black swamp bae
i drew her once before with a demon and i never finished that one so here’s this separate one with just her
HEYYY long time no art posts! I’ve been mostly active on my main account @addxiin where i post relatable and/or gay shit as we’re wont to do
i want to get back to posting my art online and everywhere rather then keeping it buried in my files with mild contempt. i hope you guys like this work in progress of sean that i’m working on on procreate.
i’ve opened a ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee (i don’t drink coffee, but i do eat food once in a while) and support ya sharkie as they work towards that artistic pipe dream. any support is greatly appreciated 🖤🖤🖤

Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.
It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.
You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.
I don’t think a lot of people know that it’s not cheating. I recall seeing so many piece of art called out because they referenced a pose, someone recognized it, and then proceeded to shame them for it. There’s this belief, both by creators and the audience, that artists should just be able to translate the ideas from their head to paper, and if they don’t, it’s plagiarism, or not true originality (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing).
I myself didn’t start using references until very recently, because even I was under the impression that it was frowned upon. And that belief has seriously crippled and stalled my ability to improve as an artist.
As a restarting artist, I can confirm. I just never knew. I thought you were just supposed to know how to draw the body correctly and if you didn’t you had no talent.
(( I am going to say this again, loud and clear for everyone:
USING REFERENCES FOR ART IS NOT ‘CHEATING’!!!
If you can draw/paint without references, great! But if you need to use them, and feel that your art can be bettered by using references, please, use them! This is one of the biggest tips I can give to artists, is USE REFERENCES!
Anyone who would dare to attack someone for using references after ‘recognizing a pose’ is a dipshit, who doesn’t know a thing about art.
Do you know who else used references for their art?
Norman Rockwell
Alphonse Mucha
Gustav Klimt
Toulouse Lautrec
Vincent Van Gogh
Paul Gauguin
Edgar Degas
Gil Elvgren
Frida Kahlo
Pablo Picasso
Disney Studios
And thousands of others! So, artists! Go forth, and use references!!! ))
Reblogging as a constant reminder to my followers: You will never get better if you don’t use REFERENCES from life!! References are your friend I use them all the time and have nearly one terabyte for poses alone.
You can even use other artists work, it’s just a matter of respecting the artist. Just be very careful and ASK (if you can) before posting any art you made that directly references an artists work. If you cannot contact them, let people know or link to the reference you used. Do not claim the work is your own or let people assume it by not saying anything at all-that’s where the call out culture is. Emulating master works was REQUIRED for half my undergrad classes in painting- and my original work was so much better because I studied someone with more experience and knowledge of the craft.
Unless you have a very good grasp on your subject matter trying to draw everything from memory is just going to hinder and frustrate you.
Study the masters.
Study real life.
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Your work will thank you for it.
I don’t add to reblogs ever, but I’m gonna mention for a hot minute that in my studio art classes I took before uni and during high school when I still thought I may have been going into art for college collecting references was a REQUIREMENT or else you wouldn’t be allowed to carry on with the project at all. They actually counted towards a small part of grade in fact. Yea proving that you were not just winging it counted for something. They wanted to know that you knew what you were doing so you weren’t just somehow guessing and pulling it out of nowhere… Anyone who says looking at references is cheating clearly doesn’t know what tf they are talking about. That’s just ridiculous.
Reblogging because this is important

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!
“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”
“Well she didn’t exactly say ‘no’..”
“Yea, but did you see what she was wearing?”
“Boys will be boys!”
“She should know better than to drink at a party…”
Cannot not reblog.
“She should have tried to enjoy–”
“She’s just saying something now for atten-“
boy am i glad this has so many notes
i don’t know who decided that happy endings were boring but i wanna fight them. happy endings make all the bad shit that characters go through worth it, there’s nothing boring about that.
