A dumbass learns art

The hell do I put here? uhhhhh. post-highschool. I am learning art and hope to be good enough to comfortably make pokemon comics here eventually. I have no idea what else to put here sooooo, done I guess?

You ever just have an idea in your head, that you can't do justice, but you need to get out anyway?

yeah...

should be obvious where my inspiration for the lettering came from.

Maybe I'll redo this one day. Maybe.

[arcturusgeneral]

Decided to draw Litten using a model

the adorable model in question:

University is messing with me, hope to establish a regular drawing routine soon.

And on a side note

SCREW SCHOLARS FROM THE 1700S! TRANSLATE DIRECTLY YOU EGOTISTICAL DUST BAG!

[arcturusgeneral]

Still trying to figure out perspectives and shading. Need to practice the human biology (shudder). And practice drawing important Pokémon for the story I have planned. (like Litten!)

reference I used. Might try redrawing Litten based of cat photos at some point, could be worthwhile.

Lets just say my D&D character is thoroughly more traumatised than before.

[arcturusgeneral]

"Why didn't you do more?" he asks, as if the realm he just cut communication to could answer him. Not that it would anyway, it didn't answer when he needed it most. It doesn't care, it never cared. Only he cared, and it blinded him.

Some naysayers claim I make the same 5 jokes over and over again, they are correct and incorrect. There are only 7 jokes in the world, all rehashed - pulled apart and pieced together in different orders in a never-ending cycle of communal incognizance. You want new jokes? Then die and hope to be born on some alien planet where emotions and experiences transcend our own earthly limitations. Otherwise, be happy with your 'new' memes, those that are just vain angles of the same ancient script. You all worship the same God.

You sound like an english teacher

If your Tumblr name is a hyphenated string of random words, with a half naked photo of a person as the profile pic, I will assume you are a bot and block you. Been getting too many of those recently.

[arcturusgeneral]

Like its just words that don't make sense grammatical or otherwise, and I look on the blog and it's all photos of underwear models or something, all mistagged. Like, that's a bot, right?

I've gotten like ten of them in two days.

[arcturusgeneral]

Also not dead. Moving, getting sick then starting uni all in quick succession does things to a person.

Been trying to get back into drawing, will hopefully have something soon.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[supergrinch]

reblog to be eaten by this thing

Just put artist and artists on Tumblr in my tags on one of my posts. Feels weird and kinda like I'm not good enough to. But it feels like the right thing to do.

Just felt like doing this, still getting ready to move. The Wooper was just meant to quick, I know it's bad.

I lived in Taiwan for a time and I saw monkeys swing on trees

And now you get to see it everyday in website format.

It's a mess, but I did it

ended up colouring in the nails instead of drawing of trying to draw an empty shape. Drew my veins on with a blue pencil, lightly did my joints (not very well) and then drew my weird cut I noticed while doing this with a red pencil

[arcturusgeneral]

I looked at it again and realised I messed up the thumb

fixed it, kinda. whatever it is better now.

[arcturusgeneral]

Final fix. I hope. No, no, I'm leaving it alone now

wait no, I messed up my fix. Damn it. hold on.

[arcturusgeneral]

ok, now it's done.

I hope.

Still looks a little off, but at least now I don't know why, so I can't try to fix it.

Last one too thick

First was fine, just slightly too pointy
