Absolutely! I remember a post from a 13 year old that made literal masterpieces
Yeah
Like
Theres a fan acc on insta
called Mikella Star
Shes rlly good at drawing
Mostly draws stuff from cartoons
but at 1st i thought she was like
27 or smthn >,>
but nope shes 13 from a few days ago
Btw yall have rlly cute pfps xd
Hoping she has some parents that protect the account from inappropriate stuff 
yeah
I guess younger people have more opportunities these days, and that's a really good thing actually
tbh i actually saw smthn more innapropriate on a kids app then on insta
only sometimes there r swears on insta
theres actually a option on facebook to make it so u dont see rude stuff
idk much abt it
bcs my dad made the acc for me when i was like
7 or smthn
Lmao, I had an account when I was like 12 or something, never used it again aah
Wew, I haven't got too deep into internet till I was like 14
<-- bruh that emoji
And choogoo same
I only use disc
Or i sometimes use mesanger to msg my fren
I use twitter, but never post anything, twitter scares me tbh
It's fast to get popular if you're posting fan art on Twitter
mmm
Ig it's good for advertising like commissions
Yeah, but then you will need to post only fanart to keep that audience, it's kinda sad 
^ yeah
You can not please anyone just as you don't like everything as well, if that makes any sense
tbh i post on insta like never xd
you do you
Ooo where can I take this kind of test
scroll up
https://www.arealme.com/oekaki-mental-age/en/ This is the site lol
.
i got 68 👀
bruh 
Beautiful
i think the reason why many of us got 33 is because it's set as default, maybe it was some sort of error
which idk why itd do that but
Beautiful
@lament turtle ah yes, the color of V O I D E G G
Going to do it in the morning since I am about to go to sleep

I got 21
LMFAO
Uuf
Choogoo rlly just put a lot of effort and got 9 years old, the rest gets 30+ for drawing a random scribble
Yes. I managed 6 years old
POG
Meet Leila the earthworm
Dang I drew a frog and got my exact age incredible
Incredible indeed^^
i think a lot of it might be that most people r just using black 👀
It’s hard to draw with your finger on that lol
Pink is for six year olds apparently
Sht. I got beaten. Someone is even younger
ehehe
Maybe three years because 2 eyes and one mouth?
Maybe it counts the lines you are making
😮
Or some other dumb thing^^
h o L d O n
okay, this should tell me im fifty if your line theory is right
ITS TRUE
i added like a few extra lines
i counted it was 53
i put two dots and got 7
owo
i win
this is toddler erasure
I don't get this site aah
Bruh that’s my age lol
:0 thats rlly good
Yay
It's an edited Willy sprite ;p
:0
It will be just a map thing, not an actual npc
Aha
cool
Btw guys doing the mental age test thing- Its not the amount of lines
i tried it
i did 3 lines and got 14 :/
i did 3 lines and got 14 :/
@green nimbus I Also did 1 dot twice and got 2 diff ages, I think its just a random number genarator

How about this?
I hope this doesn't sound rude, but what exactly are they wearing? 🤔
It was mostly a recolor of the Willy clothes
In the head, a bandana like pirates
I'm trying everything here
Aaah ok ok! I really like the bandana too 😊
Maybe add a little darker tone in his neck?
Aaah that looks nice!
It's looks good I just don't like it
It's good I just don't like the look of it personally
Like... how to explain it
I recognize it looks good and it was made well just my tastes don't like it
I see
What's it for?
A new island...
Lmao

