Nazia's Art Dump

I may have stubby fingers, but at least they're talented

Hi, I'm Naz, She/Her.

I draw. Sometimes it's good, other times… eh, not so much.

I'm the @depressed-demoness.

An old sketch of mine.

I kinda miss when my art was this simple.

Stylized sketch of my brother I did a while back. I blurred the ref photo out for privacy, but just so you know, he did take a selfie like that (that's a mandarin in his mouth btw) We're all weirdos in my household. Colored ver (a WIP?). under the cut.

Kinda not too happy with the way the rendering came out (still working on it lwk), but this was a very lazy attempt so it's not too bad. Especially considering the fact that I did it without my stylus (go me!) Might do a cleaner version later(?)

Mandala-ish doode that I think turned out really cute :P

*doodles violently* Wait wait. I actually kinda know how to do this *violent doodling intensifies*

I just remembered that I can draw pretty people with piercings instead of wallowing in depression.

I love the way you render! 😭💕 How do you pick your colors?

I remember like, years ago watching this video by Keinan Lafferty (I think) on youtube, and used the 'banana method' or whatever he called it in that, which is essentially making a curved 'banana' shape on your colour picker

essentially, the idea is, using your base colour (or, mid tone), you progressively shift the colour lighter and more de-saturated for your lighter tones, and inversely shift progressively darker and more de-saturated from your mid-tone for your shadows.

You can see in my colour-picked example here that it is not a perfect semi-circle, but it was generally the basis for how I'd pick colours, and then would tweak them from there.

How I'd tweak the colours usually is with the help of overlaying gradient maps. I'd also tweak colours in especially shadows, where I'd intentionally use a slightly lighter grey for the illusion of 'cooler' tones in shadows, and darker more saturated tones along the edges where the shadow meets the light.

I've more recently started trying out using triadic colour schemes, where I pretty much jump to the opposite side of the colour wheel for my shadows and light.

This image on twitter sort of sparked my inspiration to experiment more with that (image is linked to the original post) but I am still trying to get the hang of it still 🥲

Your artstyle is like your gut microbiome in the way its everything you consume and like and it also has all your bacteria up in it. Thats probably how that works

HEY PEOPLE. GUESS WHO'S BACK IN THE BUSINESS. IZ A-ME. Aaaand, I've brought with me another Killian sketch. Look at my lovely son :')

Ah, oh my, I do terribly miss drawing. If only my hands could STOP SHAKING, perchance? *squints hintingly at hands*

[nazia-draws]

Apparently it's stress induced *le sigh*

Quick doodle. I kinda hate this one.

On already ruined paper this time. There was a different sketch there, doing this one over it (after having erased the paper to it's fibres smh) was stretching it, even for me.

Curse me and mine heavy hand!
