how long does it take you to draw your sketches/doodles? also do you have any tips to draw faster? 🙇‍♀️

I generally take 30 - 60 minutes a sketch,,,, but honestly really depends on how detailed it is.

Like a Chibi will be done in 20 - 25 minutes (Counting in the extra time I spend on minute details like a perfectionist 😭)

I for some reason really like spending egregious amounts of time on random objects too??? Unless it’s the in the background, I’ll spend 40 minutes refining it.

Random characters that are fully colored and rendered with take like 80 minutes.

The comics take usually take an hour or two per page. (If I decide to cross hatch it, my entire day will be gone with 4 pages… so I’ve been trying to find shortcuts. But not without sacrificing the quality for time lol)

I don’t think there’s any trick or magic to drawing faster. It’s really about weaponizing your artistic knowledge, and finding what’s comfortable or convenient for you!

There was a period of time where I would spend 11 or 12 hours on an illustration, and it wASS UGLYYYYY. (Some of these artworks are still available on my tumblr,,, but it’s SO LONG AGO, AND IT WAS MY 1ST OR 2ND YEAR GETTING INTO DIGITAL ART)

Overtime I learned what worked best for me, and practiced till I felt more comfortable with what I was drawing. Eventually I managed to shorten the time to 4 hours or less! Ambition was my biggest enemy but at the same time my biggest motivator. (And it still is LMFAO) 😭

EDIT (bit more to my way too long tangent): ALSO??? BRO DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE YOUR MESSY SKETCH AS LINEART OR DRAW ON TOP OF IT. I’VE DONE IT FOR YEARS NOW AND IT ADDS SUCH A GOOD EXTRA BIT OF TEXTURE,, AT THIS POINT I DON’T EVEN USE LINE-ART ANY MORE UNLESS IT’S A COMMISSION,, (IT’LL ADD LIKE AN 2-4 HOURS TO MY WORK)

#mushyrt #asks #that word minute bothers me so much #I look at it and want to refer to it as the time minute #this sketch took about 3 minutes when it should’ve been 1 minute #BUT I WAS SO HYPERFIXATED ON THE EYESSS #i say these pretty words #but THE REAL TIP IS HONESTLY THE LASSO TOOL #LASSO TOOL IS THE BEST #IT’S MY FAVORITE TOOL FOR MAKING BACKGROUNDS OR QUICK SHADING OR COLORING #OR ALSO THE MASK TOOL #TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM #THEY’RE SO GOOD #Procreate mask tool kinda sucksss #SO USE ALPHA LOCK IF YOU ARE A CONFIDENT PERSON #OR NOT AFRAID TO F**K UP #Bro I sometimes draw on 1 layer and use alpha lock and my friends look at me like I’m a menace #BUT IT!S USEFULLLL AND SO EASY #This little tangent definitely should’ve been my answer for the ‘how much do you draw’ question #but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time #AND I’M A MANIAC WHEN IT COMES TO DRAWING 😭😭#even if you rob me of a paper or pencil I WILL FIND A WAY TO DRAW #I WILL SCRATCH INTO YOUR SHIRT AND ROCKS AND MAKE AN ARTWORK OUT OF WATER OR CAT FUR #YOU WILL NOT DEPRIVE ME OF MY CREATIVE ENDEAVORS #This didn’t stick out to me until one of my friends said ‘omg ofc she’s drawing’ under her breath #like I spend every second of free time I have drawing unless I find something else interesting #The only time I’m not drawing is when I’m on the toilet or doing random everyday stuff #I forgot to talk about this but greyscale to color is insanely useful too; it teaches you different values while also being super fast #i tend to use greyscale to color when I do a BW sketch I end up liking #TL;DR - Lasso Tool + Layer Mask + Alpha Lock + Sketch as lineart

i finished the show 😭 (minor teen wolf spoilers)

it was way less a tragic ending than predicted, thank god. everyone and their mother showed up in the last thirty minutes and i loved it, coach, especially; you CANNOT tell me he didn't know something was up. man was johnny on the spot with that stick. minorly confused on alec, but i think i understand, the more i think about it? oh!, and mason and corey were so cute. scott without eyes is my sleep paralysis demon. they should've kissed in the elevator.

#teen wolf #teen wolf 6b #spoilers #this is a vague review but i will 100% rant if prompted #if alec in pack why not theo?#do you think it's at least a bit awkward for scott that his mom's dating his ex girlfriend's dad?#i'm also so so curious about where dr geyer is throughout this whole thing #he should've been told about the wolf stuff; he woulda helped them #the one strand of hair that curls and seems to poke theo in the eye is my new religion #i have so much more to say too #what do i do with my life now??#haha jk time for a rewatch

Maybe I haven't come across it...But... I'm surprised no one thought that MH's Dr Jekylls used something monstrous to complete his experiment. Which led to him becoming a half-monster himself.

He tried to eliminate the "bad" side of people. Maybe he tried to use some kind of catalyst for bad things so he could better separate those characteristics. And for him, monsters probably fell into that characteristic. Suppose he used imp essence, or something, to complete his experiment. Or maybe witch blood. Maybe that would explain why the switch from Jackson to Holt seems magical. (or perhaps fire elementals have some kind of magical affinity. Why not?)

#My brain has been thinking too much about these guys.#Together with Deuce #So I apologize in advance for my delusions.#monster high #holt hyde #jackson jekyll #dr jekyll and mr hyde

#Surgery tw #Getting an ovary removed lads #I don't actually know if that counts as a whole ass organ actually #It has been so obliterated by cysts that the Dr said and I quote 'there is no normal tissue left'#So they're not only taking out the 9cm cyst I currently have but the whole ovary it's in too #And they do that labroscopical so I legit get to go home right after which I'm v happy about #So lmk if any of you want healing progress reports for whump purposes :D #Also I woke up this morning in absolute pain from the cyst after not rly feeling for over a year except for some uncomfiness sometimes #So that's weird timing #Hope it doesn't mean that either they'll not take anything out after all bc the cyst obliterated itself oooor I die before I get to my #Operation bc I had an ovarian torsion and am currently bleeding out internally #Don't think so tho cause it's back to mild discomfort and also I had a cyst obliterate itself before and I remember that feeling much worse #Anyways welcome to my monthly tag rants over the weird shit my body is getting up to take a gift back on your way out

Every time I "finish" an AMV, I create a comparison like this.

The left side is the "effectless" draft—minimal transitions, zero coloring, limited text animation—while the right side is the "final" version I post online. It's a way to assess my work; where did the added effort elevate the edit, and where do my eyes find themselves drawn more to the draft because the "final" version is too busy, too overwhelming, too much?

I'm new to video editing. There aren't even 20 AMVs to my name, and I only seriously started a little over a year ago. My process involves a lot of struggling with what a "good" AMV is, a lot of wondering if I'm doing it all wrong—anxieties that were only exacerbated by a popular post that crossed my dash many months ago. It decried AMVs that don't edit with the full song as worthless, bad, garbage. The kids don't know how to do it right.

Not a kid, but maybe they've got a point!

Still, it was a disheartening sentiment to read. And while I might not know much, I think I am confident in knowing this: there are many AMV styles out there, and the shorter ones may certainly not be everyone's cup of tea, but that doesn't mean that they're devoid of love, time, effort, or passion. The video at the top of this post is hardly 30 seconds long, and it still took over 60 hours of spilling out ideas and cutting clips and learning new skills and scrapping new skills and tweaking transitions and coloring and recoloring and shaking my head and giving up and trying again.

Fan vidders, no matter the style they employ, are devoting their free time and energy to create. It'd be ludicrous to suggest that a movie is inherently inferior to a TV series, or a short story automatically meaningless compared to a novel.

The same should absolutely apply to fan videos.

