Masuta Budo @askbudo - Tumblr Blog

@budokas requested for me to draw their Soft!Gema and Budo playing animal crossing so…

What's your dream date with Oka?

“OKAY! I’ve thought a lot about this!”“First I’d tell her that we were going to have a competition and ask her to go with me! Then I’d pick her up with flowers and she’ll be all-”Oka: you’re so sweet Budo!“Then then! I’d take her to an amusement park to show her my nerves of steal and win her one of those one dollar stuffed animals with that hammer strength game! We’ll go on rides, regret it by sitting on a bench together, go into those freaky mirror places, and that part where they try to show off the cool “smallest man in the world” or “goat with two heads”! She’ll love explaining why it’s all fake and I can listen to her talk and teach me things about her occult books and and to end it all off I’ll take her to a nice place to eat pancakes!”

your art is absolutely gorgeous!! do you have any tips on how to draw so well ?

I’m not sure if my advice will be any help but i’ll try my best to give tips of what helped me learn.1) Give yourself space to grow. My style is very anime-…ish because anime/manga influenced me to draw more than any art media I enjoyed. For a long time though I didn’t grow as an artist because I was settled on having a specific aesthetic of the artists that influenced me (fanart or original creators). Mind you I was fucking inspired by Inuyasha and shit so proportions were fucked. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized I strained myself a lot from sticking to those aesthetics and I wasn’t letting myself practice outside of that strict ideal I had. Having your own style sets us apart from those artists and it’s okay to get away from it to get better. I think it’s hard to realize that when specific styles appeal and start an interest in art. I’m not saying that you should “get away from that anime style” or “draw other things” like a lot of people have told me but try other styles of your favorite characters maybe incorporate other styles in your already existing one for fun. Maybe you’ll end up liking it more.2) PracticeI knooowwww everyone says this but it’s true although I personally hated reading this as a tip when asking people this question. Practice helps and going out of your comfort zones during practice helps even more. Making a comic(s) really helped me tbh even though i never showed them to anyone else, it forces you to at least try weird positions and later on you can laugh at how weird or decent they were. (mine were fucking horrible seriously nothing made sense) Also try finishing art pieces completely. I am horrible at finishing sketches and projects but my friends that stick through the hell REALLY IMPROVE! (I’m finally doing it and slowly getting better)3) TAKE BREAKSI know this kinda contradicts the second one but read me out. When you have art block a lot of people say “keep drawing!” or “kick it in the ass with sketches”.. and that’s great if you’ve been having an art block for months or even years but if it’s been a few days. CHILL! Take a break! Read a book, talk with friends, watch some anime, read some manga, get on this hellsite even! Do what makes you happy. It helps a lot and your hand will thank you for it. Try to draw as much as you can when you can but if you’re really not feeling it and your hand is just not listening to you when you try to draw. Just breath it’ll be okay. 4) ART FRIENDSOkay this is personal advice that I wish I had as a kid tbh Make art friends! People to share ideas, art, and random ocs when you feel like it. It can be hard to click with people or showing your art but just try your best. This isn’t necessary of course but from the people I’ve seen show casing their art it seems to help them develop faster. (This is just from my perspective I’m too much of a chicken shit to share my stuff I swear I’m barely trying here) It won’t help everyone either especially with the baggage that has always held me back.(art thieves fucking scare me) A private group of friends online or irl can help you get motivated, inspired and just be a relief to have someone to spill all your ideas to. It can be really helpful!I hope these didn’t sound like dumb tips that you’d hear from some random motivational speaker because I tried hard to think of what helped me and others. If you wanted like… HOW TO DRAW ANIME TIPS… I have none… I think instructions like that restrict you (they never helped me personally)Trust me when I say that letting your art be a fluid transition is just a lot more rewarding and helps you grow a lot faster

#THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT
