#but to me its important to have fun with drawing

[eemamminy-art]

I know I'm always complaining about this so just feel free to keep scrolling if you want, but it gets on my nerves so much how people use the tags on art to just say the first thing that comes to mind even if it has nothing to do with the art

Whether it's like "I know this game sucks and has its issues but the characters are so great" Wow, it's almost like I enjoy the game if I drew fanart of it?? But sure. It sucks. Nice art though. Or "I'm so glad X is dead but he was such an interesting character" again, I'm drawing him because I like him. You're happy he's dead and I haven't enjoyed the game as much since he died, cool, thanks for reminding me.

There's also a fun one where people will shit on one half of a ship. "This is cute but he's MINE" is one I've gotten a lot of times over the years, or there's two ships that I like where without fail when I draw them people will talk about wishing harm on one partner. Can't draw cute Leveilleur family art without at least a handful of comments wishing death on Fourchenault or talking about wanting to cuck him or whatever.

There was another time where someone recreated my art exactly in a gpose but replaced one character so that it was their wolship instead. I know there's going to be some degree of projection when people look at art sometimes but it's so disheartening. Tell me why I got more comments on my Jullus/Zenos art of people wishing it was them or their wol instead of Jullus, than comments about the ship or the art itself. Or why I get comments like "I should write this" or "it's just like a scene in my fic" beneath art that is.. quite literally scenes from my fic. There's a few people I can without fail count on making it about their own ship in the replies. On posts where I've shared my headcanons along with art, people have just ignored the art and started talking about their own headcanons. It's tiring.

And like I know that no one is gonna look at an art I drew and magically know all the context or all the thoughts in my head that went into it. I'm not expecting that! It just sucks that people don't think first when they put down tags and just want to complain or talk about something unrelated, or make it about their own ships or whatever else.

The last thing I want to do is discourage people from reblogging, because it's disheartening enough when I can regularly have posts where the note count is like 200+ notes and then I check what those notes are and the reblogs are in single digits. I don't want to scare people away from reblogging. It's so important. Just, please try to keep it on topic oh my god.

If my art reminds you of your own thing, maybe make your own post. Even send me an ask with it?? Idk, like "hey I really liked your hc for X in your art of him, I have Y and Z hcs for him, what do you think?" or "I really like seeing your oc/canon art, I also ship with the same character and here's a little about the dynamic I've made for them" THOSE WOULD BE SO AWESOME TO RECEIVE, I'M SO SERIOUS!! But having it appear under my art in tags, usually with nothing to say about what I've made, doesn't feel good. Like at all.

And bleh just yeah. I woke up to another comment like this, specifically someone being like "I should write more about my oc with this character" underneath an illustration of a scene that's literally from my fic, with no commentary about the art itself, and it just. Really disheartened me because I've been getting this so much lately.

God damn thats really creative!! Sorry for the lack of better words but I really do think your abstraction design is so cool as hell!! Id love to see more drawings of them.

Is there a reason why it fractal in certain places? Like, is Pawlifer's spine being the center point represent something about him? Or is it just completely random? Im curious to know how abstractions work in your story.

Also, if you are so interested to see more abstraction designs...

Its a lot like how canon abstractions look.

(Sorry for low quality drawings. Had to doodle the two on the right quickly due to not having time. Hooray final exam week.)

I thought abstractions worked differently back then. I believed that abstractions were representations of the individual's worst aspect of themself. Hence why I made Buddie being a 'beast'. Its a reflection of how he behaved in the Circus. In my prequel story I write Buddie being an angry, narcissistic, and jugemental man who hides his dark triads behind a "gentlemen" persona. But he lets his anger get the best of him most of the time. His abstraction form is named "Disordered Shouting" because angry distorted voices follow around him. He is trying to speak but all that comes out is nonsense. This reflects how he would scream and yell at people who pissed him off, which happened A LOT.

Buddie's abstraction design isint final. These are the only drawings I have of the fella. There is a lot more improvements to be made in his design.

Buuuuuut then I learned that canonicaly all abstractions in the show look the same due to it being about "loss of identity and individuality".

Its interesting. But it REALLY bummed me out (I was particularly attached to my Daisy's abstracted form. I drew her quite a few times). In my Prequel story, how they all abstracted is one of THE most important elements in my writing (very awkwardly worded, sorry). so I scraped all my designs.... They are still fun to think about though.

Sorry for all the awkward wording. Im really burnt out from exam week lol.

Maybe I SHOULD start sharing my interpretations of the abstracted TADC members more. I really wanna see what other people think they were like.

I have not seen ANYONE draw them (as individuals, that is. I have seen rare appearances as background characters). Maybe I am just not looking hard enough. But Im pretty sure no one has ever drawn this BLURRY image of a character as much as I have. Look how I draw her.

Pardon the awkward formatting of the images. I dont like it when they are massive.

Anyways Her name is Daisy and I love her very much. She is my sad sock puppet girl. Im curious to see if anyone else draws her like a sock. Im not even sure what Daisy is supposed to be.

BTW do these characters have tumblr tags??? Because I have no idea what the fandom calls them.

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

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

"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

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 😂

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 🐉🌊