#ramblings #shut up goop #video #amv #eye strain #*says she wants to write heiji and shinichi meta but writes this instead*#the heart writes what it wants ^^;#but yeah been thinking about writing something like this for a while?#tl;dr short vids may not be your thing but it really doesn't mean that they lack effort!#(if anything it might mean they have *too much* effort... definitely been guilty of that)#i'd love love love to create longer videos but i'm very attached to making edits with a high clip count and lots of effects #and that takes a *lot* of time! i can't even imagine doing a full song... that'd take me over 200 hours no exaggeration #and i know my style isn't for everyone but i don't think it's inherently worthy of disrespect #we're all fans here and i think fan vidders deserve so much love <3 constantly astounded by them!#it was really sad to see a post with nearly 50k notes complaining about amv makers when amvs on tumblr get maybe 100 notes if they're lucky #song in the video is 'corridors of time' by yasunori mitsuda with lyrics and vocals by laura shigihara #and the anime is detective conan #but if you're reading this you probably already know that haha

#as much as i personally really dislike the *special album variant only available for 24 hrs* marketing (and i mean really dislike)#billie is literally also doing it rn #and this is part of how my perspective on taylor is changing a bit #i have a lot of feelings but have been coming back more and more to the this is celeb behavior #like they all fall on this sliding scale of just ridiculously out of touch (and maybe selfish too) to actually an abuser / worst people #and i think taylor is closer to that out of touch / self focused side #definitely more so than say like dr*ke and way more so than like the people who have been accused/charged with truly awful crimes #(same with billie like she comes across close to out of touch but not near the other side of the scale)#and just to say never thought taylor was an awful person #just been thinking about celebs in general and this idea of out of touch to awful scale #because ive been upset by some things shes done lately #but thinking in general about celeb culture / how i approach music + celebs lately #personal #negativity tw #discourse tw

#food and weight talk ig. just in case. but #i would love to know wtf happened to make me like this rn..#had a lot of food for dinner last night and now I’m laying here awake like. okay so I can’t eat anything today #like. i know why this is happening. it’s because I’ve been getting my weight taken a lot recently bc of all my dr appts #so it’s just. made me Super aware of it as a number which has always been bad for me #but it’s also. gender dysphoria. and just general feelings of self consciousness about my body that I’ve always had #but just feel so Heightened lately. like the last month or so it’s been so so so bad #and I’m just so stressed about other things that everything is just exacerbated so like. idk my brain has latched onto this #and it’s… really hard to shake. i keep restricting what I eat bc if I then eat too much I feel guilty about it #thoughts like this have been beating at my skull for the last like 2 years bc of dr appts and stuff. and I guess it’s just finally reached #a head that makes me wanna disappear into nothing #last night I think was the first day in 2 weeks or so I didn’t go to bed hungry bc I actually ate enough. and that makes me feel Bad #i say things

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’#or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis?#but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically)#so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’#and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

A two-sentence thought/observation I had about Stranger Things’ Vecna is ballooning into a several-page thesis on how to construct a memorable villain, visually/aesthetically, and you are all going to hear about it. Eventually.

#and I am having a fucking BALL #i'm still not finished season four (yeah STILL) but even with the spoilery stuff I've been unable to avoid #and the growing hints that all the apparently random disparate aesthetic elements are connected by Lore(TM):#I still don't think he works on a strictly aesthetic level and my brain is on FIRE trying to work out why exactly that is #(the very very tl;dr version so far: no coherent primary aesthetic element linked directly to a recognisable silhouette #+ also just Too Much additional visual elements with no clear throughline)#(a good memorable visually compelling villain should have a Hierarchy of iconography. this guy's just got a constellation)#(if you have to tell a story about why the visual elements are all connected and you don't have One that people can look at and go #'oh yeah that's that guy'#then your villain is not aesthetically coherent or memorable! sorry!)#anyway. i'm going to write a post once i've got my thoughts together so i won't rewrite that post in the tags here #but yeah brace yourselves. a very enthusiastic amateur breakdown of Why Certain Villains Are Visually Iconic #(And Why Certain Others Failed At That)#(and not just the one mentioned in the post either)#coming soon to a tumblog near you

i quit smoking weed a few weeks ago on account of my being a dumbass, and i have replaced that addiction with a newfound crochet addiction. so yeah. i guess you could say i'm doing "sobriety" better than any other "sober" person in the history of "sobriety."

