Hi i keep forgetting I have a tumblr so heres some sketches of Possibility I did :,)
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
someone: oh yeah, do this exercise during your warm ups! it’ll help
me: my what
What’s up I have an actual college degree in art and I was never ONCE taught to do warm ups.
when i was in undergrad, it was kind of mentioned in and offhand way that we should do warmups, but we were never shown what that meant. And, y’know, we were young so it didn’t matter so much.
Being older now and having an art job it’s…kind of essential.
So: a quick primer for those of you who are like ‘ok but how do i actually go about doing this warmup thing.’
1) you may be tempted to do ‘a warmup drawing’ which is just a drawing that will take longer than it needed to and probably be frustrating and kind of bad because you didn’t warm up first. It’s tempting but always a trick your brain is playing on you! Do not trust!
2) warmups will vary based on what feels good to you/what task you’re about to do/what motor skills you want to practice. That being said, some good standbys:
a) circles. Just a whole page of circles on whatever drawing surface you’re going to be using, whether that’s your tablet or your sketchbook or a drawing pad on an easel. For these circles you should make sure that you’re drawing from your shoulder and not your wrist. In fact, you want to be drawing from your shoulder rather than your wrist most of the time! forever! your wrist is delicate please preserve it!
In order to ensure that you’re drawing from your shoulder, when you’re holding your pencil or whatever drawing tool you’re using, the only part of your hand that should be touching the drawing surface is part of the last two fingers–some people prefer the finger tips, but I tend to favor the first knuckles. Either way, the fingers should really be ghosting over the surface, providing guidance rather than support.
I usually start with big circles and then go to smaller circles and lines of ellipses, and then try to fit circles and ellipses inside other shapes i’ve already drawn as a precision exercise, but i don’t do that unless i’m feeling loose
b) spirals! i don’t always do spirals, but if i’m stiff and the circles just aren’t cutting it, spirals are a good fall back. I start from the center and work outward, going both clockwise and counterclockwise until i feel comfortable with the whole range of motion. Some people really care about getting perfect spirals but for me it’s all about making sure i’m comfortable with how i’m moving so who really even cares about how the spirals look. Not me!
c) lines! straight lines! in parallel! i do a mix of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. These are often more from the elbow than the shoulder, especially if I’m working on a smaller surface. For this exercise, I recommend holding the drawing tool perpendicular with the surface
d) connect the dots. This is a precision and accuracy exercise and takes two forms. The first is to draw two dots and then draw a straight line between them. The second is to draw three dots and draw the curve that connects them. This sounds a lot simpler than it is in practice. Take time to ghost over the line you plan to draw before actually committing to your line. (I don’t always remember where I picked up my warm up exercises, but I’m pretty sure I got this one from Scott Robertson. His how to draw and how to render books are very technical but also accessible and worth checking out)
e) cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders. These help get your brain into a more volumetric space. I draw multiples of each, rotating the forms around, and I’ll often take the time to do some rough shading on at least a few of them
f) spidermans! This one is really good if you’re going to be storyboarding or working on dynamic poses. Just fill a page full of spidermans doing all sorts of acrobatics.
g) beans. I don’t do beans too much anymore, but I know a lot of people like it so I’m mentioning it here. Fill an area with different size bean shapes without lifting your pencil off the paper.
h) short medium and long line repetition. draw a short, medium, and long line on your page, and then draw directly on top of them 8 to 12 times, doing your best to exactly trace what you’ve already drawing. Repeat with a wavy line. I’m bad at this one, which means I probably need to do it more.
And there are lots more options too! Hit up youtube to see what other people recommend, put together your own go-to list, mix it up when you’re getting bored, etc.
This is a long list, I know, but I usually don’t take more than 10 to 15 minutes to warm up, and I can warm up one handed while I’m drinking coffee, so, multitasking hurrah.
Sometimes I’ll advance to a precision warmup and find that I haven’t loosened up enough yet; it’s totally ok to go back to an earlier exercise! Also, all of this has the added benefit of kind of ritualistically getting you into the drawing mode so even if I’m not feeling it before I start, by the time I’ve gotten to the end I’m usually Ready For Drawin’. Brain hacks.
so, yeah! that’s a lot of words, but! Warmups are important! Save your joints, take less advil, do better drawings!
hawkmoth is rich isn't he???? he could just,,,, get butterflies from somewhere else in the world??? right?? idk
Idk I feel like his butterflies are probobly part of the miraculous, otherwise you would see more than just white butterflies? Like if he was just attracting the butterflies there would be all kinds of different species? Might be wrong about that tho lol
Hey why doesn't ladybug keep the akumas when she turns them back. Like hawkmoth gotta run out of butterflies eventually??
Because it's animal cruelty...? Maybe?
No but like what if she had a like butterfly enclosure thing to put them in lol. Not like stick them in a Tupperware and poke holes in it but like what if her patio was screened off or something and she had a little butterfly garden ?
It would put whoever the garden owner to be Hawkmoth main suspect pretty fast but that would be BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
I didnt think about that lmao

I needed to practice animation so I decided to do something cute for wings of fire :0
U can see more of my animations and stuff on my youtube:

Idk if this has been done yet but I felt the need to create an alignment chart for peoples pets ive met irl.
(I have 5/9 of these pets too so dont even come for me about where they fall I said what I said.)
Hi I was doodling dragons and then I rlly liked this concept so here it is lol
Shes p free to use for background character stuff or or to send asks for but pls ask if u will use her first so I can see it :,)
I JUST REALISED THAT I FORGOT HER GLOW STRIPES IM AWFUL

I'm just tryna make some cool stuff :,)))
I'll hopefully have a full version of this on my youtube soon if anyone's interested lmao
Ok I might be a crackhead bc I can't find the prompt on ur account @drawing-prompt-s but I screenshotted it so I KNOW IT WAS THERE SOMEWHERE

Science: salt makes ice colder so u can make ice cream in zip lock bags!!
Also science: put salt on road!! Melt ice real good
I did a short flip book for my animation class 😅 kinda choppy but! Here it is :)
(Also, I like to go over the bone areas between the joints with an eraser to make it note natural looking??)
I've been dreading this ask for like a month lol??? I hope this helped though!! Its completely stylized so you can change this method however you want :)
Heres a lighting thing I did for my AP art studio class
You can see more work from that class on my Instagram (same name) bc I like never post on here lmao
