I wish I was btter at planning comics cuz I really don't know how to start the Pokémon one. I get a bunch of pages that I like the look of but then I scrap the idea because it doesn't seem like the right starting point.

I really struggle with writing lists and scripts and plot outlines and idk if that's down to ADHD or what but my brain just won't cooperate enough for me to start this damn story

Please send help in going insane

Brian David Gilbert is my spirit animal

More Louise sketches because I love her and I'm lowkey sad that she doesn't get much time in the spotlight during the prologue

[numbskullnexus]

Uh-oh...

Drafting some rough sketches for the Broken Oracles prologue and realising I'm absolutely out of my depth when it comes to laying out comic pages...

New character moment 👀

Asking for advice!

Before I end up colouring this (which may be a hot minute) anyone got any useful tips when it comes to colouring/shading darker skin tones? (+vitiligo colouring and shading tips would be super cool too)

I'm sick of exclusively drawing pale twinks because I'm scared of not getting it right 😅

It's ridiculous how hard it is to find pose refs sometimes.

Like for the past 3 hours I've been searching for pose refs for someone getting ready to leave the house. Putting a backpack on, putting on shoes, anything like that. Sounds simple enough, right?

I've found literally NOTHING.

Send help, or pose refs, I want to be free of this hell

You ever just have that weird art block?

I mean the kind where you're not short on ideas-- in fact it's the opposite. You have so many ideas, but when it comes to trying to get them down on paper you just can't.

Like not even a rough sketch.

All of a sudden it feels like you've forgotten how to draw because your ideas just don't translate to your art and you don't know how to fix it.

Everyone says "oh just draw literally anything and maybe you'll break through it" but the thing is what if you can't draw anything because your brain just won't let you.

Anyone else get that? Because I'm sick of just sitting at my PC sulking after throwing my tablet across the room several times a day trying to draw a thumbnail sketch of characters I've been drawing for years.

Couldn't sleep so I doodled a visual summary of today

[numbskullnexus]

Being an adult is having a birthday with no gifts and no plans and realising that your birthday is truly just another day of the year and that no one gives a shit that you've survived this long

[numbskullnexus]

Update: I got a single birthday card. I'll take that as the best I'll get and despite it being 5pm I'm going to bed because I just want this shit show of a day to be over.

Finally working on the redesign I've been putting off for over a year...

[numbskullnexus]

Realised I somehow had never gotten around to drawing Leon from SwSh and also realised I would eventually HAVE to at some point in the comic, so I got some practice in today...

And as much as I love this fella I have to say-- he looks like what happens when a mother choses her son's clothes for all of his childhood and then he moves out with no fashion awareness whatsoever. Man also looks like he cuts his own hair like my guy what is that do

I swear I may have to give him a slight redesign for comic panels because YIKES this man is a mess
