I draw every single day you would think I’d be good at it.
#I know practice makes perfect#I know that I should be studying the fundamentals#I know I should be trying to actively learn if I want to improve#but I am I am I am I am I’m trying to learn#every drawing every day#why aren’t I better yet why does my art still look like this#I just want to make pretty and cool things#I want to make pretty and cool things in reasonable time spaces#I want to be faster#so I can make more things#it’s been taking too long to get things done and it’s really getting to me#because it used to be school work that took to long and art that was fast but now over summer it’s like art is taking too long#and I don’t know why#I should be faster I should be better I can focus on it but it doesn’t make the drawing work#I don’t post anymore and I don’t know why#dawnsays

Yandere!Jinx x reader x platonic! Isha
TW: Implied kidnapping, Jinx is kind of delusional, sex mention but like just the word sex
When your captor arrived back at your prison you didn't expect that she would bring a child with her.
"This is Isha, say hi." She says to you, offhandedly like she didn't just pick up a random kid of the street. "She's staying with us from now on."
You did not want to say hi, to be honest you wanted to punch Jinx in the face. She up and left for who knows how long and now she adopted a child?
That is a new level of audacity from Jinx.
You say nothing for long enough that it makes Jinx's eye twitch, she takes a deep breath instead of spiraling.
...
You didn't know she could do that.
Jinx kisses you, "Y/N is my girlfriend. She's a bit grumpy, right now. C'mon, I'll show you around!" She grabs Isha's hand and starts energetically touring her around a not child safe environment.
You resist the urge to roll your eyes into the back of your head.
After a couple of weeks, everything became normal. Isha and Jinx would go out every once in a while, you're not allowed to come, Jinx thinks you'll get kidnapped. You're not sure how to explain that you're already kidnapped without putting her into some sort of breakdown.
Today, the duo decided to stay home. They wanted to spend time with their favourite person (second-favourite in Isha's situation that girl idolizes Jinx.)
You're being used as chair by Jinx at the moment. You suspect there might be a bomb or a big gun on her person, she is heavy.
"Uno!" Jinx exclaims, setting down her last card. She turns to face you, "This our third win," 'our', she says because she thinks that you belong to each other, "You're a good luck charm."
She kisses you and drags it out on purpose. Isha looks like she just walked in on her parents having sex.
It makes you laugh. You've gotten used to this type of peace.
You like this type of peace. You wonder how long it will keep.
#Again practice makes perfect#I need to sneeze in case you wanted to know#yandere jinx#yandere jinx x reader#isha#yandere arcane#arcane

As someone who read the second half of the Drizzt series as it came out (yes I'm that old lol), I just know you have thoughts about him/the books so PLEASE share! So glad there are so many younger DND players getting into it and keeping our lovely boy alive <3
YOU'RE SO RIGHT ANON I DO HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM
i just!!!! love him!!! so much!!!! he's such a treasure
idk if this is me just overthinking things but the fact that he's THE dnd hero but he's also like. a petite little guy and his defining character trait is being KIND and he loves his friends and he's very physically affectionate (which feels kind of crazy to me that the early books came out so long ago and he was always like that??) and his best friend is his cat and he likes to have FUN and he treats swordfighting like dancing and he STILL sought the approval of his family even after years of abuse aND HE JUST LOVES EVERYONE SO MUCH
he's truly the fantasy protagonist of all time i love him i need to kiss him on the forehead
#ramble#legend of drizzt#i love that people just Know how i feel about him akdfhdfh#i am nothing if not consistent#spoilers ahead for these decades old books lmao#and also it's wild to me that he has VERY obvious ptsd/survivor's guilt but nobody outside of the drow make him feel less than for it???#ngl it was a slog getting through the opening of book 1 but then he started drawing on the floor with his feet and i was in love with him#i am SO excited to take him to mcm in may#i never do cis male characters but i'm also a short king so i feel weirdly comfortable akdhdfh#i'm cooking an essay in my brain about the drow bc i have so many thoughts#disclaimer: i do practice media literacy. i know these books aren't perfect and a lot of dnd lore is. bad#there's a lot of it where i'm like 'hm i don't feel good about the real world connotations this has'#tbh i think all you can do is say 'this was problematic then and it is now so let's acknowledge that it happened and not do it ourselves'

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems
#sketchbook#scrapbook#Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at#but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open#image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best#medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a#limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont#know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and#excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines#and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch#pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color#or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being#'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my#outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one#more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page#before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then#was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down#stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and#having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's#a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the#scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol#Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube#face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to#work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time#be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm#(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a#pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

