halloween π π
Ergh...Now, you might be wondering where her eyes are. Well, truth be told, I suck at eyes and couldn't get them to look good.
I'm gonna add in new ones tomorrow, I need them to have a good balance between "unassuming" and "menacing". Also the shoulders were a quick thing, pay no heed.
Looking forward to seeing more progress!

how old does she look?
thanks! but how old does she look? i want to know
mmmmm late teens/early 20s?
yeah like 16 minimum maybe 22 max
π
made some minor edits. how would i improve the hair shading? doesn't look quite right
it looks good to me personally, maybe some more dark shading in the top middle if you want to how the roots
*show
smart
LMAO i just found this looking for pics of sea monster from sdv https://78.media.tumblr.com/02425df7a803e94a86f000c7c856ea23/tumblr_inline_p6x3deCqJr1utsrnm_540.jpg
m-monster kun...

I need advice for improving my drawing skills XD
depends on what you want to focus
you are a beginner?
there are so many ways to start and improve drawing,like:sketching geometric shapes,build a character or deconstruct the body using them it's all about the basic shapes
you can also look for references get a sketchbook a pen and get to work right away!
portraits were also my fav thing to do
at least that's how i started
if i'm blabbling nonsense go look at Jazza's tutuorials,he explains them better lol
π
i didnt have time to draw after all π so im adding music to oc playlists cause im a loser who didnt do their homework
rip
i mean
i love me some oc content
;asldkjfa;sldkf the problem is he's another circus boy but i made him way back in 09 so he was my first
i didnt realise how far back that trend went
? what you mean
it's hard for me to understand many things in english...
you talk about his story or?
you do a song??
nah i made a playlist
aha
all my ocs get playlists
tfw you wanna draw something similar to an old piece and have to take it apart to relearn how u did it
https://puu.sh/BLQ4b/a1eadca9c7.png how i did this
nah its just a style i dont usually use so im just squints how tf
I guess
nah
i still draw my reg way, i just wanted to try something toonier and simple since i'm not comfortable drawing myself
or maybe it is. who knows, i sure dont
Lol
such a sweet noodle,i'm going to finish his line art too than color them both
(+ Alexia)
I open a new page for the spirts eve thing and my mind is already in panic about where to stat
Start*
Imma go back and restart my Grima!Penny when I get home. Its taken me till now that Im not drawing her head properly
I couldn't think of anything for the inktober prompt today
so i started coloring a chunky faerie dragon
aaa the cutie pie !!!
Thanks! I love him :3
fancy website π
π π
but i'll put them aside a little to work for the event
so hype to start coloring them tho
lol
My friend I'm talking to. Hnnn I'm about to eat their hands. They said I wish I could draw but I have no talent for it.
I REALLY dislike the idea that you have to have talent to be a artist. That's literally not how it works. It takes time and dedication to study to improve the skill you were born with.
Everyone can draw! Babies can draw! And you can improve that natural born inclination to create with hard work!
No one just fhhxguci can draw perfectly because talent! They studied! Why can't ppl acknowledge that?
That's one of the things I always liked about Bob Ross's show. He liked to say that anyone can paint. You just have to want to learn and practice.
yeah talent only gets you so far and most of the time what people call talent is just someone being encouraged to do something from a young age. it can also be detrimental to be "talented" because since all you ever hear is how good you are you might get an inflated ego and never improve. hard work, willingness to fail and accept mistakes, practice, and love for the craft ALWAYS trumps talent, im proof of that myself
And it REALLY dimishes all the hard work artist put into improving their skills when their creations is chalk up as natural born talent.
that too
I don't want to be called talented. I would rather someone compliment how I've improved or how hard I work on something.
Being called talented is good and all. I don't hate it entirely but it feels empty to me
with art people tend to look at age instead of amount of time put into focused practice too
Yeah they do
like omg ur 17 and so good????? but that person has drawn seriously for 4 years
Exactly. Talk about a shitty thing to say
Even singing requires some form of studying.
im 23 but ive only been drawing a year 
As long as you're working hard and studying you're doing amazingly
im lazy af actually and never study LOL
but im fine with that i have other things to do as well
Sometimes arts just for fun and that's vaild
I dabble in a lot of different things that I'm ok at, but because it's just for fun and I don't sink in the hours, I'll never progress much farther. It's a matter of effort
