hi majora! your art is really cute, and I hope you don't mind if I ask about your process? I'm new to art and yours is an inspiration! I wanted to ask how you learned? and your process, because you seem to draw near daily! also any tips you might have for me? thank you!

HI ANON!!! ur very sweet thank u so much WAHH <33!!! idm being asked abt that at all!!

in terms of how i learnt; i've kinda always been drawing for as long as i can remember? been posting art online since around 2013-ish so i got a big big catalogue of stuff to look back on

but learning in specifics of like, how i learned to shade n draw bodies etc etc. i studied! theres a lot of resources out there that'll break down a lot of the 'basics', i dont have any i can name off the top of my head except for morpho; whole bunch of books about body types and anatomy.

im not really good at providing tips for how to learn (bad memory </3) but studying, drawing things over and over (i do with reference and then without, and try to draw in different angles/perspectives) is very useful!

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: literally do not worry at all if what you draw the first time around looks wonky or "ugly". being negative towards yourself about your art only serves to stunt ur growth!! shakes you (and anyone reading this) by the shoulders. it can be very easy to slip into hating your art and not enjoying anything ur drawing. this is me telling u to try and draw something youve never drawn before. experiment. it may not look perfect or even "good" but it will refresh ur brain!!!!!

MY PROCESS...... oh man i really have been drawing pretty much daily huh? i do draw every day but its been a hot minute since ive been doing finished pieces haha

but basically what i do is; start with a few warm-up doodles! just anything to get me in the groove

then over the course of the day i slowly chip away at whatever pieces im working on (lined stuff will usually take me a few hours, rendered stuff takes a day or a few....)

i cannot really assist in like "so how do you draw?" because i honestly just go Lights Off Its Drawin Time! but i always do a rough sketch of an idea i have, refine the sketch, refine that sketch, and then if its rendered i'll make a palette for myself somewhere, but if its lined i'll start on the lineart and then fiddle around with colours.

i draw for fun, so if i dont like how somethings turning out, i'll stop drawing it. no use frustrating myself over a piece to the point of hating it!!

(this ones just forfun and just for me) i keep a small little doc full of notes about my own pieces! i like analysing stuff, and also enjoy talking about why i draw something in a specific way, so this is just a nice little thing for me to have fun with. also helps me avoid potentially slipping into "hate this. bad" mindset bc im specifically noting things that i Liked (i do obviously have a bit of chatter like "hmm i think i couldve drawn this better, i should keep that in mind" but its only when its helping myself. the jora does not talk bad about its art)

aaand then i do some cool-downs to get any last little doodles outta my head so i can relax in bed

in terms of tips? do stretches, walk around, TAKE BREAKS! draw at your own pace, and also Have Fun With It. experiment with different colours, limited palettes, different styles!

seriously though do make sure you take breaks and stretch im lookin you in the eye okay?

I HOPE THIS MADE SENSE AND IS HELPFUL IN A WAY i ramble. far too much. and im not the best at articulating my thoughts!! but i hope u have lots of fun drawing very cool stuff <333

#asks #very long ramble my baddddd i love yapping #also i am Entirely self taught so i might do things in a weird way #but to me its important to have fun with drawing #i avoid burning out by experimenting with new stuff and swapping my art program btw i think thats a nice lil thing to tack on #jora art explaining

When the youngest sibling becomes the oldest :)

Q&A (as asked by my sister and me to myself)

Q: Why is Time wearing his kokiri clothes while everyone else is just in smaller versions of their regular outfits?

A: Time came prepared for a situation exactly like this. shrunken or not child him is not wearing that armor (i didnt want to draw it)

Q: Why is Wind lecturing Legend?

A: He tried to grab a fire rod

Q: Why are they all children except for Wind?

A: I thought it would be funny. Maybe a wizzrobe did it. Maybe blue stalfos from oracle of ages showed up. Maybe there was an incident with Purah's de-aging rune. Who knows I'm just the artist here

#linked universe #lu fanart #lu sky #lu wild #lu hyrule #lu wind #lu twilight #lu legend #lu time #lu warriors #lu four #lu chain #soo many characters to tag..#my art #almost forgot that. that tags important.#anyways tags done now i can talk. this is one of the most ambitious things i have drawn in a while #had a lot of fun drawing this! children are fun to draw. they r all very silly.#fun fact i sketched this out on new years i think. around then. middle of the night. very vague sketch its very funny to look at #i havent worked with this much color in forever...ive been doing pen sketches for so long #and then mostly monochromatic pencil for months for school before that...its so hard color is so hard.#anyways i like sky in the background. baby four is my favorite part though and is has been through this whole thing #i do also like baby twilight. speaking of which if the wip i posted ends up with more notes than this i am going to be upset.#anyways up also . shout out to winds hand the one thats up it took me one million years. but it looks good #directors note warriors was supposed to have a hand visible in a fist but i gave up on that. baby hands are easy though its just blobs #in the vague shape of a hand.#id in alt text #if anythings wrong with the designs um i only looked at reference a little.

