Let’s Draw/Sketch: Baby Vegeta - 1st form

I’d like to see more artists making threads like this because I think this could help us all improve on our art. But anyway, here’s the subject that we’re going to recreate:

And here’s my recreation of it:

It took 7 minutes because I had the image pulled up on my phone, which has a tiny screen, and I had to keep changing the facial structure lol. I’m not entirely happy with it but I am glad I attempted it. Also, I’d like to see your recreations of the subject, so post them.

But redrawing existing images isn't really a good idea if you want to improve

It can help hone your style. Even if it’s imitation, I know I certainly wasn’t good at drawing DBZ nor anything else at the beginning of the year. Eventually, you find ways to simplify visually complex art styles and it becomes second nature. And don’t get me wrong, anime isn’t as complex as drawing real people but I’m used to stick figures at the most lol. Also, some people can’t draw good from memory alone but if they have a subject in front of them, they can “recreate” it better than if it hadn’t been there.

That's true, I used to redraw pics too but it was a long time ago. But it's better to use multiple reference pics to understand how the thing you're drawing "works" from different angles etc.

Undoubtedly; I can update the OP with more reference pics if you want. Care to take a swing at it?

Well, my style is quite different from DB's but I can draw him somewhat stylized, sure.

You can try to recreate the DB style or utilize your own. I decided to recreate the DB art style.