yeah
It's okay not to want to go pro tbh. Ive been professionally selling my art work since the 9th grade and honestly. Going "pro" ruined my taste for art. It becomes a job and I hate jobs
i would hate to work in the art industry
It's competitive as fuck
And for me it's not satisfying
I could work 3 hours on a piece for a client and they're just like "oh cool, thx" and then we part ways
I've found falling into mere hobby is more enjoyable for myself
I strive on feedback I need to know what you like and dislike
I enjoy art more as a hobby too tbh
But I gotta make money some how. I'm on disability but it doesn't quite cut it every month
Understandable
Especially since I have some friends on disability and they have a hard time themselves
Though some make more than me a month 
I digress tho
Art as a hobby I make money from is enjoyable
For those who do it fulltime, I applaud
Theres so much STUDY involved in making good art
Anatomy, clothing, poses, proper colouring, shading etc etc
Nobody is born and goes "yeah I know how to draw a human with near perfect anatomy"
Hell the only reason my art has improved at all has been due to learning and practice
same
and seeking out critiques and taking advice that demonstrably better artists gave me
interesting talk , i too seek a more balance between work and hobby for art , too much of anything may not be good, such as you need money or you need fun. As for talented , yes must say tasteless thing to say , the typical of people who don't actually do it and just go with " Talented " to decide that they can only do that because they have talent while what we are doing is just some normal drawing that almost everyone learning art can do , lol.
it grow bored overtime where praise has pretty little meaning to you while honest or harsh critique may be a lot more fun to listen to even tho it is , well harsh ( i know people who give real hurt critique but a lot more helpful than fooling around with nice talk )
yeah there's a balance you can definitely achieve with crit, i see many people just insulting people where it's really not necessary, just be blunt and tell them what to improve on
No one was born with a sketchbook and a pen in their hands lmao
It takes time,patience,passion and lot of hard work to get the results you expect
If they were that would be concerning
"Which surgeon left this objects in the patient? How irresponsible and careless!"
Lol
giving birth to a sketchbook would be so painful
unless its like my smol sketchbook
Paper cuts
It would still hurt like
maybe if it was like a rolled up moleskine paperback book
It hurts on the cycle and that's fluid
tru 
Theres no escaping the pain my friend
so glad I'm never having babies, especially glad I wont be having babies that are born with sketchbook and pencil in their hand
same π
it Sakura day
cats 
SakuRA
Gonna cosplay as her eventually
So doing lots of McArt to get an idea of her outfit
She's great I'm love her
Sakura!!yesss
I picked her to cosplay because I wont need to dye my hair or get a wig ;3
Haha sure thing!
I'm cosplaying kankuro
;D Kankuro's awesome, a good lad
xD
he just needs to have someone equally awkward
or if its a girl, they need to be impossibly more awkward than him
The Most Awkward Couple in Suna
grounded lol
Man, last few days, it taking me so long to do any art
I just end up
doing other things
Like, I could finish these several wips
But I could also mincraft
Mood
Mincraf has taken over my life
plz, i havent seen my wife in days, I just wanna finish art
sooooo do i do another over the garden wall inktober ? or something else ?
This is pretty interesting: art restoration done in public so people can watch and learn about it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45874854
Oh hell yeah
But I'm avoiding art history until Tuesday. I don't have the headspace rn
Haha, fair.
(Today is Tuesday...?)
what should i draw today 
Some SDV monster for the event's entry if you haven't already? π

Me neither!
lol

Restarted to redo her head
Ended up drawing a far away eye that suited the old head
Typical.
Scribble for ootd planning. I gotta figure out what monsters to be
π Neat
Redo! Head now works better with the perspective I want but still got a looooot of work to do.
Me: draws circle
Me: fucks sake can you do anything correctly
Decided to mess about with eye colour for fun
Ended up looking half decent. Needs refinement.
Penny is terminator confirmed
She requires your clothes, your shoes, and the biggest library
Naaaah, she's just the wings of despair, the breath of ruin etc etc
"So you said you don't like children?"
"If you can help me look after the children...I shall spare your life..."
It...changed, somehow. I dunno what I did, but it changed form.
I dunno if I like it. I'll find out in the morning and restart if I dont.
Do you enjoy drawing?
https://t.co/KNxUrPdKGX https://t.co/gjy3fCyLkS

