#I HATE COLORING I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE #my friends bought me an Apple Pencil and omgggg I’ve never had pressure before in my life #this changes everything #I can actually put my hand down on my iPad to doodle??#I’ve gotten so used to hovering my hand like what is going on #anyways 15!chuuya is actually amazing #I’ve made a recent discovery that I’m a lot similar to Dazai than I thought and idk how I feel about that cause he’s such a brat #ive gotten to the point that I’d actually talk to him on those character ai’s and it’s actually so embarrassing like it’s nothing #like the actual bsd dazai but I’d actually rather talk to a robot than a real person about my problems #I like kids being kids so I’m always down to draw 15!skk #chuuya nakahara #dazai Osamu #bsd #bungou stray dogs #skk #soukoku #myart #I’m gonna post and pass out now

Saw this amazing animation reel by animator Curie Lu and was inspired to do some animation with glowing freckles Danny.

I also made a second version with a special effect on the eyes like in the reference but I'm not sure whether it looks better or worse:

#danny phantom #fan art #fan animation #glowing freckles #danny fenton #2d animation #blender #grease pencil #my animation #my art #I tried to draw everything with Blender's grease pencil #actually not bad for pure 2d animation work #filling tool was a headache to understand in the beginning #but now I think this filling tool is even better than the ones in various 2d painting softwares

had a conversation with my mom and now i'm curious

If unsure, go grab yourself a pencil and compare to these examples:

"Correct" ways to hold a pencil:

(if you didn't know there were names for these, yea I had no idea either until I started looking stuff up lmao)

"Wrong" ways to hold a pencil:

I'm mostly curious as someone who has always held her pencil wrong. No matter what teachers/my mom ever did to try and teach me (pencil grips, elastic bands, etc) it just never worked. I wanna know how universal this experience is hdKJH

(rb for sample size, etc etc, the usual)

#clamtalk #polls #in my case it probably has to do with the joint hypermobility that my mom wasn't aware I had until too late to accommodate it #So i've always held my pencil in an index grip (or something somewhat like it; my index finger is higher up on the pencil than it should be #Also I put correct/wrong in quotes because like. While yes you could argue inherently there is a 'correct' vs. 'incorrect' way #regarding how much strain an incorrect grip can put on one's hands #I have never personally had issue with how i hold my pencil even if 'wrong.' The only problem I had was when my mom was trying #to force me to change it to hold it 'right.' Because that shit hurt my hands!#Once again probably due to the hypermobility!#So I dunno. Infinite Nuance etc

how are you drawing so well in the notes app???

Practice. A LOT of practice

#I mean #a lot a lot amound #I literally draw almost every day for many years #I don’t know any magical way of becoming good other than that #do it bad until you’re good #notes app has pencil and eraser #if you have skills you don’t really need anything else #it’s almost like drawing on paper

Trying out markers :]

My camera isn't very good and the colors look a lot worse than they do IRL :')

#ive had those marker for years byt i never use them #the swatches i made aren't accurate so i STILL had to test out every marker i wanted to use. sigh #mod snuuy #i'm massively artblocked so i'm. hoping that doing things i don't do often will make it better #also discovered that my biggest sketchbook can't handle anything other than pencil. cries #omori #daily basil #art #drawing #omori basil #traditional #digital #basil #basil omori

day two of "just a quick sketch and i'll do my assignments" (this took me 2h 45min so far)

photo reference: Bej48 - Hu XiaoHui & Qing Yuwen

#my art #let me introduce you to my new blorbos: coco and agott (agathe?) from witch hat atelier #did i mention i have no self control #(actually i just got so stressed over hw for no reason that i couldn't concentrate on studying and decided to rest instead)#also i thought that i don't really care about the paper quality when i'm using a graphite pencil... but i was a fool #the sketchbook paper is so smooth... way better than the office paper i usually use #i still haven't decided what face expression agott should make but i better do that before i make a hole in the paper #coco wha #agott arkrome #arkco #witch hat atelier #wha #tongari boushi no atelier

Adamai from Wakfu, using only CMYK pencils.

