Pokemon Soul Silver paints done over the past few months I replayed Soul Silver for the first time since it came out (2010? Goodness) and got hit with intense feelings, I love this game so much. I had always enjoyed the dynamic between Lyra and Silver, and wanted to imagine how they'd look in a timeskip ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝)

Your latest zelink art is so lovely! Would you mind adding it to your Inprnt? ✨☁️🥺

Thank you so much! 💖 🥹 I've been away from my socials for years that I had forgotten I had an Inprnt 😅 But I'm happy to hear this! I've added not only that piece, but 2 others as well that I really like 😊 Thank you for your kindness and support! It means so much!! 💖 🥹

Loving embrace Referenced this pose I found on Pinterest as practice, but I got very into it and wanted to turn it into Zelink + color Zelda's dress isn't accurate at all, but I approached this with relaxation, and not stress over details :)

Hi! Just stumbled across your Tumblr and just wanted to say your art is super pretty! I love your style and the colours you use are so ethereal. Lovely stuff <3

٩(^ᴗ^)۶ thank you so much for your support and compliment!! I like that they appear ethereal, I’ve been trying to learn a lot about lighting w colors lately :))) 💖

Art summary for 2020

My biggest takeaway was finally learning how to paint characters on a single layer rather than separate each color into its own layer. As well as merging the lineart into that layer. It has felt very liberating, and I can see a change in the style compared to last year :>

i really admire your art ;o; the lines are so fluid, the colouring is top-notch and i really can’t stop staring at it! you’ve inspired me to pick up drawing again sjsjsk ;w; if you don’t mind me asking, what are the procreate brushes you use? o: and do you have any tutorials or tips for a beginner artist? i wanna try drawing on the app but i wasn’t sure where to start ahahaha. i hope you have a good day/night!! ♡

Hi! Thank you so so much! omg it’s always an honor to hear that my work can be inspiring :’D <3

I’ve answered the brush one before so I’ll link it here :3

The most helpful thing for me is simply scribbling figures a lot. In many different poses over and over (with references to help) I do this several times a week and it’s a good way to train your brain to grasp the form better :)

Also be sure to look up any Procreate user interface guides on YouTube, bc it has a lot of hidden gems in the UI that make it much easier to use!

How do u make everything look so sof 🥺🥺

I am unsure what you mean specifically but I’m told my coloring is soff so I will focus on that ´･ᴗ･`

I apply gradients first as if it all looked airbrush before using more finer brushes to get in the sharper shadows. I think that aids a lot to the soffness, & I try to not let the finer shading overpower the gradient layout

I hope this helps 😅💦💦💦!
