Hey Neyla! I hope it’s ok that I ask but is there a brush setting you prefer on procreate? I’ve been inspired by your art for eons but I can’t comprehend photoshop. You can totally disregard this if you don’t use procreate though!
Hello! I don't know how long this message's been sitting in my inbox because i didnt check in for a while 🥺 I hope you get to see this either way!
I don't use procreate unfortunately, but I can explain the settings I use for my brushes on CSP in general, and if it works like any other art software then you should have similar settings on procreate
for sketches/linework, I will very often use an opaque & slightly textured round brush. the most important for me is for the brush to have that fuzzy sort of texture that gives the impression of using a pen/marker on paper.
note that i am actually terrible when it comes to line weight, it's definitely not something i work on a lot other than in backgrounds, so I don't actually bother too much with pen pressure settings.
the only rule I abide to is to always set the minimum value above 0 (anywhere between 20-30 is what I use). this is because when I started drawing, I used to be very heavy-handed and would wear out my pens too quickly-- so setting a minimum can help you become more aware of how hard you're pressing on your pen and make gentler strokes.
another fun little setting i use is opacity: like I said, I use opaque brushes for lines, but I like to reduce a tiny bit of opacity when brushing very lightly to give that impression of pen on paper.
There's a couple more brushes I use for coloring or rendering; the major sticking point being that I don't use pen pressure to control brush size that much. If I want to make thinner/smaller strokes, I'll simply reduce the brush size because it's easier for me to control!
(also, opacity is something I'll use a lot more when I'm working on colors)
just know that this is my way of handling it, and it may not suit your style. pen pressure may be another artist's best friend, so please make sure you try out what works best for you :)
finally, some art softwares come with stabilization. I don't use it personally, unless i'm actually trying to do really smooth curves (which is practically never). stabilization can also make CSP lag a lot with higher values and large brushes. the use of stabilization doesn't make you a bad artist or a lazy one, and not using it can make your lines look a tiny bit wobbly if you're not used to doing quick strokes. use stabilization at your own leisure!
on a different note, i know this wasn't part of the question but I'm bringing this up since it's something I tend to hear from people who say they were inspired by my art (thank you by the way🥺💕!!) : don't be misled by artstyles that "make it look easy"! my sketches may look very simple and natural because i'm more adept at bringing out the essential and discarding details in a design. this is not necessarily what you want for your art style; maybe you like drawing details a lot, maybe you prefer the lazy way out going straight to the point. neither are good or bad, only what you like to do matters.
also, if you're frustrated by your work, don't be afraid to draw over it as many times as you want, adjusting things with the lasso tool or deform if something feels off then drawing over again. sometimes you'll be satisfied with your first take, and sometimes you'll need 3 bases before its acceptable (examples below)-- it all depends on your mood, energy, motivation, desired outcome, format, or even just randomness
oh and, sometimes the best way to enjoy drawing..is to find something to obsessively draw (,:
take care!

Hello! I just wanted to compliment your art style becuase it's so wonderful and comfy looking. I also wanted to ask, do you have any advice for other more beginniner artists?
If not, totally OK. Keep doing what you're doing!
:3
hello! tysm!!
idk what specific advice would be helpful for you, so heres some general stuff!
for my colour palettes i generally just generate palettes from paintings/art i like in procreate! idk if there are websites that can do this for u if u dont use procreate i imagine so? i dont often 100% stick to one palette for a piece, but sometimes i like to challenge myself to! its a good way of making you use colours u dont usually do. i find having a good range of palettes to choose from helps me decide what kind of vibe i want for a piece! something i always do when colouring is do a warm yellow underpaint under everything - this is partially so i can do 'alpha locks' for ease but also it gives everything a nice consistent undertone which helps! if im not sure on a palette when im doing the line art i will purposely not shade in sections to give me more wiggle room with the colour choices.
for drawing people i feel as though i should recommend doing figure drawing but i. do not do that so DJBSDKDB i hate figure drawing so much. when i draw people i just tend to take photos of myself in the pose i want and then if needs be look at some reference images of people w the body type i am drawing and then merge the two in my sketch. i like to look at shapes the body makes and exaggerate them - making things more round or more pointy. for both bodies and faces i dont think too hard about life like proportions - i just hve fun with it! whatever suits the character!
for general inspiration i use pinterest a lot - here are some sc's of some of my main insp board! and a link to my account if u are. curious i guess

nyanyame nyanyajyuu nyanya do no nyarabi de nyaku nyaku inyanyaku nyanyahan nyanyadai nyan nyaku nyarabete nyaganyagame- or short about how I feel myself for the third wednesday in a row..)
I’ll say again that I love your work, let’s go.
1. oke, do your characters have an approximate age? I know you were already replying to a similar question, but you said that it would be a spoiler. soooo... how about now? are you ready to show your cards??
2. I remember ferry making headcanons on the voices of pafl characters. do you have something like that? like... are there any songs that you associate with adm characters voices? or maybe the vocaloids that you use would be suitable for this roles?
3. I would like to know a little more about daily interactions between misha and andrey. what could it have been before misha got into a time loop? these two "hate eachother basically"(©my fav pic), right? was it something like the cold war and them trying to ignore each other's existence, accompanied by contemptuous glances? or maybe frequent and loud quarrels?? OR maybe they pretended that everything was fine and there was no tension whatsoever, but any of them often irritated the other one or threw caustic phrases in order to offend him???
