“Leave the Leaves” editorial illustration I neglected to post

I've been studying botany lately for the art book I'm working on, and, while not getting tooo bogged down in scientifically accurate things, still happily trying to apply some little details while drawing the flowers in my recent pieces :D thinking about what makes each specific flower itself.... that sort of thing 🌸🌺🌼🌻🌷🌹

#random rambling #art #will continue to be kinda inactive art-wise ;v; as i work on these bigger projects #ty for bearing with me #yeah in the meantime just been making these more chill comfortzone pieces #i need to get better at (animal (including human)) anatomy.................#oh my lourd #artists on tumblr #dragons #cat

School For Dragon Babies (1884) + Seminary For More Advanced Dragon Babies (1892)

Dragons are one of my favorite mythical creatures and you draw them SO FREAKING MYSTICAL AND WHIMSY, like I’d love to live in one of your drawings forever and finally feel peace. Would you happen to have any tips for a wannabe fantasy artist? I’m just redoing fundamentals at this point and have no idea what to even work on next and every time I see your work I just get so inspired ahhhh

THANK YOU so much! ;_; wow that means a lot..

HMM well, beyond fundamentals, art tips per person will completely depend on their goals. A lot of the art I submit lately is finding themes that are important to me and expressing them in a way that can also hopefully/probably resonate with other people too.

I think looking inside yourself and asking "why" and "what story am I trying to tell" will help you find concrete information of how to improve your next specific skills.

a lot boils down to "storytelling in art" -- the language of cinematography is a great subject to look into. and after you figure out the stories you're trying to tell and why, there's 100% gonna be dozens of free + incredible resources that can tell you everything you'd ever need (who can explain better than me and are beyond my skill :D)

#random rambling #hope that was helpful at all ;_;#i struggle giving general tips because everyone is so different #in goals and how they learn and everything #it's so easy to write an entire novel without actually saying the things someone needs to hear for their situation #i think understanding what you're trying to say w your art is always a good place to start

I just want to say that I love your art and I hope you do a BIG,hundred pages art book one day full of this beautiful drawings you make,hard cover and all. I'm gonna be the first one buying it 🥰

I'M CRYING THANK YOU T_T!!!

that means a lot to hear rn because i've actually spent the majority of my time lately working on an art book (tho unfortunately i also had the terrible idea to give it a Plot (TM) so it's becoming 100x more labor-intensive than it needs to be) and...

I know financially books aren't... a great idea to pursue, but I just want to at least try! so, the interest means a lot ;_;!

#random rambling #im dying squirtle #like i didn't realize the scale of how much more financially viable some merch is compared to others #when you make art your job #on paper... making a book is probably #80 or smth in priority #;_;#but i love books (and have grown to really hate posting online)#so imma at least try #THANK U

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know

Just wanted to say my zine arrived yesterday and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!! Thank you!!!

T_____T I'm so honored to hear that! Thank YOU

#random rambling #;v;

so there's this shrink plastic that you draw on and then heat and it shrinks... I was thinking I could make a keychain with it. Could i trace one of your dragons onto it? Only for myself obviously, but they're really cool and i love dragons so.

OMG SHRINKY DINKS 😭

Yes please go ahead! In general yeah I'm totally fine with people referencing/tracing/printing my art for personal use.

But yeah. This sounds super cute, I'd really love to see if you do get around to it! ;v;

#funny enough I've been thinking a lot about shrinky dinks the last few months #one of those ancient mediums that im like 'oh my god theres so much potential'#and it does lend itself well to the 'itty bitty dragons' theme #random rambling

(asking anonymously so as not to dox myself)

i took my copy of your pacific northwest dragons zine to spokane's zinefest this last weekend! whenever someone gave me something for free i would 'trade' showing them the zine in exchange, and it never failed to delight them. genuinely i adore it. we were all there like i've been there! i know those plants! i'm happy to see your post on expanding the idea, and i wish you luck with it :)

OMG thank you so much, what the ;____; that’s so cool!!!

tbh, that whole project started as a way for me to familiarize myself with the exact trees/plants/flowers i see everyday yet didn’t necessarily know all the names/how to identify them. i’m honored my rough observational sketches were still somehow recognizable. lol thank you again ;_;

(btw i adore spokane it’s so beautiful here i just got here but do not want to leave)

#random rambling #ok but #i’m so excited to expand on it fr #i figured out the perfect framing device #i gotta be patient tho cuz i have 1 other book i gotta finish up first

Hi! I bought a copy of your PNW dragons zine, and it came in the mail today! It's so gorgeous. I really just wanted to thank you for including the desert in it. I no longer live in Washington and have no plans to move back for various reasons, but i grew up in the Tri cities, and it feels like everyone always forgets our part of WA exists. But the desert is just as beautiful as the mountains and the rainforest and it made me emotional to see it depicted with just as much love, care, and beauty as the forests were. I bought the zine because part of me will always be incredibly nostalgic for the place I grew up and I'm just really glad I did, it's making me feel so emotional in my kitchen right now😭💖

i’m SO UNBELIEVABLY HEART-WARMED RN, thank you so much for this message ;_; I’m happy to hear it resonated with you!

I have lots of lovely memories there too, since my gma lived there and we would visit her a lot. both my parents and gma have passed on, but it makes me think back on those adventures even more fondly… but despite loving it i was still kinda worried it wouldn’t look as nice as the other 3 because it felt easier to “exaggerate” aspects of the rainforests; desert beauty tends to be more subtle, yet also SO vast… so basically FR im happy to hear that THANK U AGAIN ;__;
