Blymi's Art Studio

||28||she/her||artist|| ◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ Blymi here! I finally caved and made an art blog, so expect to see my art, some occasional references that I like to use every so often! Just like Hobie Brown, I don't believe in consistency. Pls don't be weird about my content; if you don't vibe with it, move along. Commissions Open!! DM me about them if you're interested ^^

Hello, hello, come one, come all, I am opening commissions!!

As I said last time, I've decided to take commissions through a different site, so I'll be accepting them through ArtisTree ^^ On it, there are more artwork examples, the fillout form for a commission, as well as my TOS, but here's a synopsis for your consideration:

Very large shout out to my beloved friend, Kenzie, for putting this sheet together for me!

A bit of a slow move on my part, but here's a commission that I finished recently!! My friend's fiance wanted his rise OC all drawn out, and I was excited for the challenge!!

Here's a recent commission I did for a friend! She asked for a reference sheet for her main sona as well as a cute little icon to go with it!

Hi, hello, would you like to see the pokemon related spread I did for my friend, @jojo-rolo birthday last year? She made different forms of her sona as different pokemon types, and I made our friends trainers based off it

And only to make my friends lose their fucking minds, I did a good switch-a-roo of me and another

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

I believe part of being an artist means you never stop improving. For one reason or another, a lot of artists are afraid to paint dark complexions or Black characters. Sometimes deeming the idea too complex or difficult and they’d rather focus on lighter skin tones. If you truly want to get better on skin tones, improvement will come when you keep drawing diverse figures.

Heres few tutorials I like that might be of some help! :

- Dont be afraid of Dark Skin by Ririarts. (I visit this one most frequently)

- How to Render Dark Skin by jordynl33

- Oil painting process by Ellie Mandy Art

Older but honorable mention from Sinix: Painting Dark Skin Tones and Anatomy: Skin

I hope these tutorials help, if anyone has any youtube videos they like feel free to share as well i’d love to see! And remember that practice makes improvement.

I was gonna be a little bit more patient with it, try to scope everything out and even talk stuff out, but honestly? Never mind, me thinks.

If you see this, and you liked any of my apritello fics, I will warn: you have 6 hours.
