LIFE IMITATES ART

when i get inspired by other artists

Ahh~ You're art is just amazing! I've been working during, maybe you've answered this a lot. But can you do a tutorial on eyes? T_T *slapped*

ah thank you!!! my eyes are pretty simple but i hope this helps ;v;

[wonpei]

here’s a face/head one too, since someone asked a long long time ago.

tbh my process changes a lot. sometimes i start with a circle/egg/cross, sometimes the nose or eyes or mouth, sometimes a gesture or stick figure… just experimenting to see what works best for me. recently i’ve been starting with the neck (in a bendy cylinder form), and i think it’s my fav atm!! owo)b

[wonpei]

as you get familiar with nose placement, you’ll be able to visualize step 2 (the triangle) without having to draw it every time ;v;

[wonpei]

do you have your more recent sai brushes up anywhere?

here’s an updated list ! i don’t use them anymore after switching over to clip studio paint tho (click for high-res)

A long ass beginner level tutorial for all of you comic folks who want to start using sketchup for your backgrounds but don’t know how to get started.

This is thorough, easy to follow, and funny as hell. If you don’t know where to start on Sketchup and want to use it for comics or illustration, READ THIS.

Ahhh can you please do a tutorial on how to draw hands? Q-Q I am struggling with them and you draw them so well OTL

ahhhh this has been sitting in my askbox for so long, sorry for being so late ;;;;

I have a lot more to say about hands tbh ;;; but this is really the basics (well, at least what I think it’s the basics) so if you want a more detailed thing I can do it?? hope it helps!!!

Hello <3 I am so shy but I really hope it is okay for you that I ask you a question! I got into digital drawing no too long ago and I'm trying really hard & it is so much fun but I struggle alot with line arts...Do you have tipps? Which brushes do you use for your line arts and different art styles? Mine look totally out of place and I get so sad and want to give up...I hope you can help me sorry if I am bothering you (T ^ T)

aw hello !! you’re not bothering me at all :^) it just takes practice and discovering the right methods/tools that work for you, so don’t give up yet!!

if you have clip studio paint, i use this brush (but you could probably use the “main brush” here as a substitute for paint tool sai). just drag it into your tools/brush panel and it should import (´• ω •`)b

i talked a bit about lineart here but something i should probably mention is that my sketch is my lineart, if that makes sense? i don’t want to bother inking, so i try to make the sketch look clean/decent enough on its own from the beginning. that’s just bc i’m lazy tho. artists who do digital painting tend to skip the lineart stage bc the sketch gets painted over.

another tip is to draw in brown instead of black, and lower the opacity of the lines to 90-95% before colouring. this helps reduce harshness. here’s a sketch i whipped up just now/// it’s not super clean but it’s good enough for me hahaha

i hope this helped a bit & i wish you luck with drawing !!!

Work Smarter, Not Harder: study tips psychology taught me

study in shorter intervals and take breaks (ie, 40 minutes studying and 20 minutes break)

during your break don’t watch tv or surf the internet. get outside if you can and go for a walk. or at least listen to some instrumental music and walk around your hall. or meditate or do some art. anything that doesn’t require super directed attention. this allows your attention to be replenished. it’s like a muscle and you gotta give it time to rest. tv doesn’t allow for that.

relate the information to yourself and your life. creating visual images will improve your memory.

when studying, take notes by hand and put them in your own words. generating material yourself will encode the material better in your brain, and you’ll remember it better

don’t just reread, rehearse! quiz yourself on the materials. if you use a visual image “memory palace” technique, walk yourself through it. you’re likely to remember information you’ve tested yourself on better.

organizing information into groups that make sense create more connections in your brain and allow you to remember things better. the more meaningful connections you make, the better.

make sure the last thing you do before bed is study. no phone, no netflix. your brain will process what you’ve just done while you sleep and this improve recall.

(feel free to add any!)