[EDIT: Discovered that the site also has a drawing "Husband Generator" and tried it for the heck of it. There was a stat that has something slightly not very SFW.]
Wait if there's a height what's the size stat—
Immadeletethatrealquick
I'm baby
The sequel should be an in-website DAW program that guesses your mental age depending on what music you compose.
I'm starting to think that this is randomized.
So Aggie.io has a more substantial spinoff called Magma Studio, which actually performs better than Aggie.io so I'm not sure why they don't just make that their main product. You can "try" it for free but it's just a fully featured version, with the paid version being for if a company or some organization wants to implement it into their workflow.
It has in-browser pressure support which is cool.
I just looked that up, that looks so neat! You can draw with friends?? Sounds fun
I mean look at the features with the free version.
I think it's more like the Magma Studio free version is tacitly replacing Aggie.io.
30 people sounds chaotic lol but fun
Yeah and you can see everyone's cursor position in real time. I invited all my siblings and the first thing my 18 year old sister wrote was "peepee" in yellow.
I've never understood how people can do such good digital art
I just can't do digital art that isn't pixel art
I just feel like I have less control
(Depsite having more...)
one word; practice
I feel that. It always seems like stuff I draw on paper looks better bc of control
stabilizer is your best friend
Lazy Nezumi is awesome
i have a really shaky hand because of coffee and anxiety so i set my stabilizer real high
Maybe if I had a drawing tablet I could do good, but ya know without it it's just so hard to be able to draw with a mouse
omg it is so difficult with a mouse
It makes no sense
i use a wacom tablet, you can get the small ones for pretty cheap
they come with free drawing programs too
Yeah that wont happen
I mostly do pixel art
I've tried all diffrent drawing apps I just can't use any of them
if you're looking for a nice free one for a tablet/phone, i would suggest ibispaint
i used to draw on my phone with my finger
:0
I did these on phone
(theres a pixel art brush ;))
I use a diffrent app for pixel art
theyre so cute aww
Phone>mouse and keyboard
i love the little junimos
yes mouse is nearly impossible
could i give a little constructive critisism?
I doodled these in class a couple days ago
Ignore my chicken scratch notes
Sure go ahead
so i did this too for a long time in my earlier art years; my lineart would be super sketchy. instead of loose, flowy lines, they were stiff strokes. it can look good in some art styles, but its really difficult to master. I would suggest to let your hand flow a little bit more and make longer strokes. put your wrist into it
but you're really good with facial expressions!!
Oh I kmow exactly what your talking about
you can practice by drawing little shapes with one line
smooth lines can make a piece 1000 times better trust me
I used to use drawception and I would always use lines like thay becuase you didn't have time to do sketches and it was the easiest to get done right
fair fair
itll just be a lot easier to use flowing shapes because then u can make more fluid poses yknow
Yeah makes sense
also im not saying you have to do this to be good!! its totally up to what the artist likes
scratchy art can look pretty dope
Let me try to find an old image
okay
Not exactly what I was looking for but it works
This one I don't like as much
heres two examples of some of my scratchy art
(my back camera is broken so i had to use the selfie camera lol)
Woah
black nail polish reveal
Those are great
thank u
all im saying is that scratchy lineart is a valid style and can be pretty good but it takes practice
For pixel art I do tons of shit
Some I do in app
some I do in diffrent games
i think you should try expirimenting with more flowy lines first and if its not ur style then do whatever u want!!
what app do u use for pixel
this server loves pixel art lol
8bit painter & I forget it's names but it let's me make sprite sheets
Those are example of things I would do in games
u are literally so good at that
Here let me find some of my older contest entries
Here's my submission for the half a juimo
hes cute🥺
Here's a sheet of sprites
I can't find the other thing I did
kind of weird but i searched from:cakewalker has:image in:creative and theres some stuff
I don't post alot of the things I do and haven't done thay much
Oh here's the other thing I want to show
ooo looks good lol

