Heheh I would like to think of it as more to love and appriciate! We shall create the content we want to see of the little pairs that deserves more love in this world :)
I woke up at 7am this morning to a discord message from my friend about a dream she had where she admitted All Might to OR and gave him pain meds. 'we were flirting the whole time and he said damn went I picked something off of the floor'
Made me laugh so hard I drew it.
hello,, ahh sorry to message but I am such a bit fan of your artwork and style,,, I had discovered you and your channel back in the psychonaut days from da, even though I discovered you about a couple months ago, it truly is an inspiration to help me draw again,,
may I say your style is so cute and soothing, too? so gentle and the wonderful coloring,, I love the recent tf2 artwork,,, you draw them so well,,
HELLOOOOOO!!! You're more than welcome to talk to me and oooooh that's so incredible sweet ;u; Thank you so so much and I'm so glad that my art can inspire you <3
I also love the way you've drawn eyes!! Makes it look like light reflecting through crystals, or a black hole consuming light and hues surrounding them~ It's so unique and cool! :D
I hope you have a lovely day and keep on creating! <3
When birds take a shower, there is the fabulous kinds, and the skrunkly kinds :)
I was inspiered by my two lill boys, Ask and Milo! (Ask being the normal grey and Milo is a white-face cockatiel.)
Every time they shower with me, Milo looks like a instragram girl fresh out of the shower, meanwhile Ask is the most scrunkly lill man there is 😂
Hello Seekdusk! Thank you so much <3
The most common thing to say, but has been the longest journey for me, is literally hours and hours of practicing!
I'll go more into depth under the cut!
I think it comes from the fact that I am a goddamn stubborn person, and when I set my mind to it, I'll finish it. The time I really became determined to draw hands, was when I was around 14 years old? Now I'm 27, so I've had some years practicing hands now haha
What truly inspired me was movies like Disney Tarzan, Atlantis and the older hand drawn movies. The way the many animations drew hands? Utterly poetry to my soul. And the fact that they were able to animate hand moving too?? It was godly to my small human brain at my earlier age.
Milt Kahl, a legend when it comes to early Disney animation, (and most conmanly known to animate those head swaggle frames,)
But also a goddamn god when it comes to hand???
Freaking love these so much, and there is so much more references of his drawing if you search for him.
Anyway, my point to all of this was: Find your inspiration! Is there a style you're dying to try out and want to get better at? Do you want to develop your own kind of style and get better at anatomy all in all?
I think having a goal really helps you reach for the distance.
Mine was to draw like the legends!
My grandfather, who is also an artist and was a big inspiration for me as young, told me that one of the hardest things to draw was: Hands and feet. "When an artist can draw the palms of a hand or the sole of a foot in detail, they can truly draw anything."
Me, hearing this at 6 years old? You better believe I made that my life's goal to become the greatest little artist there is and draw awesome hands and anatomy!!!
Little hopeful 6-years-old me of course didn't know the half of how much time I would spend drawing then. But I think that also helped somehow. Not overthink it in the moment. Draw what inspires you and and have fun while doing it.
Anatomy was something that was so fascinating to me too as young, I got to borrow my grandfather's book by Burne Hogarth: Dynamic Figure Drawings.
His style if pretty stylized, but it helped me understanding the proportions of muscles, form and posture.
So my other point would be: Use references that helps and inspires you to draw more and improve!
Something I've talked to my many artist friends in need of help is that: Using references is NOT CHEATING!!!
References has been the very source for art since the freaking stone age. Need help drawing that hand that's stubbornly difficult to draw? Take a picture of your own hand in the pose you want and trace it! Or you can find pictures or 3D figure posers online for free where you can literally pose hands however you like!
And one last point I would like to say too is: It's alright to do mistakes! And when you can't quite do it? Take a break and come back to it later.
When I was struggling the most while drawing hands, I would get so frustrated I wanted to throw the tablet out of the window. Solution? Take a coffee/tea break. Go for a walk or something. When you get back to it, you'll start off with a fresh mind and maybe even see what you need to do to fix the drawing too!
Anyway I've been rambling for a while now. If you got this far, I hope these will help you on your journey too as it did for me ♥♥♥
