Hi!

I have had a block for both writing and drawing for several years. I look at your works with longing in my eyes and think how wonderful it would be to draw regularly again. I was never particularly talented and had many gaps in learning to draw, but I enjoyed it. Now I don't know how to start drawing or writing. My laptop is full of unfinished stories. I have lots of ideas for drawings, but it's hard for me to get down to work.

Therefore, my question is: Do you have any advice for people who haven't drawn/written for several years and would really like to get back to it, but can't motivate themselves, have no ideas, etc.? Or quite the opposite. They have lots of ideas, but for some reason they can't draw anything?

Greetings and have a nice morning/day/evening/night!

Hello! Sorry it took so long to respond, I wanted to make sure I could respond properly to this so I thought it over a lot, I’m going to put it under a read more cuz it’s gonna get long lol

I (sly) am kinda in the same position as you at least when it comes more to art, writing ive kinda cracked the block but still trying to break through the ice, all the art on our blog is Ferals art, I only complete the line work and shading (but not always) I haven’t drawn any of my own stuff in probably a few years but I’m trying to get back into it cuz I miss it as well, I completely get the whole feeling of looking at Feral’s art and wanting to create my own but finding it so difficult to do

For the art aspect my plan is to start at square 1, start how I first starting drawing, which for me was to look up refs, animals and draw them by sight, just to get back into the groove of trying to bring back that muscle memory, maybe you started by tracing images, you could trace only the rough outlines and then shade and detail them, just something simply and easy, you probably won’t be happy with the results (I know I certainly won’t be with my own) but it’s a start

Look up things that you enjoy, draw your squad, incorrect quotes to do with ocs maybe even draw them out, try and keep it simple, you don’t need to create a masterpiece on the first day back, any attempt is a step forward even if you dislike it, try it out at least once a day everyday, a simple doodle just for fun or to exercise your muscle memory again, the first part is gonna be hard and messy, that’s totally ok! All that matters is the attempt!

For the writing aspect try and keep it simple as well, focus on making short one-shots or even just bullet point dialogues, your old unfinished writing isn’t going anywhere, when you feel comfortable enough to attempt to continue it just go for it!

I had a big gap in my writing periods and sometimes I still go a few months with out touching any of my stories, blocks happen and are normal, something that I try to get back into is read other people’s work, both to see the writing style and to get some inspiration to continue my own works

When I actually get down to actually writing my story I just dump down the story as I think it, I just keep writing even if it looks messy and grammatically incorrect to at least get the story moving and progressing. After I have the rough story down, is when I go back to correct spelling mistakes, add more details/dialogues or events in between to create a much better flow for the story

I usually do this multiple times for each fic I create, usually in between pauses (either due to blanking on ideas or just cuz I wasn’t feeling it) so whenever I reopen my doc, I just reread and add on, then I do it again one or two more times once it’s completed

I struggle a lot with perfectionism when it comes to my art and writing, and unfortunately it’s a big killer for my motivation, especially when I see others that make better works than me. I’ve been slowly unlearning that urge to make everything perfect, by just allowing myself to have messy and rough works, it’s not always going to come out how I want it but at least I got it as close as I could in the moment with my current skill level

I like to tell myself, the more I keep doing it, the more I’ll improve, and I’ll always be able to come back with more ideas and skill to remake this better than my first attempts, just because I did it doesn’t mean I can’t try to do it again

Being easier on yourself does wonders (I know easier said than done unfortunately 😭) but your practically having to relearn skills that have gotten rusty, even if you were doing great before, your gonna have to build back up to that point, it’s just like exercising a muscle ✨

I hope this was able to help! I wish you much luck in your journey back into art and writing!

