Sketch prompts!

[alias_sqbr]

I have a new graphics tablet after the last one broke, and Clip Studio Paint has updated in the mean time.

So give me some simple prompts to try them out! I'll be trying to do quick sketches since I think one reason I burned out a bit on art was being too perfectionist.

By "simple" I mean no more than two characters, no complex backgrounds etc. And either you give me an image reference or it's something I can look up easily without having to make many decisions.

Fanart or original. Nothing too sexy, squicky, or containing zombies(*).

Also, if you want, here's some new Clip Studio Paint features I want to try out that you can add to your prompt:

• A pose from Posemaniacs (you can upload them to the in-built 3d characters)
  
• An image with colours you like, to apply as a colour scheme.
  

(*)I only have a problem with the mindless contagious sort, or really gross decay. Possessed/controlled corpses or skeletons are fine, and vampires are A+.

I thought about requesting something for a common fandom (so many options!), but I'm pining for the days when I could spare the time for original fiction and decided to go with that. You've already done two of my lead characters + their dragon pal, so I figured I'd ask for the third, lol.

This character, Loraya, is also 13 and wears the same outfit as the other two, but with a green ribbon around her hair. I can send you a more specific description/image of her, but she is much taller than the others (if Google conversions can be trusted, a bit over 180 cm), and considered very beautiful, with curly black hair, deep brown skin, freckles, and green eyes. You don't need to include "magical" details or any particular background, but if it's helpful, her magical powers mainly involve necromancy, telekinesis, and plant magic (she loves gardening and is particularly fond of violets). In RL terms, her ancestry is West African, East Asian, and Northern European. She's melancholy and extremely anxious for backstory reasons, as well as very kind and gentle, and this pose struck me as very suitable! https://www.posemaniacs.com/tools/viewer/poses/01H1R7XMXSKE97BXA616Y94N16

What kind of violet? There's a few flowers with that name, and even though they're all similar it'll bug me if it might be the wrong sort :)

Haha, I understand! Google tells me it's officially the viola tricolor.

Here you go! https://alias-sqbr.tumblr.com/post/750007401551413248/isabel-lunnens-character-loraya-a-melancholy

Once I had the pose sketched out I went "Hmm that's some big empty spaces in the corners... FLOWERS!" hence it being important I got the type of violet right :)
