nessie at the monastery: chapter 1 (chapter 2)

nessie tends to be very carefree, but even she can get a fear for her mortality like anyone else. but...celibacy might have been a step too far. at least the nice nun is willing to help her acclimatise :)

OMG MY WIPS I ABANDONED (specially the comics) are like REALLLY GOOD kjfdhjfdkj sometimes you do need distance but i used to be sooo self-concious about those projects to the point i gave up on them which snowballed into my big art misery, but sketching nonsense in my sketchbook made me want to wipe the dust off my tablet and open all my old projects and again THEY'RE REALLY GOOD, especially my nsfw 28 page nsfw comic. i had gotten overhwlemed by all the parts that are like, superfluous, especially to how i like to draw, and i was asking sooo many people's opinions and critiques and like, i asked for the critiques, and they were good and nice critiques. but i need to like, not actually care. i will get better at art by doing, as that vid i mentioned said 'creating and critique cannot happen at the same time' and i find that SOOOO true for me. i have to finish a piece before i can even let myself consider it's faults otherwise i will nitpick it to death and the end product will be messy and i'll have had no fun making it and it likely won't even get finished.

hi we’re a24 and we loved the ytp you posted when you were 15. do you want to direct the multimillion dollar adaptation of your opus, simpsons gone purple?

[theoldkyokodied]

Fresh from the oven: two kcd hansry mini comics (ft. Zizka and Hynek), one (1) portrait of Samuel (need to draw him more) and a bunch of Kettle Hat Henry doodles again, except this time we got more variety (And yeah, I did draw these because of tunes. again. Everybody say 'thank you Tunes!' >:) she says she is warming up to them but it is still funny to torment her with my henry's fashion choices)

Hello! I really love your art! I was wondering if you have any tips on how to capture the person the facial features of the person you are drawing so well?(!) Your Billy and Stu are is amazing! Although it is in your style (which I absolutely adore) you still keep their likeness/resemblance which is very hard for me to do when trying to draw them in my style! (Sorry if the wording is confusing, any tips?) Thanks!

Ah thank you so much and sorry for taking so long to reply, but I needed to figure out how to answer this.

I have put some general tips together, but I need to point out that none of these replace the time investment of learning art. It is merely a suggestion of direction for practice, and I don’t want anyone to feel discouraged if any of these tips don’t immediately make them into a master of arts. Art practice is not easy and it can be frustrating to not be up to your own standards yet, but you will get there! :) In the meantime: be kind to yourself!

That said, let’s get to the tips I can share:

1) Use references!

I usually create a reference sheet for any character I want to draw more often, with their face in lots of different angles. Being able to know how, for example, someone’s nose looks like from the side and from the front can be essential when it comes to recognition. You basically want to be able to create a 3 dimensional object with these references. I tend to need the references less the more I draw the character, after a while i just memorise their key aspects for drawing them from most angles :)

2) Figure out key-features of a person

Try to figure out how to simplify someone in a drawing. What are their most striking features that NEED to be included? Sometimes it helps when you try to think of what features a caricaturist would accentuate in a caricature of them. Here you have some features that I personally try to focus on when I draw billy:

As mentioned in the bottom right corner, the placement of these key-features is also important. Try to figure out where things are placed in relation to other facial features and mind their size as well. this becomes easier the more you do it!

If you struggle to find out what features are important you can also look up other fan-artists stylised work you like and try to see what they chose to highlight :)

3) Do studies!

4) focus on values and contrast before considering color

doing a study without a sketch by blocking in shapes can help you figure out the planes of a characters face

as you can see here, stu’s eyebrows kind of blend in with the shadows of his brow bone, which is why I usually draw his eyebrows pretty light/in a color that doesn’t have high contrast with the skin tone, it makes him instantly more recognisable in my opinion

5) Draw (a lot)

I have been drawing basically every day since I was a child, but my ability to actually draw someone recognisable has only developed in the recent years. And I don’t think I’m done with learning. In the undying words of Bob Ross: “Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do”.

I hope my tips can help a bit and and perhaps lend you some motivation for the never ending practice that every artist has to face :’) <3

my friend justifiably yelled at me for telling every other artist I know to make a tip jar available on their profiles but not actually having one myself, so I've dusted off my old ko-fi

this probably won't get a ton of attention going forward, the stuff I actually have piled up to share is destined for Patreon as before, but there's literally no reason not to have a one time tip jar for the many many assorted fuckers who drift across my profile from reading my stupid posts every day. everyone make it easier for strangers to toss you coins RIGHT NOW 🫵
