So it's come to my attention that it's been a long, long time since the last time I tried to draw Kirby. And by long, I mean... Hell... 5 or 6 years? Well before I started taking art and drawing seriously, at least. Well, I have been getting much more into the series in recent months, and I figured with Star Allies coming out yesterday, now was prime time to give the little guy a shot!



You've probably noticed he's looking a bit pudgier than usual. No, he's not eating something (or someone). I just always thought Kirby would look extra cute with a bit of cheek meat (you could make more or less any cute character even cuter with a bit of cheek meat, really), but there isn't a whole lot of fanart of that, so you know what they say - If you want something done, do it yourself. Drawing him with little bouncy cheeks was fun, but I miiiiiiiiiiiight've gone a bit overboard... May or may not tone it down next time I draw him. Also, space eyes. You can't deny space eyes.



Oh, and also... Multi-layered shading! In most of my art I only use one layer of shading, sometimes even just one colour. But when I tried to do the same here, it came out kinda bland and boring. Multi-layered shading is something I've wanted to try for a while now, and Kirby's simple design gave me a chance to dabble into that a little bit, and yeah, this is definitely something I'm gonna try a bit more often. Not only does it make everything look way cooler and more professional, but it even accentuates the cheeks a little bit! <3



That's all from me. Enjoy!



Kirby belongs to Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. I own nothing.
