me having gone to bed at 6 am every day for the past week and generally spiraling mentally while rotting in bed waking up this morning: a 4 mile hike in the heat is a really good idea right now, and while we're at it let's start like 3 art projects

i wish i could have a silly little day on tumblr but I have to read my 80 page HOA document to see if the boomer condominium overlords will ALLOW me to get my new dishwasher (that i bought on black friday like a true, miserable adult marching towards death) DELIVERED AND INSTALLED on the 23rd as expected or if I have to cancel the delivery because there are too many rules for me to abide by and my soul is simply too tired to jump through the necessary hoops to comply.

love planning out an entire video game that will take me years of learning to get started on making.

[ID: a digital drawing of tome kurata from mob psycho 100, depicted sitting down crossed legged and placing her hand on her chin, thinking. She glances upwards to the right, as a small UFO is seen circling around her head and lightly illuminating its surroundings. Behind her, a spherical shape of the starry night sky is visible, and placed over a light teal rectangular background. End ID.]

We're getting into her time to shine in the series, so. tome time

what is the process you use to make your drawings? and what base do you use for the people, I’m trying to get better at drawing people myself, and I absolute love your style! 😊

Hi! I usually

1) sketch out my compositions

2) do a clean sketch/dirty line work layer

3) do my base colors

4) do a basic shading pass with a multiply layer and a hardvpainting brush

5) do a basic highlight pass with a 30% add layer and a hard inking brush

6) do more multiply and add layers from there until I'm happy

7) merge, and fix any final things by color dropping and painting directly onto the layer

Here's a speedpaint of my process I posted before, its a bit different from the process described, but honestly I'm always playing around with different styles and processes so I mess around with these steps a lot lol

(Similarly i can never tell people what brushes i use because I usually just download a bunch of cool looking free ones and then choose a random one)

As for drawing people, I also can't really give many shortcuts; I'm a biology student who learned art under someone who was classically trained, so I basically did studies until I learned the bones and muscles, and now for better or for worse, I don't really use references. I'd say what really changed the way I thought about drawing people was learning all the joints in the body, and how they functioned.

Like, knowing the range of motion of your body is super helpful, and even if your proportions are weird you won't end up with janky posing.

It's also helpful, when drawing muscles, to think of your body as a piston system. You have an antagonist muscle that pairs with each muscle that essentially reverses it's motion (think: biceps and triceps) and thus whenever you draw a person flexing an arm, for example, keep in mind that if you draw that buff bicep, you gotta also leave room for the triceps. Also remember that fat exists on any healthy person, so limbs should really never be sticks

Last drawing tip for people: learn how to shade things, like just generally. Things are a mix of hard and soft shadows, and don't be scared to really push your values to be very light and dark. I've been told not to shade with black but honestly, the way I layer multiply layers just means I do it anyways and as a not-professional, I like how it looks

tldr: unfortunately, I don't know any tricks or shortcuts, I only can suggest to learn the rules before you break em. Sometimes classical art training techniques are good

no because i get so stuck on how endless everything feels, how life is so long and these horrible habits i have now are part of my life story forever but

life is so long. every little good choice i make will add up. i don’t have to fix everything today, it can take time

my theme has nested posts instead of stacked posts and it is Driving Me Crazy

Even just half-heartedly looking for work as someone who is legally blind, autistic, with no highschool diploma, GED, or degrees and who can't leave the house is a very specific kind of let-down and disappointment that just really makes a person depressed.

now that one's a keeper for sure
