heya! do you have any tips on drawing, you have a good style that is very pleasing to the eye.

Yess my best tip is to always try to draw something youve never drawn before otherwise you never learn(ie. Get good) and to do that in a sketchbook to see progress clearly. Also a sketchbook is not meant to be pretty and beautiful, it meant to be full of notes, thoughts and art. It is a reflection of your mind if you let it be. You dont need to show it to anybody. You dont need to polish every doodle. It doesnt matter. Also watch Proko.

#art #life however fleeting is experienced in the present moment #we ought to enjoy each one the best we can #after the harshest of winters come the gentlest summer breeze #dont take it too seriously #dont hold yourself back with the weight of optics #make that sketchbook yours. draw something new. strange.#comparing yourself to others far beyond your experience level will do nothing but hurt you ought to appreciate how far you've come #study observe admire be free have fun #expression is the point of art #learning anatomy perspective colour and alike isnt an obstacles but a way to help you express your ideas #oouf i was rambling.....excuse me

You gave Xiao your heart.

He thought it was a spar invite.

[Next]

#qiiarts #xiao #lumine #frisk #the art i got too self indulgent about that undertale always has a special place in my heart #also me thinking wouldnt it be interesting to use the flirt route not as frisk #and my fondness to xiao and traveler in particular at this point in time then bam this comic #they're close friends at best with how i see their r/s but putting the tag just in case #xiaolumi #i wasnt sure to upload this at first cus theres a second part and then over time i had figured out a full narrative #soon enough in the future ill do it :3 yes this is a tiny for-fun crossover series incoming #just these two failing horribly at expressing Interest #genshin impact #undertale

Lost boys

#mayhem art #star wars #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker fanart #obi wan kenobi fanart #star wars art #this one was sitting in my drafts for about a month. idk why I was holding onto it -cries- anyway #this is shortly after Qui-Gon's death. Both of their lives just got flipped upside down. Anakin is traumatized by having to leave #his mother behind‚ then his Master's sudden death‚ and he's left with no certainty in his future.#Obi-Wan just witnessed his Master die‚ helplessly‚ then having to take care of this little human in his Master's stead‚ meanwhile feeling #wholly inadequate to be so suddenly knighted let alone immediately becoming a Master and taking responsibility for another being.#Both of them losing the constants in their lives. left uprooted. the only anchoring point being each other.#I imagine Obi-Wan wouldn't reach out to Anakin first‚ but if Anakin expressed compassion with him‚ grief‚ and his need to feel secure‚#Obi-Wan wouldn't turn him away #this was just my excuse to give them a proper soothing hug in their time of mourning

So.

We went from this for Starclan Cats:

To.

This:

Biggest downgrade of my life.

#warriors #warrior cats #this is almost worse than the disney live action remakes to me #like. i used to stare and study wayne mcloughlin's art in the code of the clans book for ages before moving on to the actual story #it was so good and pretty #richardsons's...#i feel nothing except mild disappointment and concern for his well being from harpercollins #cuz uh.#what kind of time crunch does the wc team/divisionshave him /on/?????#like. the star patterns for reedwhisker are....okay and look like stars #but mistystar..... she looks like she got dunked in the lake first #or like she could be mistaken for ferncloud...cuz man....those are absolutely 100% not stars on her pelt #props to reedshisker for being the first cat in ??? book covers for having a different expression (even if it's a lil wonky) though #star's cover gets one point #a starless clan

There's something healing about drawing characters in various states of rage.

Closeups, because lineart is linearting:

I like to think I improved lol.

#traditional art #luigi #mario #bowser #princess peach #bowuigi #mareach #expressions #mario au #my au #ao3 stuff #yes Bowser has more floof. At this point I should just commit and give him the lion mane I want him to have lol #mario: What did you just say??#Luigi: I know you didn't just go there.#Peach: Wanna repeat that dear?#Bowser: You have two seconds.

