Bluesky had a prompt to draw what you're currently wearing in 5 mins. NGL writing the descriptions took more time then it should have xD lol

To my LGBTQIA+ friends ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I wanted to reach out because I can't even imagine the anger and fear that some of you must be experiencing after being told in the US that your lived experience is "imagined" and that you in fact don't exist.

I'm an ally and if you ever need anything I'm here

You are real and beautiful 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I love trying out different styles ♡

How long does it take you to make a drawing?

Thanks so much for your question! It kind of depends which drawing you're talking about. Sometimes drawings just happen and they're how I want them to be in one go. If that happens the drawing might only take 10 minutes. But other drawings especially if they have any shading, or a really clean precise line they will take much longer. I'm honestly not entirely sure, because I don't always measure the time, but I would say more complicated drawings can be anywhere from 4 hours - 2 days (or longer) because I will keep reworking things. To give you some examples; These drawings probably took 5 minutes each. Somehow my pencil was made out of gold that day lol.

But there are other examples when I question everything and nothing is coming together. A big part of my process is also writing/storytelling, so a lot of energy goes into making sure that the idea communicates well. Sometimes I will do a really broad exploration of all the things that might be possible and then I will narrow it down by asking

• What shots do I need to tell the story • Is it better to leave out something rather then showing it all These were some explorations I did for the story-line where Claires' hair goes white

When I've done a bunch of this kind of exploration I will try to do a more concrete line up of shots I think would work best together to tell the story These were from when Jim still had part of the Beast inside him

Then I will go to do a cleaner pass. Sometimes I go straight to clean, depending how ruff the thumbnail is, or I might do another ruff pass in between. I will usually also try out a bunch of different acting choices too, to figure out what works best for the idea I have. I don't have a great example for that on my computer at the moment, but I tried a few different things for this shot of Krel and Douxie

All of these steps contribute to the drawing taking a long time. Hope this explanation can be helpful (˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>♡

don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.

please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!

I love how Chat Noir trusts Ladybug. He totally has her back, but he also knows that she can save herself. I respect that in their partnership so much! ❤

His laugh is absolutely iconic lol

Chat Noir is so fun to draw ! I’ve been playing around with how to keep the ruff feel in my drawings, because my clean up always looses some of it’s life. Thank you Chat Noir for making this learning so fun ^^
