unfinished study of a pic of my bf, mostly trying to explain to him how he looked oddly hardcore in that moment

TMJ STRETCHES!!

Hey y'all!!

So I suffer from ouch-clicky jaw syndrome (TMJ pain), and I had no fucking idea that there are stretches for your jaw that can help!!

I ripped the stretches directly from this site and put them on a page like this so I could have a reference sheet to put on a wall while I'm at work-- but I highly recommend flipping through the site. It explains each stretch a little better than the shorthand I have up here.

Also!! I am not doctor-- so consider consulting one about these exercises before attempting. But a good rule of thumb is, IF IT HURTS, STOP!!! Your TMJ is a delicate little socket, and you've only got one set!! So be careful with yourself!!

Howdy y'all!! So, as you may have noticed, I've taken off most of my fandom stuff from this blog.

I've decided this space is going to be dedicated solely to original works I've done, or pieces that would look good in a portfolio.

To those who've followed me for my fandom content, if you'd like to see more fanart, DM me and I'll be more than happy to send you a link to my shiny new fanart-only blog.

Thanks for the support!!

[languidlylonnie]

You're the pretty one!!!!! I'll kiss you!! Don't try me!!! 💕😤💖

But for real, thank you so much for the kind words!! With social media it's easy to feel a little disconnected from the audience,

like, you can see people passing your art around and nodding and 'hmm'-ing, and sometimes overhear a comment or two!! and that's wonderful and validating to see!!

But it's a very different feeling than someone walking up to you with a compliment!!

So thank you for taking the time to make me feel good!! You're a fuckin champion!! 💖😫🥺👍

Youre sketch style absolutely blows me away. I want to steal it, A Lot. 🙂

Y'ALL ARE SO NICE 💖😫

A lot of what helped me get to where I'm at anatomy-wise, is grinding on this website here!!

All ya gotta do is hyperfixate on some characters, and then sketch a bunch of poses and put those characters features on the pose and

Wah-Lah!! Seratonin!!👍

For portraits, pretty much all of my formal art training came from this book:

It breaks down each facial feature (including a whole section on hair and clothes!! 😤✊) and gives you some insane tips for drawing each one that I definitely didnt pick up on observation alone.

It also talks a lot about the grid method for really photo-accurate portraits, but I always found that to be way too ridgid for what I'm going for. Photo-realism never really grabbed me as much as cartoons always have!!

It's like $20 on amazon, but I hate amazon. With a cursory google search I also found it on Ebay for like, half that. 🤩👌

Once upon a time, I hit the random button on a picrew I liked 5 times and decided they were a funky little gang of mostly furries.

I painted them together, obviously.

Today, for absolutely no good reason, over 6 months later, I decided to revisit these weirdos, and do some portraits!!

I'm super happy with how they came out!! And it's always nice to see how you've improved over time 😀💖