Ya ra my
this was my icecream for the summer event
i thought it was real food at first glance
Aww that’s adorable!
Ice crem
Yeah yours as great yaramy
It was better than mine
i should sprite ice cream one of these days..
just dont really do large pixel art that often
mostly just terraria for me
art go brr
it looks like a ghost 
I hate this drawing too much to finish colouring it
But look beautiful
:0
it looks amazing
I like the clean line work 
It looks so nicee! What's the problem. :c
yall getting me into pixel art--
@crisp elk me too i know i'll be bad at it but it looks so fun and cute ❤️
Pixelart is fun^^
Pixelart is cool!
i need some advice from anyone that's done it owo
Its also interesting, that the size of your sprite not only changes the amount of detail possible, but also how you design it. Breaking down something complex into 16bit or 32bit is a real challenge^^
i mean i don't actually have a software or anything but there has to be something simple
right?
xD
I used a free software from the internet before just called pixelart. After some time i bought Aseprite and im happy with it.
The easiest way to start/learn more, was recolouring and redrawing existing stuff. At least for me.
And changing smaller stuff on them.
From there i try to do more original sprites now.
Maybe some people can do their own stuff right from the beginning, but i had to start small and there is still a long way for me^^
yeah
but depending on how fun it is for me i'll be doing it for a certain amount of time each day...
alright i gotta go
bye
Cya👋
👋
pixel art is the most painful thing and i love it
personally i compiled aseprite, since im not allowed to spend like any of my money (yes compiling is legal)
i used to just use krita since i had nothing else
wouldnt reccomend
Oooooh it's looking really nice 
noice
thank you 
very nice, smookie!
I need some help here
was supposed to be this fish
but it looks no good to me
Maybe the lower half from head to tail fin could be more yellowish?
And the pattern on its body could be more blueish/dark blue?
humm
That looks pretty good. If you really need some help I feel like a little shading could go a long way! Very nice though! ^^
i think some yellow for the belly and some shading would go a long way!
also, more rustic fireplaces progress

Those are so prettyyy! 
the shading and texture is so clear! Amazing 
damn those fireplaces look really really nice 😄
Where to start with pixelart. Do you already chose a program to use?
I started by redrawing and recolouring existing 16bit sprites.
From where i currently change stuff about them to get a feeling for making original stuff.
16bit is a lot about breaking down complicated details into simple stuff, because you have such a small space to work with.
I find 32bit easier sometimes, because you have more space to work with.
thanks everybody! i just use firealpaca/medibang for all my art honestly. i've collected a lot of knowledge over the years from various tutorials but honestly once you learn the basics of how to convey textures and stuff, it's not too far off from drawing like normal?
Duck
Duck
Base colors and ohohohoo, their character has such interesting color palette
a little spoiler because of the blood
I love it!!!

first attempt at pixel art, and making a gif, and posting on here (this is a lot of firsts) I'm open to any and all feedback (it'd be greatly appreciated)
he vibing
He exists
Pretty!!
thought it'd be nice to share a project i did for class ahu
Woah

can someone tell me how to draw good long curly hair i can NEVER seem to make it look decent 
like im okay with short curly hair but everytime i make it long it looks like ass

R.. RUKIA 🥺
@vale shoal this is a way late reply but: i could definitely see about setting these up as tilesheets! i'll see how she has hers and try to figure it out
also: i'm on a furniture mod kick so if anybody has requests for things yo uwant to see that aren't already in the game/that you just want my take on please feel free to request somethinggg
@boreal bobcat It's pretty simple: you just upload them into the Content/Maps folder under a name, then the game recognises them as just another tilesheet and any mod can target it (as long as they have dependencies). It's a great way to let others use your mod without having to upload the files with it. As for more furniture... hmmm.... I haven't got anything specific (except maybe a birdhouse) but as a map creator, I do get a little tired of using the same interior decorations for everything. So... more flowers, maybe a few different toys, and even just bookshelves or couches or tables that are of a slightly different design. Your work is gorgeous, btw!
Thank you! I can definitely load all of these into their own tilesheets for sure. I glanced at daisyniko's and they don't seem super difficult to set up at all.
i've had some requests for some exterior decor esp since next update will have outdoor placement so i can definitely keep those in mind
m drawing my main ocs,, about 3-4 more, i think 
how does it look so far? yes,, they all have similar expressions because theyre depressed farts
Lovely!
@gloomy summit you got a twitter or insta or something?
I don't have one. I used to, but I wasn't active at all
You can find some of my doodles here in discord tho
i love your art rase 
thank you
💕