Well... what kind of person is Beppi?
Either a dog costume or a penguin costume
since he uses balloon dogs and penguins in his fight hehe
yeahhh but i wanna draw him and relle doing a couples costume thing
8Y theyre not dating but they buds, y'know??
maybe one dressed as the front of the rollercoaster and the other as the back? idk π€£
i'll figure smth out probably
or perhaps dressing up as the other bosses of inkwell isle 2
i have 8 things i want to draw and only 2 of them actually need doing
Finally have a sketch of the final halloween costume
can't wait to see the final piece of it buddy!
Thank you so much!!

I'm working hard on it!!
I picked a hard pose, but I'm drawing a devil costume boy, I need to make it justice

if you have a passion for it there will sure be peoples to read them
unless its undertale
Nah, people still read undetale fics lol
hugs my smol pile of fave undertale fanfics
but the community is now toxic
No point adding more toxic to it then
Well, I have this idea that's a mixture of a Chinese cliche and Stardew Valley
Lately, there's been a boom of people who got 'transported' to another world after they die, right?
It's something like that.
quick and messy bird practice
(massive file sorry guys
)
shhh,you are amazing!

Nice
its crumb!!!!
Do i do the hat kinda like this? (Im doing pack from re zero but with a wizard hat)
And I donβt know how to fill it in
Ok done this so now I need to deco it but idk how / what to do
maybe draw some skulls and pumpkins?idk
And like what colour because black is bland?
skulls are gray,pumpkins orange
And the main hat?
Maybe have like a ribbon on the hat?
I'd use some purple to add highlights to the black hat
Decided to totally retry Grima Penny, but not right now. I think I've burnt myself out lately.
AAA
i won't color this because of the detail but
i'm drawing the san augustin church
Ignore this photo. Just posting it here so I can work on it on my computer
I guess the base of the hat is done
y'all, I wanna draw but idk what
Draw Penny
draw penny givin a smooch to a junimo

nfkjsnfkdn
π
np!!
Glad I could help by suggesting Penny
look, I already drew penny recently
I don't human well so I prefer drawing animals
or creatures/ect.
Hey!. Question. I cannot draw very well but I want to enter something into the monster appreciation, would it be okay if I go find a print out of one of the monsters from SDV and color it in?
ummm im not sure. u might have better luck asking in #499055995310440451 and maybe one of the junimos will answer
Probs wanna nab a Junimos attention for that question
yeh
Oh
I'm always internally crying over wanting more art supply tbh
YEP
Luckily my current water colours are lasting ages and I already bought back up water colours lmao
oh yeah i have a watercolor palette and some tubes as well
in fact
i havent used watercolor in awhile
i needa use em after inktober is over
oooooo
I bet ur watercolor stuff is gone be great
Ive done
1 (one) water colour thing in the last two weeks
no wait, the emote things
so 4 (four)
lineart is the devil 
i hate it my stuff always looks soooooooooooo much better as sketch
because i never bother to learn lineweight and such lmao
So I brought my rose drawing to a coffee bar to sell and apparently I have to get it approved by the owner before they'll hang it up 
of course
I was hoping they'd just take it lol
I've never tried to sell my art before, I get attached
Me, any time: I'm doing commissions!
Person: for money???? π
but expoooosure
If u really liked art so much you'd do it for free
https://media1.tenor.com/images/a9e748c8abfd91685d21e2a2c5fba7b2/tenor.gif?itemid=8617355
i didn't get the exposure line but i got the "we're making cookies at the event you can come eat there or something"
I get the exposure line and people telling me off for it not being dirt cheap π
i've been on both sides but like, i do understand it too
for example like
american mcgee's alice is my favorite game Of All Time
Of. All. Time.
and i found out they have a website
their art prints are 50-100 dollars
and at first i was like