I know a normal amount abt waistcoats

#fantasy high junior year #riz gukgak #heard americans call those vests. deranged. thats not what that is #riz gukgak is a character made to target me specifically bc I am aroace and I love drawing formal menswear more than god #tho Ive been giving riz hard sole shoes which. wouldnt be good for stealth #I wear those I know. you can hear that shit through a meter of concrete #probably less important in a setting with real actual magic so its fine. but its something I do think abt #this kid is so fun to draw... its a Problem for me. I have to force myself to do my goddamn job knowing I could be drawing him instead #its a curse. I have to treat myself at the end of the day. sucks to be here so much

Wei Wuxian eats a watermelon. Yep!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #nothing out of the ordinary here. Just good fandom fun #Watermelon discourse has been going on and I want to let people know where I stand.#This came about because I wanted to experiment with translating the (traditional) PD-MDZS style to a digital format #and while sitting there thinking of what to draw...my inspiration came to me.#This is the equivalent of sneaking vegetables into the spaghetti sauce but its important to get your gotdamn veggies #I'm not very good at organizing my thoughts (evidence: the tags of every post on this blog).#but please do not look away from this moment in history. One person cannot solve it and no one expects you to.#Even if it is just spending time doing some research on the situation and history. Or boosting posts that are more articulate #Any action helps! ANY action! Everyone has a different level of capacity for this and that's okay. Anything is fine. Dont let it be nothing #Anyhow. did I like doing this digitally? Yes but its mixed. It was faster but also spark the same joy I usually get while drawing #I will have to get over it very quickly though. You will all see why in a few days

at the very least heres this. go my suitloon qpr

#drawing my kitty cat designs is really fun. i get to flex my character design muscles AND be self indulgent #this one goes out to 9 year old me who couldnt draw anything but cats and really wanted to draw suitloon a lot ‼️#that reminds me i need to try to get back into my scratch account. ik i had some ii art on there i need to share it with the world #that second one is my favorite. its been a while since i drew a beast making the signature sadface #inanimate insanity #my art #ii suitcase #ii balloon #ii suitloon #suitloon #like i said theyre qpr to me! theyre just so important to each other and both trust each other more than anyone else #but i dont see the romantic aspect i used to apply when i was younger anymore- this feels a lot more fitting if i had to like. define them #im soooo insane over the poem balloon wrote for suitcase. two ideas for it #1.) he wrote it pre-ii2 finale with suitcase in mind since she's probably a really good source of inspiration for him #2.) he wrote it post-ii2 finale in celebration of her win....#sorry for all these tags. can you tell suitcase and balloon have meant a lot to me since i was young

"I had to know if I imagined things. And then I found your arrest records, you were just a kid…but the picture matched."

"Who...whose records did you find?"

Wanted to fill out a more detailed stat template and got carried away. The discord had a fun mugshot drawing prompt and it inspired me

#this took FOREVER and im totally procrastinating important shit to work on it but i had fun so its fine its totally fine #this was really fun #sorry corey for putting you through the torment nexus every time im stressed #another comparison of rebirth vs retri stats #this quote has been haunting me since I saw the mugshot drawing prompt #cuz COREY has never been arrested #theyre too paranoid and cautious for that #but they DO have a mugshot canonically #they dont look young enough in the photo imo but sidestep is supposed to look older than they really are so whatever #it was fun making these stat sheets look like some kind of weird file type the farm would use #corey would probably never have the guts to actually try to hack the farm and its probably impossible. but #whats the fun in having a tech step if you dont let them show off every now and then #plus it made for a neat retri stat sheet concept #corey rook #fallen hero #my art #oc lore #sidestep #fallen hero rebirth #fallen hero retribution #cw blood

shep I was talking to my brother about dbhc xisuma as one does and mentioned that ask about not being able to puzzle xisuma's face together mentally and my brother joked that the reason you put the spoiler bars and such on his face is cause you cant draw his whole face yet 😂

