I totally understand! When I develop a character before drawing them or having a firm headcanon of what they look like, I get more pedantic about how I draw them. It's pretty frustrating, really. But, if I design the character while I'm designing their personality and backstory, it makes it a lot easier for me.

When I requested a lot of art back when I didn't draw so much, I would find a lot that the artist didn't quite capture about my OC, which is one of the main reasons why I started improving my art so I could capture what I wanted. (And even still, I can't even capture it completely!)

I think you should keep on drawing! Even if you're not as experienced or skilled as other artists here, I think drawing is a really good skill to develop, and if you keep on drawing, you'll get better and surely you'll be able to capture the essense of your OCs soon. Also, if you post your art, as someone who draws, I could always offer critique on how to improve and that would be awesome.

I don't know what I'm really getting at here but:


 * Drawing is hard.


 * If you want to draw, draw. Even if it sucks, you should draw again to make it suck less.


 * Sometimes even the most detailed artist won't capture the true nature of an OC because they can't see inside your head but you can.


 * I seriously encourage you to draw because drawing is fun and I'll love to see how you imagine Quinn and Ark in your head!
