Lent has started, and here I'm again with a series of everyday drawings (which will be sold later on, with the profits going to charities) Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll; most votes went to mythological beings. So, Greek mythology it is! 🐟

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without infringing copyright! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.

Please add on if you know any more sites for free images <3

loish

Gradients, smudge tool, blur - they’re all great tools, until your art turns into a blurry mess. A soft rendering style is not easy to pull off, which is why I made a tutorial video about it ~ this one comes with 3 smudge brushes that I made myself! ✨ Find it here!

I just discovered this amazing animation creator through his COLOSO course. Michinoku-toge is currently making an original animation series. This is EP05 from his latest update on Youtube.

I really love his art style for both characters and backgrounds.