What if Pomni's hat acted like expressive dog ears? Droop when sad, stand straight up when scared, ect.

to reiterate what i said in the sketchpage, yeah this is a hc ive enjoyed for a while i just can't do it anymore because ermmmm hat too big :(

#i maxed out the big hat skill tree... no more points for expressiveness :((( a shame. but if i had both it'd be too op for the meta....#the amazing digital circus #tadc #pomni #my art #ask response #chompni

i like to think post-game they’d all be friends and watch movies sometimes. scc have that big screen in their shop i choose to believe it’s a tv

based kinda on these screenshots a couple years ago :] people included are @maddestmewmew and @tenpixelsusie

if you ship scc go away please 👍

#ideally catti and jockington would also be here but. i drew enough HDHDHDHDHD #the art gallery #deltarune #scc #suselle #capsei #not explicitly but. implied with clover’s expressions #sad clover looking longingly at susie (based on unused dialogue) and mad clover glaring at capn #bc in their fight happy and mad clover expressed interest in ralsei and there’s an unused dialogue where sad clover says ‘what about her?’#or smth to that effect #but i think it went unused bc susie wasn’t in your party at that point #also in my heart the movie itself is called “(completely benign sounding movie title)”

the anon saying they wish vaschete were plushies inspired me

.

#oh no #oh #oh boy #they're adorable #I'm sorry but I'm just mentally smooshing their soft round little heads together #their expressions!#the teensy paws #really feeling that cute aggresion #you made their faces translate into simplified plush form so well #I'd be lying if I said it never crossed my mind how neat it would be to have plushies of them #not as merch but like to keep as mascots and have them sit contently next to each other in some nook of my home #I'm not completely hopeless at sewing but I've never designed patterns quite as complex as this #and I think commissioning a professional for a set is likely beyond my budget so eh one can dream #gift art #makedamnsvre #own characters #Machete #Vasco #from a technical point of view #I feel like I'd be adamant about keeping Vasco's ombre ears and muzzle but they could be potentially difficult to execute #unless you airbrushed them by hand or something I don't know how this works #and I'd probably be really picky about the texture of Machete's fluff as well #finding a faux fur with the right length curl and springiness might be hard #honestly I think I might have easier time if I tried art doll/ooak route because that permits more painting and sculpting than pure sewing #but then the squish factor would suffer

I'm laughing sm at you Defense Edgworth au, bc poor Miles is down BAD for Phoenix

Yeah he is

#doctorsiren #ace attorney #ace attorney au #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #narumitsu #wrightworth #defenseworth au #art #digital art #my art #fanart #procreate #they’re both so oblivious to the fact that the other is clearly into them #but everyone else can very easily see it #to the point where other people just assume that when they call each other ‘partners’ as in law partners #that they actually mean romantic partners #poor miles doesn’t know how to properly express his emotions so he just keeps them inside

I've been told my comic feels like it was written by AI.

I suppose I'm not trying to be groundbreaking. I'm not interested in pioneering genres. I'm not writing for the purpose of literary analysis.

But written by AI...?

I'm already someone who has my humanity questioned. My identity erased. My existence disrespected. It could be worse. Anything could be worse.

But AI?

I spend weeks writing single scenes, toiling over the implications of single lines. I have goals. My writing has intent.

If you cared to read deeper, perhaps you'd see the themes. Maybe then you'd see the value. If you tried to analyze it maybe you'd see something there.

Maybe you'd see me.

Someone told me my comic seemed like it was written by AI.

And my humanity was denied one step further in that my voice was not seen in the work I've poured years of my life into.

#this is a comment that has bothered me for... a long time.#it really sat with me.#its insulting of course...#but i get insults all the time #thats not what bothered me.#there was something more to it #something more to how this hurt my feelings and why it lingered so long in my mind #and i think its because of this.#it removes me. it removes my humanity.#in a world where i already feel so invisible and invalidated #where i express myself. my love. through my work #to be told it seems like something a literal robot coild make #a conglomeration of marketable ideas #god. jts so insulting on a completely other level.#its straight up dehumanizing #so. watch the things you say seem like ai #when its actually made by an artist #especially if you know that it was made bh someone #they have a heart an theyre trying to show it to you #i know its not that deep or whatever.#but isnt it?#isnt the point of our art to connect to others? to love them? to spend time with them??#im being dramatic #but i also care #and sometimes a little extra drama is what gets my ideas across.#i would know #im a writer

October 2023

I turned 30 on October 13th

I've felt like my recent art has been lacking something personal, and I feel a strange distance from most of my works, it's something that's been bringing me down a lot lately.

I feel like I hit a wall, and I need to break a hole through it so that I can emerge as something new on the other side.

Big Challenges

Album of the month: - Song of the month: Moon River by Audrey Hepburn

#luv diary 2023 #idk at what point i started to feel like personal expression / vent art is embarrassing but i want to destroy that part of me #i feel like i've been so concerned with how i present myself online that i've become my username instead of myself #i almost don't feel like a whole person #i shouldn't be afraid to show vulnerability #i genuinely don't know why i'm so scared #experimental art #oc art #luv #illustration #original character #oc
