how long have you drawn?
like as in how long have I been drawing? that's hard to say; I drew a lot as a kid, but only animals and dragons. I only started drawing people when I was roughly 15; I didn't have an interest in people until then and I found (and still find) it difficult. I had a few years where I didn't practice often due to busy life events, so I can't really give an accurate estimate. it would be dishonest to say Ive drawn my entire life, but also dishonest to say I haven't. i wish I had practiced more when I was a teenager, but I had many hobbies
did you go to art school or are you a hobbyist/self taught? if so, do you have any advice on anatomy and such? i really admire your work!!
thank you! that is a high compliment!
I'm self taught, everything I've learned is by studying other artists and trying absolutely everything
for anatomy, there's many things I think are helpful. 1. studying and drawing people in public. i like to watch people's hands as they type, torsos as they twist around, different strides of walking, etc, while I'm out and about. just knowing how things move is just as important as knowing where everything is in the body. i keep a small sketchbook and a pencil and pen with me all the time. most people don't mind being drawn. 2. figure drawing as a warm up. i think figure drawing is going to be the most helpful thing to you, and good news, you can get a LOT done in 30 minutes. start with 1 minute posts, and work your way up to 5 minute poses, or make 30 poses in 30 minutes. i recommend getting a subscription to Croquis Cafe for this, and browsing flickr. Flickr is great for non-posed photography, great for natural poses and normal bodies. 3. studying actual factual anatomy. there's really no way to get around knowing where muscles are and where bony points are, etc. it's interesting! you'll be able to squash and stretch anatomy however you want once you know how to break the rules. i recommend Anatomy For Artists: Drawing Form and Pose by Tom Fox.
once you have a good handle on human anatomy, you can even apply the same logic to animal anatomy, and even then you can apply your knowledge of form to anything. once you learn one thing, you can apply it to anything
just getting comfortable sketching and not getting too attached to any one drawing will make studying much easier. treating studying as slowly piecing together a whole object in your mind, until you can bullshit a way to make it feel accurate/plausible, is the goal. don't worry about making it perfect. when you study, you are there to learn, not make something perfect. being open to trying everything you can to learn, and learning everything you can about anything you can, will help you more than worrying over one drawing.
don't be afraid to ask other people what can be fixed! this is where art school would come in handy I suppose. ask your friends if something is off. don't be afraid to fix things and always improve!
as always, my inbox is always open for art questions! i hope this is somewhat helpful
re9 hemolytic injector explosion, or perhaps just Claire In General, or any of your favorite Creatures
re2 claire route is my favorite
what's your favorite of the mutated animals across the re series?
i love the Gravediggers from the original re3
resident evil requests please, only doodles while I work on comms
Do you have a favorite art movement in history? Or a classical/historical artist?
if I am so honest, I'm not familiar with art movements. I need to study them more, learn how to categorize them. Honestly, I like art from all over the place. art depicting The Black Death, medieval engravings, russian fairytale illustrations from the 1800s, ancient babylonian carvings, doll craftsmanship from the 1910s, gorgeous nature scenes in watercolor...there's endless things to explore from the past
if I had to choose a classic painter though, it would be Evelyn De Morgan
her paintings depict death and the apocalypse, and yet her figures are serene and eerily peaceful. her colors are insanely vibrant despite the subject matter. hopeful and nightmarish.
she painted her trauma of living through war torn Britain during WW1.
Art ask: what's your favourite place to get references for studies?
really depends on what it is but 90% of the time I use Flickr. you can search before a certain date and it helps avoid AI. I like Flickr a lot for references of places and people because most users aren't professional photographers and it's very natural
I haven't really had a huge problem with AI on Pinterest honestly. it's there but it's been easy to avoid
for figure drawing I have a subscription to Croquis Cafe. it's $35 a year and well worth the money
always want to make something really nice for easter but i end up running out of time and theres also the pressure of wanting it to obviously be my very best work if its depicting Christ, but i really dont think its a fair expectation to put on myself every couple of months to make a full illustration for a holiday when im already struggling to make. yknow anything lol
good thing Easter isn't just one day a year it's every single day