[sugarpasteltmnt]

First of all, AMAZING UPDATE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IM CRYING. ;0; keep doing waht you're doing cuz your doing it great, I'll jsut be over here sobbing :,). I loved the Raph POV, it felt so believable, plus you set up the "treasure hunt" really well while ALSO stabbing everyone through the heart bcs leo the boy oh no the poor boy, I swear you've broken me how dare you/pos

Other than recognising *clearly* amazing work, I was just wondering if you are okay with art that is speculating about future chapters? Nothing major (mostly just low quality doodles and stuff like that), but I wanted to ask just in case :D

SO LATE TO THIS ONE SORRY!!! omg thank you so much ;w;!! That’s super reassuring to hear, as this latest chapter was a big struggle for me ;w; I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

KASJDASASJDHAS AND SURE!! I’d love to hear theories!!! 👀🩵💗🩷💖💕

[allyougottado]

HI Doodle! How have you been? I've been kinda meh bc of college but thats beside the point. About your reblog of sending you a character (or in this case, coach haha) I wanna see your list on either Maybel or Joshua or Lumen Brooks(I'm indecisive about those 3, they've been filling my mind lately aaaaaaa), even tho they dont have much lore, I love read others HC, so I'm eager to read yours^^(sorry if they wont fill all the list thingy:()

i’ll try to do all 3 cuz i rly like these coaches as well 😎 (i'm skipping fave line and song i associate them with because... ppl dont speak in just dance and i'm not creative enough to associate coaches with any song other than their own map LOL)

maybel‼️‼️

fave thing about them: her design is so cute!!!! i love yellow and her dress looks inspired by poodle skirts with the little line (phone cord?) spiraling down the skirt lol it’s so adorable. i especially love the alt. design cuz purple sleeveless jacket is CUTESY (also she looks like she’s matching with joshua with the sleeveless jacket hehe 🤭 very CUTE💯💯💯)

least fave thing about them: nothing to hate abt her 😍

brOTP: love you like a love song (this headcanon was subconciously created by looking at ur art btw LOL)

OTP: JOSHUA‼️‼️‼️

nOTP: i’m ngl i have never seen any other ship with maybel in it LOL

random headcanon: she’s a softie but the one thing she’s loud abt is her #LOVE!!!! i probz got this from the straightforward and aggressively-lovey vibe from call me maybe (and the dance too), but also a description from the JD twitter lol (they describe her as the sweet one hehe)

unpopular opinion: idk i’ve never seen too much opinions that i disagree with abt her

fave picture of them: it’s scrapped but this is kick ass maybel from puppet master lmao

joshua😎

fave thing about them: the fake personality i made for him in my head 😼 and also his yellow glove probably

least fave thing about them: i'm gonna be really honest this part will probably be empty for almost everyone i’m not a person who hates easily 😭

brOTP: i always thought that #thatpower extreme and sorry looked similar to him (i think everyone else did too LOL) so YEAH they’re totally bros to me. i also group epsilon with those 3 but if i explain it will totally derail :P

OTP: maybel 💛🩷

nOTP: haven't seen anything too hateable yet lol

random headcanon: kuudere lolz. basically the exact same thing i said for maybel but instead of sweet and soft (🥺) he's like cold and serious on the outside but super hype and chill when he's dancing or talking to ppl he likes

also he’s probz the most normal compared to #thatpower extreme and sorry lol

unpopular opinion: once again, i haven't seen too much opinions i can disagree with lol

fave picture of them: this screenshot i took from youtube lmao

lumen brooks!!!!!🎸

fave thing about them: ur gonna be so shocked when you hear this but i love his yellow raincoat i want it for myself. also he has TEAL HAIR! TEN MILLION CHARACTER DESIGN POINTS TO YOU UBISOFT (blue hair=looks like miku=good)

also i like rock so his map is so cool. i like how they went with a quirky weird rock map instead of a depressing dark one like the two they added in 2023 like yeahhhhh lets switch it up a little (no hate tho i fucking love evanescence BTW)

least fave thing about them: WOAH it’s a bit too soon to hate lolz

brOTP: probz p1 and p3, zephyr reef and crimson riff. i know they’re most likely not even real but i’d like to think he treats them as if they were his bros. also it would be rlly funny if he just has crazy flow powers and can make stuff he draws real harold and the purple crayon style

