I know Jon hair timeline is something usually used to express change throughout the seasons but I propose Jon glasses timeline where it’s like s1 regular blocky glasses -> s2 same glasses taped up around the corners -> s3 one or both of the lenses cracked/shattered maybe even in a spiderweb pattern -> s4 lose them altogether
I’ve had such a wild half a year n haven’t had much time or energy to draw but lots of personal growth has happened… ough. very grateful for my profs this semester for being angels and im just. pondering so much…
I want to keep making art about bodies and I want to make more designs that aren’t simply ruled by beauty. I still think about bodies so much. I think about people. I think about artwork. lately… I’ve been trying to take more of a step back from social media, and also have been rolling around in my head about the hierarchy of types of art too, where drawing painting etc etc is seen so often above 3d art, fabric art, jewelry, etc.. and how even that is such a colonial structure where arts by people and specifically women of color are so often erased.. I wanna try more traditional artwork. for so long I was asking myself where do I even go now. but there’s so much to explore… so much people don’t even think abt as art…
i think it’s so important to make art about bodies too.. especially these days. where there is so much hostility and hate and dehumanization, invisibility, for having a fat body or a black body or a queer body or a disabled body or an old body etc etc. im just rambling but that’s what posts are for and it’s important in my own artwork that I want to draw different people. And connect with different people. It’s so important to me to depict these things and also without it being.. shallow. Without actually wanting to engage with culture and people.
I’m not perfect and im going to keep learning and growing and trying my best to be curious. just me typing my thoughts out…
drawing plus sized bodies is so so overlooked but honestly my experience commissioning people (keeping in mind some have never drawn a plus sized character before) is that You can get really far if you just Try. you just have to Try okay.
from the other side of the coin as an artist who has been trying again and again and again and learning over the past year I think beyond just practicing and drawing there’s a lot of unlearning conventional beauty standards as well…. It’s difficult and a more subtle mental aspect. also, I think, just surrounding yourself with other artists who draw a variety of body types is very helpful as well, you need to fill your visual library and get used to seeing bodies that aren’t like, hourglass shaped. Come to appreciate double chins, the way back fat sags, cellulite and stretch marks, the way fat softens arms, etc. and once you learn the ways of skin and fat folds an entire world opens up and you’re like hey, this is actually applicable to average and sometimes even skinny bodies.
I don’t know, I have a lot of thoughts on drawing fat. I don’t think I know so much as to make a tutorial or anything but I have a lot of amateur advice stored in my head. And a lot of beginner resources I send to people. I think it’s important to highlight that they’re beginner things and that truly no guide will help and teach you as much as first hand experience does..
I will always advocate for learning to draw fat and different body types and if it’s not enough for me to scream it every week I also throw money at so many artists to draw my own plus sized charas LOL
I need to finally start tmagp bc I know my monsterfucker oc would absolutely be into that guy made of needles no questions asked. beautiful 7ft monsterfucking transfem goddesses in your area. I was drawing her today look at my daughter so cute. so baby. my everything
yay finished the outline for my fic and drew some thumbnails for a few of the scenes…. My favorite part of the writing process is when I have to draw. I have crazy plans for Vox whump… trust me……… anyways im back from vacation finally so today im locking in and working on commissions :3c
okay I’ll post these rendered later i just have so many feelings in my head rn and it was kind of accidental okay so my gerry is trans bc closed eye top surgery scars is just a funny concept and I couldn’t resist but now im designing mary and im like woah. Woah. I feel kind of like a genius rn i really like the idea of gerry just trying so hard to escape his mother expressed even to the point where hes rejecting womanhood (not the sole reason for being trans ofc, but i think symbolically it could be strong). but the cycle is so inescapable and he kind of ends up looking like her anyways? trying so hard not to be ur parent only to end up a mirror image of her, visually….. lol… I love milf…………..
by the time I finish tma this is literally just going to be a crazy unhinged elias blog it’s terrible what he’s doing to me. stop that. stop it. had to explain to my mutual that elias isn’t actually a beautiful butch lady i just beautiful woman beam all my favorite characters. hes like 200 years old has he experienced the pain and joy of childbirth yet. we have to kill him
….an artist I commissioned to draw rina dmed me saying that they made a chubby oc partially bc of me bc drawing rina made them realize how fun it is to draw different body types…….i am very elated rn sorry i think about bodies in art So So So much. and how such a small fraction of what people can look like is actually ever represented.. its like woah am i making an impact