im trying to draw hayley, and i need to draw wavy hair, does this look okay
@velvet sun @mossy leaf
thank u 
lmao peach that emote
it looks not bad the left side could use more work
Doesn’t look bad!
thank u

something other than mods... redesigning my ravnica dnd character's outfit
I havent drawn anything in FOREVER
quick, someone give me a stardew valley related prompt
Or i might fall back into the claws of procastination
Christmas Krobus? :3
Omg that would be so cute! I second Christmas Krobus!
I had the lineart finished but medibang crashed on me :,(
Medibang used to crash so many times when I used it, it was a nightmare 
It usually never crashes on me unless i save stuff as psd
It was not the case
It apparently crashed while doing the backup save
I often forget to save, and I always regret it 
So now im scared that it didnt save ;(
Aw man 🥺
Awwww i lost like 30 min of workk
People talking about problems with digital art software
Me: Bursts through wall
"Did somebody say, freeeee alteeeerrrrrrrnativesssss?"
Ok but actually there's a pinned message on this channel with an entire list.
heH, Medibang is my alternative to photoshop (which i have to use for school) bc if medibang sometimes acts up, photoshop straight up is a carnival
i make a rare appearance to say i'm doing nanowrimo and sending good vibes to everyone else who is as well
jade 
nanowrimo is too scary for me, good luck 
@unkempt tinsel are you writing fanfic for nano? 👀
i aaaaam

LOL I feel that. Good luck!
thank u, u too if ur participatin'!
So like... does everyone think Alex is taller than Sebastian? asking for a friend who definitely isn’t about go crazy drawing ship art
Definitely 
My friend says thank you LOL
alex is deffo taller than sebastian
So if Alex were to ask Sebastian to hold his jacket, and Sebastian were to put it on, it would be slightly and adorably big
Yesss rubs hands together
@gloomy summit your Shane is so handsome!
AAY THANK YOU
So if Alex were to ask Sebastian to hold his jacket, and Sebastian were to put it on, it would be slightly and adorably big
@vagrant crow And that's actually a great idea
The ship hit me like a wave and I am helpless LOL saves your pic 👀
that sounds absolutely precious 
@vagrant crow Ahem 
thats freaking adorable
although i wouldve expected alex to just throw seb over his shoulder and sprint
it's the jock goth dynamic 😭
EXACTLY!!
pretty , gd 

I’m using procreate for the first time today! Loving it!
Also wow hands, feet, and mouth/teeth are so hard to draw
progress on a thing im doing
ahhh so cute 
Noice
https://gyazo.com/d0c8cb4c6291a63a9c8a4c34927931b2 me unsure what colours to use for her outfit
hallo lovelies
:0 I love it
to much leg skin :kappa:
None of my severs have a kappa
Odd
Eh sure
:0 I love it
to much leg skin :kappa:
@steady ploveronly christian drawings here xD
MY VIRGIN EYES
I really like how people do their lineart here, time for me to learn properly
I struggled with procreate first but now I cant imagine coming back to pc+tablet combination
i wish there was a nice vector app too, which would actually allow me to transfer every piece of workflow on it 