OTP: nothing rn

nOTP: also nothing rn… that game needs to come out so i have more brainpower to think of cool stuff to say 😾

random headcanon: when u think punk he doesn’t really look like one compared to crimson riff but he probz acts like one lol. would probably hate ppl like night swan and nithe long. and probably kids in america too (she’s falling for the propaganda… 😔 lol) also he’s loud. idk why i think that it just fits to me lol. also everyone probably thinks he’s #CRAYZAY 🤪 but don’t worry bro. i understand you 🤝

unpopular opinion: idk at first i thought he would be chill with scotty but i somehow changed my mind like scotty’s too much of a sweetie pie and lumen is too feisty (to me hehe) i still like fanworks with both of them in it tho they’re funny. like clashing personality stuff is still very entertaining to me

fave picture of them: idk he’s only existed for a couple of months so there’s not much pics of him… probz the little cartoony promo art from twitter cuz i like how huge they drew his rainboots here LOL

(also hiii mey i’m meh as well LOL when i typed the first half of this post i was out at the mall and i feel like i embarrassed myself so hard there 😭 embarrassment still lingers and it sucks cuz i love the mall but whatever… I’M SENDING MY ENERGY TO YOU SO COLLEGE CAN GET A LITTLE LESS SUCKY 🫶💓)

[beemers-hell]

**not me absolutely trying to avoid using Emoji’s but having the need to so I look silly and whimsical and not dramatic and like a frightened Victorian child😞**

ANYWAY….💀I’m new to sending a random thingy and I just wanted to send this anyway cuz I’m a little peanut brain and can’t decide on what I’m doing but besides that— 👹👹👹I REALLY LOVE YOUR ART STYLE SO MUCH ITS TOTALLY INSPIRING AND I THINK I SORTA GAINED A KIND OF LIKE “😦Oh Wowwie this person is so unique how do they post their art without being scared?” ((I posted like three things but I’m over here too goofy to go off from the Anonymous text thing but I really should cuz— 🧍🏽‍♀️……I’m rambling- 👹👹👹👹TO GET TO THE POINT I WILL LITERALLY EAT YOUR ART AND THROW A MILLION HEARTS ALL OVER YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS RAAHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM AAAAAAAA❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️—-

(Also random thing but like- how do artist genuinely post stuff and just— get it noticed?—😞 sorry I absolutely suck at this since I rarely ask people things on here since I wanna post my own silly art and characters but I get all “😦…OH! PEOPLE CAN SEE MY THINGS—“..but at the same time wanting people to see my artwork?— YEAH ITS CONFUSING AND MY BRAIN IS SO FRIED TRYING TO DRAW MY FAVORITE MADNESS COMBAT CHARACTER…..))

😞sorry that I just wrote a bunch of vomit from my brain I just don’t know how to send things without rambling like a deranged creature—

I CANT TELL YOU ALL THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING SO KIND TO ME ITS NOT FAIR RAUAGAHAGUGSIGJSH

As for how you get noticed, straight up you just gotta get lucky. If you're like me where you're scared of talking to people and interacting with others, you're just gonna have to leave it up to luck whether people notice you or not lmao. That's what happened to me! I just posted my stupid doodles to the madness tags and didn't do much else and I ended up getting lucky in that a lot of people noticed me and a lot of people liked my shit.

Or you can just interact with a lot of people and you'll get your name out there that way! I'm too chicken shit to do that so I don't know how well that works personally lmao

Straight up, you just gotta conquer your nervousness over posting art. I was terrified of sharing my oc x canon stuff with Eb and Tricky publically but hey lo and behold people were really nice and encouraging about it. And now I'm not AS afraid to share stuff thats personal to me! Really its all about not letting your anxiety stop you from doing what you like. I had to learn how to overcome that and you will too!

Also, to all my fellow "is anxious about sharing my personal stuff that I think others will think is cringe type of content publically, esp in the Madness fandom": No one else opinion matters because Krinks has your back dawg. My proof is this lol

[cactuseri]

saw this and wanted to make my own post real quick bc i’ve gotten some questions abt my art before & now that i feel a bit more secure in my style i thought i’d give a few tips to anyone who wanted that :)

first i have to address how the submission is phrased: i'm sorry & i know no one wants to hear this but “keep practicing” is not a platitude that is always going to be the best advice 😭 the real question is:

how do you make practice fun?

