would you ever consider doing speedpaints of your art? you dont have to, ofc, id just be really interested in watching your process :)

hello! aaa i'm so happy there are people interested in seeing the process so thank you!! :'DD I usually upload my speedpaints to youtube, but lately I haven't had the time to make videos because of school and portfolio :')

This speedpaint is probably closest to what my current painting process is! Though it varies and changes all the time :D

I also got asked a while back about my heavypaint speedpaints, and I'll be working on uploading a few pleinairpril timelapses onto my youtube (probably in August)!

Idk if you'll even read this or not, but the piece you did with Peter Parker ft chemistry notes/procrastinating on homework is absolutely gorgeous and adorable and just. every single positive adjective in the entire universe. Honestly, you are just so freaking talented ? I just spent 15 minutes just staring at the art and taking in all the little details that you hid in the piece and just?? w o w

ADSFJKL;;; thank you so much anon :’O no emoji or drawing can describe how touched i am aAAA;; it means a lot because I remember I had a lot of fun drawing that piece all those years ago;; (spiderman piece)

//also sorry if i missed any asks! I wasn’t active on tumblr for a while so it might have deleted a few;; but thank you everyone for your messages and asks :’))

I love your art a ton. The characters are super expressive and the poses are super dynamic. Can you give some tips about posing and expressions?

thank you anon! sorry your question is a bit vague because there’s a ton of things I could say about improving posing/expressions :’D but I think the best thing anyone can do is study from life, and never copy! always interpret!

I don’t usually post my exercises here, but here are some various studies from life/video. It helps to go into a study with a goal instead of trying to copy every single detail. A lot of times, less is more. When I’m doing these quick studies, I’m trying to simplify it to give it the most accurate readability.

For expressions, I might be focused on pushing proportions, or studying the planes of the face, or taking notes on what parts of the face determine x expression (usually the eyebrows, mouth and shoulders).

(from the Wednesday caricature sessions I host on warrior painters; mark took some funny photos for us to draw)

For life drawing, it’s a lot of things asjdkfl;;; at this point I already have a style and I’m used to juggling 10 different “things to achieve”. But when I first started, I would take a few drawings to focus only on line quality/line weight (which lines should be soft/hard? which should be thick/thin?), anatomy (understanding WHAT exactly I’m drawing and HOW I’m going to simplify it, or if it’s even important for a gesture drawing), and the bean (using the bean/torso to create a more dynamic pose; often poses look stiff partly because the torso is stiff/flat).

(life drawing from school, done with conte on 17″ x 24″ newsprint, some done from life and some done from zoom because school was online this year)

With other sketchbook/fun observational drawings, I try to focus on capturing the essence of the person when I first see them. What is the big thing that stands out to me? What elements stand out to me? Is it the giant arc in their back? Or their giant nose? Their giant hat? Don’t try to emphasize everything, because then it’ll just be distracting/ugly. In order to bring out the focal point, the other parts of the person should be even more simplified. There were tons of wrinkles, folds, landmarks and other things going on in the references. But it’s your job as an artist to pick and choose what you choose to say. Oftentimes, what you don’t say is more important than what you do say.

(drawings from life; our neighbours across the street were having a wedding)

And yeah that’s somewhere you can start! Hope it helps! If anyone is interested in more in depth tutorials and/or critiques, you can check them out on my patreon :’D (just made one about stylization and how to break down a reference for character design)

Just wondering, but what application did you use when you were drawing on your phone? :0

hi anon! gonna assume this is from the same anon but yes I use heavypaint to paint on my phone. I did not pay for the full version because I have an older version, but it’s only around $6 which is super cheap compared to other art programs. And I’ve never been able to find a good painting program to paint on my phone until Heavypaint; I really like the limitations and it’s the closest you can get to traditional pleinair (in my opinion) :D

The program is developed by Vaughan Ling (amazing art, looked at his work for inspo during pleinairpril) and I’m pretty sure it’s just him developing heavypaint by himself, so definitely go support him if you can :D
