can I study the anatomy you drew its good

I wouldn't suggest using my art to study anatomy, there are plenty of errors. But hey, I can't stop you. So just do whatever, I really don't get why you're even asking. I post my stuff online, so you guys can do whatever you like with it :D .

[olddivan]

So that's pretty much it, though there's actually more, but this is what I'm not embarrassed to show.

I also have some rough sketches for "wrestling". If I can be bothered to finish them, I'll put up a few more.

[olddivan]

Just wanted to show you my background....

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

ahahaha that's very cute!

[olddivan]

Oh, and I have snipers in thongs. It's all purely for the sake of anatomy, yeah, yeah…

[olddivan]

It's purely my state of mind to be suspended like this, a resigned skeleton.

I've been feeling a bit burnt out. It's not that I don't have ideas for drawings at some point, my brain just refused to outline the plan I needed clearly. Plus, with all these drones and the constant internet blocks, my anxiety has been flaring up lately. I'd love to get out of this country, but I just can't. On top of that, I got promoted at work, and I kinda threw myself completely into it, overworking so that no one would guess that I'm not fucking keeping up with deadlines, haha. But I haven't wasted my time I decided just to draw some random nonsense. A little later I'll post a bunch of anatomy drawings. I just need to finish them so that it's one big post.

I even learned that I can draw almost normal children, ывзхывзх

hii hello HIII!! i have a few questions!

have you been to art school? it looks to me like youve absolutely perfected everything in art, its amazing!

you draw sniper and demoman together a lot, do you ship them / think of them as best friends?

you are so cool and so amazing and your art is so perfect its literally my biggest inspiration to continue drawing and learning until it get as good as you because i dont think its even possible to get better than this

AGGHH!! i cant stress this enough! your drawings are perfect!!! thats all i wish you well goodbye!!!

I went to art school when I was about 12, but I got kicked out, ha. Later, though (by some miracle, since I was a terrible student), I got into college for Animation. So by education, I'm an animator, but I learned all the software on my own. In college we drew on tracing paper, and I made my diploma project in TVPaint and Adobe Premiere. For a while, I worked as a Flash animator, but honestly, animation isn’t really my thing. Alongside that, I drew a lot for myself and built up a portfolio to work as a concept artist. And now, with the rise of AI, it’s pretty much a downer. Instead of spending time improving my skills, I’ve had to learn how to work with AI, like Stable Diffusion, and I still need to learn how to train models, which doesn’t interest me at all… but I have to, because it’s becoming a must-have for the job (unfortunately…).

My skills grew even more when I worked for an indie studio. I did everything related to 2D illustration, but the game remained in early access on Steam.

About Demoman and Sniper. The logic is simple: if you're going drinking, you need a friend with a car.

regarding your last post with the incredible landscape drawings… i am really sorry to hear that your summer was not good. those drawings you posted there are extremely wonderful though! i‘ve been following you for some years now and your art gets more defined and dynamic with each time you post. and the way you convey details is astounding and THE COLORS oh my god. the choices of colors and how they work together is amazing! they are so vibrant and even in areas with lots of shadows you manage to make them stand out instead of getting muddy. i really wish to walk through these landscapes you have painted, they are absolutely lovely.

also a good mutual showed them to me because they thought i would like them and they were right i LOVE them 🧡

Your artwork was a huge inspiration to me in the past, and it still is. Even though I can't stand Overwatch, your drawings based on it are utterly gorgeous. It makes me want to thank the game for even existing, haha. I know I've pretty much ripped off your style in many ways, but I'm trying to grow and develop so I can eventually find my own path.

Thank you for continuing to follow my blog. It honestly blows my mind that a brilliant artist like you is still watching what I do.

Regarding the places in the picture, it's southeast Russia, and it's boring and sad there. And given the political situation, it's dangerous, but I hope this shit will end someday.

[olddivan]

Do you have any other socials I can follow you on? (And can I see Scout?) 🌞

I will definitely draw Scout, but I don't know when.

Telegram is where I'm most active these days. The thing is, my channel is in Russian, and it's not really popular outside the CIS. I might come back to Twitter eventually, but for the moment, it's just Tumblr.

I love how you draw faces and bodies! You make them so unique and individual and full of so much personality and emotion. I really really love what you’re up to with art!!!

We'll do our best to keep it up, sir!

[olddivan]

I want to apologize again to everyone I didn’t reply to last year. I’m hopeless at this, unfortunately ((((

I’ve managed to solve most of my problems, at least debt collectors aren’t bothering me anymore, and I haven’t been evicted from my apartment, which already lets me breathe easier.

I found my spirit animal.

[olddivan]

Right now I'm drawing a lot of anatomy sketches because I haven't done it in a very long time, and I'm starting to forget how people should look. Besides, my mind is totally occupied with my new job that I just started, so this is the perfect period to draw something simple. I'm vanishing as usual for a long while, but expect a big post.

[olddivan]

This is a slightly strange post for me to write, because I'm not used to writing anything like this, but I really want to thank everyone who responds to my work in any way.

I'm going through the most difficult period of my life right now, although to be honest, my life has never been easy, and now it has become even harder.

My father recently died, and no, I am not going to mourn that scumbag who, even after his death, did everything to fuck up the lives of me, my mom, and my sisters. Because of him, I'm now deep in debt. I have to work a lot, on top of dealing with my depression, which, thanks to the constant stress, has turned me into a filthy, stinking troll who's afraid to leave the house and can't sleep or eat at all. But I still have to work and deal with problems with the courts and the banks. I have to listen to threats from idiot relatives who threaten to set my door on fire. And this is my life, every single day.

The only thing saving me from this whole situation is drawing. You have no idea how much your comments mean to me, because I'm still a very insecure artist. I don't show a lot of my work because I don't think it's 'good' enough.

It might seem like I'm complaining (and honestly, I am), because many people have it much worse than I do right now, especially those living in war zones. I need to resign myself to the fact that this is my life for the next several years, but I will try my best to make it better and somehow work on myself. Thank you for continuing to follow me, even when I disappear for months at a time

[olddivan]

Oh, I almost forgot to show this thing. I was asked to draw it for a project, but unfortunately, they weren't happy with the result because my rendering isn't very good. But I hope I'll get better at it in the future.
