Do you have any drawing tips? I can’t get how to make art look good without cray rendering, but your simple colored art looks wonderful

thank you! i don't think i can say something new about it, because i used to do the same, especially with classic art being mostly oil art and realistic painting. what helped me is my professor's phrase - there're painters and graphic artists. you just got to figure out what appeals to you more, and focus on that - whether you're more a shapebuilder and prefer mixing colors and work with values, or you'd rather work with lineart, composition and be bit more experimental i'd lie if i said i don't sometimes envy artists who're good with rendering, but it doesn't mean i don't find joy in line/flatcolor works. i'd suggest to find what inspires you most, observe it and remind yourself that simple color and lines can be just as expressive personally i always find inspiration in modern/art nouveau works, especially posters - whether it's ads, theater or something else. take notes on art of 20th century and observe works of artists you admire, including animation and comics since they often use cel shading too here's a bunch of examples, and an animation short i love a lot (as well as works of its creators) SUNDOWN - Animation Short Film 2020 - GOBELINS

your interpretation of rappa and the way you draw her is peak 💛

You stated in your reply that "i sometimes worry my vision of characters is unnecessary" - I disagree. I think it's very precious for the audience whether the creator adds something from themselves to the character. It is like a chef adding different vegetables to the stew and not following the recipe in 100%, because there's a different season or this vegetable was added in their family. It is personal, it is distinguishable, this is yours! Your version of Aglaea inspired me to make her curvier in a 50k words fic! Please, never doubt that the vision you add to the characters is valuable and important.

ahh that's super kind you thank you!! i think so too, it's putting the soul into your own creation! IM SUPER HAPPY to hear my take on aglaea inspired you! such comments really warm my heart and make me continue doing whatever im doing..! thank you!! i just know there're people who'd prefer the "original" vision and who strike to make their own art of it as close to it as possible, every detail and every hairlock. nothing bad in it, but i firmly believe it's much more freeing to let yourself interpret the beloved character however you want, let them through yourself, simplify here and there. because why not if there're such possibility

hellooo! i have been studying how you draw different faces. i am really, really obsessed with how diverse and specific you make facial structures! you’ve clearly spent a very long time studying anatomy. the way you draw is so clean and simplified but the understanding of form beneath is just, mwah mwah 🧑‍🍳 😘

on that note, is there anything specific you did to learn this? was it just studies/figure drawings? are there any resources you used for it?

hi!! thank you so much for the kind words! :)) yes you're right it was lots of hours! and art degree for ~4 years. but an important remark is i've studied design mostly, not anatomy or academical art, even though our professor is a professional. but like, in academy id be judged much more strict and we'd have to spend more time too, paying attention and memorizing the muscles and body parts the resources are literally any academic art books, Morpho's series is amazing, Uldis Zarins's books too. but also look up Bammes and other classic artists! i really like Alexander Ryzhkin's videos on YT too so i'll mostly talk about the philosophy behind it all i used to have lots of OCs and wanted each of them to have unique traits, so i often took pics of some people/model photoshoots, like 2-3 photos, put them on a canvas and take traits i deemed fitting the said OC the most. whether it's wide jaw or long hooked nose or big forehead. gotta play with shapes and stuff but stay more or less in realistic proportions 2019 pic

it was always like that i think, the wish to make people unique, the idea of it and the goal you go with 2020 pic

so it became the same when i moved into fanarts! i always loved artists' lineups of some originally stylized and similar to e/o characters (mlp, homestuck, etc) but with unique designs and facial traits. it's super inspiring

your hands are untied when it comes to templated anime characters, like in hoyo games. play with shapes, play with colors, eyes, make them emote and etc etc. it's just fun! ( im also a little bit face blind so i have to memorize little details (wrinkles, moles) to 100% tell apart some people, at least when it's about someone i've never seen irl 😭 my advice would be studying skulls of course, and simplify faces and be obsessed with your idea, trying to combine different features. draw people of different gender, age, race, circumstances (office worker vs showbusiness star, etc). perhaps just try to catch their character in every detail. our professor often said that even ears mirror the person's soul, and it's important to get it right too haha. good luck with that!! some of my uni works below. could to better but overall it was a great push for me and my understanding of basics
