Day 2 of the daily drawing challenge without any reference.

It doesn't mean I lack inspiration or that I haven't seen any art during the day. It's just that I don't look at anything while creating this; I rely solely on my imagination. This process helps me understand how much I still need to learn and what I should focus on next.

I try to keep a schedule where I warm up, practice poses, and learn a bit of anatomy. It usually takes me about 30 minutes to an hour each day. I don’t make it too hard on myself so I can stick with it even when I’m feeling down and don’t want to do anything. It’s really helpful. I’m not sure about other artists, but for me, my art can be stunning at times and pretty rough at others, and I can’t quite figure out why. Maybe that’s just how it goes. But I’ve definitely improved compared to five years ago, so I’ll keep studying while I prepare for my next comic.

I didn’t become an artist to beg for likes and followers on social media. I became an artist because I love this journey of learning, creating, and sometimes failing until I find success. So instead of just doing trendy stuff for likes, I prefer to be myself and share my journey because it’s not about the likes. It’s about the people who want to join me on this journey, and nothing makes me happier than spreading a little positivity and energy to others.

I’ll share all my good and bad art in this challenge. If you want, you can join in and share your art with me. I’d be so excited to see others doing this alongside me. And if not, you can just watch me grow with each piece of art every day.

So stay tuned!

Some sketches for my new oc. What do you think? Personally i like the 2nd one.

Hello. Omg. You are back. I missed you so much. I love your art. 😍😍😍🥰 What is this new story about?

Hello beautiful 💕 Yes, I’m back—on and off, haha. It’s similar to my parallel project, but much simpler. I toned down the fantasy elements so I can focus more on the characters’ interactions and their moments together—especially the romance. Soon, I’ll also start working on more character designs for the others.

Being an artist is tough. Just think about it: you can't go a day without creating, but you end up hating everything because you want it all to be perfect. Sometimes I feel like my job isn't really a career; it's more like a gamble. Or maybe even a disease.

when you get the summoning instructions mixed up...

more ocs! I had this idea for a comic years ago but I didn't really think of doing anything with it unless it was a long running comic, but then I thought covering this interaction alone for starters was fine too 👍

current mantra

[valeriehalla]

(a realization about dialogue formatting, from a comic artist turned novelist.)

One of the first things a novice writer learns about speech tags is that they’re part of the “scaffolding” of prose. They should be largely invisible to the reader: use them when necessary, omit them when not, and be sparing in the application of verbs other than “said”. They serve only the function of clarifying who is speaking when it is necessary to do so.

Except:

Sometimes you might want to use a speech tag in spite of the redundancy. The fact that the reader’s eyes slide right over them is an exploitable property. By slicing a line of dialogue in half with a speech tag, you can force the reader to perceive a meaningful pause between two utterances—and the effect is much stronger than you might get out of an ellipsis or an em dash. Developing an intuition for when and how to do this is a huge part of learning to write dialogue, I think.

(And yes: if you ever wondered, this is exactly same the reason why comic artists sometimes “double bubble” their speech bubbles. Same end, different means!)

"It took me TWO years to finish this sketch book!" Well that's cuz you're not fuckin sketching. Those are fully painted pieces dawg that's a renderedbook. I've gone through four sketchbooks in my off time this year alone I just draw stupid faces and shit for fun. pussy up like the rest of us and start drawing stick figures with guns

[justasillynerd]

I can't express how damaging this has been to young artists.

Of the many things I struggled to explain to my students "Your sketch book is mainly for practicing techniques, practicing new things, NOTES, and dumb doodles that come to your mind that can inspire you later or help lead you to a good idea. It is NOT where you draw you final pieces. Please kill that darling," is pretty high on the list.

I legit started calling it a "first draft" book to activate prior knowledge from English because influencers have destroyed the concept of sketchbooks.

[negintoon]

I agree, =(

It's really enjoyable to browse through their sketchbooks, but to be honest, it's not really a sketchbook. My teacher always advised us to use inexpensive paper instead of traditional sketchbooks, so we could practice quickly and messily every single day. I recall having boxes filled with paper where I practiced poses and various techniques. After 12 years of my artistic journey, I've never owned a fancy sketchbook.

I realize the artwork is a bit chaotic, but I needed to make his body appear stronger. I was pleased with it initially, but now I feel he doesn't look tall enough. What do you think?