[ID: an 11 panel comic featuring characters from the owl house. Panel 1- a cloaked Darius sneaking around a wall. panel 2 he peaks around the corner, saying "well? Did you retrieve...the package?". Panel 3 Hettie Cutburn (who has old Hollywood style text announcing "surprise Hettie Cutburn!" next to her) says "Darius! Of course! Took some digging but I found them eventually. Tell the boy I say 'hi!'". Panel four- she hands documents labeled "classified" to Darius. Later, Hunter (post timeskip) walks through a door in Darius' home, saying "hey Darius, hey Eber, I'm ba-". Next panel- Darius, Willow, and Eberwolf on the couch. Hunter says "...willow?", She replies "hey hunter!", he asks "what are you guys doing?
Darius says "oh nothing...except looking at pictures of you as a baby!" Holding up the documents from earlier. We see two pictures of a younger hunter framed like panels- the first is of hunter as a baby/toddler aged hunter freshly sprouted out of the ground with a blanket around him, covered in dirt, while the second one shows a young scout Hunter covered in bandages receiving his sprig plushie. Darius' narration reads "courtesy of Hettie Cutburn- she found the only surviving copy of your early life medical records and gave them to me". Willow says "aww, you were so cute!". The final panel shows Hunter looking embarrassed/stunned as Willow takes a photo of the documents, and Darius says "I'm considering it an early father's day present- so, thank you, Hunter". End ID]
MERRY DADRIUS WEEK!!! Thank you to @sergeantsporks for hosting! There's other prompts I wanna do but they'll probably be late (maybe I'll do them in bulk and upload them on the final day). Til then here's a silly comic!
#the owl house#toh#dadrius week#hunter toh#hunter deamonne#darius deamonne#won't tag eber and willow cause they're barely there#also i realize that op isn't really a fan of hubtlow i. literally forgot while making this the brainrot was so strong#it's not explicitly romantic though so hopefully it's not obtrusive. i know ships are allowed but i don't wanna annoy anyone yknow?#anyway this was 90% an excuse to draw baby hunter even though it was 90% me practicing drawing Darius#he's fun to draw! i just struggle w drawing him consistently but like. i do that w/ most characters from illustration to illustration#i finished this right under the wire. executive dysfunction and exams really got my ass#but it's finished now! not perfect but i haven't really made a proper comic since my final piece this year#on account of that one took me like 6 months#i needed comic recovery time 😭#also hope the ID isn't an issue for anyone since it's a bit spartan. i was trying to trim down it's length since a) it's long as fuck#and b) this fandom is- respectfully- whimpy as hell abt image IDs#but anyway yeah! happy dadrius week#and also happy fathers day if you celebrate!#i got my dad 'do androids dream of electric sheep' and he was really happy w/ that :]

I'm curious, do you have any specific tips for drawing fingers? Or does it just sorta come naturally with practice for you?
I started grabbing stuff so I can make this but it turned into a hand tutorial oops. Gonna try to explain a few things because it’s a lil incomprehensible. There’s 4 main ways I like stylizing fingers but they’re all broken into 2 segments instead of the usual 3 realistic ones. The shorthands are quick ways I like drawing fingers/the hand (the red arrows represent the flow of my pen). It’s all about breaking down the hand into simple shapes so it’s easier and quicker to draw!
I do recommend studying actual hands too because it’s crucial to understanding how to stylize them. Here’s some studies i’ve done in the past ^^
There’s always room for improvement, hell even I don’t consider myself good at hands but I hope this helps somehow
and finally here’s youtube videos I recommend that explain this stuff better than I can lol

