just a quick doodle but I was recalling how disappointed I was that the sanrio collab did not come with hairstyles because I wanted emu to get hair like this to match cinnamoroll
how did you learn to draw? are there any resources or even classes you'd recommend? literally anything other than "practice" or "use references" ??
I've been drawing since I was young and am pretty much self-taught so I'm not sure if I have a great answer for you but...
I think the main key is learning to enjoy drawing! if you're motivated to do something you'll make much more progress with it, speaking as someone who has groaned about doing studies or tried to pick up other hobbies and left them in the dust.
apart from the things you've pointed out these were a couple things that helped me growing up:
-tutorials:
-the kind of tutorials you'll want to pay attention to will probably depend on your experience/level - stuff like composition, rendering, and things that are more general I think can be left till you have some more experience
-imo it is fine to start with simpler stuff like how to do a certain effect or basics
-studies/tracing*:
-*do not upload these anywhere and especially don't take any credit, these are just for learning for yourself
-this can be helpful in learning how an artist does something if you're stuck wondering how an artist does x thing
-draw things you like whether that's fanart or ocs or whatever, it's a way to express your love for a subject you care about
I think once you at least find fun in drawing and want to actively improve you can start to focus on more in-depth tutorials, practice, and referencing. unfortunately I don't have any class reccs and there's too many resources out there. it might be easier for you to find what you need by focusing on one aspect you know you want to learn about (i.e. composition, perspective, colours, anatomy, etc)
but something that's worked for me lately is if there's something specific I want to learn, I'll start with something I want to draw, and then apply that concept to what I want to draw, instead of forcing myself to draw for the sake of studying.
lately I've been using more references, looking in the mirror and taking photos of/for myself when I can't easily find one for specific drawings I have in mind; this has been a lot more helpful for me than doing observational drawings.
hold on edit I forgot one more thing
-joining an art community is really helpful, especially with others near or above your skill level! even if you're not ready to take critique, doing stuff with other people helps your learning a lot. I personally grew up a ton and learned a lot about storytelling and drawing quickly through art rp lmao. unfortunately social media has warped a lot over the years and artist communities aren't really the same as they used to be but if you can find yourself in one it'll be beneficial
I for one think it is very funny they inserted a whole love triangle into this event (the first picture is actually Really Old but it ended up fitting here)
What program/brushes do you use if you don't mind me asking?
I use clip studio paint; I'm not really consistent with the brushes I use bc I like to change things up often or adjust depending on whatever I feel like using.
I also download a lot of brushes from the asset store and adjust them to whatever suits me, so I'm not really someone who believes in any one brush setting working for everyone. here's some descriptions of ones I use a lot though:
do you have a twitter? love your art so so much btw, been rotating your recent mafuyu piece in my head a lot @_@
aw, thank you! I do, but I prefer people not follow me on it expecting sekai content (or any other fandom) as I upload whatever I like and don't like feeling pressured to draw any one thing.
but since it's there in some of my posts anyway, it's @ fizzicatop ; some content might occasionally be a little more mature than what's on here (not sekai-related) so please bear in mind
some ooold misc things I thought I had posted but I had not
ponytail minori was from a while before spojoy so I was close! and a magimirai miku just to fill space
Hi there!! I know it’s a bit old by now but I came across your Ruikasa Tabanta comic and I was wondering if I could take inspiration from it to write a fanfic? If not, it’s completely fine! I just figured I should ask before I did anything. I would also link your comic if I were to post it!
oh sure, thanks for asking! I'd love to see the fic when you're done too if that's okay! (I can not publish the ask if you'd like 👍)
yes! so long as:
-it's not meant for someone specific (I usually write if it is)
-it's personal use like an icon or banner
-no editing other than cropping to fit