4. and in general, how did this hatred arose? how did it begin? did something suddenly happen, ruining the calm relationship? accident?? or guys didn't get along from the beginning for some reason??? (god I love these two, I need to know everything *NotLikeThis NotLikeThis*)
(I hope I managed to fit it into less space, huh? . . . okay, but this time there are four sketches! see? no need to hit me, enki, god, please, no!!!)
(eh.. I kindly ask you not to take these..... concept arts(??) in full high, as well as headcanons(???) on misha's teeth and eyes of boiis(<зз), seriously. these are just silly things that I thought about briefly and my wife and I thought it was interesting (however, if you don't mind these ideas, I'd like to know what you think about them.....!! (*´∇`)ﾉ))
(and also, I had to greatly simplify the design of the dyusha's clothes for myself because... I spent a too much time, trying to copy the horror that happens in the canon art, but I SWEAR TO GOD I almost burst into tears, because nothing worked *laughter that turns into the start of a nervous breakdown*)
(I.. should probably be very ashamed for the last sketch, and... to be honest, yes, that’s it, I’m ashamed. (IT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ANDREY IS BEING MOCKED INSTEAD OF HIM GETTING A SINCERE COMPLIMENT) but my wife made me show this to you, so...... *blinks twice*)
i want to say they are around 20-25 yrs old
after thinking about this for awhile i cant think of any good voiceclaims for my characters..... but i might make one in the future now that i am reminded that that is a real thing
its like a love hate releationship but mostly hate
maybe ill reveal what happened between them in a future song or maybe not. it can also be kinda inferred from the current songs i think
the sketches are so cute!! you have such a fun and silly style and i love seeing my characters come to life :) ty

How do you draw up your comics so quickly? I've been wanting to get into making comics myself, but it seems so daunting lol
Was hoping to get some tips on how you draw them so well and so quickly /pos /nf
Omf that's a tough one. My honest first response is "All I do is draw all day" so please don't hold yourself to my standards I don't have anything better to be doing.
Basically it's a mix of stuff:
My art style is simple/character designs are simple.
Backgrounds are simple, overall.
STUFF BE SIMPLE.
"Gets the point across" tends to be the idea.
Anatomy isn't perfect, gradients are used a lot, shading isn't always present, I try to limit my color pallets to be pretty small.
I have a bunch saved onto the side bar in Clip Studio. And I have presets like the borders of the panels as a pre-set so I don't gotta make a new one over and over again.
Short cuts are NOICE.
Art wise:
I start with a thumbnail. Just getting the idea/facial expressions of the character down.
Sketching is 2nd step but I have no examples because I delete those pretty quickly.
More similar to this so line art is WAY easier.
I change the sketch's opacity to like 20 ish and a light blue to see it better.
Then I do line art and add a neutral color under it to make coloring easy. I change this to black after ward to fill any gaps.
Add color and ba-bam
I use "Color burn" "linear burn" and Multiply in the layer settings for shading. Just depends on the circumstance.
I guess smth else I do is go by "Chapter" or scenes.
Smth that's helpful for some is writing a script and then drawing your stuff based on that.
Often what I end up doing is writing a script but using it as a guide rather than a beat by beat thing.
Referencing manga for inspiration is smth I do a lot.
Smth I'd recommend doing is making a one shot or a comic you purposely make to be short.
Longer comics are daunting but the best way to deal with that is to complete parts of em. XD It's like going through a video game. Beating each mini boss gets you closer to the final. Like instead of one big project, see it as a bunch of smaller ones.
Smth I do to let off steam from bigger projects is making stupid shit like this:
Like there's no point to it other than to be dumb and funny.
Keeping the story entertaining or fun even while doing a part you don't want too.
Sometimes you will just have to chug through a portion you dislike but is necessary. But staying strong really helps.
Pop on a freakin' YT video and zone the hell out is what I do.
Your art doesn't have to be perfect every single time, my comics at least, are free so anyone who complains is a little bitch.
Just do what makes you happy.
Huge thing to consider: Your art doesn't have to be held to any specific standard.
You don't even have to COLOR that shit if you don't want too lmao. There's no rules. You can color a sketch and post it. It literally doesn't matter.
A specific standard of what every webcomic should be held to is a lie. It doesn't exist. Go feral.
Draw backgrounds. Even if you suck at em. It helps give the world dimension hah.
That's what I've been trying to do.
Use your comics as a way to experiment.
Ghost Soulmate I wanted to try out this weird painter style for the shading/lighting.
In FSR it was trying out a more anime style
Falling Cards is weird character designs + A FAR too ambitious story hah.
Bunny and Kitty was to see if I could do a shorter form story.
Biggest advice would be: Just try smth. You got no obligation to finish smth either. Just try it and see how it goes.
I'd recommend having an idea where your story is going before you start, but just starting ANYWHERE helps.
I tend to doodle my characters before I jump into their comic. Doodle them doing fun stuff before I go into the meat and potatoes of what I want them to do. I often have an ending in mind too before I start. You can fill in the gaps later.