nice vector app - i mean the one with something like blob brush tool in adobe illustrator, with pressure etc
i don't have procreate but seeing people draw with it makes me really wanna try when i get a hold of an ipad someday
actually there's a pocket version! maybe i should try it some time!
Yeah I just started using procreate today and I love it! Wish I started sooner
wip for more sdv characters with animal ears (sam, alex, seb - was originally going to put shane, but i think shane might go to his own piece altogether)
so EXCitedd
@cerulean hollow For the outfit maybe white, grey and black or some sort of yellow or green and black?
https://gyazo.com/41f9aa34d979d51954124e807cd95540 i ended up going for these colour set x:
Fits
Humble Bundle with an animation book deal: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/mastering-animation-crc-press-books
Also includes some voice acting stuff.
quick opinion are these hands too small
A lil bit
Usually hands can be as big as the head
Like, length wise
And wide wise half of the face
Yeah, it looks like he can't properly use the sword
hmm ok thanks
bottom part still needs refinement
I would maybe widen the hips a bit because my man has some wide shoulders
For equilibriums sake
yeah
Hm? Is this Technoblade?
https://gyazo.com/ffc992b63a1837e813d3d8924c09e023 what do you guys think so far :> i dont know what to do background wise tho
Looks good^^ Maybe she could sit in a tower or under a tree in the grass?
Or one of these cozy bays in buildings with a rustic windows and some pillows and books.
Witch hut with brewing potions and shelves full of wacky ingredients
Cozy
I like cozy
I second will
@warm herald yup
Cool^^ I saw this animation of the technoblade versus dream fight.
The drawing looks good^^
thanks
abigail wip bc i want to turn some of my inktober drawings into less of a pixelated style
Oh. Smooth
I love the lineart 
sobastian
nicely done comet, how many furniture have you done so far? 
I thought that was far too detailed for portrait mod aiku, but thanks 
Sebbo
alright, this is far from being edgy now
he go uwu
angy
Angy
@boreal bobcat are those doggy beds? 
@exotic wren they are! Somebody requested some more pet items and it seemed cute
sketching sadcats for stickers
day 3 of pixel art month with some stained glassss
Ahh! Colors!
i thought you meant colors as a curse when i saw it in my inbox. i've been reading warbreaker too often.
but also yeah that is pretty cool
that stained glass is sooo pretty 
I suddenly have the notion to draw a comic where Seb is lamenting the fact that Abigail married the farmer while Sam comforts him at the saloon:
——————
Seb: "Well, there's Abigail with the farmer. Augh, I'm jealous, but how do I compete with that?"
Sam: "Hey man, maybe you can't compete because, uh, you're not playing the same game, you know? (I think) I'm sure you'll win when you find someone who ehhh... plays your tune. Yeah. (nice one Sam; I'll have to remember that for later)"
Seb: "Thanks Sam. It's just that, none of the other girls here have really caught my eye. I wish there was someone out there for me."
Camera pans to the right slightly; foreground with Seb and Sam blurs and focus shifts to the saloon door behind them.
Athina, Popplio, Lizzy, and several other artisan's farmsonas whose names slip my mind slide in through the door, Tom-and-Jerry-style.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v8jnJ16iJfw1xNJTqX-e5c86kSjTEoQS6uJM27FMr2E/edit?usp=sharing why did I.... I made pixel art in google sheets. thats it.
Looks cool!
my friend asked me to-
oh no, but also oh yes
how should i go about adding texture to this
considered adding teeth, but teeth are hard
thinking dents, idk
should i even add texture though
@gloomy summit how is this wow
i've literally only been doing pixel art for about 6 hours total
i followed a guide, and used images as reference. it wasn't that hard, i just rolled with mistakes i ran into. this was originally gonna be a normal skull, but i went with a metallic look because i made it too shiny on accident
I really like how it's looking so far! It has an unique shape and the shading looks cool
I'm not good at describing, but that some of the things that I actually like
i feel like i dont have the skill to improve it any more
if i give it more shading it'll have banding
if i attempt to texture it i'll make it noisy
and idk how to antialias well
i tried in the eyes
I'm not experienced in pixel art either aah, but I'm sure you'll make it
this isn't supposed to be my big skill though lol
i'm a tad good at 100 things
:\
i can't "finish" any one thing though
i know enough programming to know i don't know enough programming
i know how to use blender well enough to look like i know how to use blender (3d modelling and rendering program)
i'm mediocre at tech support
you get the idea
OOF All I know how to do is to draw cute anime guys and stuff, 3d modeling, pixel art, coding... I don't know any of that aah
each one is easy to get into but hard to master
wanna learn how to code? grab unity and the ability to read wikis
you'll learn C# in the process of making a game
which requires good art and 3d modelling skills
i can make a baseline "this almost works" thing
It's kinda hard cause English is not my first language aah, I'm trying to learn basic C# to make mods, but I'm not improving that much
mods for what
Stardew Valley lol
also, chances are there's a translation library you can grab somewhere
what language do you use
speaking language, not coding language
Spanish!
@hollow trellis i think your next should be fixing the shading. the top part should be shaded more like a sphere, if i can find a ref somewhere i'll send it
you could also manually alias a ton of function names
@tranquil comet ok
most of the time spent on it was shading
i tried to do that
wdym
what i mean, is i'm trying to avoid bands of lighting
i know what banding is but like it should be shaded like a sphere versus a piece of paper
i dont see how i made a piece of paper but ok
are you saying i should round out the line where the light stops
if im understanding you correctly yes
tried just rounding it, and less is illuminated
also you said you were trying to avoid banding but these bits are banded
sorry lol
tried just rounding it, light looks to be somewhat behind the skull now
send
you dont need that much shaded
so you're saying i overdid it
should i get rid of the highlights in the darker area
no keep those
so, get rid of the "shadows" then
the darker areas in the holes
i'm keeping the mouth area though, idk how else i should show that its an underbite
keep the lower jaw all shaded in then
when i get home i can help more, im on my phone now
once i get back i can show some examples
ok
ill try and show this as best as possible on my phone, but i think you should define the form a bit more. like for example, if you look at a real skull, it looks a bit like this
so i would suggest adding highlights where the yellow is and shading where the red is
a backlight may also help
^^
a subtle one though, and not exactly on the edge
lol
i've only been doing this for a few hours
so i dont think i'm up for handling multiple light sources atm
lol
and yea i was kinda avoiding shading the cheekbones good catch
also i already have a highlight on one of the yellow areas
if you've only been doing this fot a few hours i'd avoid complex shapes like this
yeah i know, i was just doing a general definition
well i was picking a complex shape because it's complex
that aint smart, start small and work your way up
lol
If you break it up into simple shapes, it shouldnt be hard as long as you account for the intersections
took me over a year before i decided it was smart to think bigger
lately i just do terraria spriting for a couple mods though
i jumped from trad art to pixel art, so i already had a general grasp of form once i started
thats smart
some people consider pixel art easier but its much more limited, though you can incorporate key details in only a couple pixels
so having prior experience is helpful, i just yeeted myself into pixel art with the goal of making a game (which im very close to starting, just need to learn unity)
oh yeah, i love the limiting aspect of it. sometimes intense rendering is a pain
in regards to digital and traditional art not including pixel art anyway
thats fun! im jumping into comics before i start making my game, so its an interesting experience
animation is the one aspect im missing when it comes to pixel art
i know how to code a bit, so once i learn unity all i need then is animation and music
You're thinking about making games?? That's so cool!
good luck!
as someone who’s used to frame by frame animation, it’s so much easier with pixel art
i need to learn subpixelling
once i do that i’ll be basically set
im just so used to static images
its also a lot more forgiving if your frames aren’t as well defined, i remember redrawing a hecc ton of frames with my first animated short bc they just didnt work well
pixel art is great for animation
after all i've been stuck in a terraria hellhole for over a year now
i should probably put my procrastinating on hold and work on some more tasks
the mod is really slow rn but im so behind on my tasks
and lucky me, one of them is a pet i worked really hard on and will have to animate once i finish the base
everything ive made so far. theres the summon item (the “floral flute”), the buff icon, and then my progress on the pet itself which i called the Blossom Snake
happy with the buff, the rest... not so much
the palettes arent mine, but i have the freedom to change them since i got promoted to lead dev since then
;o prettyyy

