OC Realism vs StylizedIf you tend to draw in a style, try to draw your OC ‘realistically’! (Or as close as possible). Template is optional. I am sure this challenge has been made before but I didn’t see it and I wanted to do it myself! Got the idea from a thread in the community on Artfol.
It doesn’t have to be perfectly realistic or more than a sketch if you prefer, it just really depends on how far you want to take the challenge. The point is to try to
A. Draw in a realistic style/proportions to the best of your inclination and
B. Imagine and draw your OC as realistically as you can.
I found (as someone who doesn’t do realism) it helps me to find a reference photo of a person, model or celebrity, (or yourself/whomever inspired them) that looks similar enough to your oc if possible, with drawing realism. But everyones different, thats just a thing that helped for me

I remember I did this same self-imposed challenged back in July. I should try it again

It sounds like a nice challenge, even though realism is not my thing, I'm going to try it.

This seems like a very fun challenge. I am about to dust off my realism style. 
It's gonna take me a while to do it, but I'm joining! Just gotta pick a character.

YOU BET I'm doing this, I already have trouble deciding between the two when I draw my characters so this just perfectly scratches that itch (Though I might push each one more for this)