Anyways that's all I got Idk if this was useful or helpful. X'D

Eyeless Jack
When you arrived at the mansion almost everyone knew immediately
Even Jack, who spends his time locked away either in the medical wing or in his room
You have a very....loud personality to say the least
The first time he ever meets you, it's after you tripped in the garden and scraped your knee
With the way you were screaming one could've sworn you had your leg chopped off
Oh and don't get him started on when he tried to clean the wound
Once you had calmed down enough to actually sit still and let him fix you up, that's when you got started about how "horrid" the medical bed you were sitting on was
A princess like you deserves better than some hard, cold table with thin paper carelessly spread over the surface
Jack doesn't indulge in your snarky comments, and instead focuses on carefully placing a band aid on your knee ("It has to have unicorns!")
Whenever Jack sees you around the mansion, it is typically when he's getting some extra food
You tend to enjoy commenting on how "greasy" he looks
And occasionally he'll allow you to at least file his claws down to silence your constant begging to make him "look like a proper gentleman"
You certainly humble him, that's for sure
Ticci toby
When Toby first hears about you, he assumes it will be another situation like Sally's
Just a small child, so sad and confused as to where they are, what's happening and why it's all happening to them
Boy, was he wrong
The second you arrived you made it known that you weren't going to take nothing from nobody
He kind of respects you for that tbh, you go kid!
He tries his best to make a good impression, offering to play dolls or bake sweets
You, of course, are not up for it
"Those dolls look as if they've been burnt in a house fire and baking is servant's work."
A small piece of you is pleased that someone is actually making an effort to make you happy
Then again, everyone should be trying to make you happy
Toby tends to be the one you hang around the most
Only because he'll do practically anything if you ask nicely enough
"Tobias, go get me a blanket for my afternoon nap, pretty please"
"Well, since you said please...."
Jason the Toymaker
Jason thinks you are the sweetest little thing
He doesn't seem to see that selfish, egotistical side of you like the others do
You are a perfect little angel in his eyes
And a wonderful model
To go with your lavish lifestyle, you need new dresses quite often
And since Jason is so good at sewing, and is great with children, you tend to gravitate towards him
He senses your style so well too!
You give him a messy sketch and he executes it so perfectly
Even his suggestions are up to your standards
"I was simply loving this pattern you wanted, but instead of maroon how would you feel about gold trimmings?"
You have such a wonderful array of choices thanks to him
Of course, there are moments where you can't wear your fancy dresses (For example when you are working)
The day you got your uniform you downright refused to wear such a hideous outfit
But Jason managed to fix it up so that you at least managed to wear it

do you have any drawing tips? i'm just starting out and your style inspires me to keep going fr!!
HIYA !!! thank you that is so kind of you, i would say to keep drawing with references and do studies!! typically art studies (in like art school lol) are of old masters (da vinci, etc) but doing studies of styles that you like, like trying to copy a certain artist you like, also helps you develop skills !!
for example, lots of people (especially fanartists lol) do studies of artists like leyendecker while making the models their favorite characters/ocs, so it helps to make studies fun. literally look up leyendecker study on tumblr dot com and you will see hundreds.
(gets a bit long and rambly so i've thrown it under the cut :')
style studies can be anything! above was done while watching wolfwalkers, just loose sketches that copied the style as the movie went along. i love the design and style in that film, wanted to incorporate it in my character design work, so i tried it out myself! it let me know the kinds of shapes used in the construction, the way it moves (wrt to animation) and silhouettes. by copying something, you learn how to do it on the way (so the kinds of colors used, what works best with shading, etc) it's like. reverse engineering
even very loosely copying something to identify what you like about the style helps! these were modelled after the way slimsense on ig paints (her work is 2nd + 4th examples below, my attempts at 'paint' 1st and 3rd lol), but doesn't really look like her work. i'm not necessarily trying to make perfect copies. i liked that her paint didn't blend perfectly, was blocky, and the additional lineart over the painting, so i brought that into my own art. i tried to create a painting style that was 'my own' off of lots of trial and error, and seeing what stuck!
also find brushes you like! adobe has a bunch on their page (if you have photoshop, but i know there's some for procreate and other programs) and if you want the adobe brush files, lmk. i will send a drive link to you LOL (sketches of the same characters, using different brushes below. the two i used the most often, one being a solid inker and the other being a paintbrush)
generally doing figure drawing is good too. i've heard advice about art where you can only start breaking the rules after you understand them, and a good grasp on anatomy, proportions, etc is definitely a good place to start! good sites to use for this are line of action for poses, and the morpho books (if you need pdfs of this let me know, though you should be able to find them if you look lol) !
i would also say learn perspective early on. i have no tips for you here i am so sorry. i didn't and now it bites me in the ass, but there has to be a youtube tutorial for this out there that can help you AND me. same goes for color theory. quickly dropping my favorite van gogh quote of all time:
(quote is from a letter to his brother) just everyone needs the fundamentals first. don't worry about a personal style: that just comes naturally as you develop as an artist, and i was certainly inspired by a lot of the things i watched/consumed and artists i admired which absolutely shows in my work i think (manet. western comics. fma. avatar. pjo fanart. there are tells. you know how it is.)
also flip your canvas !!! like see below ... frankly this marcille is so lopsided (her entire face should shift to the left) LOL !! flipping horizontally makes the anatomy mistakes obvious, and shows you you what you need to fix. i should never have posted this as is but sometimes it works for humor and an artist is lazy </3
AND ALWAYS USE REFERENCES WHEN YOU CAN!! i should use more references tbh!!! it helps with posing, getting anatomy correct, etc, and my friends use pinterest a lot, though i tend to just google when i need to LOLLL
also draw what you like. there is genuinely nothing that is better for your art than getting into something REALLY BAD and then non stop drawing it. time + practice will lead to improvement no matter what the subject is!
i hope this was not too much information all at once !!! and some of it is helpful!!! it's a lot of basic improvement tips that i try to practice and use when i can :) so sorry that this got so long!!!!
