#That's the end of it

Hi! I really adore your art. I think you’re super talented 👉👈 how did you develop your style? I’d love to improve my own art, so I’m curious to learn more

It's been like, my whole life doing it almost lol, so I'm not sure if it's a thing you can summarize...?

But basically, I think I just started out like, looking at art I liked and studying it and trying to incorporate it? Like, this looks good to me but it it's stylized, so why does it appeal to me, what is it that makes it look so good? And then you try to do your own version of it.

Learning realistic proportions and colours and whatnot is a part of it too, like, even if you do stylized anime shadow dot noses it helps when you know why and how its supposed to look.

I honestly don't know. I've just kind of been always taking note of the stuff I like forever, I consume media that inspires it and I experiment a lot. If I like something, I study it, and then incorporate it, in my own way; I'm not an original at all.

Its not sth you can guideline, you just do it. But you can I guess question yourself like:

Why does something look good?

What is it that makes it look convincing but stylized?

What are they trying to convey through style?

How does it look in real life as opposed to the style?

What do I like to draw most?

If I dont like drawing something that's important, how can I imply it anyway?

how can I make it fun?

This seems like a quiz, but like, it can be so fun! You can really dig into yourself when you examine what it is that you like visually, why it works etc. Art should not be a chore but a relief or a fulfillment or expression or something! Do what makes you feel good and makes sense, TONS of artists I admire have no realistic anatomy or colours but its beautiful, and it's so THEM.

Go with it, enjoy it, art is anything that you make of it. You wanna get a style, collect your resources and Get A Style! Just kinda go with it! Itll be there or it'll find you.

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"