but then i was like
That's a good price tho
ok this dude most likely paid so much money for this art
well i mean
art wise sure
but for me
anything above 10 dollars is a lot
no matter what it is
like for me buying something
Same but for a print that's really good
i don't want things to be cheaper
so initially i was like
but i figured it was fair in the end, so i still get how it feels
yeah for sure
But like people get proper mad
yeah people feel like artists owe them for giving them attention and it's stupid
And like. Iiiiiiiii don't care? If you can't afford it that's not my problem. Come to me and we can work it out but I'm not giving you free art because you're broke, why do you think I'm selling art????
i did a lil graphic design thing for a guy and i just asked for 5$ and he just never gave it to me ??
I sound so salty but at the end of the day art is a luxury and I can't be spending time feeling sorry for someone trying g to guilt me into not affording g food so
it' a luxury in the end and people sell art in order to afford basic necessities
I get the same line in my day job, it's not just art
I only opened commissions to pay for school cause my professor is a butthair
Yall when I'm at a point where when i can i want to commission all you lovelies and give u the amount of money u deserve
he said he was gonna give it to my sister cause they were in classes together but he just didnt
i'll def commish when i get to the point too
same ^^
wow that's garbage of that person
eveni f it was an accident that was still a professional exchange
For those of u into traditional and live in bigger towns, check our ur local coffee shops!! They'll buy art off u and sell it
Like people complain that $45 is too much for a haircut on a mini poodle but then they'll be in the salon cutting and dyeing their own hair for $80 easily
I see local artists stuff in coffee shops alllll the time
that is true
And they're only getting the hair on their head done! I'm not gonna get into dog grooming details but we'll just say it's more than just head hair
Or like if I get someone that wants a more specialized cut, like Asian fusion for example, not everyone can do it. I'd be willing to bet most people in my area couldn't
And it takes way longer than an average shave down.... At least an hour and a half, just finishing. Not including the bath, blow drying, any dematting I'll probably have to do etc
Sorry for ranting I just get mad when people are cheap when it comes to my own lively hood lol
absolutely
it sounds like you do a lot
and i think it's a lot more helpful, in many ways, than a hair cut for a human
I'm offering ootd drawings like the one I did for me and I keep getting told it's too expensive but?? It's 40$ two figures. You're getting it 10$ less than how it should be priced.
they licc face
π pay me so I don't fail professionalism. God
Hhhh
But even regular hairstylists also get shit because most people view it as an uneducated line of work when salon education is srs business
I'm on a time crunch too so it's just extra discouraging but I'll survive
thats a really good price
I'm a big fish
tbh
I figured 2 colour static figs that are just used to outfits should be less than an illustration proper
i mean yea i think so
i havent ever been openly open for commissions so im shit at pricing my own work but like
I have no idea how to price art
i've tried to open commissions like 3 times but i end up buckling right before i open it
pricing art is the worst
i did a logo commission for my friend and charged them $30 but like i prolly shouldve charged more considering how difficult she was to work w lol
I'm bad at pricing too but 25$ seems fair for a full coloured figure
I'm def undercharging but I'm screaming
Always apply a PITA fee
I've done it X)
Hehehe
Though if it's a difficult dog we call it a handling fee. If it's the client then it's a pita fee
And that's only because the dog isn't a pain in the ass; they just have issues
Yeah
I groom honey cause I'm sure she'd be a trouble child
Luckily she just needs baths and nail clippings but idk what I'm gonna do if her butt needs squeezing
Haha
i'm laughin
i was like
I've thought about adding a pita charge but idk how I'd explain it if they asked
the bread ?
to explain pita charge you could say like, if you were told to make a lot of changes and took up muchc more of your time than usual or smth
She's likely not gonna need her butt squeezed if you don't mess with it often. Bigger dogs are less susceptible to anal gland issues than small dogs
without straight out saying, u were a pita fam
what causes those issues? i did not know squeezing butt was a thing you had to do
π
Nice okay. My small dog used to need it
Yeah, dogs have a Sack by the bootyhole that collects liquid called anal glands. I think it's an old leftover evolution thing that has to do with marking territory
Her butts been pink once but I upped her fibre for the following days and it cleared itself out
oohhh
Anyway of it gets full it needs to be expressed or else they can rupture and cause problems
poor doggies ):
That's why dogs scoot their bums on the floor
But, it's usually not a problem. They usually express if enough on their own when pooping
Also it smells hella bad
i see!!! i'm a cat owner so i'm learning more LOL
but it's cool to know you guys take care of things like that
mike rowe should try to be a groomer sometime smh
They express it when scared too
awwe
Yeah honey pooped herself during her first day at puppy school cause she was so scared
So I had to hold and carry a 45 lb baby
I had an old English once, was an 8 Mo old puppy, first groom. Was trying to get him in a crate and he decided to rear up and he heckin sprayed me in the face
Oh nooooo
That smell... Wouldn't leave my nose for 3 weeks
So I learned to not be directly behind a dog lmfao
Honey just farts on me :(
Moral of the story : tip your groomer!
help
so i have finished a commission, and it came with a extra doodle that i decided to throw in
and i sent the extra doodle to the person, but i didn't do the drawing right
and before i could go make changes, my program crashed and my auto save feature in my program didn't save the icon
am i able to say no to redoing the extra doodle?
finished picture but it looks awful 
maybe ill just do another one...
or submit the sketch......
For the rank just submit something it doesnβt have to be to good
yea, but...
Oh no Callie that's some bad luck...but it's nice you did something extra besides the commission,i don't know,it's a pretty embarrassing situation,but maybe try doing the icon again 
I finished like 3 line arts,now comes the fun but hard part
I forgot how to shade reee