anyway I might have talked his ear off about dbhc idk tho lmao

LMAOO NOOOO!!! MY SECRET FINALLY IS OUT!!! /silly

#HEHE thats rly fun though i hope your brother is enjoying the osmosis XD #truthfully... drawing xisuma's face is still really difficult for me... bc he's always like. the character whose personality and character #like. comes from the fact that we never see his face? and so there's something about him that feels more... right when his face is just.#a mystery #but i DO have a facecanon for him. esp for dbhc bc its important. even if when i think Xisuma i don't think of his face the way i might whe #I think of other characters. that isn't the reason why I spoiler it though XD when we get the face reveal it'll be obvious enough. i hope #LMAO.#anyway #idk like #some of the first sketches i did of Xisuma's face will still be my favorites tbh #it's hard to capture the same energy of a rough sketch when you try to sharpen those soft edges into a clean picture yknow?#i HAVE gotten better at it though.... square-ish face but soft on the edges... kind blue eyes... hair always tied back tightly and neatly #idk. i think about him a LOT #especially lately but we knew this hehehe #i think he deserves to take the helmet off every once and a while and just. breathe and get out of his own head yknow #i think he gets better at it in s9 even if he only takes it off around people he really trusts (keralis and cleo)#not that doc hasnt seen him or that he distrusts doc but... well. that whole relationship is a work in progress since season 8 was. well #anyway im really and truly rambling <3 #xisumas face is both an enigma to me and a soft sturdy shape in my brain... its hard to replicate consistently but those doodles are #just for me anyway =w= <3 #(and a few select others. who Know. you know who you are)

wasn’t able to doodle as much as I'd like to lately from projects (and totally bc I didn’t get absorbed into a rarepair which i may or may not post later) but here’s my take on a hypothetical ancestor for lance on his appreciation week! a grandpa who has a lot of gyarados theming around him 🐉🌊

#kagoodles #ChampionLanceWeek2023 #champion lance #lance pokemon #a bit of clair (blue hair + ponytail) a bit of lance (the spikes + the eye color and gsc shoulder pad things) its their peepaw!!!#honestly. stumped on a name for hypothetical peepaw #my first thought was Sloe based on the blackthorn berry (and it’s gin is even a red color) but I’m still workshopping it #also kudos to the hc of lance being the shiny gyarados of the family that’s just canon to me now #peepaw got a prosthetic hand bc training ain’t easy but kindness is not without effort #but he’s chill and gets along with a lot of village kids #he's a guy who would have a bunch of stories to tell people and draws a lot of crowds for it #in a game setting he'd be like. funny mentor who's also one of the big late game opponents to overcome as a test of strength #otherwise he'd probably give the player a funny item of importance or just something out of the blue like a rare candy or a star piece #“you like candy kiddo? so do pokemon! why not spread the fun around? :D”

I hated you (I loved you too)

Funnily enough been thinking about tenken again. Homoerotic friendships will be the downfall for us all I fear !!

#tenken soo funny to me imagine being obssessed w this girl and she does not give a fuck #idk guys !! theyre funny to me especially bc i literally just do not know their lore. clocked out too early but theyre still funky to me #important tengen thing is that she always has to look like theres nothing going on in their head #important kenjaku thing is that they always have to look either extremely bored or smug or smitten. silliness trapped </3 #the quality is lowk ass but whateverrrr i had sm fun drawing this #was listening to wuthering heights a while back and went hm! what if. yeah :D #i think kenjaku would go omg hi🥰🥰 and get ignored and then immediately become obsessed forever lol #i think tengen does care but also she doesnt. its complicated. i dont even know them tbh but she regularly sacrifices girls so like.#okay queen of idgaf. although nobara is more one tbh tengen yaps abt the greater good or smthing. nobara truly does not gaf.#kenjaku goes yea this is all tengens fault the homoerotic friendship got too much meanwhile tengen has zero idea wtf theyre talking abt #also i love drawing them tbh!! designs so funky i like when i can just make up shit. fuck jjk canon tbh what even is going on lmao #maybe i need to read more of their lore cuz this probably isnt accurate at all but like whateverr 👍#jjk #jujutsu kaisen #tenken #tengen #tengen jjk #kenjaku #kenjaku jjk #id in alt text #storms art #stormy in here

Another OC gift because it's another buddy's bday! And I like to draw gift art. And birthdays are such valid reasons to pester people to let me draw their children.

#gift art #fun fact i forgot it was her birthday until i scrolled around trying to figure out who to draw #and was like lemme look up fictional birthdays i guess #and then i saw it was gunter of the fates fame's birthday and i stopped in my tracks because i remember having #a very important birthday discussion about someone having the same birthday as him and so im like hold on whomst was it #and i looked in my discord messages and looked at peoples bios and notes ive taken #cause i like to use the notes to add a bday and then i was like whomst would i even talk to about fe bdays #and i found who it was and so i wished her a happy bday and said tell me who to draw show me a child of yours #and she did and said its ok if she wasnt who id want to draw #and im like meg my dear she has freckles and has purple hair and is super cute why would i not #and then we both info dumped about ocs while i drew this one and it was fun #i love ocs so much you guys i dont know if that comes across at all i love seeing ocs and hearing about ocs #and i love talking about ocs even if im shy about posting mine a lot of the time bc its probably cringe #but man i love ocs ..................... crying............. i love being able to draw others ocs.........
