What happened to the Undertale humans?

Well, long story short, I started working full time again and immediately got burnt the hell out. I’m JUST getting back into drawing. Sobs

Back again with more of my yaelokre oc ehehehe :3c

Also i can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but he plays the bodhran (an Irish drum), and I made him suuper Irish-coded cause my family’s Irish and. Yk. It’s neat to see my roots represented in a way that isn’t copaganda (looking at you, Blue Bloods)

Anyway, Finn is my child and I love him dearly.

AND WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THE WONDERS OF GRADIENT MAPPING ???? WHY DID I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT NOW AFTER 9 YEARS OF DRAWING DIGITALLY ????

[byryles]

I’M OBSESSED WITH MEADOWLARK !!!! All the art reminds me of butterscotch candies and I love it sm anyway have a doodle of Cole and my own OC.

Also, spare me fellow Meadowlark fans, I’m having such a hard time figuring out the lore sobs. But I know that Finn’s animal mask is for a grey wolf, so. There’s that.

Cole, the character in the second image, and the whole concept of Yaelokre/Meadowlark belongs to @yaelokre!!

Day 4 of Undertale characters as humans! Today is Papyrus! I’m aware I missed yesteday, but in my defense I didn’t feel good so. Bleh. Anywho, I had to make sure he turned out good cause he’s my best friend’s AND my boyfriend’s favorite character, and if I got him wrong I think they’d beat me up. Come back tomorrow for Monster Kid!

ANYWAY, go to my yt to see the shorts for this series along with other speedpaints!

Day 2 of Undertale as humans! Today we have Toriel and I think she came out really well! My friend asked why she looks nervous, and that’s because she just watched you flirt with a frog. You’d be concerned too.

Anyway, come back tomorrow to see Sans!

30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D

I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!

Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell so everyone can follow along and see each other’s awesome artwork. I may even create a blog and reblog them! :D

What are you waiting for? START!

Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself

Draw a figure using a reference - link to reference

Draw a figure that’s in action, using a reference - link to reference

Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.

Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes

Let’s have some fun. Design a character from either This or This character generator! Be creative and bring something to life!

Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.

Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Bonus points for creativity. Double points for dramatic lighting.

Draw a landscape of a place you’ve never been or drawn.

Draw a BG with 1pt Perspective. Negative points if it’s a railroad or an empty street.

Draw a BG with 2pt Perspective.

Look out a window. Draw what you see. Bonus points for adding something interesting.

Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it.

BG with either bird’s eye or worm’s eye view.

Halfway there! Draw three 'action’ scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable! Bonus points if it’s the same scene, but different composition.

Draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page). 

Draw an animal you’ve never drawn before. x10  Link references.

Draw a car. Negative points for whining. Hint: Use a perspective grid.

Think of the thing you hate drawing the most. Guess what? Draw it! Negative points for lying to yourself.

Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure.

Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows

Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. Bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.

Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.

Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don’t forget light and shadows!

Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.

Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Bonus points for 'uncommon’ emotions. (i.e. anxiety, guilt, despair, loneliness etc.)

Draw three random shapes using your opposite hand (or your foot). Now design characters from those shapes.

Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.

Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.

Last day! Find a drawing you did within the last year. Now draw it again using what you’ve learned! Link it for comparison!

 Look at all that amazing improvement! Congrats!

[Update] There is now a sequel challenge, Draw All The Things!

Saving this for myself hehehe

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

The Last Unicorn

I rewatched The Last Unicorn again after literal years and had the sudden realization that I can just DRAW Lady Amalthea.

In other news, this is the first fully finished piece I’ve done in a while, and it feels really good to do it again. I’ve mostly been making doodles as of late, so being able to sit down and put a lot of time and effort into an art piece.

ANYWHO, this is also posted to my tw*tter and yo*utube, those l!nks are in my b!o (censored cause idk how Tumblr feels about plugging).

Critiques welcome!

Sadly, I don’t have a drawing of Neil. However, I do have a trollsona I can share :3
