So I uh, did it again? A friend called this a Celestial design, so that's what they are now. My Celestial Gloves.

Paint is Jacquard Lumiere Metallic paint in the color 552 Bright Gold! Gloves are a pair that I probably got at a thrift store years ago??

Enjoy! I hope y'all like this pair as much as you liked the last one! :)

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

i wanted to post some artwork by an artist i've been thinking about lately, luciano ceschia! i'd come across his work when trying to research northern italian artists; he was born and worked in tarcento, udine.

i tried seeing if any of his work was posted to tumblr yet but i didn't see much, so i figured i'd fix that! i tried my best to source stuff but a lot of images i could find were on auction sites. his website, linked above, has a ton of wonderful images though, i'd suggest taking a peek at that!

the way he uses shape, line and hatching is so incredible; i think one of my favourite things i've seen in a while is his sculpture, cinghiale (also shown above). it's almost primordial?

the texture and sharp forms jutting out, the balance of skeletal and flesh, in both his drawings and this particular sculpture, are so satisfying. it's made me want to push my own work in terms of abstracting planes and forms.

So I know the quality sucks and we don't get any better quality to compare, but I just wanted to point out that, yes. Baby Carlo has freckles. Very few of them. But you can see the ones he had since he was a wee young lad standing out in his painting.

Go ahead and go into the game and stand in front of the portrait. Compare their faces. I'll wait c:

Here's a full/clean version of his portrait if you want to stare at it

So anyways like I was saying before--

how do you do fellow layton enjoyers

i've been in a lot of physical pain today, but i also am randomly obsessed with roman so i drew him a couple times because he's GREAT:

roman in a dresss >:]]]]] he has his sword and i may have drawn his feet backwards but shuuuush

judge roman is lovely :]

and also i drew him in his sweater because i've never done that. yeah. :] (also ignore his mouth idk why it looks like that TvT)

also a very shitty doodle of roman as a mummy from the halloween ep 💀

close up on the first drawing cause i worked hard on it, plus ref:

roman in a dress ahhhhhh he's so pretty

i also really wanted to do the one from halloween because i LOVE IT but i'm too tired and i want to make sure i do it justice.

Oops, I watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) for the 80th time and anyway here are some tender, pining, regency AU Terrible Kids.

Whew, Clip Studio has some sweet brushes!  It’s hard to switch art programs, but at least practicing gives me a gratuitous reason to draw more Tev and Dren.  As if I need one.  :P