I’m not deep enough in the yttd fandom to really know if this is a controversial take to have but. I think soushin is interesting. I don’t think this in a “omg wow they’re soooo in love and I want them to be together” way, not at all lol. But I think to act like it’s impossible to see a romantic/sexual aspect of their relationship is really fucking stupid. I try to refrain from acting like there’s a solid truth to their relationship cuz the game isn’t finished yet so there’s always the likelihood that we’ll get more information later, but the thing that always gets me is when ai shin mentions that hiyori claimed to be an older student at his school but he later learned that wasn’t true. It sounds so eerily like a grooming story and the way we see human shin retreating into himself In reaction to that hits really hard, like he’s embarrassed it ever happened
Then there’s stuff like the detail that hiyori would always take pictures of shin without consent and would hang them up, or the fact that hiyori kept a personal shin ai for himself that he had control over, or the way that maple is supposed to parallel shin. It all just sounds like they had a relationship that blurred the lines a lot in a way that was very uncomfortable for shin. Moments like the shin ai sobbing and Hiyori saying “no don’t be like that show me your cool side shin!” and shin reacting to that, it’s like hiyori is trying to praise shin while hurting him. Seems way too much like a common occurrence
I think also (but maybe im just projecting) that shin is pretty queer coded in a lot of ways (hot springs scene, soft-natured personality that he tries to smother, his relationship with hiyori paralleling a romantic one, etc) and I think this plays into his relationship with hiyori a lot. Because of gender roles and toxic masculinity bullshit, i really doubt shins soft personality was allowed to fly under the radar for most people, so he was isolated a lot. Hiyori probably made him feel special at first with the way he seemed to like this about shin, but it becomes pretty clear that hiyori loves to fawn over shin and treat him like a cute baby and really only loves shins personality cuz he sees it as easy to take advantage of. I think it’s really easy to imagine a scenario where shin is a closeted teenager who finally has someone he feels he can confide in and hiyori blurs the lines between romantic and platonic a lot and shin latches onto this because he wants to feel like he can be loved by another boy and thinks this is his only shot. It’s way too common and all the pieces just fit right into place, you know? And I’m aware of the line where shin says hiyori is like an older brother to him but imo I think these two things can actually perfectly coexist cuz again, theres blurring of lines going on cuz this is an abusive relationship and feelings are being toyed with constantly
Basically all this to say, I very much think it’s likely that there was a romantic and sexual aspect to this relationship going on. I wouldn’t say they were labeling themselves as boyfriends or anything, more like it was a vague mess that hiyori refused to elaborate on. I don’t ship these two cuz I think it’s pretty clear shin wants out of this relationship, but I think inherently being mad someone wants to explore the idea of them having this kinda relationship is really ignorant and is only gonna result in only shallow ass takes about abusive relationships being allowed
#yttd#shin tsukimi#sou hiyori#i feel like ive made myself way too clear here lol i just want to speak my truth 😩#maybe no one cares but just from what ive seen ppl have been like IF YOU MAKE ANYTHING RESEMBLING ROMANCE FOR THESE TWO YOURE EVILLLL#like its annoying when ppl make completely ooc shit trying to make this pairing cute cuz idk they want boys to kiss#but to act like no one can pick up on something more to their relationship like this is fucking stupid#im not saying their relationship couldnt be strictly platonic and still abusive cuz thats not true at all#im just saying hey. lets ease up a bit and allow some damn nuance#side note i hate when ppl write hiyori as comically evil in the relationship like yeah hes creepy as fuck but like#these two were close enough to be practically living together and shin kept his scarf and everything#and this is the game arguing everyone is capable of good so like. i think hiyori had normal moments too lol#ldk it just irks me when ppl write abuse as like some black and white perfect victim/evil abuser shit cuz thats unrealistic and boring#and we dont know everything that went down between these two but sometimes shin is getting brutalized a lil too much in these fics#maybe im wrong maybe he was getting strapped to the electric chair every night lol

So I’ve been trying this thing this year
Where I look at the things I’ve decided in the past were too difficult for me or that I couldn’t do so I shouldn’t try
And saying “fuck it let’s noodle around for a couple hours and see what happens”
Because the time will pass anyway and I might as well
And listen
I already knew I was far too powerful and my incredible gifts had to be nerfed by the gods in the form of about six separate physical and mental disabilities lest I threaten the fabric of reality
But it turns out that actually I am a golden god and the limits of my abilities are defined solely by a combination of my own self doubt and the amount of time and energy I’m willing to put in to practice something
I can be as good at anything as I decide I want to be, because I decide when I don’t want to put more work in to improve
And listen
This might sound hard
This might sound silly and completely inapplicable to yourself because clearly you are not as magnificent and talented as I
But that is the demon of self doubt that sits upon your shoulder to constrain your might
And how do you know you’re not also a golden god capable of anything unless you give it a try?
#self aggrandizing#it’s a lot more fun than self deprecating actually#also yeah i am Learning To Art now#and i can draw HANDS#better than faces frankly and fuck knows how that happened#anyway try all the things you think are too hard#and as soon as you stop thinking you must be perfect from the first touch#and just keep learning and focusing on where you want to improve#you too will learn that you are a golden god capable of anything#the confidence of a mediocre white man but then Actually Do Somethjng#motivation#ya damn skippy this is about dungeon meshi#none of y’all practiced and professional artists gonna make me a canary sweater i will DAMN WELL make one myself#not gonna let me throw money at my problems well i guess i will throw time and energy and learning a new skill fuck yoy
