i’ve been trying to teach myself how to draw and your art has been a huge inspiration for me, do you have any tips on how to do line art like you do?
to be quite honest i try to avoid doing proper lineart whenever possible! it used to be a prominent feature of my art but I realized i just kinda felt miserable doing it. any lines you see are either painted on top, the sketch, or im doing something heavily stylized so I'll just show my process & share some general tips!
I try to stay as loose as possible and let myself leave in some mistakes as if I were inking with a real pen and paper. Another thing I recommend is playing around with whatever brushes and seeing what sticks! I prefer a much more textured gritty line over something super smooth but that isnt for everyone so playing around with different options is ideal
Also will leave some external resources under the cut!
FRAMED INK: book about comic/storyboarding composition but still has some bits in there about how different inking techniques can change the mood of a scene.
GUIDE TO SPOTTING TANGENTS: Self explanatory. Tangents can be a real pain when it comes to lineart so its best to learn What they are and How to spot them
SPOTTING BLACK AREAS: going more in depth with laying down your black areas

Ninjago notes
I make art for the original ninjago. What counts as original for me is seasons before the movie. So right up to the one with the time twins. Post movie ninjago to me is not the same show. So the whole oni thing doesn't apply to any of my works. Just so you know.

Lego people are way fun to draw but I got to keep practiceing drawing human, humans. Got to practice anatomy by drawing full bodies sometime. These are from a page from my sketch book. I used references. I scanned and finished them in ibspaint. I used backgrounds I had already made. My tablet has really good color display so when I put my art on other devices they don't look the same. The skin on the first spinjitzu master looks kinda off on my phone, almost sickly. Only Garmadon is supposed to look sick. It looked fine on the tablet. Not sure what to do about that. Don't even know what you'd look up to find stuff on getting your colors to look good acrossed devices.🤷

Honestly though saying (or implying) that vocaloid or vocal synths in general "devalues the human voice" is SUCH an incredibly shit take for SO many reasons.
Like yeah Saki Fujita getting so many other roles in voice acting because of her contribution to Hatsune Miku (the anime cameos and stuff are usually done with her original voice, them modified to be robotic) is a bit of an outlier when most other vocaloid and sythns don't have that influence.
You can even sort of wave off the dozens upon dozens of people who go for realistic tuning- like whenever a synth has any sort of clarity, there are like five people commenting about how real they sound. Clearly people do still care about human sounding vocals, because they go nuts over realistic vtuning.
There are many different aspects of vocaloid that use human voices, too- from Set It Off's duet "Why Do I?", human rap artists using Miku's vocals as background, and the entire CONCEPT of Project Sekai which releases AND COMMISSIONS songs for vocal synths and real people.
But the sheer number of vocaloid producers who use their own vocals as back up (MikitoP, PinoochioP, and I believe Kira off the top of my head), the number of producers who can sing and/or do self covers (again Kira, GIGA, Ayase, Teniwoha, syudou and so many more), and the amount of vocal producers who have gone forward with legit musical careers after working with vocaloid (Kenshi Yonezu, most notably, who did work for years under the alias Hachi)
I mean, hell. There are vocaloid producers who go on to become vocaloid vocals themselves- like nostraightanswer, the vocal provider for DEX, who has made both vocaloid and original songs. Some even duets.
That's not even including creators like JubyPhonic, Rachie, Will Stenson, Lollia, Octavia, Razzy and Co., and SO many other HUMAN cover artists who gained following or honed their skills on none other than vocaloid covers. (And that's just a handful of English Cover artists, not like Sati Akura a Russian cover artist or Ado who has commissioned songs from vocaloid artists)
It's also not including UTAUites who input their own voices to use for covers.
"Devalues the human voice" is such blatant bs. They ARE human voices. They are OUR voices. "You'd think by now that we would have learned, behind every piece if art is a human to be heard." (- CircusP, 'Better Off Worse')

My blorbo!! Yildiz my beloved <3
Is their design basically an excuse to draw hair like that? Pretty much. It’s so fun and pretty! He deserves luscious hair akin to the Condesce because how else will he be equipped to face the Horrors? She’s also been through so much, and I can’t wait to write her story and basically give her a big warm hug :3 They will get peace by the end
