dan bday art nearly done............... i think... i just hope it like. Hits. the way i intended. it's kinda sentimental and sillyyy but <3 whateverrrrr it's time for dan hours lfg
finally got an idea for dan’s bday art that i should be able to finish in time and i am feeling Extra Evil while drawing it 😇 this lil guy is just a tiny part of it ♡ / more phan doodles here
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
alright so....i was gonna say this comic (wip pics below) --
-- but as I uploaded it and wrote the ALT text, I realised I haven't lost interest at all... This one specifically was inspired by this tweet sent to me by @chompingonuggets btw (shout AJ we love AJ's art in this house).
I promise to revisit this one day especailly as I still have an idea for a (hopefully) funny ending featuring future/current day phyuri... 👀 but it's just a lot to sort out rn and I have 😈 other phyuri ideas 😈 i wanna finish first :]
Honestly, I rarely lose interest in any of my art projects, it's more that I'm just bouncing between multiple projects and ended up Overwhelmed by how many ideas I have…especially the ones surrounding drawing d&p as lesbians 😔 what problem to have i know...💔 (ok i'll answer other questions (15 and 30) under the cut just so these messy gals can shine on their own without the post being too long lol).
15. *Where* do you draw
These days I'm usually drawing on our sofa in our living room as that way I can watch stuff on the telly at the same time :3 but sometimes I get too sleepy and pass out and my partner walks in on me like this:
i fr really need a proper drawing board or somethin to put my ipad on so i'm not fucking up my back/neck/shoulders/posture oh no
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
I'm not sure I can think of a specific example as I'm very grateful for any like/reblog/rt/comment/reply/reaction towards any of my art/comics... but I will admit it can be disheartening when I spend hours/days on something non-phanart related (which, granted, is rare at the moment if you look at my art tag) or an animation (my most recent one being this phil birthday video) and they barely get as much engagement as my other pieces 💔
I can generally get too obsessed over the number of likes/reblogs/comments/replies etc on my art, subsequently comparing that number to what other artists' art gets, and then compare my skills to other artists - which sucks!!! because so many of them I admire, am inspired by and have even been lucky enough to bond with/befriend 🥺🫶✨
I think overall I just really love getting rbs/comments/replies/messages over likes when it comes to engagement because it's a wonderful opportunity for me see what people think about my art and how it makes them feel - especially as someone who struggles with most social interactions 1:1 / in group chats / IRL. Being able to connect with people like that through my artistic endeavours will be always be something I cherish and it ultimately outweighs any feeling I may sometimes have around my art being 'underrated' or w/e hehe 🥰
I really am grateful for everything that comes my way, be it a keyboard-smash reaction, a funny meme/reaction image on twitter, a lil comment in the tags of a reblog or a wholesome [anon] message 🥹 I'd even be grateful for any well-meaning constructive criticism directed my way because that's just a chance for me to grow as an artist/writer! 💪✨ I do fr feel like a broken overly sentimental record but aahh I can't express how thankful I am to be here, to be able to make art that's a joy/rewarding to make and to have people who like what I love making 💖💖💖
