#but ibispaint x just feels Better. maybe it's because i'm more used to it and/or it's not as minimalistic as procreate. idk!!!!!

[seesboy]

so for a while i've been wanting to finally figure out montparnasse's design for this au* (despite the fact that he probably isn't even going to be in The Fic) with little success but then yesterday i randomly thought "lol what if he thought he was a vampire" and just rolled with it

(* gonna start referring to this au as linear momentum because (a) that's the name of the fic and (b) it rolls off the tongue better than Ambiguously Late 2000s au lol)

and if you wanna know how the fic's going. well. it's certainly going ! i have a good idea of how i want it to go so the only things standing in the way are my tendency to run out of steam easily during writing sessions and the writing just feeling too boring when i reread it -_- i'm fighting for my life in hopes of finishing this thing before school starts but that only gives me a little over two weeks so we'll just have to see how it goes

.⋆｡ﾟ Art vs Artist 2024! ⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

Click for better quality!

It's my first time doing art vs artist, but I thought it'd be a nice opportunity to see how it looks! My style has been so inconsistent this year (thanks multiple style crises), but I am proud of a few pieces. Mostly. I seem to use similar techniques and colors a lot, but I guess that's the point of an art style anyway. Everything up here is cropped a bit since I don't draw at a 1:1 ratio usually. If this is your first time seeing my work, I love The Legend of Zelda and Zelink!

Thanks for another fun year of art! ^^ Some stats below:

Two pieces are in this post! I love Classic Zelink, so I was trying to figure out how I wanted to draw them. :) I have a lot of drawings of them to come...

I've really been trying to figure out how I want to do backgrounds on my doodle pages. And how to draw TP Zelda properly. Still haven't figured either out, if you're wondering.

So much from EoW... I jumped on that hype so fast, it's the Zelda game I've only ever dreamed about!! ♡ Still kind of surprised nothing from Linktober is up here, though, considering it was all the better stuff. ^^" There are a few pieces I never finished this year, also... maybe 2025 will be their year!

REBLOGGING IS ENCOURAGED, BUT DO NOT REPOST.

[grape-jucie-dog]

Randomly thought of something regarding my normal version of Athena, my Devil Athena AU, and my Holy Moly AU Athena.

See no evil = Devil AU

Speak no evil = Athena normally

Hear no evil = Holy Moly AU

Let me explain.

See no evil is super Devil coded in my opinion. Something to know about my Athena Post-God Games design is that her left eye (where you can see the scars in my design) has been changed to a murky yellow color. She isn't completely blind, but her vision has definitely been affected. Normally, when she's using her powers, her eyes glow blue. But now, her left eye glows yellow. Like Zeus' eyes. She's blind to the fact that, even though she refuses to admit it, she's a lot like Zeus in many ways. Her anger, her passion, and even some of her actions in this AU, which are much more reckless than usual. No matter what, she'll always be like him. But she refuses to admit it. She's partially blind to the fact that, no matter what, she's just like the person she hates the most.

Speak no evil is super Athena coded, and here's why. Throughout the musical, specifically in the Troy and Cyclops Sagas, we know her as cold and distant. She gets frustrated with Odysseus when he spares the Cyclops, her teachings going out the window, causing the whole argument between her and Ody. And then in the Wisdom Saga, we see her again. She's hurt by what she had done, for leaving Odysseus behind, and finally she tells someone else about it. She has the confidence to speak up to Zeus, she wants to free her friend because of what happened. And she gets silenced for it. When she has the guts to stand up against Zeus, begging for Odysseus to be released, he shuts her up. Who knows if she'll ever get that sort of confidence again? The strategist, the logical one, has run out of things to say.

Hear no evil makes me think of the Holy Moly AU for two reasons. A) Athena feels like she's not being heard in the beginning, and B) Athena is shutting everyone out. At the start of the AU, in the first oneshot I made, we see Athena is stressed out. The games are still greatly affecting her, but she feels she has no one to talk to. When that one little mistake finally sets her off, no one says anything. No one does anything to comfort her. They sit at the dinner table, looking at her with pity, maybe even embarrassment. It was a cry for help that went practically ignored. And now, when Athena turns to Moly, now that everyone is trying desperately to help her get better, to get away from the drug that's making her distress worsen, she refuses to listen. They didn't hear her before, and now she refuses to listen to them.

