Keep your composure

Hi! I'm Cormack and this is my art blog. Starring: My animations, random character designs, the inability to draw consistently.

A short song written for its own sake, inspired by A Midsummer’s Night Dream. I like to think it’s Puck playing the harmonica for some reason.

A lazy doodle of Fox because how could I resist drawing “the greatest featherweight prizefighter THIS SIDE A’ THE MISSISSIPPI”?

When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”

Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.

This makes me happy.

Happy creating, everyone

1, 2, and 11 for the artist asks. :)

1. What is your favorite color to work with?

Blue! For some reason it’s the only color I can distinguish between shades, plus it’s an all around cool color (no pun intended).

2. who is your favorite character to draw?

Butler. He’s got such an exaggerated design. Plus, he would wear everything, so I can draw him in anything. Mwahaha.

11. warm or cool colors?

Cool colors. Probably has something to do with my love of the color blue. :P

Thank you!

tips for artists and writers who cant figure out whats “missing”

rooms should be messy to some degree, lived in, and should have personality, even a clean persons room shows they lived there

clothes shouldnt look recently bought unless thats part of the story

no space is empty

no part of the body is perfect

quirks show in accessories, what pocket does the phone go in, headphones or earbuds, how are shoes laced

when was an item bought? not every item is going to be up to date and trendy. age things appropriately

skin picking, nail fidgeting, bruises, chapped lips

quality of make up/self care

waistline of pants/shorts/skirts

are nails taken care of? chewed? polished? etc

damage to objects like helmets, phone, jeans

frizzy, loose hairs

SEAMS IN CLOTHES

signs of failed ambitions/projects. did they try to start using a fitness bracelet or keep succulents? 

everyday allergies

A little pencil animation for Mermay! It’s not wildly detailed/smooth, but it was fun to do.

As my mom once said: “You’ve got to make a thousand awful things before you can even start planning a masterpiece” 

Just. 

Keep. 

Creating.

Did the ‘meet the artist’ meme for no reason other than ‘why not’.

(Note: I do, in fact, own and wear that outfit. I also use an umbrella as a cane. I look like a character from a Disney short.)

little art tip: the position of the ears on a human does a lot to communicate the angle of the head—whether it’s tilted forward or back.

tilted back with the chin forward, the ears are going to look lower down, closer to the mouth; tilted forward with the chin tucked, the ears look higher up & more in line with the eyes.

[theodoredechalons-deactivated20]

Sorry I’m not hijacking, but this is a really good tip if people don’t know this. Like it does look really strange at first, but it is more realistic than drawing them in the centre of the side plane of the head. So it looks like this;;;

great addition, thanks!

How a hand can bend, presumably. 

[idahlrillion]

This is how I draw hands. I simplify the shape and then later I will add the necessary details. It makes it easier to get them right. But the only way to learn how to draw hands is to just keep drawing them.

[cormackncheese-blog]

Sometimes I draw characters I always make really cartoony as being slightly more realistic for no reason other than to make myself uncomfortable. Thus far, I have achieved this goal without fail.

DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS, CORI!!!

It is the equivalent of listening to an audiobook while attempting to write an essay. Let me tell you my guy. It’s not gonna work.

@pastelpeachpunk I must now tell you that I am currently writing music while listening to music. Thank you for this month old encouragement to make no sense whatsoever.
