AJ's Universe

I'm AJ and it's my universe! I'm a graphic design and illustration student. This is where I blog my art and Instagram @all.journey.2

Meet my Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy daughter!

She's a quiet, observant, and studious Hufflepuff that loves nature and animals. Don't underestimate her soft kindness for weakness as underneath the surface is a fierce stubbornness. And she's very proud of being Welsh. As a Muggle-born, the Wizarding world is strange and different, but she's loving it! When she's not roaming the countryside or practicing Transfiguration, she's off on adventures with her friends.

It's been a while since I've felt satisfied with an art piece but I do with this one. It was fun to do. I find Dream interesting, both the player and the character. The mask means many things and plays many roles. It hides, it protects, it keeps secrets. Masks are just fascinating with the implications they bring.

Also I've been loving his latest song, "Mask," and I feel it's pretty relatable. I hope he's rocking 2021 even if his character has been locked in jail for months. 😂

Happy May the Fourth! This is my voice impression of Omega from The Bad Batch!

I know I typically post stuff from the visual art side of things, but I also have been in the performing arts for several years and felt like sharing my voice talent. Hope you enjoy!

WILDFIRE IN A NUTSHELL

This was really fun and relaxing to draw. Aaaaand sums up my main DnD party pretty well.

In the back is our favorite NPC and fellow party member, PONTIFAR, a tiefling blood hunter. He usually acts as the voice as reason and is always Done. However, he's a secret adrenaline junkie.

BORIS, variant human rogue assassin. He is deadly but cannot talk well to save his life. He is the source of most chaos in our campaign.

There's GRIM, human ranger and a total alcoholic. Also deadly, but joins Boris in getting up to trouble, usually while he's drunk.

THEREN, our wood elf paladin who has PTSD, a dismal mood, and despite being the oldest of us (~200 years) can be just as lacking in self-control.

And GWENYTH (me), half-elf draconic sorceress who is obsessed with figuring out the main plot mystery and where her magic powers come from. Also usually concerned about shenanigans, but can be reckless when hyperfocused.

Please let me know any further suggestions

OMG I HAVE TO DRAW SOME MCS TOMORROW 👀

[hogwartsmystory]

@kyril-hphm @angrynar @praetoring @kathrynalicemc @a-bear-at-hogwarts @brothergrimm71 figured you guys might appreciate these LOL

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

WIP of my Star Wars oc, Nima Teksa. She's a Jedi in hiding during the Purge, going under the disguise of Shar Ayy, a mechanic. She's a grumpy and reserved gal that I love. And the droid is Zippy, her friend that she built herself.

For the anon who wanted some tips on hair, and for anyone who might be interested, here’s a little step-by-step of my hair painting process! 

This was actually pretty fun to make and helped me think critically about my process, so if you guys wanna see any other tutorials feel free to send me an ask!

The Google Cultural Institute documents the world’s art and other cultural treasures. At the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, Google workers took a series of photos of these skulls (and over 200 others), and stitched the photos together so that you can view them at any angle.

EDIT: They moved the gallery to this link.

[strangebiology]

Now the gallery is hosted at the Cal Academy website and on Sketchfab!

[lilybugmusings]

Is there a website to look up models or people  to draw, with gender, ethnicity, and age filters. (if possible)?

 For example if a wanted to make a cartoon character realistic and use a real person for reference or to edit the photo to look like them?

I’ve been just googling  white 20s male, black female 40s etc. (can’t find any good references for kids either)  and been sifting through the results.

Seriously, where did Steve find that armor? I hope he didn’t steal it from an aggressive warrior or something…I don’t want him to get in trouble, ya know? It’s been a year since this tutorial is on Patreon, so I’ll post it for everyone now! (I have to work on a reptile scales or transparent materials tutorial one day tho)
