hey! thanks a lot dude though im not sure im the right person to ask this to since my art still has a lot to improve but from what i’ve gathered:

1-If you’re self taught, fuck tutorials. trial and error that bitch up, you’ll learn a lot more,

2-unless you’re gonna do like classical style paintings, keep movement and line fluidity in mind wayyy more than anatomy and realism,

3- studying others artists is fun and cool and can teach you a lot, don’t be scared. studying from real-life subjects is much harder but also a lot more rewarding. find your balance,

4- ditch the pencil and eraser, grab pen or ink. (at first it’s hard, but do some exercises to build confident movements in lines and vision. this can be as simple as drawing criss cross lines or quick circles over and over, or trying to draw 20 side profiles, badly done, as fast as you can with as little lines as possible, without caring whether it looks good. do it quickly, one after the other, carelessly),

5- color theory is not a myth, but it’s also not as complicated as people tend to make it. trial and error that bitch up, too. look at how colors interact in real life, how there’s hardly any pure, homogenous colors. take pictures of things and then turn them black and white and see how the values work themselves out,

6- don’t give up, watch Kiki’s delivery service and listen to the advice of the Crow Girl, and

7- make bad art. art doesn’t have to be “good.” there’s no “good” art,

8- in character design, it’s much more important to make the character be an expression of how they are (through shapes, lines and color) rather than being anatomically accurate,

9- everything can be broken down into basic shapes, and yet hardly anything in real life is perfectly straight. the human body has no right angles, walls and tables have imperfections, things are changing and moving all the time, so don’t get worked up about details. and lastly,

10- ditch everything i’ve told you and everything anyone has ever told you, go make whatever art feels right, however it feels right.

She’s done! This is, to my knowledge, the first ever Black Butler work I did. Grell actually used to be favourite character and I used to hate Sebastian (most because I watched the anime and his characterisation in the anime is utter garbage, as Americans say). I liked her because she had a cool chainsaw :) I later learnt the joys of projecting onto fictional characters and read the manga, which turned me to the dark side (being a Sebastian fan), and the rest, they say, is history.

So when I made this drawing back in 2016 I did not know Grell was a woman, because at the ripe old age of Child, living in bumfuck nowhere (a descriptor that can be applied to most of Scotland) I didn’t know that trans people existed. However, that is a bit of a rubbish twist, so I had her sat next to a slain bizarre doll, because I also hadn’t heard of Book of Atlantic at the time.

Tldr, it’s okay to not know things

i was scrolling through photos i’ve taken at art museums and was reminded of this piece by marie laurencin (titled chanson de bilitis after a collection of poetry by a fictitious contemporary of sappho). it’s a print and this isn’t the exact one i saw/took a photo of but the picture is higher quality

this was one of the pieces that stood out to me the most the whole museum trip last november and it’s still so striking to me. it has occurred to me that the conjoining is kinda twin fantasy which is why i felt the need to share it. anyway. lesbians!