#everyone and their mother is doing leyendecker studies like i should do one too#i would also kind of say 'find out how you like to draw'#i feel like lots of artists start by thinking you have to be able to do perfect realism but its not necessarily true#realism ofc helps. like ive said. its the foundation to start and it's good to know proportions and such#but if you realise you like to paint more like a impressionist than a preraphaelite . then its fine! just keep creating!#textposts that are like 'you should be creating for yourself and possibly 5 others who are into the same niche shit as you'#its true!!!!!!!!#this is actually so rambly. if this is not what you meant please let me know#i am also still learning and trying to get better. grind never stops. the only grind im happy to keep going at#answered#anon#also ok not sure also if there are manet tells . like there honestly arent but still. his art changed me.#ok goodnight. i shouldnt be awake. best of luck anon :)

My Typical Art Process✨🌈
Was gonna reply to anon with this, but figured it was a bit too unrelated so I'll make a separate post! I do kinda wanna share my process anyway for anyone curious. I made something similar for twitter once but I no longer use twitter and my style has changed since then so here's a new one!
Tl;dr I draw for fun only and I have learned that textures and overlays and post-processing can do a LOT when it comes to making something look more "complete" while also not taking a lot of additional time. This is just my personal style spawned from my laziness and my love of harsh colors😆
I'll put it below the cut because it's long!
So to begin with, when I doodle (as opposed to a proper drawing that I take my time on) this is my typical "lineart":
I just draw the… what do you call it? The under parts… Like the circle and shapes, etc. to get the pose. Then lower the opacity and do another sketch on top of that. Then I lower the opacity of that and do ANOTHER sketch on top. 😆 I do that as many times as necessary until it looks like something. I don't worry a ton about anatomy or messiness or stray lines, it's just for fun to get an idea out of my head :)
Sometimes I also leave the under-sketches in or sometimes I turn the layer off. For this one I left them in.
Then I turn on all my textures, overlays, and H/S/L correction layer and crank the saturation up. The selected colorful layer was something I made once and saved it as an image material so I can just slap it on any time as an overlay. You will see it in almost all of my art, she's my beloved crutch and also I just like it lol. Other than that, I sometimes use paper textures that CPS came with and sometimes I make a perlin noise layer with the smallest grain size and set it to 'soft light'.
I also have recently been using a manga screentone overlay that comes with CSP.
Then I start coloring underneath!
This is how it looks without all of the blinding colors and textures I put there to distract you from the mess lol
Even in ones where I DO put in effort and try to use better anatomy and clean up a lot of the scribbles I pretty much never use clean lineart simply because I cannot be bothered 🤷🏾♂️ I don't really do anything different here, I just spend more time one it:
Also, even then the overlays and textures do a lot of the heavy lifting. Some of the overlays and effects I draw myself like the rainbow boarders around them and of course the doodle hearts. I don't draw backgrounds very often but I don't like an empty background so overlays or little doodles or text effects typically go there.
I should also mentions that I use the lightroom mobile app to further enhance all of my art, as shown above in the before and afters. I don't really have much to say on this point. I used to use lightroom mobile a lot when I did doll photography and I pretty much just wing it based on what I learned doing that. I like to mess with the texture settings and do masking edits to change the foreground and background independently to get better color balances. Like a bozo I pay for the subscription but I bet you could use any old editing app.
Oh, and I do pretty much everything with these brushes here. I got them a while back when they were free for 48 hours but unfortunately they are no longer free and cost 80 clippy now :( Should also warn you that they saturate any color and idk how to stop it from doing that so I just adjust the color accordingly before using or edit in post. Very nice though!!
Some other (free) things I like and use a lot:
Warm color set
Watercolor paper texture (free)
Cloud brushes
Watercolor auto action
Real paper textures
Prism brushes
Freckle brush
Aaaaand that's basically it!

1 - 23 :3
cracks knuckles
okay
1. how would you describe your art style?
uhhhhhhhh, maybe "safe" is the word rn. whenever I think of my art style, what comes to mind is just how little I've been pushing things with it. I wanna change that ;D
2. what's your favorite thing about your style?
I realize I like to use semi-realistic proportions, its cool how comfortable I've gotten with drawing faces and bodies
3. what's your least favorite thing about your style?
It's so static man. same thing I said for the first question, I don't think anything really looks bad, but it just is lacking in creativity in comparison to the older art that should be looking worse than what I do now. I prefer my older stuff ;D (looking at you inktobertale2021.. where did it all go wrong)
4. favorite thing to draw?
regular ol people. human characters are def more in my comfort zone, which explains why I keep hitting skeletons with the humanization ray (also I prefer to draw feminine characters)
5. least favorite thing to draw?
