4: Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Already answered that, but another one like that is Hornet from Hollow Knight/Silksong. I guess I just can't settle for a design I like for her, so I never posted much drawings of her that I made

[oppie-one]

hello!!!!!

Can you answer 4, 7, 8, and 11?

#4 Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Honestly, any character with a human face. A quick example I can think of is Jayce Talis from Arcane. I looove him but can't draw his features right for the life of me

#7 A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

One of these would be oil. I love the look of oil paintings and actually hope to try it myself one day. Fiber arts are also good once, I'd never have enough patience for those tho

#8 What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

Considering I have lots of ideas that didn't see the light, there are a ton of those. But I have a really unhealthy coping mechanism to forget every thing I failed, so I just don't remember any of them.. Sorry

#11 Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

Yes! All the time! It's mostly music that fits the vibe of what I'm drawing or random long videos and rarely podcasts

Lazy Mirage drawing that doesn't mean anything I'm still in art block

I remembered that these guys had canonically escaped. Really wanted them to try and live their best lives here

[trottingbytheevenings]

In the past month I finally got my hands on some houseplants. I always wanted to keep a few and took my chance when I found these two abandoned in the art school I used to work for a bit. Nobody really cared for them there (the second one was literally found in an empty bucket) so I rescued them.

And to my relief, they both bounced back to life after some time.

Here is their progress (also featuring succulents I got from the same place in a good condition and spathiphyllum my mom shared with me from her own one)

For artist ask game: 2, 8, 30

#2 Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

Depends on the mood, I think. But as of right now it's left

#8 What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

Hmmm. There are a lot of little ideas I had that never seen the light. But the biggest one I think might be another comic I hover draw cause I overestimate myself

#30 What piece of yours do you think is underrated

It's this one. I was rather disappointed at how little attention it got despite how much I spent on it at the time. But oh well, that happens

Thanks u for the asks!

1 and 15 for the art ask game?

#1 Art programs you have but don't use

I used Sai2 for a while after I got my drawing tablet, but recently switched to Krita. I still use Sai2 sometimes, but for things that aren't digital art. I also somehow pirated Adobe Animate without catching a virus but also didn't used it much. Same for Blender, too..

#15 *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

In my room, most of the time. I would draw outside if I wasn't so anxious, tho

Thank u for the asks!!

#5 and #6

5# Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

Hmm. I think it's about 80 vs 20 percent. I try to post everything I draw that I'm proud of, both for archive purposes and for others to see. I don't like gatekeeping my art

6# Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Oh, that's interesting. I think that might be clothes. I like going to second-hand shops, and just from looking at stuff, I get inspired. Makes me wanna dress characters I like like Barbie dolls..

Thanks for the ask!

Gabriel peacefully preening himself in Heaven

This one started like a lazy sketch, but then I liked it enough to turn it into something somewhat finished.

There's also a thing about his horns (or that golden halo thingy on his helm) that I think could confuse people the way I draw it. So I imagine him having the default version of those in the beginning and then rocking the full-on horns once he becomes Judge of Hell. So yeah, here he's already in that role

#20 Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

I'm being completely honest and clear here. Feet... Not in a fetish way, I just like their form and find it pretty enjoyable and easy to draw

#21 Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

Hmmm.. I really like very decorative styles. Like when there's a bunch of patterns and detailed frames around the artwork itself. I dunno if that has a name. I like drawings that I can stare at for minutes and just admire the details

#22 What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

Well, sometimes I moisturize my eyes if I'm drawing something big, but I'm not sure if I can call that a physical exercise

Thank u for the ask!