#i've been crocheting a bunch of little necklaces and giving them to all my friends #and now i'm crocheting a tote bag with granny square hearts #and next i think i'm gonna crochet a capybara for my siblings birthday #i hate “sobriety” but i'm fucking crushing it tbh #(i'm putting “sobriety” in quotes bc i'm still drinking #but i'm not doing any other drugs #except for the poppers i did last weekend but to paraphrase the late great dr. wendy carr #how could anyone get satisfaction out of something that only last 19 seconds?#but fr i just learned that one of my friends had to go to the hospital after taking too much acid and a bunch of other shit last week #and there may even be some permanent side effects #so i'm serious about getting straight!#i'm serious!)#personal

It has now been 12 hours after I watched it and I have finally made up my mind that I am underwhelmed by the Ted Lasso finale. (spoilers and typos in the tags)

#ted lasso spoilers #it felt so sad for ted. leaving without having much to remember the team by. everyone portrayed as happy and together in london while ted #returns to the single house in suburbia. seemingly not reflecting on his past trauma enough.#i absolutely think him going back to kansas makes the most narrative sense but the finale lacked closure #i would have been fine with him being seen skyping or visiting everyone/anyone in london #like this it was just a bit too sad #also! trent's book should ABSOLUTELY have been named after him! him rejecting trent's title added to the sadness for me #i would have liked to see some narration from trent as closing words maybe #also: the cracks shown between michelle and dr jacob were unnecessary! not that i ever liked the guy but i disliked the final implied #message here #overall the finale just didn't tie things up enough and thrww in some new elements of confusion that were left open kn a way that was not #satisfying to me (dutch guy. the roy vs jamie about keeley moments.)#they could have gone for the full fairytale ending (with ted leaving for kansas) in my opinion!#this way i was just underwhelmed even thoigh the whole show was a constant 9/10 all the time and both a comfort wagch and something that #kept my attention for the full duration of each episode (a compliment)#i have more thoughts #ted lasso s3 #ted lasso s3 spoilers #ted lasso

phone died so i couldn't post, but im gonna be like au speculating as i go through these and i want a good amount of them to be Somewhat rooted in canon? and man i gotta figure out whats just the erins being bad at establishing genuine connections between characters and a character genuinely being distant.

anyways is it just me or does bramblestar feel very distant from his children here

#he has a nice talk with alderpaw when he fails to catch anything on day 1 but he feels weirdly emotionless towards them?#i mean im a ''bramble is a bad dad to both litters'' truther but im wondering how much is like intentional #or me just looking too much into things #actually i wont take too many piss shots at the fandom here (too many)#but this person sucks so ill do it real quick. i actually think dr********r's au where brambles a bad dad to alder #is interesting in concept. like hes ashamed of his kid for not being a great hunter so he shoves him in the medicine den #and later into another clan #buuuuuut tbh i dont really like the way they went about it? like bramble berating alder in the den doesnt feel right #bramble is more the passive aggressive type i feel. at least in my au he is #sometimes more aggressive than passive but thats his main form of being towards his family #like. he doesnt physically abuse squilf. but he DOES berate and isolate her #and idk to his kids i guess him being verbally abusive would work for his character? but it doesnt feel right to me #i think if i had to go at that au itd be more like. bramble keeps negging his kid. getting at his skin #not talking to him in public even when alder calls out his name. downplaying his achievements #''oh. you finally caught a mouse. ok. thats good progress i suppose. keep at it''#idk subtle stuff like that that eats at alder's insecurities over and over and over until he snaps #and THATS when bramble snaps at him. then he pins the blame on alder for snapping first #and then he goes on about how alder is embarassing him and needs to ''go do something else''#and alder chooses to be a medicine cat on his own but its bc hes been worn down and is ashamed of his skills #rather than him being shoved in the den bc ngl i really dislike the idea that being a doctor is ass #and you go be a doctor when youre a failure at everything #if i had to do it id have alder deciding be one bc he feels like hes horrible at what his dad does #and maybe actually i wouldnt keep him as a medicine cat. idk why i dont like him being one but i dont. maybe ill see why later #but he decides its not for him and goes back to being a warrior without his dad breathing down his neck.#wait i was talking abt the shadowclan au. or he goes to shadowclan instead yippee #avos liveread