@fresh anvil can you link your blog? 
sorry the themes all messy 😭
i feel crazy bc i just made the blog so it doesn't even show up in the tags
your style is incredible
ahhh thank you 🥺
that's my sdv dump blog
so i drop all my sdv art in there since i feel bad for clogging up my main blog wiht it 😭 also i am embarrassed by myself
UMMM tbh i think people stalk my blog and i don't want them making fun of me drawing a f/m relationship so muhc given that i'm a lesbian and people will use it to invalidate me
like old friends so i just wanna post all my sdv brain rot garbage in 1 little place
aww thank you!
your art is amazing
f/m relationship is.. wait 
female/male relationship? or transgender relationship?
sorry my brain is dead
OH female/male relationship
someone make fun of that seriously
YES THEY DOOO
it's sad bc i love drawing sdv but my old friends will find anything to make fun of cause they're mean ppl 😔 i hold back on drawing sappy shit cuz i feel so guilty then
thank you! i might have to repost the post until my sideblog shows up though
gosh, why tumblr didn't allow to edit post oof
people will really be like "that's straight so its oppresive" or something
i mean i don't blame people for not wanting to see it but just don't follow me then 😭 i hate being scared that people will cause i ship my oc with one of my fave charas in sdv say that i'm not a lesbian
my senior used to tell me if you post your art in tumblr, would be best if you're bracing for "that kind" of people
luckily there's no one I spot so far, maybe because my tumblr is so dead 
is this a place for non sdv related art
UHH it hink
both #creative and #creative-discussion is always open for any kind of arts, just not low quality meme
I personally recommend if you post WIP here instead of #creative tho, because WIPs tends to blow to long discussion than completed arts
what stuff lio?
uh I'm replying to popplio not you atm xD
well about your art north, I'm basically not a person who is used to critique someone unless I know their artstyle
its very good
the overall shape is accurate
however the eyes and mouth are more human-like
and the neck is a little thick
oohh okay
tumblr posts in the tags my bad
i'd give that pic a furrier texture
bc it is a dog
idk how to draw fur but i'll work on that
ahhh hol don
if you post more of your art or maybe your artsite, I'm able to observe it and give critiques based on your artstyle
I mean.. just put lots of tags on it tho
oh it just doesn't show up period
ok cool thank you popp!
I usually put tags this much for example
yet still receiving so little likes and reblog 
i'm so sorry 😭 i hate when you take forever on osmething and it gets no notes
I was wondering maybe it's because of how my blog runs
it's just a gallery, and most artist apparently used their tumblr just like normal social media
honestly i wish i had twitter
also I don't reblog someone else's post lol
in twitter however, I do retweet lots of arts
but still receiving little to no followers 
i changed the neck a bit, is this better?
also what software are you using north
firealpaca
i tried krita and didn't like it too much, it was really confusing lol