I can't even say I rlly dislike it cuz of how rarely I even do it, but I am procrastinating so hard on learning backgrounds..
6. warm colors or cool colors?
cool colors are my fav, but i find it easier to work with warm ones (I used to put a cool overlay over all my warm toned drawings hgdhfg)
7. show us a WIP
behold, the wip ever. this drawing... was supposed to be posted on august 2022. and then, it was supposed to be posted on dec 21st, dream and nightmares birthday. (atp if I do end up wanting to finish this idea again, I'll probably just scrap it and start over)
8. what's the most fun and least fun parts about your process?
most fun is flat color and rendering. (though I rarely do the latter anymore) and for least fun, tbh a lot of the sketching part tends to be difficult for me, sometimes its cool tho
9. show us a finished piece alongside the original sketch
example from when sketching was fun
10. how many different sketches do you usually have until your piece is finished?
I think I do need to make more of at least thumbnail sketches tbh.. I usually just make one and keep editing it, trusting the process. (and that fails like 70% of the time. woww wonder why sketching isnt fun for me-)
11. show us the last thing you drew, be it a finished piece or a small doodle
can this count,,
12. show us an old drawing
first deltarune drawing. here's the redraw I later made of this :3 (also old hsgdhgf)
13. how long do you usually take one a piece?
depends. I'll have like 276478923 wips started, and then I get a random idea that I just have to do right at that moment, and I'll get it done in like 1-4 hours. meanwhile old sketches start to rot and maybe if its lucky I'll revisit it before my motivation dies and my style is too different to wanna continue from where I left off
14. digital or traditional?
digital all the way, i've gotten too dependent on the transform tool + liquefy ;D (and many other things tbh but I'd be here all day if I tried comparing them more jhdjdf)
15. if digital, what program do you use?
procreate, the layouts on other drawing programs scare me
16. favorite media to work with when drawing traditionally
pen on paper (am I understanding this right wdym media-)
17. what do you love getting compliments about?
I like when people enjoy the humanizations I come up with, and also original designs in general
18. are you satisfied with the attention your art usually gets?
hmmm yeah
19. how often do you draw?
very often, I just don't have finished things to share most days
20. a piece from this year that you're really proud of
:3
21. something you would like to improve on
the dynamicness (well, the lack of it) of everything, as said before
22. what inspires you?
Ink sans and a ton of creators in this fandom (also animated shows and movies, I love animation)
23. what's something you hope people notice when looking at your art?
idk tbh, just notice it at all and I'm happy :>
#shy rambles#ask game#long post#twinribbonz#yaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy#another sign to look for more references#my problem may be going from imagination too often

Hi! Anon from before who asked about fluidity and such, I have another question: How do you learn to angle heads / do different perspectives?
Did you take classes, use 3D models, or something else?
So sorry for all the questions, I really want to get better at angles and posing and such - facial expressions are a breeze for me, but I just can't keep proportions, anatomy, or poses right in my head.
TL,dr, how did you learn about all this stuff?
Don't be sorry! Asking questions is how u learn! Lil disclaimer that i'm sorry in advance if this answer seems kinda vapid and lackadaisical :")
I've never taken art classes of any kind in my life. A lot of what I know is from observing how other artists draw and tweaking their processes to something that'll suit my workflow and style better. I admittedly don't use 3D models as often as I should, but they speed up the process IMMENSELY. Sometimes i'll load up a model posing program and use it for just the hands/fingers LOL. It's actually helped me be more aware of how to segment parts of the body so I can "memorize" them a bit better. I actually cannot picture most things in my head properly, so I struggle with keeping tabs on proportions and angles of shapes and poses mentally too 😭
A fun lil trick I do to help with head angles tho that might help is i'll draw a "sheet" of paper over my main head form:
For some reason, i've found that this helps me visualize where the face goes and where it fits within a 3D space. As long as i know the general direction the oc is facing, I can bend and stretch stuff to fit as need be. IDK it's a simple way for me to keep track while drawing, and pretty effective too! 👇🏽
ok these are sloppy n off model a bit, but hopefully you can see what i'm getting at ghjsdfg. I've found making the "sheet" bigger/smaller to suit whatever you're drawing can help narrow down the angle better if you're struggling. Thinking of the construction of shapes and how they sit in a 3D space is helpful too. Most art programs have perspective rulers that you can use to keep a kind of guide of where your drawing is sitting on a perspective plane/grid. I use them when trying to do more dynamic postures!
Other than that, I literally just google/youtube whatever it is i'm trying to work on and click through as many resources as I can. Make notes of what works for me, what doesnt, what I can pick apart and reconstruct. I got my start in art by tracing other people's art onto printer paper when i was younger (never shared 'em, obvs) before learning people posted step-by-step processes of how they draw on dA (it's how I learned what "guidelines" where and how to use them in sketching) and using those. I spent a lot of my more formative years just mimicking other people's drawing habits and quirks until I found a set that worked for me, and expanded on that with just messing around in my spare time. Sometimes the only thing that helps is working through it until I get a result I like.
If you are looking for a more technical approach and wouldn't mind some critique on your stuff, I recommend a site called Drawabox.com ! I've never personally used it, but I have artist friends who have, and while it does cost a fee to access some of the video lessons, there are still a bit of free resources you can take a peek on that might help!!
