea #so i just threw on orange overlay and stopped. i know NOW what to do but i'm no longer interested and i wanna move on lol #we get the idea anyway: nolan likes to read! #evidently in his underwear! i actually got so caught up in drawing his pose i forgot to draw his clothes before lining #so i added an extra line for his shorts... but i believe it for him so it works X)

When she's happy, she can't stop talking. 💙

#uglydolls #uglydolls tuesday #uglydolls nolan #where the felt pen curiosity started haha #waaay back in october!

I dedicate this cool-down drawing to donut bagels, Uglydolls, and especially Wang Chung! :D

Evidently these two have had a hold on me the past few posts lol

#uglydolls #uglydolls lou #uglydolls ox #long-story short i spent an evening hatescrolling this old artist's abandoned account #and then i possibly stumbled upon their new account #but after spending over an hour comparing both accounts' art styles and not concluding anything #i just blocked them and moved on. but i was still in a foul mood. what was the remedy? #drawing! but because of my mood i didn't have any concept so i just ''drew anything'' #kind of interesting to think what's at my core after such an experience haha #a grumpy blonde- a green rabbit- and an 80s song about partying #while a fun drawing session. lesson learned: let the proverbial sleeping dog lay!

🎼What do you get when your kid has weird tastes? 🎶

🎶Thinks that the lady's brown dress is real great? 🎶

🎶Then your two sisters decide to have fun 🎶

🎶Making your evening oh- so- done! (dun dun) 🎶

🎶A few months thinking what went wrong~🎶🎶🎶🎶

A heart-warming moment of brothers who LOVE EACH OTHER. ISN'T THAT RIGHT???

#uglydolls #uglydolls ox #uglydolls lou #i got tired of waiting all these years for the fandom to draw this so i took it upon myself #i'm not mad... just disappointed /jk #i don't know what it is about these felt and watercolor brushes lately but i can't stop experimenting with them #it's so freeing #dare i say it makes me feel like a kid again. only i can't put it to a memory but still i FEEL it. it feels nice! #that being said i do want to get back to my old coloring method soon for more rendered drawings #and i'll leave it at that!!

L'il bro trying to humor Big bro during his community service sentence (or whatever you wanna call it). Someone's cranky. But his tea water is still heating so he can't relax anyway :T

"I found these shiny shorts in the 'discontinued' pile in the shed. I don't see why, they definitely brighten MY day! Hahahe... Lou don't I look ridiculous-"

"You look STUPID."

*sad rabbit noises*

#uglydolls #uglydolls lou #uglydolls ox #i was drawing lou to depict his moodiness toward his situation #but then it just reminded me how my old coworkers used to try and talk to me during my break like i wasn't dealing with noise for two hours

Leap Year was made for Tuesday!

Happy Thursday!

"Marry me, Nolaaan! lol"

"Uuuh.... Okay!"

"Wait- wah?"

#uglydolls #uglydolls nolan #uglydolls tuesday #tuelan #noladay #did a Version 2 for the heckuvit and i was insecure about Version 1 after finishing #but now it's growing on me... #Version 1 reminds me of strawberry shortcake 😂

Woop-didee, I never posted these! 💃

These were part of a request thing I did on Instagram years ago. It all flooded back to me that I didn't save the files properly at the time so these are downloaded off my page lol Huh... I guess that's why they never made their way here.

#uglydolls #uglydolls mandy #uglydolls nolan #uglydolls lou #yes i forgot nolan's freckles please forgive me! i've drawn him ALL other times with them!! I still get an A! #i'm not a lou shipper so that's not a staple here. but you were probably aware of that already :p #but i make the exception to draw matching ''nolou'' and ''landy'' fanart for neutrality #of course that's just when the moment calls for it. like requests!

[yanguazalie]

My two favorite non-canon characters interacting! 💗💙

#uglydolls #uglydolls mandy #kind of a revisit to a similarly drawn pic #with the same song in mind haha

[yanguazalie]

*Doesn't draw for Valentine's Day, draws for Leap Year instead*

#uglydolls #uglydolls moxy #uglydolls ox #m.ox.y #i want to draw tuesday/nolan also #but drawing these two was easier lol #this is based on a vintage postcard btw #i did see a cute postcard ref for tuesday/nolan too #buuuut it may be in my best interest to do something original rather than refer to the obscure #even though obscurity is my jam i mean look where i am lmao #i'll cross that bridge when i come to it

[yanguazalie]

.💜💚💙.

#uglydolls #uglydolls tuesday #uglydolls nolan #not a valentine's pic obviously but today's my second-fave day of the year #and i wanted to celebrate just a tad bit #even with a drawing that's super months old #drew an otp and played with overlays until i felt better #well... a little better xD #sometimes the anxiety just has to go through and do its damage until it's bored #but yeaaaahhhh tuelan tuelan tuelan tuelan tuelan~~~~~~

Art experimentation 🧪

But okay lemme also ramble a little about my take on doll ecology since I may not do it properly anytime soon like I intended! In this ramble, The Eternal Thread!

*ahem*

So Lou was the very first doll to be created for Perfect Doll Co., without him the dolls made in the particular factory wouldn't have their sentience. Because while not intentional, he was sewn together with The Eternal Thread: a very unusual, invisible, and ancient organism that's existed as long as the universe has; an extraterrestrial line of elements that has collected enough variety to create a life form all its own if used effectively. The Eternal Thread does not have a beginning or end as it stretches across the vast universe undisturbed, until one day crossing paths with the planet Earth, tangled up on a human who had a hand at crafting and was sewing Lou together one day. Stitch by stitch this doll came together, and then came to life as The Eternal Thread pulsed through him upon completion. Eventually it was discovered this same thread could be sewn through other dolls to bring life to them as well- although less intricately compared to Lou. That would just take too much time to do the same thing, and there's a factory to run! With that being said, the dolls could very quickly become lifeless if The Eternal Thread is plucked off their stitching. In Lou's case, he would have to be taken completely apart, which isn't easy if only himself or an anomaly human can touch it.

#uglydolls #uglydolls lou #uglydolls moxy #uglydolls mandy #i had an idea for lou but mandy/moxy is just a random pose #i guess they could be coming to terms while in the pit? looking all melancholy...
