Alright folks I'm gonna day it. I'm tired and bored of how I color my art and actually, I don't like how it looks and I have a piss poor understanding of color theory (I didn't go to art school and I'm 95% self taught, so sue me).

I am going to be watching an obscene amount of art tutorials and experimenting a lot, so bear with me while I try and figure some shit out and hopefully I come out of this with a better understanding of color theory and more dynamic and fun ways to render my artwork (and also with a better appreciation for my art).

The goal is to actually enjoy coloring my art instead of dreading every second of it, let's fucking do this 😤

I'm deep in the sauce of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

sketched some wangxian fanart but bear with me as I'm still trying to get a hang of drawing these characters (and they'll look better in the future I promise)

Lan Wangi's hair is very hard to draw :')

Last sketch is based off of The Untamed's Wei Wuxian

So I've decided to rewatch "The Untamed" and also thought I'd like to read the books for the first time. Anyway, I'm completely obsessed and this series has turned into my personality for the time being. I forgot how much I love these characters and this world and everything about it (and omg the books are so much gayer, I'm in love)

Had to do a quick sketch Lan Zahn's back and chest scars. Can't hand me a scarred up traumatized character and expect me not to draw him.

The second sketch was done in like 5 minutes so its not the best, and the Wen Clan insignia is not 100% accurate, but sshhhh its fine

The colors in your CATS art are so rich and pretty! I love them! 😍

OMG THANK YOU!!! I'm happy you like them, I always try to make my art vibrant but its such an insecurity of mine, your message just made my whole night thankyou!!

A colored sketch commission completed for someone over on instagram!

Was tasked to draw 1998 Bomba, Demeter, and Munk! The person who commissioned me needed to give a presentation at a con that talked about online safety and stalking, and it needed to incorporate a fandom they were a part of! So I got to draw this piece to help with their presentation!

It was SO FUN getting to work on Cats art again, I really (really) missed drawing these characters!

Girl are you the Hays Code the way you consider media irredeemable if it depicts anything that strays away from the norm you're comfortable with or depicts anything morally questionable without definitively condemning it and anyone associated with it, therefore creating worse stories and content and making it difficult for people to engage with complicated issues from a nuanced and controlled perspective?

does anyone else get tired of, like.........Advice Posts and Videos Of Tips. 10 Mistakes Beginner Artists Make!!!! Draw Hands FAST!!!! Art HACK!!!! Roasting My Art From SIX MONTHS AGO!!!! I've been using colored pencils all WRONG?!?!?!?!! like I'm sure there's useful stuff in there but so much of it has this bent of capitalizing on people's insecurity ykwim? it's like...the beauty industry but for young artists who don't want people to make fun of them on tiktok.

"I will choose to breathe my last... Here. At the bottom of an ocean. Unseen. Unheard. Uncontrolled. They will get their execution. I will get my freedom."

I'm so beyond excited for Markiplier's upcoming movie, Iron Lung! I loved the second trailer so much, I couldn't help but draw something from it.

This was fun to do! Usually when I do something like this, I use at least some lineart, but I didn't do that at all here and it was actually really nice, and something I want to do again.

This dynamic is so incredibly important to me
