Just now realizing I never posted this. Thank you eternally to acrylic markers for fixing me. I don't know how you broke the curse but I am forever grateful.

Also doing Emily Hughes' gouache tutorial subscription and this one came out ok! We don't need to talk about the cat from last month.
Still life from my local coffee shop.
I'm like.... Not allowed to do digital art I guess. I cannot stop myself from taking it to a hyper realistic space. This was however extremely fun to do and I learned a lot!
A collection of long bois
Tested out the Grabie watercolor set my bro got me for Christmas but had to finish the background in gouache to rectify some horrible choices lol
This was supposed to be a fun quick "let's learn how to use Clip Studio". It was fun, but it certainly was not quick.
Feesh
Started drawing frogs whenever I can't figure out what to draw 🐸
Him.
You ever succumb to an ad for markers and suddenly unlock being able to draw for yourself for the first time since lockdown.
What the fuck I don't know how to paint but somehow this happened anyway
So my professor lent me this hard tip brush pen thing and thats what i used for the old lighthouse keep dude drawing and guys
Its the best pen ive ever inked with bc im so shakey with inking but this pen made it so easy and it has line variation
And he said i could keep it
*VIBRATES EXCITEDLY*
LIKE BEANS THIS IS ALL FROM THE ONE PEN
IM CRYING
THIS IS THE PEN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BRAND IT IS BC I CAN’t READ THE LABEL.
My professor said it got it from Jet Pens online? Ill ask him the brand tommarrow
He said they were fairly cheap! :0
Its a Zebra disposable brush pen.
Here’s the link to them on that website: https://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Disposable-Brush-Pen-Super-Fine/pd/2309
YOU ARE A BLESSING OMH THANK YOU <3
And they’re like 2 dollars guys this is the best pen ive ever owned in my life
AND ITS WATER PROOF I PUT SOME WATER ON SOEM LINES AND IT DIDNT BLEED GUYS THESE PENS
I have used these pens! They are, indeed, awesome. Very good for drawing outlines and then using watercolors over. One of these, a water brush, and a tiny set of watercolor pans and you have an awesomely portable art kit. Like so (though that one has a different black brush pen).
literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.
you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???
SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use
creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week
search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts
mockup zone freebies
unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos
pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice
pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!
as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.
I’m gonna add a few more:
Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site
Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns.
Transparent Textures actually lets you combine colors and patterns to build your own texture right there in the browser.

Attention anyone who needs hairstyle references
I want to introduce all of you to this amazing place called the ukhairdressers style gallery.
It’s basically a massive database full of high-quality images of different hairstyles. I mean, look at all the options in that sidebar (and part of it’s cut off):
In total they have 976 pages of hairstyles with about 17 styles each, that’s about 16592 hairstyles to look at.
Look at all the stuff they’ve got! Long hair:
Short hair:
Straight hair:
Curly hair:
Afro hair:
Men’s hair:
Hair on older models:
Extra-fancy hair:
Even crazy avant-garde hair:
So if you need help with designing a character or you just want to practice drawing hair, this is a fantastic resource.
