In other news I have a print shop now! ✨ the question has come up from time to time over the years so if you ever wanted to get my art for your wall/fridge/shrine (no judgement), now is your chance!! There's currently still a sale going on, and free worldwide shipping for the rest of today!

There isn't a whole lot there yet and I tried to organise it in collections for easier navigability, but I'm planning to update it slowly with some of my older work as well

If there is any piece in particular you'd like to get as a print do let me know and I'll see if I can add it to the shop! (it mostly depends on whether or not I kept the original file which unfortunately becomes less and less likely the older it is 😔)

rose!!! you don't know how happy you make me every time you draw lucanis. perfection. every single time. do you have any tips or resources for me as i'm trying learn drawing from scratch? lots of love xx

Aaaaa thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear that 💜

As for your question ... please keep in mind that I am self-taught so there are probably better people to ask for advice than me :'D I also don't know where you're at and what kind of medium you use, so I don't really have any resources but I know there are plenty of tutorials online for beginner artists, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding something that might help you! There is no one right way to draw so if you find that some of these techniques don't work for you, keep looking and find something that does 😌

My tip would be to get absolutely obsessed with something like a fictional character, to the point that you can't not draw them every free second of every day lmao if you enjoy drawing them you will probably enjoy drawing in general, and you will learn a lot just by studying your blorbo and figuring out how to put them to paper. Also, teach yourself to really look at the things and people around you and how to break everything down into simpler shapes that are easier to draw. You don't have to start with the entire house, just draw boxes and cylinders and circles first and then build the house from that, so to speak.

You can also study your favourite artists, try to figure out what exactly you like about their art and how you could work that into your own. And don't be shy to use references, you don't have to magically know how to draw everything only from your own imagination

Also also, please don't get discouraged if things seem like they take a long time or you feel like you don't make progress as fast as you'd like. It's a marathon not a sprint and art can absolutely be frustrating at times, no matter your skill level. But try to push through and keep at it! You'll never get better if you don't try and I guarantee you the world will be a better place with your art in it (especially in times of never ending floods of AI slop that has no real emotion or thought behind it). It will be really rewarding to look back at it later as well and see how much you've improved over the years.

And lastly (and most importantly), have fun!! Draw what sparks joy for you and try not to compare yourself to other people. Everyone's journey is their own <3
