//feeling guilty for not posting anything, I’m very sorry. take some minaryos i’ve drawn for Mikey. I still love Makoto and I’d love to draw for this blog more, but I have tough times right now.

Btw we hit 165 followers! I’m really glad and I don’t think I deserve that much, but thank you for being here! Hope you’re having a good time! Should I do something to celebrate, do you have any ideas/wishes by any chance?

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.

Happy holidays @floweralec!! I was your @personasecretsanta2k17 Secret Santa this year, which is wild because I just saw your gift for me?? So we got each other, what are the odds :D

You hit the nail on the head about Futaba and Yusuke, they’re my favourite characters :)  I’m glad you like them too, since they were a main focus in this comic (though more teasing than affectionate here, for sure).

Thanks again for your amazing art, I wish you the best!

Akira after seeing your fashion style I started to wonder how it would suit me, so would you mind giving me a little make over? After all putting on auch make-up seems a bit like art itself.... (ask-jokersartist)

Hope you’ll like it, because your artwork is great and i’d be glad if you’ll gain at least a little bit of Christmas mood after seeing it. I wish next year will be filled with happyness and joy for you!