SORRY FOR THIS LAME ANSWER HFGSHDF I have a very flippant approach to my art. Work smart, not hard as I always say 👌🏽👏🏽
Good luck!!

Hello!! Just stopping by to say
1. Happy Valentine’s day!
2. Some notes I’ve had about you over my time knowing/following you…
Your art is absolutely amazing. It’s so unique and has so much personality and character, it’s so beautiful. The way you do lighting, the way you make poses is fantastic, it’s something I wish I could replicate in my art! I love the way you color and your facial expressions. I’m not super adept at art terms, I just sketch for fun, but I do know that your art is amazing and you should definitely be valuing it more than you do ❤️
And another thing that is maybe less important but I do think it often: you are very beautiful. Both your body and your face and hair. Everything about you has a certain grace and style and just in general, you are very beautiful and charming. Your clothing style is also very appealing! It’s very fashionable. I maybe wouldn’t say it’s trendy. But in my opinion that’s a good thing! You have a style that’s unique to you and it adds very well to your natural beauty. I admire it a lot! I think it all compiles into something very wonderful to look at ❤️
I hope this isn’t too inappropriate or invasive for me to say. Just wanted to let you know your art is dope, your fashion style is sick, and you’re very pretty! Happy Valentines Day from Egypt! \(^ヮ^)/
Awwwwwwwwwwwww my friend i am crying ;_; this is the lovliest valentine! Thank you! And i feel like the best part of it is that its coming all the way from egypt! You followed your heart and made it happen!!! ^_^ that takes so much guts, im so proud! I hope you have a wonderful day and that the creative inspiration flows ❤️

hello beloved mutual I come crawling to your doorstep in my hour of need as a beginner artist requesting advice. uuuh how? How do i draw faces (specifically side profiles and eyes) and hair? Any advice would be sososo amaxing i am suffering here
Anyways thamk you! Have a lovely day <3
I am so sorry for not responding sooner!! I've been dealing with exams and essays and many other things :[ I do have some advice for you though! Most of this advice is what works for me, so keep that in mind.
Definitely practices at least every other day (better yet, everyday) and doodle what you love, it helps keep you practiced on just drawing in general and it's pretty fun when it's a character you like (helps with motivation!!). Use references often and keep your lines light and loose when sketching on paper.
I also recommend drawing real people if you want, it helps with hand-eye coordination and with your grasp on anatomy (and the face). For hair, think of it as a floppy sheet being draped over someone's head, if that helps (examples are in Pinterest).
Another thing is GUIDELINES!! I hate using guidelines but they are so very helpful, even in a cartoony/anime like art style! Basically they're meant to mark where something stops, I think. I'd watch some videos on them to understand them better if I were you.
I also linked some other things because I'm bad at drawing examples. Also because the video of how I draw faces and side profiles won't load. I'll make a post about it later tbh
youtube
My art things Pinterest that I should use lol, fair warning you will see: bellies, lots of legs, muscles, lady anatomy stuff like that but nothing too bad.
This one has some funky poses I have yet to use and art inspo if you're bored and want some things to look at, it's got some faces too. Some of it's jumbled and I have yet to sort it out. Although some of it is horror art and might be unnerving to some.
By the way it's ok to get discouraged when drawing. It happens to me every once and awhile too. Just practice every so often, and don't be afraid to try new things. And remember to take breaks and stretch!

hello, i would like to have a genshin matchup with a male character for some change :) i go by she/her and my MBTI is ESTP. i would say i am a social, confident person. i definitely need people around me to feel less anxious. i am impulsive, very impatient and i share whatever is on my mind, however strange it may sound. i am passionate, ambitious, emotional, headstrong and i always crave excitement because i will feel easily bored. i love teasing relationships and playful banter. i definitely feel instant attraction to confident, even a bit cocky, intelligent people with some edge (?). but i really dont have a specific type. i love challenges and anything competitive, but i am also quite sensitive and empathetic.
my hobbys are spending time with friends/people, going out, creative writing, reading and shopping. for my style and aesthetic i usually go for something dark, yet elegant and feminine. i like dark red shades, black, violet and white. i like to wear jewelery and alternative dresses. my love language is words of affirmation, i need a lot of attention to feel seen. my partner should be someone who is able to balance my occasional chaos and impulsivity, but is still witty and playful ♡.
Thanks for requesting!
I match you with...
Tighnari!
The both of you would likely meet after you got yourself into some trouble in the Avidya Forest. Maybe you climbed and fell from a tree or was dared to bite into some edible-looking plant you really shouldn't eat. Whatever the case, Tighnari would scold you, but still help you out. And that would become a bit of a pattern. You get yourself into some kind of situation, and he makes sure you don't get yourself hurt, or if you do he chides you before fixing you up.
Likes seeing you chase and achieve your goals — it inspires him to set and work toward his own. He is also intrigued by your spontaneity and how fun-loving you are, as that deviates heavily from his own way of life. Despite sometimes nagging you a little, he holds a deep respect for you.
He's known for being sassy, and that adjective would still accurately describe him when he's around you. Though with you his sarcastic little quips seem to be delivered with a small quirk of the lip far more often. He can't stop it from forming. You're amusing to him, despite giving him headaches, and he's grown extremely fond of you.