... -sighs and opens Pinterest and ibisPaint X- Guess I'm drawing this now. (I did it LMFAO )

Hey I was wondering can you teach me to draw I'm trying but I always get frustrated and give up and stop for awhile I'm okie with drawing a sketch book but I wanna get better on draw on my phone sorry I don't exactly have a fancy set up.....

[There is no pressure I truly understand if you can not but thank you for being inspiring artist to me]

Hi!!

Lately I have received questions, sorry for the delay in responding, I barely use the networks....

First of all, it is a canonical event to get frustrated, cry, give up, in drawing, it is completely normal, we all go through that process, I still go through that process of frustration and I want to cry about it but hey, you have to take things. calmly….

It is normal to feel this way because what we have in mind does not come out or we rush into the facts that we will draw like professionals the first time but no… things in drawing are with constant practice (I will not lie to you I never practiced anatomy…or I practiced something specifically, but if you watch videos and draw sketches daily, believe me you will give some improvement in the drawing, you can have a better line).

As for the emotions when drawing, maybe… you need a break from drawing. In my case, when I go through these frustrating things and give up drawing, I always give myself a lot of time to come back or even watch a series that makes me draw again. I watched an anime called "New Game" that deals with drawing in some chapters and I must say that it motivated me a little to want to draw, or also play a game that interests you, read a story, dance to your favorite music or listen to your music list, do something different from drawing to clear your mind of everything and when you are ready, try it again but more calmly since otherwise you may get frustrated to the point of wanting to abandon drawing and we don't want that…

Secondly, you don't need a very expensive or "fancy" device or setup, it doesn't matter, you can draw on paper, draw on cardboard, on the phone, on a PC with a mouse, draw on walls… I don't. I know… it's not necessary to have technological equipment or something big to draw great.

I don't know if I can help you in this aspect but since you said that you want to draw more on the phone, I recommend what many use and that is… "IbisPaint X" to draw, it can be very useful, watch tutorials either on YouTube or Tiktok , there will always be a person willing to teach you the basics.

Thirdly, taking advantage of the fact that you draw more in notebooks, use your own sketches to learn to draw on the phone.

Take pictures of your drawings and transfer them to the drawing app to draw better, it can be relaxing and not so frustrating. EVEN IF you don't trace drawings from the internet…or if you do…give credit, if the creator of that drawing is not there, don't upload it, keep it as something personal without uploading it to a social network, keep it as drawing practice for you.

Another tip, if you don't want to use your sketches from the notebook to transfer them to the app, then on the phone screen (I assume you draw with your finger) makes crazy lines, be they curved, straight, it just makes scratches on the app canvas of drawing and if you manage to make a small drawing, better, because you learn little by little, I never learned to draw on the phone so I admire you and I wish you good luck in it, I would like to see how you progress in this sense with the drawings from your phone but I will have to wait for your progress perhaps in the future when you feel confident.

And I leave this as an extra… I must say that I honestly don't know how to draw with structured anatomy because I actually draw directly through shaky lines but for some occasions, in this case… to draw my Oc Tom, I need this type of structures For this I use geometric figures, circles, cubes, squares… so yes! I leave this to you to guide you so that you can at least draw your own character, I highly recommend Pinterest, that application will inspire you (although be warned, you will get addicted to the ideas so be careful haha, you can stay there for hours)

And…..yes, the hand I made in the drawing looks like a box of potato chips haha, that was the idea…

(I repeat that I am not the right person to explain these things because I don't know how to explain myself well and I tend to be very negative and demotivating but I hope I have helped you in some way… -cries- …)

Bye! take care of yourself!

Drink water and eat well, neighbor, good luck with your drawings, I hope it goes well for you and I hope to see your art in the future.