#art #traditional art #sketchbook #fanart #coloured pencil #adamai #wakfu #dragon #been rewatchin this with friends #sorry for the much more fanart than you'd usually expect from me lately #sometimes I just wanna draw and not have to think too hard and fanart is usually good for that #coloured pencils have been meditative n fun though #probably a good time to scour through some arts I haven't posted! I say every time and never do

if you think Moon is smoother than Sun, think again

Bonus:

Moon: Falling in love? Cringe 😤

Also Moon: *maladaptive daydreaming about marrying Y/N*

#i would've drawn this with colored pencils so it would look softer #but i only packed a couple of liners and pens with me for home #so that's why this looks so crisp #tbh i was worried that it will look to messy bc i've also sketched everything in pen #but it actually looks good holy fuck #anyways i love gremlin-but-a-lil'-shy Moon #don't get me wrong he's surely braver and cockier than Sun #but he's still a flustered wreck #fnaf security breach #fnaf daycare attendant #fnaf fanart #moondrop #moondrop x y/n #moondrop x reader #sundrop x y/n #comic #doodles #ghost doodles

kine is based off mola mola sunfish, which are about 6ft in size!!therefore i raise you: mola mola sunbathing party!! (+ the slightly more realistic animal friends :DD)

OKAY i did a lot of research on animals for this one!! feel free to read my notes under the cut 👇

kine: is a mola mola/ocean sunfish, specifically from pacific waters! i'm in love with the idea of this six foot behemoth next to all the tiny creatures of dreamland, and as someone with a crippling obsession with fish, i had to draw him :] pacific mola molas match the distinctive petal-shaped clauvus (not a caudal fin!) that kine has, but don't have a lot of iconic lip action, which is why i tried to make it seem like a... discolored snout? molas are typically one color, and the blue color could seem natural from an angle, so let's pretend that real!kine just has lots of cool barnacles.

coo: is taken from @starflungwaddledee's dusky eagle owl notes! they literally look so much like coo it's insanee + i added the stripes to his wings. finding the bird-to-cartoon ratio was kinda hard actually 😭 birds are hard to draw what

rick: is based on a golden hamster (aka syrian hamster)!!! he's exactly the type of hamster you think of when you think of a normal hamster. golden hamsters are technically one of the largest hamsters, but still only stand at about 7 inches— so i decided to use his cartoon logic to keep him somewhat relative to coo

chuchu: SHE'S A FLAPJACK OCTOPUS SHE'S LITERALLY A FLAPJACK OCTOPUS!!!! scientists actually wanted to name the species "adorabilis" and just look them up please they're so cute!!! you can tell that DL3 character designers had flapjack octopi on their minds when they designed her. their fins look similar to a bow, and i obviously couldn't get rid of that, so i gave her both :]]

nago: is a calico cat. he's not overly cartoonish in his game design in regards to how he looks as a cat— he is undeniably a cat. i let my middle school warrior cats obsession take over for that one. calicos are almost always female, so i also raise you trans nago 🫶

pitch: resembles a warbling white eye, according to wikirby. i tend to draw him similar to one anyways, thanks to adeleine's slightly more realistic drawings in the DL3 credits. he's definitely also been sized up to fit in with the rest of the cast, since a 4-inch bird wouldn't exactly be visible.

thanks for listening to my rambles about animals!! i tried to keep a good mix between realism and video game designs just for kicks and giggles, hopefully it doesn't fall into a weird uncanny valley haha :] ✌️

#honestly. i am terrified of molas. would scream if i saw one. anything bigger than a pleco would scare me irl #this is why i stick to fishtank sized fishies lmao #i hope i did my animal research right! pulled up a crap ton of references for these lol (i was the animal facts kid)#kirby series #kirby #veves ultra cool art #kine the fish #rick the hamster #coo the owl #chuchu kirby #pitch kirby #nago the cat #bandana waddle dee #gooey kirby #yeah 😎 i tagged them all #spent a week working on these my pencil is dead
