How do I art???

Hey I'm Alice. She/Her. Black Chick Extraordinaire. 30-something. Casual, finally-got-a-tablet-holy-shit artist and I can't draw for shit. Watch me improve as I draw along more or laugh as I fail otherwise. Might turn this into a TADC blog but idk yet. Main blog: https://www.il-re-kaneki.tumblr.com

Ahhh!!! "Welcome to the Goddamn Digital Sketchbook Circus where Caine likes to draw himself happy with the circus gang when he goofs off in his office at night" AU/headcanon or whatever the fuck its called.

I spent two days on this and it still looks like ass but guess what? I think I've improved pretty well over the last couple of months of drawing when I could barely draw a stick figure, much less this ensemble drawing I tried to take a crack at. I also seem to be doing better with trying to unlearn efforted perfectionism and going 'fuck it we ball' with my art. It seems to be working out for me doing it like that and I think that's pretty cool too.

Not sure if anyone's done or thought of this yet but I have this really funny headcanon of Caine reading out random lines from the Dracula Flow videos and is just getting more and more confused as he reads them because he doesn't understand the sarcastic irony and street name references for illict drugs. And Jax, Pomni, & Zooble are just trying their damnest not to laugh at him (and failing miserably) while he reads the lines as Jax records him saying them out loud.

Poor Gangle and Kinger just have no clue what's happening because Gangle (imo) wasn't big into youtube compared to watching anime online that much and Kinger is just oblivious to everything as usual. Ragatha's just as confused as Caine is but laughs nonetheless because she thinks it's funny with the way that he tries to pronounce some of the words to describe smoking weed or sniffing coke off a hooker's ass lmao

(Bonus headcanon that Caine probably also wears reading glasses but only when he's by himself in his office because he doesn't want to get clowned on by Jax for it when he reads stuff in front of the gang.)

"Blue! That wasn't very nice!" -Caine, probably

Reading through the A Little Blue AU comics by @ubeng-ubas made me inspired to draw Blue who deadpans his insults at Pomni since I feel like she would probably try to subtly rage bait him to show any kind of outward emotion the more he gains his humanity within the circus with Caine. I love him so much already!

What Caine fears...

Ha ha ha, how about that new Glitch merch ad, guys? How's Pomni? How's Pomni? How's Pomni? HOW'S POMNI? HA HA HA HA HOW'S POMNI!!? HOW'S P—

Tried to take a crack at drawing the rag doll mom friend in my sketchbook. Man, even with all the practice in the world I still cannot get Ragatha's hair noodles done correctly but I'm just glad that I was able to get the itch out to draw something... anything, really! One of these days I'm gonna get my art fundamentals down pat and when I do, it's so over for you bitches.

It's me, I'm bitches. /j

"Coming, my dear!"

I don't know where I was going with this but I guess it's either Ragatha or Pomni calling out to him to join them in playing cards or something. The context is yours to make, I guess!

Edit: Fixed up some of the line work, added some eye color, and all that jazz because I kept looking at it and realized that I forgot to put in his bowtie

[alicesartblarg]

Uh, Showtime or some shit

I was going to make a joke about how Caine "kisses" Pomni by licking her but then I figured it'd be funnier just to leave it like this, so yeah!

[alicesartblarg]

Happy gay month, y'all! Finally got to do Zooble properly using the Enby flag colors which I thought was pretty cute and fitting for them.

Edit: I forgot to add on Zooble's antennas because I drew them from memory and my memory is straight up ass so it's fixed now.

Starting to get slightly better at drawing Caine now on the wigglypaint app thing, god he is quite difficult to draw as a beginner artist but I think I'm starting to come along a good bit from how I first started.

Also my dumbass had posted this to the wrong blog omggggg but it's okay, I fixed it now lmaoooo

[alicesartblarg]

So I have discovered clip studio paint and found out that it's pretty cool. Too bad the free trial version won't let me save my doodles lmao. Crazy how when I don't care that's when my art seems to be better but when I actually try to put in effort into my drawings is when they look so wonky like why???

EDIT: AAAAHHHH FUCK I JUST REALIZED THAT I DREW THE TRIANGLE OF ZOOBLE'S HEAD ON THE WRONG SIDE SHIT MAN

[alicesartblarg]

Drew the sad masked weeb girl, Gangle! My hand and brain don't know how ribbons work but I'm trying, alright?

It's so funny to me because I can clearly see the ribbons in my head when I imagine them but for some reason my hand cannot translate that into a sketch properly?? The beginner artist struggle is real, that's for damn sure.

"Forgive me..."

Had this idea in my head for a while that when Caine got deleted in episode 8, he got sent back to his original state of being. To him, everything is gone. There's no more circus, no more humans, and no more adventures. Just him back in his own digital hellscape alone, full of confusion and some parts regret.

[alicesartblarg]

Welp, I drew everyone's favorite purple tumblr sexyman Jax for the first time in my whole life! Not bad for a first attempt tbh.

[alicesartblarg]

FINALLY GOT AROUND TO DRAWING A BETTER CAINE THAN MY FIRST ONE! No Bubble with him though but I'm mostly happy with this. I got to work on doing backgrounds next time lmao

[alicesartblarg]

Crikey mate, friendly reminder that any hand drawn art is better than generative AI art. Unless it's Caine. And we love Caine in this house, chat.

[alicesartblarg]

Whoops I made Kinger's head too wide but that's okay, probably will redo it later but that day isn't today lmao

[alicesartblarg]

Wowie I made a Pomni on this barren wasteland of an art blog, might make more of these because I'm having fun and need a reprieve from the depression
