Haven’t been on here in forever but now I’m leaving lol. If you’re wondering where my art went it’s cause I took it off before they could scrape. I have an instagram you can follow me at: Instagram.com/Sarah.visel let’s see how long it takes before I’m screwed there too haha

Tumblr’s owner is striking deals with OpenAI and Midjourney for training data, says report

It’s been rumored on Tumblr for days.

Oh my gosh I love your blog!! Your artwork is goals❤ U ARE A MAJESTIC AND FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING how did u get to be that good at art? it would be awesome if u could look at my blog I have a bit of artwork I want someone's opinion:-)

Awe thanks so much for the kind words! I saw the artwork you mentioned, very fun! Just keep drawing, drawing, drawing! Draw from life! You will improve so much faster as you get that muscle memory when it comes to posing. Get a pen and a sketchbook and draw people and animals. Don't worry what the drawing looks like, just try to get the overall gesture and tilt in the pose.Happy Holidays! :)

Here’s a storyboard test I took for Star vs the Forces of Evil! I was given a premise and had to come up with the dialogue and gags and such. It was a lot of fun!

This is a really cute storyboard test from Star vs. The pacing is great, as Star and Marco’s interactions.

I’ve also seen around the web these two others test storyboard about “Trapped in Star’s room and running out of time”

Is this real though? I cannot tell… It’s really well done.

Oh thank you! This is a test Disney TV sent to me. This isn’t going to be in the show at all. But thank you so much for the kind words!

Storyboard tests are sent out so studios can see if an artist is the right fit for their show. Kinda like an artist version of a job app or resume in a sense. If that makes any sense hahahaha. Tests help when deciding who to pick for employment.

Hey, I love your art so much! It's always so cute（＾∇＾）What program do you use for your animation and art to get it like that?

Aw! Oh my gosh thank you so much! I got the biggest smile reading this! For those little animation GIFs I used Adobe Flash, but I absolutely love Toonboom Harmony. I animated with that a lot when I was still in school, it’s a bit pricey but I’m hoping to get it one day. I’d recommend Flash if you are just starting. For my art, I draw in Adobe Photoshop and I use a lot of Kyle Webster’s brushes. Some of his brushes are for free and others you can purchase. You can find his brushes here: https://gumroad.com/kyletwebster#For storyboarding, I use Toonboom Storyboard Pro. I love it to pieces. A lot of the time I just do a lot of experimenting and sketching. Which is my answer to “get it like that”. No program is gonna help you improve, you just gotta break out that pencil and paper and draw like crazy! I try to draw a couple hours a day if i can. I drew traditionally up until my sophomore year of college. I had never touched Photoshop or any of the other software I listed above. I was actually against digital software for a bit cause I struggled to switch over XD. But now I love it, and I’m still learning new things! That’s the great thing about art, you are always learning!  Also, don’t ever be discouraged by other people’s work. (I’m still trying to do this myself, it’s HARD not to compare your work to others.) But if it’s an artist you admire, or you have a friend and you admire their work, study how they draw. Also, DRAW FROM LIFE. Your art will definitely benefit from it!Hope this helps! And thank you so much for the kind words!
