Okay here are some artist tips from me because these are what kindof helped me more than just "keep practicing" and because I am willing to give you this information:

START DRAWING IN PEN AND USE REFERENCES oh my god I started doing this and I improved more in a month than everything I did in a year it's a miracle that pens exist I love pens mwah mwah mwah (reason: when drawing in pen you see your mistakes more clearly, and when you see them more clearly it's easier to learn from them. Also teaches you line confidence)

If you are having art block steal ideas and existing material from the outside world and combine them into a small visual soup. I don't care if it doesn't "make sense" just do it

Set little quests up for yourself like "from today on to the next week I'll draw houses" or something like that. Also draw things that you think you'd never ever be able to draw from time to time it helps the mind

Study anatomy. And the diversity it can form. Please🙏 I want you to learn how to draw fat people it's good for your brain🙏🙏 also learn to draw people of colour please IT'S NOT JUST "YOUR STYLE". LEARN HOW TO DRAW BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE. PROPERLY (flaming text flaming text flaming text flaming text also pro tip palms are always lighter than the skin tone itself)

First break down what you want to draw in shapes, afterwards study the sillhouette👍 this is useful for pen drawings and also gives you an idea of where your shapes need to be

Anyways that's all for now I'll add some things when I have more time❤️❤️❤️ yay

I know I’m supposed to be impartial but personally I’m really rooting for Nyarlathotep. I haven’t played either Persona 2 but from what both the submission and my friend who has played them have told me I’m very compelled. He sounds like the worst in such fascinating ways.

to be completely honest a lot of the reasons i like santiago's design are very selfish. i like that he is short because i am short, i like that he has small eyes bc i have small eyes, i like his crooked teeth because mine are not straight, i like that he's tan bc i am and i like that he's not skinny because same here.

if i think about it a little, all the traits we have in common are traits ive been made fun of for in my life (esp having them as a woman lol) and i remember being really struck when i first saw TOL that HE was the protagonist, because in any other comic he would be a side character at BEST. i think its the first time i had so much in common with a main character

had crit today and i didnt get the memo that it wasnt going to be like an actual crit, just saying nice things about one another's work, so i gave a genuine critique to this girl in the beginning and then no one else gave any actual crit for the rest of the entire session and im still thinking about it almost six hours later like omg i feel so bad actually..... dwelling on it in the shower with my full entire head and face submerged under the running water....

I just wish when people had problems they would fucking communicate!!!!! With me!!!! I'm not so fragile that I would rather u skirt around me than we discuss it.
