@zenfanzine stuff! A really quick thank you sketch for Cheritz for giving us the green light. I wish I had had the time to do something more interesting than a bust but

[shegator]

love your style of Zen so much💕

Thank youu! I have another Zen queued for this week, I hope you’ll like that one too <3

[shegator]

Your Zen art and Jumin Elizabeth domestic picture give me life, thank you for taking time out of your busy scheduled to bless with this perfection, I know they are older arts but I like to return here and view them every so often. My top fav versions of them. May the Muses always bless your hands.

I haven’t been here in months and I got no ask notifications, so I have seriously no idea when I got this D: ! Glad I randomly went to check my inbox because this ask made my day 😭 Thank you so much friend, you’re too sweet!May the Muses be with you!

My illustration for the @zenfanzine ! This is what happens when you’re extra greedy and you want Zen to have his hair slicked back AND his hair down AND a man bun. And glistening abs.  It was a fun project and I hope everyone was as excited to see all the pieces on paper as I was!   Also tfw you look at art from months ago and just. wtf was I thinking

If you're taking domestic prompts, here's mine: Elizabeth kneading Jumin! Can't wait to see more!!

If the light doesn’t wake you up THE CAT WILL.Not really kneading, more like… poking him for food?Hope you like it & thank you for sending a prompt! I actually doodled this during the weekend and gave up using this week’s practice time on SoL prompts. I like to keep my word and I’m definitely going to draw some other domestic scenes from my asks, but a really big job opportunity came up and atm I exist solely to pass this test 🤘 send halp.

a series of composition tips i’d been sharing on twitter!

and since some people had asked, i’ve put up a pdf version of this on gumroad along with a layered psd of one of the example images too

tips would be really appreciated, but it’s up for free!

I cough up blood when I paint humans so here’s today’s much needed painting practice - w/ my usual 25-minutes time constraint. If you’re wondering why my style is all over the place, uuuh yeah I’m kinda dumping all my experiments here ~

FUCK THIS I SPERFECT, IT SHOWS THE ARM PRONATING AND ALL THE MUSCLES SHIFTING ALONG WITH THE WRIST

IT EVEN HIGHLIGHTS THE ULNA BONE  

HEY THIS IS THE ULTIMATE ANATOMY REF, FUCK THOSE MISLEADING TERRIBLE FUCKING “ANATOMY” TUTORIALS THAT GOEAS AROUND TUMBLR, THIS IS ALL OYU NEED, LOOK AT THE LATISIMUS STRETCHING OVER THE SERRATUS, THE PECTORAL MUSCLE MOVESUPWARDS AND OVER THE BICEP AND EXTENDS  ALONG WITH THE ARM THERES EVEN THE CORACOBRACHIALIS;. AAAA OMFG I’M SO HAPPYYYYYY

Admin Kin here: This is one of the most helpful references in our library, but I wondered if any of our followers might be able to help identify the color coded muscles? It would be great to be able to know what is what while practicing from these sheets!

[hamaonoverdrive]

Sure, @anatomicalart! The colors get reused between the arm/back angles so I’ll separate them.

Arm view: Red = Deltoids (all three heads are in one color) Blue = Latissimus Dorsi Green = Biceps Brachii Yellow = Triceps Brachii

Forearm: Red = One of the wrist flexors Blue = Brachioradialis

Back view, left side: Red = Deltoids (all three heads are in one color) Blue = Latissimus Dorsi Green = Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Teres Major Yellow = Trapezius (all groups one color)

Back view, right side: Red = Supraspinatus Blue = Serratus Anterior  Green = Rhomboids Yellow = Levator Scapulae

Blog plans and requests

YO! Here’s a bunch of updates on this silly blog & what to expect from it. I’ve been delaying this post for at least 2 weeks, end me. - My tags: the list is here. - A decent blog theme: What? Where? Hahaha not found ✌  Upcoming projects - slice-of-life fanart: - I’m planning to practice more on actual scenes. I’ll be dedicating one week (starting next week) of my practice time to drawing (HOPEFULLY) quick&expressive slice-of-life sketches. Like these two wips:

Why are they soaked and waiting for someone to open up the door?  ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯   

I need a Heliolisk parasol. You’re welcome to send in suggestions! Anything from a bar brawl to characters playing videogames together will do. I’ll mostly consider Mystic Messenger asks because I’m trash it’s a great excuse to draw people and group dynamics. And Pokemon because I get nostalgic in the spring.

Upcoming projects - personal: - I’ll be renewing my portfolio soon. Expect more personal pieces and original characters ~

Artist support I’m not using this blog for general reblogs but I still want to be supportive of other artists, so I’m definitely going to: - reblog useful art advice and anatomy refs here - do periodical artist features or make a sideblog devoted to reblogging and sharing inspiring art ...did you acually get through all this? You get a lizard blep 🦎 Have a great day!

Thats a sexy wip e////e my god

I was feeling a little frustrated with that wip, so this is definitely encouraging! Thanks anon, I’ll make sure to oil those abs~

[shegator]

EDIT: substituted with current version. This is finally going in a direction I don’t loathe :U Err I wanted to paint a very ambitious piece for Zen’s birthday, but as predicted, my schedule had other plans. So here’s a crop of my messy work in progress painting! Happy birthday to the character that inspired me to get out of my shell with my art, my career, and a lot of other things tbh  ❤

In which stickfigure!me gets lectured by a random monster ~ I’ve been using thin paper and ballpoint pen for daily sketching for a year now, which means watercolor is a no-no. I was craving color so I threw a bunch of sketchbook pages into Photoshop and this happened lol

YOUR ART IS BEAUTIFUL AND A GREAT INSPIRATION! I ADORE IT! PLEASE NEVER STOP!

Omg, you kind soul! Thank you so much!I sure won’t stop because art was always my greatest love & main preoccupation in life (plus it puts food on my plate :P) BUT I’m always ready to chicken out from posting online! Thank you so much for encouraging me. It really helps c:

[shegator]

>/////////> Thank you for checking my crap out. ❤ Haha, I really love your work... All of it. It inspires me to get out of my slump. I hope you're having a good day or night, and that you're keeping well. 😊

Oh boy, I know something of art slumps! Kick that thing in the ass!! I’m honored to hear that I’m insipiring you to get out of that. You’re welcome and thank you so much for writing to me - I hope you have a good day as well!

@sander-sonia Thank you, you’re so kind! I really don’t know what to say, so just know that everything about your message put a giant smile on my face - heart attack and all (sorry)! See you around ❤️️

A 2 hr sketch celebrating that feeling you get when your next key quest turns out to be a Stygian Zinogre hunt … 😑
