Hi, Cioccolatodorima, I love your Planetary Moe comics! I want to ask, what does Saturn like to draw?

Saturn loves to draw things he thinks are beautiful but it may more or less deviate from the usual concept of ‘beauty’ for others. He just unlocked the secret beauty of everything.

Here’s an example (Source:from a 2012 comic strip):

Dear Lunch: Your Hataraku Saibou drawings are adorable! I think you are a very amazing artist, and your art skills are so wonderful! I like the pictures you drew of White x Red and the AUs. I have a question: what software do you use to draw? Also, I am an artist who's a very beginner. Do you have any tips on how to draw better?

OH askjhfkasf/////// THANK YOU SO MUCH /bows;; I’m glad that you enjoy my arts aaa;

As for software, I used to use SAI but migrated to Clip Studio Paint; there really isn’t much of a difference in terms of drawing between the two programs, just that CSP offers a lot more options.

I think it’s more of the art skill than tools, though tools definitely help.

Pros of CSP: there are downloadable materials available; the knife was free, the hat I downloaded a 3d model for 10USD (and i dont even use it half the time bc im lazy aksjhkf)

lotsa lotsa different brushes… nice… 

Also for a beginning artist; reference pictures constantly! be it photography or even other artists’ pictures (just don’t pose them publicly since it’s for practice.) It’s all about figuring out how you want to draw and then going for it.

For example, if I see an artist with a style I really like, I’ll study it and try to recreate the same style. I’m not attempting to copy it so that it looks like a perfect copy, but just enough so that I’ve figured out their techniques? (Sorry it’s really vague.)

tldr: reference reference reference. 

In my harddrive i have folders with lots of artists and their artwork sorted in there, periodically I’d study them and try to incorporate what ive learned. Something like a collage of art styles.

Lotsa people, when they start drawing, worry about creating a distinctive style, but I say, to heck with that mentality!!! I like being able to draw anything I want, however I want, in whatever style I want. Some days I wanna draw cute floffy shit, other days I wanna get gritty and serious; don’t limit yourself by thinking you have to be consistent. 

Let your art grow, try different things!!! Subconsciously, you’ll fall back on comfort zones on how to draw this or that, and that’s what defines your style. Honestly, I have no idea if I have a distinctive style or not, but I’ll let people be the one to say that. /shrugs shrugs. I’ll just continue drawing what I want. 

The rules of thumbs (??) I follow when drawing:

1. use references!!!!!! ( i should use the hat 3d model more for a more anatomically correct hat…)

2. Draw something different all the time. You can draw busts/headshots but if you don’t stretch, you won’t be flexible.

*this is more of a personal challenge since I rather focus on drawing content (story telling, hc, evoking audience feelings) than technicality (perspective, composition, colors.)

This isn’t to shame any artist who only default to drawing headshots/busts. There are artists out there who like to draw those things, and that’s ok! !! ! !! (I just observe the fact that after looking at their entire gallery, their weak point is waist-down anatomy. It’s like skipping leg day when ur working out I guess…) 

hope this helps (:3;;;;;;;;; I’m not the best person to ask cus I use really unconventional methods and I got here after drawing for a gabillion years; so ~ /wiggles hands

That’s nice.

To Dendritic Cell: What is your favorite part of helping young cells? What philosophical lessons have you learned/or have taught them?

I admit that I end up telling them the same things I say to the old generation. But the most important is showing them that everyone started with difficultty!

I don’t like that Killer T goes around acting like he wasn’t a crybaby himself. Huhu, how hypocritical of him. ^^