linearts will always be my personal bane of existence
i got some advice from friends so ill try again later with something else π
Lineart?
how do you get stuffposted to the art gallery
Like draw with 1 line?
?
ohhh okay haha
it has to be SDV related
lineart is like... cleaned up inklines or w/e yknow?
like opposed to a sketch
lastly it must be by you
i tend to not pin WIPs if the person is gonna finish but sometimes i will if they won't work on it anymore
np np
Line art is when you finish the sketch get a brush and try to refine the piece,magicaster,if that makes sense 
sketch:
So just making it look neater?
Look an example
lineart is the lines that stay in the final pic
A neat one tho :>
how do masks work
tutorials always have it but i still have no clue what it freakin is
I made a new icon π
Nice
Ohhh a birb
a quetzal, actually
This icon is made especially for my pen name, which is Isha Quetzal
i remember got to taught about mask long ago
masks are like
but i never did use it and i forgot how
how to explain it....
you know how your canvas is a square or rectangle?
using a mask limits where your brush makes marks to the mask
so you make a mask that is example the shape of the hair
then make a layer above it and have it connected to this mask
so you paint on it and it paints only that shape
you mean like clipping feature ?
like heres a red thing http://puu.sh/BMRvf/32448359da.png
i guess i could do it cleaner though
but clipping probably faster or so cause i forgot what to do next after click on create mask layer
then set it as clipping layer and bap http://puu.sh/BMRw7/600245c6fb.png

treats red shape as mask thingo
remind me i should do 1 layer painting practice later
relay on clipping all the time ain't a good habit 
i find it almost essential when youre doing character design for clients and need to be flexible with the colors you choose
that way its painless to adjust it u_u
THe way I do colors is that I do what's essentially a flat color layer to mark more or less what color will go there. Then I duplicate it, and lock the transparent pixels
It serves as a mask that way.
And I can just go nuts with shading.
In the end, since each color on each thing is an individual layer, if I need to adjust, then it's easy and doesn't really do anything to the other colors.
i dont even have a proper colouring process bc i never try it 
i do trace stuff, mostly for study purpose, such as shape , position , proportion and stuff are a lot easier to breakdown
it is funny that people still do that these days
usually i don't really care much unless it is straight out stealing , they won't get any better tracing all the time or so, they could have their fake praise meanwhile
the ones that are really arrogant annoy me a lot
when they arent even drawing
just stealing
Who stole ur stuff???
huh , not mine
they just steal other people art
usually japanese artist , hard to track down
but lol i can find it sometime
even have friends who can contact them

the most unusual case i have got is a thief that has been caught , i show proof and stuff already then he just said sorry , post a new art and said his but it is still stealing but from an artist with his same nickname
AH FINISHED THIS FINAL LINE-ART
then after that he got his second waring and he deleted it , post another one in tradition drawing
i just said " take it in multiple angle " and then deleted it again
admin instant ban him
π


