a genuine question how did you do anatomy that looks simple and minimalist kind of??? can you share tips perhaps??

Im really admire you and inspired with your art that motivates me to try draw again 😭

i think i'm just super lazy and stupid so i'm looking for shortcuts like "this reference shows a complex line with unpredictable pattern, but I can kind of see that it can be simplified to a single line so i'm not gonna waste my precious energy on thinking about complicated things" and then i think "but this shape kinda has depth so i should smack few random lines to show it (mostly at creases)" so it's just about being lazy yes here's some of my studies bc i do them for fun

Your stelle is so beautiful. Love her when she's doing violence, love her more when her gremlin urges are set to max. Your Stelle has the vibe of a dog model to be. Beautiful graceful, when I get out from the bathroom I see she has something in her mouth and there are new bite marks on the furniture

thank you i love stelle

Hello! I have a question, how do you get your art to be so expressive and dynamic? I love how alive your characters seem and they always just seem so dynamic, whenever I try to give my characters expressions they end up looking silly and it's the same with poses... It's especially annoying when I just want to doodle some cute scenes with my favs and they end up looking like monsters 😅

never be afraid to be too extra in your art. there's always not enough of you being extra. be so extra so everybody else feels sick around your art. always push yourself to being extra in art. like annoyingly extra. like this kneecap should not be here. why its here. because i said so. is this a spiral on your palm? yes. i wanted to push this shape and i can't render so i put a spiral on it. what people gonna do? i already did it. thats my style. i'll put a spiral on my characters cheeks if i want to and nobody could stop me from it. be extra. make a mess.