Tighnari is more of an ambivert, but despite also having an introverted side, he's almost constantly engaging with the Forest Rangers or idiotic people who've found themselves stumbling into the Avidya Forest without a clue of the dangers. So he might prefer engaging in less social activities with you, though he definitely wouldn't be against going out from time to time. He likes seeing you enjoying yourself, after all.
He's a bit of a reader too. Though he mostly reads educational books on botany. Definitely willing to lend them to you if you're interested, or to teach you about the local plant life without the use of books. Could also take a crack at reading books you like. Might even enjoy having you read to him (works you like or ones you've written yourself) while he's preparing different medicines and such.
If he's in need of a local herb, he might just play into your competitive nature and suggest you make a game of who can find it first. Of course, this would only be after he feels you properly grasp the dangers of the forest. He'll show you a sketch of the plant, quickly explain some of it's identifying features, and then you're off. If you win you might just receive a little kiss on the cheek.
Words of affirmation isn't really one of his top love languages, but if you asked him he'd definitely try to use it more. It'd mostly be in private. Suddenly striking up conversation while you're both doing your own thing. "Hey, are you aware that you inspire me?" Looking at you with a softness in his eyes after you've accomplished something. "I'm proud of you. Genuinely."
Originally I was going to go with Heizou, but I was afraid you wouldn't balance each other out very well. I'm honestly still pretty unsure about my choice, and only became more unsure as I was writing, which is why it took a while. Still, hope you like your match!
Would appreciate feedback if you have any <3

do u have any advice for making gfx? i really like yours and your concepts are always so creative
ahh, thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me 🥹 i'm really hard on myself about my gfx. but i absolutely love making them, and i'd love to share some advice with you!
i'm not sure if you already make gfx or not, so i'll include some things about getting started along with general advice / stuff geared to someone who already has some experience so that hopefully, wherever you are in your journey, something here might be helpful. i hope i'm not just giving you info you already know JBDJB 😭 so feel free to come back and let me know if you need something different ... if you have specific questions about a particular set or anything else like that, i always welcome that too! this got long, so i'll put it below the cut.
1. getting started
- i'll write this point assuming you've never made a gfx before, so if you have, feel free to skip it! the only program i use is photoshop for gfx. and the main thing with these that i didn't know at first is that you can (and should) use a bigger canvas than what you would for gifs ! my typical size for a gfx panel is somewhere around 1080x1200 px. if you are placing gifs anywhere in them, you will likely have to resize down to meet tumblr file size limits.
- some things that you should know how to do in ps: creating a clipping mask, rasterizing/resizing, smart filters, eyedropper tool, and different blending techniques such as overlays. if any of these things sound like 'omg what???' (they did to me as a beginner) let me know and i'm happy to explain more!
- for total beginners, my biggest recommendation is to start by using templates. this helps you get a feel for what layers go into a gfx in the styles that you like, and makes it easier to start making some cool things and boost your confidence before you feel comfortable starting entirely from scratch and developing your own style. you can search 'psd template' here on tumblr, or on deviantart (i'll talk more about sites i use to find things below). just make sure you read each creator's own rules before you use something. i also make templates! you can find them here. i don't require credit and you can edit mine basically however you want, aside from combining them with other templates.
2. finding inspiration
aside from things i see right here on tumblr, source material that just really speaks to me, or ideas that pop into my head while i'm driving (seriously ... almost all my gfx ideas come to me while i'm in my car or out taking a walk 😂), my favorite places to look for inspo are behance and deviantart (both of which are also great for finding elements you can use for free!).
usually i have at least a baseline idea before i go into any gfx, so i know what to search for to find some design ideas -- for example, 'yearbook design,' 'retro advertisement,' 'lyric poster,' 'zine,' 'y2k,' 'film photo story,' etc are all things i've searched before. if i have used a source for inspiration, it will always be linked in my caption, so definitely take a look if there are any in particular that you love to see that inspo source! (as a general note, you should always link back to your own inspiration sources, it's just the right thing to do)
3. my process (from idea into photoshop)
once i have an idea and i've gathered some inspiration, i usually sketch out my basic layout idea into a notebook. with gfx, composition is something you need to keep in mind within each individual panel as well as the set as a whole. i think about what i want the main focus to be and what basic elements i want in each panel. then i will start gathering my resources and start getting things in photoshop! often, i don't really know what it's going to look like until i start putting it together. that's kind of half the fun though.
throughout making most of my gfx, i consult at least one friend on layout, colors, etc especially if i'm not liking something or i'm just stuck and don't know what would make it better. i HIGHLY recommend getting feedback and utilizing other sets of eyes to get your best quality work. i know there are some things i just can't possibly think of on my own, especially when i've been thinking about and looking at something for way too long. once my panels are finished i export them as a png and arrange them on tumblr to see the whole thing together before i post!
4. finding elements i.e. fonts, textures, pngs, etc
again, behance and deviantart are great places for this! on behance, it's best to search 'freebie' with what you're looking for because otherwise all the options may be stuff you have to pay for. but they have SO many textures, pngs, fonts, any resource you can think of.
with deviantart, be mindful of people who just compile texture/png packs from other sources/artists, because that's basically impossible to properly credit (and you really should do your best to do that). but DA is a great source for things like brushes and hand-drawn elements, and templates too! again, just be sure to read all of op's rules before using their resources.