Okay, before I start the portrait part more properly, someone has any advice to help me on the way? It's more to match this Portrait to the sprite. I'm open to any help 
Oh wow, we use the same Pixel Art program
I sadly can’t offer any advice, as I am very much a beginner
Apparently this is how arms work
I understand why I kept getting them wrong
3d art is diffcult

Uhhh was I not supposed to mention it 
It was beautifully sang
It was sad, but beautiful
I feel bad now
why?
I MISSED IT
Yes, ankshus

I’m good at guitar, so maybe I’ll like play that or something
And what song would I sing anyway
Let It Go
~ ~ ~ ~
I don't have a mic
Let it go... from frozen?
Yes
w h a t
DMW
Because I know phones have built in ones
i could use the built in one
The biggest issue is I have no semblance of privacy
if my parents saw me singing at the computer, they'll probably uhh
idk
I wish I did
Same
I try my best to improve, but I can’t when I have like no time to myself
Oh and did I mention, I voice was already changing due to puberty, and now for the last one year, I have been shouting a lot
and my throat is now permanently sore
I hope it heals
I really really hope
Ah. Puberty
Puberty is not favorable, I must say
I’m still within the age range of puberty, unfortunately
Puberty had few changes, its shouting at people, would not recommend
Maybe one day, if my throat heals, and I'm alone
I do not shout often, only when my thumbs get crushed by fridges do I ever shout
