Hi so I’ve thought for a while now that I may not only be asexual but also aromantic. But - problem is, I realized I have no idea what the definition of romance is, or what ‘romance’ would mean to *me*. I think for the longest time I thought ‘romance’ was just like… a vibe. A descriptor for a vibe. Like how someone may be ‘bubbly’ someone else my be a ‘romantic’

And I’m not sure how to figure out if I’m aromantic or not if I can’t even figure out what romance is! Can you help me out perchance?

As I've been repeating today it seems – I'm so so sorry for replying so late TwT Life's been a bit crazy, in a good way but still...

...I'll be honest, it's probably gonna be disappointing but I'm in the same ironic conundrum. I can't even explain what is not in me properly when it comes to romance, because it's so hard to even understand what it entails in the first place!

It mostly comes down to a gut feeling for me, that I developed from observing my peers, of "I don't know what romance is really but I sure as hell don't feel whatever these other people describe as romance", or something like that. Like... The gut feeling that what I experience isn't romance. I can't pinpoint the factors very precisely, but I guess I don't feel the "grandiosity" that seems to come with the feeling of romance, that whole all-encompassing importance that people put on these relationships. I also don't have a favorite person, personally – I have like, favorite groups of people, but that's about it, it's tough for me to fathom the idea of putting one front and center above the others, if it makes sense. And I guess that's another thing from romance that I don't understand. The tunnel vision on one person above others. And possessiveness, too, in a sense. I don't know. There's a fair amount of those things that intersect enough for me to be like "yep I certainly don't tick enough 'romance boxes' to be feeling romance", if that makes sense.

Certainly isn't a very scientific approach but that's the best I have TwT I hope it helps even a little bit!

Not really a question but Idk where else to put this-

Idk because I’m shy and don’t wanna put this in the discord. But like, genuinely I love your art style so much. The way you draw poses, weapons, expressions, it’s amazing! Honestly I have half the mind to do a study on how you draw, and maybe learn something along the way.

Oh shit I just thought of a question I can ask you- got any art tips? I’m an artist myself, but also a minor, so I don’t have the most experience, also being self taught and all. I just find characters so hard to draw at times, how do you do it man (not gender specific) ??? How are you so good at art - teach me yo ways

UEUEUEUEUEU THANK YOUUUU--It means a lot you saying that. I often get a bit insecure of my art but hearing people they like it washes that away. So I'm very grateful for everyone on that.

I'm always learning and finding new ways to improve, to level up what I have so I'm very happy to see that effort paying off <3

As for art tips I'm really bad at giving those--I can only share with you the ones that worked for me, or the ones I discovered whilst making art. Also there's no worries in being new to art, or being self taught. I'm 80% self taught as well, only having real art classes when I got into high school [Finding art schools is hard here in the Philippines due to it being a subject that isn't focused too much] so I understand the struggle of wanting to improve but don't know how. So here are some tips I learned and created for myself that have worked and helped me

• Don't focus too much on the sketch. The sketch is only the FIRST phase so there's no need to focus on details, just keep drawing and see where it leads • If you get frustrated at your work, take a break. Don't push yourself, that will only make it worse and will lead you to lose motivation to do art [learnt this the hard way] • NEVER compare your art to others, same with your progress or skill level. Art isn't a contest, never was, never will be. You can compare to get information to share tips but If you think you need to take a step back then do so. • If you think you're not making any progress then look back at your old art and compare that to your most recent one to see the improvement. Show yourself some proof that YES you did improve and your still improving. Give yourself a pat on the back! • You gonna get sick of hearing this; USE REFERENCEEEEEEE using reference is so so so so so so important I kid you not--it is vital when it comes to improvement. Whether it your own ref using selfies or even just a photo of your hand, or using pinterest to find a variety of poses, using reference is always helpful in guiding you to certain areas your not well versed in • If your someone who wants to improve lineart number one key is patience. I know, I know--it's frustrating and tedious but patience is required if you want to make it work. Patience AND exercises, specifically ones where you have to practice certain line movements, muscle memory, and constant experimentations on the pressure sensitivity of your tablet. If you are a traditional artist that same can be said with handling a real pen with additional practices of self control over the pen and hand movements. • When practicing a certain area like let's say expressions [my beloveddd] don't be afraid to break boundaries, when I say this I mean go beyond the normal bounds oh how expression usually are irl. Exaggerate them to make the character feel more alive, to really emphasize what they're feeling towards the audience • For drawing characters the best I can tell you is to make them 'pop' not just in colour but in design and personality. Breathe life into them and give them aspects that stand out, from crazy hair styles to quirky habits or even just small details like adding certain details to their clothing to help recognize that this is part of the characters personality.

There's no definite way of explaining how a person is so good at art [not one I'm aware of at least] All I can say is I got to where I am through sheer will, constantly fighting myself to not listen to any negative comments, practicing confidence in my work [still working on this one to this day], and never letting go of what I'm passionate about. Art is a part of me just a much as I'm a part of it. It helped me get through a lot and continues to do so, my love for it will never faded <3

ANYWAYS! Apologies for the long ass respond--I wasn't expecting to write this much BUT I do hope this helps!