Btw don't think badly of this boy, it's the first time I ever draw him in a pose like that, he's actually pure
Also Makco!! Happy Bday!!
π thank you!
oh , happy birthday

Later buddy 
Tbh I should draw smth but do I want to? No i would rather sleep
draw!
I would rather sleep
sleep....draw...?
I havenβt drawn in a Long Time though
Sleep with a pencil in your hand!
Maybe I will tomorrow
i wonder what to draw 
draw Penny!
im rly bad at drawig humans u dont want me to draw penny LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAKCO I DIDNT REALIZE TILL NOW FORGIVE ME PLEASE @onyx island
Blacky i feel like you are too modest about your work tbh
Thank you Callie!
ngl from what ive seen its likely ur the best artist in here blacky 
though i havent been here long
just in terms of draftsmanship skill
i did look a bit in the creative , there are better artist here
^ modest
depend in what zone tho
i am pretty weak at char drawing and stuff
i only draw them okay when i am high
i only saw your sketches so far bt they are really good
hehe don't put yourself down, you're amazing
yea i am forever sketching
π
but it is still drawing so i don't feel bad or anything
my sketches 70% of the time look better than my end result 
me too tho im a lot lower lvl than u blacky 
I feel that Callie lol
become one of the sketch lord
π€€
tho i should do some finishing work before new year
going to art class next year so don't think i will have time to doodle
yea yea
that's good then 
i am a bit all rounder
good for concept artist
it is not hard to learn the basic , just a bit complex for most beginner to actually see it
best way to practice perspective is freehand drawing while looking at ref
draw a box actually
π
ya i spam boxes but brain doesnt work for anything else 
when idk what to draw i doodle boxes
i only draw them a few time to practice
tight π
well usually you have to try keep your line straight as well
that is one thing i have to practice everyday
probably has drawn around 15000+ straight line for 2 months now
lol
so much mileage π
well it is not really worth saying that much , you just do around 100 per day
the one thing i am too lazy to practice is texture drawing
π
it's a pain in the butt
hope i will be able to draw a lot more next year , this year i don't think i have draw many
is anyone here a haikyuu!! fan or roleplayer?
i wish i could watched anime more 
i used to watch a bunch of haikyuu but i dont remember where i left off :0
Anyone got any good story starters? Or plots? Im writing a short story
@lament turtle Feel free to read mine and get some ideas
i was just wondering cause my rp group is in need of a middle blocker
middle blocker?
ohh i see. i dont remember much about haikyuu and i suck at rping fksdfkds
ah
its from the anime
referring to one of the positions of volleyball
i think
ohhh
yeah im a bad rper too so i just do drawings
lool
me tbh
Me lol
Can't wait to fail next year too π ππ½ππ½
Smh feb π π
Meh
I'll order some copic markers one day
It has a black pen too

