And Yes, It Was Just As Traumatic As You May Imagine.

not rainbow :// sorry ://

(if u like my work please consider sending a request!!)

prove them wrong.

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

Do you take requests?

yes, i do, in fact! i’m pretty sure i have the request guidelines up, but those are a little confusing – i’m working on editing them.

is there anything you’d like to see done?

sorry i’m physically incapable of embarking upon a (relatively large) artistic endeavor without taking huge amounts of PROGRESS PICS so here have these i guess

ive been watching les mis with my friend lately and feels

hi i drew a person :)

oh boy oh boy oh boy look at me posting for the first time in forever ~ in other news, let’s both make a pact, right here, right now, to ignore the “”””wolf”””” in the corner of the page. cool? cool.

@tungsten-hydrogen-yttrium really hope you like this; it's a bit overdue. (fun fact: it's written on the back of an extra copy of an essay)

yooooooo so i drew my mouse a while ago?? look at it! it actually looks like a mouse!
