Sorry if i'm bothering you/ you dont have to respond, but how do you come up with cool backgrounds and ideas for your fanart drawings? Your stuff is super creative!! I was just curious because i draw characters in the same poses every day 😭❤
I check my tumblr notif every once in a few days but still missed this, so sorry if I was keeping you wait!
Thank you so much for the compliments! 💖💖💖 this makes me really happy, you’re not a bother at all.
Just speaking from my experience, but an artist usually have several ways of kicking off a drawing. If I start off drawing a character without actually knowing what I want to draw, I face the same exact problem as you where all the characters are just there! Standing! That isn’t a bad thing, however. I sketch a lot (roughly and fast ngl) so I immediately shift to the next drawing and considered those my warmups until a solid idea pops up. I love focusing emotions so I often start from drawing emotions on the character before coming up with scenarios for them.
Another way of kicking off a drawing is to start with a general idea. It can be a concept, a dialogue, or a composition.
Examples of said ideas I can recall:
•eremin kissing in a wide bloody background
•Eren holding armin’s face w that bloodied hand
•Flojean in a cell. Floch lives
•Gen with his hand as foreground
Concepts can start forming when you’re drawing so you keep adding in the details, or they can even change completely midway depends on you. No need to commit to it, these are just something to get your engine running!
I firmly believe that putting stories in art make it so much more special. My favorite artist is a comic artist, and they express so much and so well in even the smallest panel, their art is truly my inspiration! So as long as you got your story down and try to express it, every piece of your art is unique in its own way💖
(Also if you notice, all my backgrounds are suuuuper lazy made. I barely drawing them, most are a bunch of gradient and colors. But that’s the whole point, as long as the colors indicate what, where, and the atmosphere I don’t feel the need to draw them out!)
I find my art very rough most of the times, but the skill to let go “refining art” and prioritize dynamic and overall atmosphere are essential. It’s also always beneficial to practice drawing people on different angles and pose because it broadens your options for composition!
One last thing: everyone has a personal library in their head, whether it’s for stories, compositions, cool dialogues, lighting, character designs, music, or more. Your library was built according to your interests and what you consume. Personally I LOVE reading fanfics, watching films and series and animations of the genres I’m into. Watching more media will always give you ideas, once in a while you can go back to your library and think what would you like to see that suits your taste and haven’t been done yet.
OKAY, This replies become super long for some reason😭 I’m not the best person when it comes to explaining my thought process but I’ve always love art questions.
Anyway I hope this helps! May your drawing journey be filled with joy

Pinned Post? In this economy???
I’m Porga (previously heichou-espurr), 30+ and Texas-based. I'm a fic writer and fanartist so you'll find that content here mixed with everything else I retweet reblog. Occasionally I'll sneak in some original stuff 🩷
Fandoms include: Attack on Titan (after 10 years? Yeah I’m still here), Pokemon, Yugioh (DM & 5Ds), Dead by Daylight (and adjacent-horror) and Magic the Gathering. There's a sprinkling of odds and ends but those are the main ones you'll find here. Currently obsessed with Hazbin Hotel so you’ll find that in abundance.
I have a niche side account @yeehautja if you like alien monster hunters 🖤
Main ships include: jearmin, eremin, scoopshipping, faithshipping, trustshipping, kbnz, originshipping, valangel and radiostatic
All of my art and writing is going to be for the main ships. I honestly don't venture much outside of those fandom spaces.
Connect with me on other socials and check out my fics!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
❌: DO NOT use my art or fics to spread hate of any kind.
❌:DO NOT repost my art or fics to any other sites even with credit (fic translations are fine as long as they are posted to AO3 ONLY).
❌DO NOT use my writing or art for AI, NFTs, or any other crypto❌
✅ Inbox and submissions are open to headcanons and funny stories! I love chatting about fandom things, but keep it light hearted. I don't take these fictional characters too seriously so if you're expecting a deep character essay analysis STOP. We don't do that here. I also do not take c0mmissions of any kind (writing or art)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
As of now, all my spicy content will remain on twitter until I find a stable spot to post it. No minors over there, please. Tread cautiously here because while I can't post hardcore spicy, this account is still not minor-safe.
Not spoiler free. I don't always tag things either.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
At the end of the day, I'm just here to create funny little posts, silly little fics and pretty little arts for people to enjoy.
Check out my spooky slasher fic 🖤🩸🔪
Check out my social media au comic 🩵📱🍳
