A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food. 

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!

Ando Ui did an MV collab with Vicke Blanca and she’s just so cute in it.

I did so want to make this axolotl quickly, but a new commission at my job drained my time and energies.

But here it is.

My idea of digital gouache in Photoshop.

Hello! I just wanna say that I really love your art! Also, I kinda wanna ask you for a few tips for shading since I really suck at that and you're so GOOD AT IT :DDD sorry if this was asked before and thanks in advance if you replied ^^

Hi! Thank you so much! <3Here’s how I shade digitally. I use Clip Studio Paint EX, and draw with XP Pen Artist 16.

Sketch. 

Here’s a sketch of Deku. I make sure I’m happy with it because I don’t want to be changing major things in the lineart phase.

At this point I also draw in the guide for the shadows/lights. I try to think of items that are “easier” to shade when I do this and imagine that as a replacement to what I’m actually shading. In other words, I think of Deku’s hair as “fluffy clouds”, because if I don’t think of it as human hair, the task suddenly feels less daunting. …Does that make sense? 

Here’s more examples of what I mean. Deku’s hair is made out of several simple shapes like this:

What I generally do is to break down one complex item into many simple items. 

Lineart. I draw a lot of random lines/shapes when drawing my lines to avoid the super clean lineart look:

I draw more shapes on his hair and start filling them in.

Let’s see that again:

Here’s the finished lineart. I went ahead and gave him a bigger smile so he looks more like Deku.

A little color…:

And done! I hope this helps somehow TuT

Trivia: @backyard08​ corrected me on calling this animal a sheep when it’s a ram.

Made with an 8B pencil.

It’s a WIP before coloring it.

This little lizard took me awhile. But now it’s finished.

Reblog if you can speak, read, or at least kinda communicate in more than one language.

Have to practice feathers more often.

Seriously.

For a good friend of mine whom I’m looking for at Tumblr, there’s also this bunny called Ume.

[oierintxausti]

Now I colored it.

@backyard08 loves water yippers, so there’s one.

Next time, I ought to paint in color first instead of black and white.
