Young Severus Snape doodles.

Sketching this was like an itch that I had to scratch.

Couldn't bring myself to finish off this composition. Ah, at least it's cozy either way.

"Hello. Zuko here."

I just felt like drawing him. Ugh, now I kind of want to do one for all five elements; Water, earth, fire, air and boomerang.

Quick (more or less) practice [with a lot of references]!

This is Coel from the very cool Webtoon Project Novos by Zyuno0! She is an amazing mangaka, go check her out!

(I feel sorry for putting Coel through so much XD)

"You shat into my brother's helmet." - Was the prompt for this drawing.

At the end of the year, it's time to do a redraw! Hehe, always gotta keep up the practice. The original is almost six years old. If you want to help out a fellow sandwich, follow me on Instagram and reblog this post!

Was Noctowl a good pick for Obi-Wan? These Pokémon crossovers are so much fun to draw, haha

Do you have an art tip you’d say changed your life and wished you had known sooner?

(LOV UR ART WOWOWOWOWOW)

i can think of five actually (some of them my personal observations so may be something that is not actually true)

1. you have to figure out if you think in lines or in shapes and adjust your drawing process accordingly. you don't have to abandon what you want to do for the sake of what you better at, you just have to be creative

2. colours are more important than lots of other things in your art. a good colour palette can hide all your mistakes or make them look likea personal style and a bad colour palette can make a professional artist's work look like the author knows nothing

3. aside from a regular eraser use some sort of airbrush eraser. it leaves a faint reminder of what was there before and sometimes you don't need a thing to be erased completely and drawn again from scratch

4. let eyes be the last thing you put on a face. you may put a mark where they should be but don't go into much detail before you're done with everything else. very often when something's wrong with the face it's either the eyes or their fault as they set other features for failure with their wrong position

5. if your dominant hand is the left one and you're trying to learn composition and you look at all of those examples in books/articles/video lectures etc and you kinda understand the schemes, but you wouldn't see 'the movement' they're talking about without purposely looking for it, you don't really 'feel the flow', nothing actually 'leads your eye', try mirror flipping the images

Really helpful & solid advice!

It's okay to be sad. Sometimes, "it's a sad day for rain."

Really enjoyed drawing Shikamaru! (For the background, I heavily referenced official Naruto sketches)

I drew Kakashi, my favourite character in Naruto! I think, back when I started drawing, he was the first character I tried to draw properly (when I was around 10 years old). I have fond memories of my older sister drawing Gaara and giving me advice on how to improve my drawing. I feel like I owe this franchise a lot. If you want to help me out, reblog this post and follow me for more art on my Instagram! (For the background, I used an official reference sketch I found online and slightly shifted the vanishing point. I never do backgrounds and think I might have just developed a love for them, haha)

How many frames do you typically need for the animated effects on your GIFs? I love your work!

Hey, thank you! I'm trying to keep them within ten frames

…let me show scamp with a trumpet, there are only 4 frames, just for fun x)

[jamyleebrown]

Appreciate the help so much :)

I like how this one turned out. Of course, it‘s not perfect and there are quite a few things I would change about it now- but it‘s okay. And I think that‘s nice!