-places to find fonts: behance, fontspace, dafont, and ofc google!
-places to find free pngs/icons (i use these for all of my social media templates and more): flaticon
-photos you can use for free are available on unsplash
-mockups you can use for free are available on behance, unblast, and pixel surplus
5. other important bits
- as i've mentioned a few times throughout CREDIT is so important when you are using other people's resources, and using anyone else's work as your inspiration. i always credit when required and often credit even when not required, and just in general always try to mention where i find all my resources especially for sets that i've used a lot of different things for. of course, we can only do our best with this, and i've definitely made mistakes or just lost where i found something in the process of making things, so just have good intentions and try to do what you can to ensure you're giving credit where it's due - it also helps other people find things that they can use for their own work!
- don't be afraid to experiment and try things out, i think really what i love so much about gfx is that there are literally infinite possibilities, styles, and ways to improve. keep an open mind and know that nothing is out of your range if you can find the right resources.
happy creating, and please know i'm available to talk about anything you have questions on, or if you want to utilize me for feedback !! <3
#wah i hope this is helpful at all 😭 again if you have anything i can speak to more specifically i'm more than happy to#this comes at a good time bc i've been really beating myself up over some gfx i've been working on#so i'm really glad that you like mine and i'd really love to help in any way i can ~!#when i first got started making gifs i NEVER thought i'd be a gfx maker and then i was like i'll never NOT need a template#but now i make everything on my own and even make my own templates! so honestly just keep at it is my biggest advice#i have so much to improve on still but the journey is super fun and rewarding#alright i've written enough here i think JBDGJHB#erimail#mail from: anonymous friend!#.resource tag#gfx help

Hello! I hope you're having a lovely day. I really enjoy all the gorgeous art you create especially for lotr. You have some wonderful visions of those characters and your art style is filled with so much warmth. -- Do you have any thoughts on dwarves as archaeologists, particularly in the fourth age? I’m picturing the return to Khazad-dûm triggering a wave of new found passion for archaeology as they uncover long forgotten heirlooms, artwork and signs of the lives of their people. 1/2
The first grand construction in Khazad-dûm is a museum and there are debates about whether some ruins should be preserved as they are or restored. Eventually their interests expand beyond dwarven archaeology and expeditions begin starting in Eregion and then expanding into Arnor, Eriador and beyond. 2/2
Hi!!!!!!! Hello!!!!! thank you so so much for your kind words and your wonderful thoughts!!! ill be honest — the first thought i had about archaeology in middle-earth involved underwater archaeology. the sunken cultures of beleriand and numenor are just begging for that! sadly this does not go well with the general opinion most dwarves seem to have on water, though im sure a few very dedicated fourth age dwarven archaeologists would not let themselves be stopped by that!
eregion is so great for archaeology too im sure — in general there are so many ruins in all of middle earth, i can imagine there is atleast one dwarf whos passion is recreating all those grand buildings into mini models for a private collection or even an exhibition… legolas says the elves of eregion left not many traces but the stones sing of them still, and who better to examine those stones and listen to their stories than a dwarf !!!!
and i loooove the idea of dwarven museums. they already have so much appreciation and admiration for the past and their ancestors (which they are so often out of touch with due to the almost constant displacement they seem to keep experiencing), it would make so much sense for them to get to establish a museum in peaceful days ❤️ a bit of inspiration perhaps taken by the hobbits who do have museums but generally regard them as useless if i remember correctly (😭)… and speaking of hobbits and your idea of the dwarves expending their archaeology into different regions, i could see them excavating the village smeagol came from — they seemed to have had a very waterbased lifestyle
and i could picture them maybe living in stilt houses/pile dwellings (pictured here are reconstructions of stilt houses from the bronzeage, in the bodensee, germany) which they dwarves could unearth and then perhaps ALSO reconstruct as a fun project. sorry to the poor dwarves, its so waterbased again!!
also! helms deep and the glittering caves have a particularly rich history with the rohirrim! im not sure if gimli himself would be an archaeologist (he definitely has the passion for the past, but maybe he would be too busy 😔) but dwarves of aglarond could definitely work with the rohirrim to uncover more tracks of their ancestors. who knows what other caves lie in the mountains, where humans may have lived once!: ancient burial sites, part time dwellings, hiding places during conflicts, etc. though this would have to have been a long long time before , since the rohirrim have a long line of barrow-burials. but im sure theres lots to be found in the caves!!!
speaking of BARROWS ! those barrows in arnor maybe be haunted but listen. there are things to uncover and learn about the past. maybe they barrow-wights wont be as mad if they just dont commit grave-robbery and they can catalogue the findings and illustrate them… maybe…?🥺 it would certainly make great business for bree to have all these archaeologist dwarves come through trying to keep literal ghosts at bay long enough to properly sketch a funnelbeaker. ❤️ theres sooo many possibilities here !! thank you for sending these asks and i love u and feel free to dm me anytime ❤️❤️❤️ i hope you have a wonderful day as well!
#wow sorry just projecting all of the archaeological fields im most interested in into this post !!!! but!!! thank you again!!#adding archaeologist dwarves to my list of things i want to draw#this turned out a bit more incoherent that i wouldve liked it to!! very sorry!! but im sooo excited!!!!!!#dwarrows
