artist pro tip: leave art (as a hobby) for so long that when you come back you can't tell or remember what was wrong with your wips

#like i know i was experimenting with lineart styles or something but idk the difference between these layers #and then i don't remember what things i'd tried and failed on the mouth shape #😭#shepposting #hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #i mean obviously this isn't a GUD thing but like #part of me is like i guess just go with whatever this is

missing being an artmy hours

#shepposting #remember what it was like to be part of an online art community #like 7 years ago #that was cool

doodled this like half a year ago and have barely drawn anything since

I'm not sure where my artist self is

I'm not sure I can ever get it back

#shepposting #bts #bangtan #shephart #bts fanart #yoongi #bts hybrid au #and honestly when I doodled this it was also after not drawing for a while #im just like #im like totally lost in terms of visual art #im just gone #it's left me #i miss it #but i cant ever seem to spend enough time doing something to get good at it

Made this back in April for the @btscoloringbookproject , never got around to coloring it, but nobody else did either. Here it is. Download it, deface it, have fun, whatever. Pls credit if you happen to do so?? You know the drill 👉👉

#holy shit I miss him so much #I almost didn't recognize him in these gifs #not art

#the likeness isnt rly likenessing so its Just Some Guy #im so tired rn #idk why i just felt like posting this somewhere even tho #shephart #wow look a trad i havent done one of these babies in a thousand years #honestly pretty fun to not have to think of being on model/replicatable design #but that obv led to... less recognizability and also did it even help my efforts/art skill overall?#meh i cant be too picky tho when i only draw like an hour or two weekly i cant expect too much i guess #not bts #not tagging this w proper tags tho bc embarrass #i quite liked the bg color i slapped on it digitally tho lmao #trad to digital bc i wasnt confident to put blue originally bc i thought it would look patriotic #i can always count on tumblr to be my cosy void i can throw things into #love a cosy void #no expectations is actually the best

finishing up an older drawing I've had lying around

#bts #bts fanart #bangtan #bangtan fanart #kpop fanart #taehyung fanart #taehyung #bird!Taehyung #v bts #what do ppl tag #hybrid au #bts hybrid au #shephart #I haven't drawn bts in a hot minute to be honest #and I probably wont have this style the next time I do but I still like it #wips on my IG whenevr I get around to posting it on there

drawing stylized fanart of real people is just going through all the stages of grief in figuring out which elements of the face to let go of and which ones to keep…

#shepposting #not art

"Can I look into your eyes?"

"Why?"

"I just told you not to ask."

this show has my entire heart in a vice grip since I watched it last July and it might just be my favorite show of all time. ty, show, for bringing me so much joy.

as a fanartist who has primarily drawn BTS it's kind of fascinating trying to draw new guys after them bc I've legit spent like 7 years staring at the boys and getting to know their faces in different angles and literally practicing and testing how to simplify their shapes in my own way but retain their likenesses, PLUS learning the shape language and trends that FANDOM and other fanartists have created for each of the members and how we recognize them in art separately from their actual photos and video appearances

and trying new ppl is somewhat like starting from scratch for me
