My Artwork

Hello, jasprjordamn here! Sometimes I draw things, and sometimes I edit things, and this is usually where they end up. This is a blog dedicated entirely to all my creations, I hope you enjoy! x Jiane

my favourite green boy <3 (I like to think he got his ear pierced when he came with Fabian as support when he got pierced. matching piercings my beloved <3) [ID: two digital portraits of Riz Gukgak from Dimension 20: Fantasy High (Junior Year). Riz is a green-skinned goblin who is smiling widely. He's wearing a white dress shirt, black necktie and glasses. In the first portrait, he has his yellow eyes open and looks at the observer. In the second portrait, Riz has his eyes closed and a small silver ring in his right ear. He is still smiling widely. /end ID]

🎶  we could’ve had it all 🎶 AKA my imagining of the Dorian’s potential ball outfit. What can I say, I couldn’t get the pearls out of my head, and then this sketch ran away from me. [Image ID: a digital drawing of Dorian Storm, a grey-blue air genasi, from the waist up. He’s leaning back casually, with a thumb hooked into a dark blue sash and a smile on his face. His ombre hair is in a half top knot bun, with braids on the side of his head. The left braid is decorated with little blue flowers (forget-me-nots). He is wearing a sheer crème-coloured chiffon shirt with a plunging neckline and puffed sleeves. Twisted around his neck is a pearl necklace with two short rows and one long row. Along the cuffs of the sleeves there are five little pearls. In his left ear, he is wearing a silver earcuff connecting to a silver earring. In his right ear he wears two silver earrings, a stud, and an earcuff. His hand is adorned with a silver ring with chains that connects to a little gemstone and a silver bracelet. /End ID]

spring break? spring break. [ID: a digital drawing of Fabian Aramais Seacaster from Fantasy High. He’s a brown-skinned half-elf with pointy ears, white curls and an eyepatch. He has a slight blush on his cheeks and is smiling. Fabian is wearing a friendship necklace, an Owlbears baseball jacket, lightblue skinny jeans, and red sneakers. He appears mid-air, and is surrounded by sparkles and text that reads: ‘I believe in you! Spring break!’ /end ID]

[theartsyfox]

it’s what he deserves

[ID: a digital drawing of Riz Gukgak from Fantasy High: Sophomore Year. He’s a green tattood goblin with yellow eyes, dark green hair, light green freckles and a smile that reveals sharp teeth. He’s wearing orange swim trunks and a white t-shirt that reads ‘night yorb’. He is mid-air, surrounded by drops of water, and a text that reads ‘unrestrained summer fun!’. /end ID]

How I draw skin Part 2: DON”T DRAW NATIVE PEOPLE WITH RED SKIN!!!! A tutorial

For the first tutorial on how I draw skin, see the post here.

But seriously, I’ve seen too many drawings of Native characters with literal red/pink skin to count so just in case some of you are having troubles with drawing Native people, I’ve provided a guide for you. Please take my swatches if it helps!! and no more red skinned people, please <0<

Disclaimer: this tutorial is mainly about the artistic depictions of Indigenous Peoples in North America, where the slur and redskin caricature originated, but it would still be racist to draw other non-North/Central/South American Indigenous groups like this so…..don’t.

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

honestly? starting to flip the canvas during the drawing process improved my art so much yeehaw

[rikebe]

top 10 art tips from chaboy in no particular order: 

1. canvas flipping good even if painful 

2. draw whatever makes u happy. be self indulgent. draw nonsense that caters to only you personally 

3. just fucking fake being able to draw things like hands and eventually you can actually do it without even thinking about it 

4. take breaks when it doesn’t come out right 

5. remember that you’re the god of this reality and can draw WHATEVER THE FUCK. be absolutely drunk with power. nobody can stop you. unless its like morally wrong like dont draw incest or whatever. incest is bad still

6. use references 

7. originality is a myth and literally every artist started copying their style from something or someone, that’s how you develop your own style. everyone does it. people who make fun of kids for copying the styles of their favourite shows/artists can choke 

10. litchrally just have fun

literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.

I’m gonna add a few more:

Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site

Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns. 

Transparent Textures actually lets you combine colors and patterns to build your own texture right there in the browser.
