IM COOKING UP SOMETHING GOOD
I've got a sketchbook out for 3$! Check it out on gumroad in the link above or on kofi here! It's got a bunch of traditional and digital artwork from the past year, along with some notes I added about the drawings.
If you'd like to support me and my work, this is a great way to do so ;-;!
can I ask what brushes you use?
they switch around from a big collection i’ve gathered over the years but right now i’m mostly just using this https://assets.clip-studio.com/es-es/detail?id=2092984
and “artemus chalksoft” for coloring!!
stuck in this cycle of wanting everything i draw to be different than the last, but also desperately needing to have fun while drawing. but i only have fun while in my comfort zone, so i never end up changing that much ..?
do other ppl struggle like this ;;;
makes me feel like an animal pacing in a cage sometimes … i am always so hungry to draw better… _(´ཀ`」 ∠) _
woes
wavin at you. so question: how’d you get so good at drawing bodies? i’m pretty decent at them but you can draw bodies from just so many angles and in so many perspectives and that’s always hard from me. do you use references? how do you break the body down to be able to do those perspectives so well?
waving back at u hello!! tagging in ur other questions here so i can knock out as much as i can at once ^_^
i use lots of references! i used to use them by drawing over the silhouettes of poses i found on pinterest.
i don’t have any easy tricks or shortcuts to proportions unfortunately :’D i picked it up from observation just by doing this for so long.
it’s a fun way to learn, but can be restraining in terms of stiffness and also making u really dependent on seeing a reference before u can think of how to draw a certain pose.
now, i focus on what lines a body follows rather than the silhouette. i try to keep every section of the body to no more than 1-3 lines when first sketching.
doesn’t matter if the lines are accurate, just be bold w them!!!!!
this is a lot easier to me than breaking the body down into shapes, and it keeps everything more fluid.
it’s on these lines where i choose to exaggerate as well!!!
my fav exaggerations to do are flipping between curve/straight/curve/straight.
for example: on the left leg, i made the curve of the calf more pronounced while stiffening the straight line of the shin.
or on the skirt, i simplified the edges to single straight lines and the hem to one long curve :D
this comes back to my 1-3 lines habit, where i try to simplify everything as much as i can, but also it comes down simply to observation and practice…..which is unfortunately the worst answer ever but it’s true LOL my sketchbooks are packed right now, but i have many many pages of completely fucking up and drawing a leg one thousand times too long. the best thing to do is to draw quickly and boldly, even if it’s wrong 100 times, than to sit down and take forever trying to get it correct on the first try.
pen and marker sketching will force u to do this LOL. it helps to find pens and markers that are fun to use, especially for scribbling, bc then u will look forward to drawing more even if it turns out bad!!!

Palestinian Couple LESS THAN 1K AWAY From Goal!!!
Alaa and Bilal have been in contact with me since around April of this year. From the looks of it, tumblr deactivated their account on the 24th of August. This is not the first time something similar to this has happened to them; their first account was blocked from sending messages.
According to the latest messages I received from Alaa, they have still been living with no shelter and no safe place to settle since their home was destroyed by the IDF since at least April.
Please, if you can give even $1 it would help or just a reblog to get this post circulating. They are also number 95 on @el-shab-hussein 's vetted fundraiser list.

hi serious talk time! not my usual kind of post and it’s going to be a little long, sorry! but i’d appreciate some help with sharing 🙇
recently my very very very close friend tads got kicked out from their home alongside several members of their family, including a teenager.
they have emergency commissions open currently! here’s a really cute animated gif of a character i designed they did for me!!!!! this could be you and ur oc!!!
below i’ll link their kofi alongside their twitter, but i’d like to request just as a personal favor that you tip them extra (or even just send a couple dollars and don’t comm at all) to help lighten their workload.
their slots are also limited so if they’re sold out already, just toss them $5!
i love ‘em a lot and know personally that even drawing a little, esp for an emergency like this, takes a huge toll off your energy and health and i don’t want them more stressed out than they are.
thank you always!! here’s their twitter as well
( their tumblr @tadsdy but they’re not as active here!)
it’s been several months now and unfortunately, due to conversion rates between USD to AUD, Bashar had to nearly start back over with his goal needing to be doubled.
as of right now, he is nearly 90% of the way there. between donations slowing down in the past few weeks and his family getting ill with little to no medical aid, things are getting more and more dire.
please help out. even just $5 and a share can add help to save his family

too many dreams cut short 🍉
bashar is just one of many palestinians you can help continue their lives, dreams, futures, but time is running out and every second counts.
please support him here
life is tiring and hard, so please lets do what we can to take care of each other. RT, share, talk, draw, boycott - do whatever is accessible to you!