Not for inktober but for my sketches lol
Just use a reg pen
I do not find such great stuff at the library
??
Nah I got that but pens is pens
Uuh
Sharpies or bust
So... for Inktober do you, like, HAVE to follow the prompts?
you dont have to
I havent been
Kinda cobbled together my own list of prompts
it has to be prompts at all?
I mean you don't have to follow them if you don't want to lol
ohhh, okay
But I suppose you'll HAVE TO follow them if you're posting them in a site dedicated to inktober 
Oh, yeah, I guess so
Depends if you want to be in a group or not
So I see these here farmer character sheets and I wanna draw one, is there a sort of template for it?
Like how do they go?
there is a template on dA? Idk if it's quite what you mean tho, I'll grab a link
Original one: https://www.deviantart.com/bluezombiez/art/Stardew-Valley-group-App-594239745
New one: https://www.deviantart.com/razorsedgem7/art/Stardew-Valley-OC-Character-Sheet-Template-744528259
oops i sent smtn too soon
i dont use a template, i just list stuff i think is relevant
name, farm name, spouse, friends, birthday, best gifts, etc
i downloaded the sdv font to type that stuff with
I think it's about your farmer orientation? 
I should make one of those soon. I probably won't use that template, or any template to be honest heh
probably related to the zodiac sign
Bleh
Thatβs like unnecessary detail
Youβd do that foβ an OC, not your farmer
Iβd rather draw my own
Yep yep, I had the same idea too
shrugs its not as if using templates made by others is a requirement
They can be useful for ideas/inspiration tho
You forgot in italian @ Jar 
no shrugging in other languages, rule 3 smh!
Pfft
π
i should get back into drawing some sdv but i'm so caught up with my own plans for art ;;
oof i want to draw but my brain is on constant buffer
π© too busy thinkin bout tomorrow hhh
What's tomorrow 
i start teaching
Ohhh sweet! Yeah you mentioned it earlier, best of luck Feeb! π
hhhh
Howdy o/
Hru

i found this too
Oh nice!
yeah somehow is about how you want to color your character
like use warm or cool colors
the direction of light is important
you can use both
what is your light source and where is the focus of your piece
yeah theres a lot of different ways to shade
yes
like some dont use darker colors but duller and different colors
oh yes
you can see the complementary in the shadow too
i see 
not sure how to explain it for digital painting tho
you should be worry about value first before color π
I just mix whatever color I feel like I need on the piece
I struggled so much in theory classes
hi5 Jev
learn value π
learn it allll
just a friendly advice , value is more important than color
yeah i just do wat looks good to me
it will become somewhat an instinct
ultra instinct...
sorry if I sound snobby or something
you dont at all
I don't really know what I am doing most of the time and I just follow what my gut is telling me
honestly, who does know what theyre doing
we're all rly just slamming colour down
but I agree that you need to know some basics to be able to improve fast
yes...
I can't do perspective because I didn't learn that ._.
It's forever a challenge to me

One day I'll stop avoiding perspective
I want to try getting out of my comfort zone. Starting with background
Learn box
same jar (im lying)
whispers in Italian I'm also lying
pfff
atm I don't have time to do anything challenging
I can just doodle to relax 
harmonized crying
i just don't want to let myself down because i still don't understand many things about drawing...
i cant wait to never do commissions again
relaxation doodles r nice
like, anything that involves relaxation is gucci
sometimes you gotta just go with the flowwwww
some wood ?
I'm happy that you seem to find the joy learning new stuff everyday
I'd love to learn how to carve wood tbh
Seems fun
almost sliced a finger off in woodworking here lol
rip
a slip 
he was drawing too a lot but gave up for woodworking
ooohhhh
ig you were trying to get them chiseled looks but went about it the wrong way
chiseled my hand instead yo
omg
sorry for the gore talk
take care π
hmm?
in 10 years i will have way more knowledge about anything that implies drawing
or even faster
but i need the motivation
Isnt that the motivation?
"If I keep at this, in 10 years I can look back and see the vast improvement" ?
^^^
Idk man, I've always been more on Holly Brown's idea of things
Improvements important, but you need to learn to draw without having motivation or inspiration to draw
I regret leaving my old works behind when I left college
It'd be nice to be able to look back and see how far you have become
And no, you didn't say that quote
lmao Jar
?
a little while ago i thought hands were hard to draw, knock knock "yes?who it is?" BACKGROUNDS
Backgrounds? who is she
lmao
I default to all backgrounds being forrests, or Andy's room
do other locations exist? I sure as heck hope not
lol
trying to make pun names from different languages is hard
Cute Jev!
ooo so fun!
ty zero 
The chin dusting is perfect
also they look so cute smook 
thank you 
why does Alexia look like a female version of Sebastian but being an angel lmaoooooo
ah but she has green eyes tho
ok i trying to think of a need for the daddo
it has to be a pun or something revolving around carpentry or logging
so far ash is the only one i like
ok jk
im either going with doug or scott
prob doug
I was thinking at dobby,but doug sounds fun imo 
awww so happy 
That's so sweet!!!
