Do you post art tutorials or just generally your process of things? I’m so fascinated by your art and I want to know what your process is, I find your style so unique and fun

I try to save WIP files each month to post on Patreon, and Ive answered a few asks here or there about certain things (like drawing braids), but for the most part I stay away from doing tutorials. It’s not because I’m trying to keep my process a secret, but moreso I don’t want to teach people how to do something if I’m doing it wrong myself!

And, honest to god anon, I don’t even know how I do art half the time; my process is different like each time I draw, depending on what style I’m using :,)

I can show you a few WIP gifs of old patreon stuff tho, to give you an idea. 

For pixel art like this, I usually just start with a blobby base sketch (if Im not animating it) and build on top of it. There’s enough there to plan what I want to do but free enough to change things if needed.

For lineless art, I really don’t do a sketch at all. I just block in the silhouettes and refine them as I go. Sometimes I don’t even do that – I’ll just start with a circle for the head and work down lol.

For my sketchy stuff, 9/10 times I throw caution to the wind and just refine the base sketch until I like it. Sometimes it works, sometimes I want to cry, but every time I actually finish something I consider myself lucky. I have like two different versions of this – Little Red, who sort of started from nothing and got all her bedazzles later, and the pumpkin family who were pretty much done from the beginning.

I guess what I’m trying to say here is that, besides not wanting to enforce not-great techniques (IE my penchant to just YOLO everything without having a solid base first) it’s hard for me to make a tutorial when I approach art so differently each time i do it :,))

Artist removes 1 inch off the peak of England’s highest mountain; Brits want their inch back.

It is still England’s highest mountain, but Scafell Pike is ever so slightly smaller now after an artist stole the top inch of the summit to display in a gallery.

Oscar Santillan, 34, was accused of vandalism after removing the stone pinnacle of the 3,209ft Lake District peak for an exhibition in London.

Ian Stephens, managing director of Cumbria Tourism, said: “This is taking the mickey and we want the top of our mountain back.”

I relate so much to this…

*aperture scientist voice* oh okay so when you taped a knife to the roomba it was “cute” and “”funny”” but when i give the largely untested, unstable artificial intelligence control over the neurotoxin emitters it’s “extremely dangerous” and “going to get us all killed”