1. challenge yourself in a way you find enjoyable/fulfilling :)

i liked doing things like art prompts from inktobers, and to draw comics of the stories i wrote, but mostly the answer for me was “set random number goal, meet random number goal, inject the validation from completed goal directly into my bloodstream, repeat.”

i worked on things kind of systematically, which just made my brain happy; i spent one summer when i was 14 doing nothing but drawing 10 full bodies a day, all with references of course. did the same throughout the fall with hands, then eyes, then expressions, then clothes, etc etc. it always had to be 10 diff angles and positions.

i did a repeat of this 10-drawings-of-10-angles rule throughout quarantine in 2020. failed all my online classes cuz i was drawing 6-10 hours every day and ignoring my homework but still passed the year in the end 💀 i got the idea from yumeii-art; it's been over 7 years since, so idk if i remember right, but she had given a similar rule of thumb as a response to someone's question about drawing without a reference, i think.

is this the Best path? probably not, idk. and it definitely lead to awkward phases where i was much better at drawing bodies than faces, for example — but it worked for me. i liked breaking things down like that, it felt more manageable.

the other number goal was. in 9th grade i saw this post:

and i was like. y’know what? yeah. i keep feeling bad abt my art, how about i put that feeling on pause until after i’ve filled 14 sketch book. i hope this user knows i owe all my achievements to the phrase “fill 14 sketch book” powering me through years of depression and art block.

so i did fill 14 sketch book!

i met that goal between ages 14 and 19. obv this doesnt include the doodles on my homework, on other random surfaces, or the ~150 digital artworks i’d done in that time, so maybe it was more like 16 sketch book? but that doesnt matter, i had 14 labeled & organized sketchbooks that were full, and i did feel better about my art by then. this was my anime training montage. this was 90% of my improvement. this was the best art advice i’d ever gotten.

so i guess what made art the most fun to me was numbers? which sounds lame but i guess since i’m competitive & love competing against myself the most, it just worked for me.

comparisons, with 2016 on the left and 2020 on the right:

(the new sketches are still rough and lack some detail ofc but i have terrible ADHD and always found it hard to sit down and keep working on a sketch once it was “done enough” — for some reason i dont rlly have the same impatience with digital art & have less of a problem completing pieces on my ipad now) (the point is. 14 sketch book level complete. 1000% worth it)

then my 2021-2024 improvement, when i had bought my own ipad and again spent most days drawing instead of doing my schoolwork (i.. did end up failing that first year of uni):

2. try out different mediums aimlessly!

what i mean is just go ham with some charcoal or whatever you have on hand, without the determination to Make It Good. i can’t say if this helped my actual art get better but what it did do was keep the joy of it alive & i had fun which lead to more practice & therefore improvement. color pencils weirdly were my favorite. hell, my school had us do a project with linoleum printing (is that how u spell it idk) and it gave me months’ worth of art inspo.

i also recently got a gift card for a stationery store and got some nice markers and those also gave me a ton of motivation. markers r good

3. if u do digital art, find ur fave brush; it will be ur familiar ur trusted companion ur lover in a past life

for lineart i mostly use the IGB office pack, favorite ballpoint. you’ll have to buy & download it online tho i think it was like $7? but yea it was worth it. (i did a lot of work with the gesinski ink brush in past years but i think it’s a bit too “sharp” now)

but also go crazy try them all it’s fun!

4. in my opinion it’s fine to do redraws of ur fave artist’s work now and then — as long as u keep it to urself and dont take credit for it

i’ve had ppl ask to use my art as a ref and my answer is always Not Sure Why You’d Want To Bc It’s Not All That, But Yes Of Course. as u can see most of my 2021 work was redrawing panels of the “gangsta.” manga; it didn’t even end up influencing my style much, my style was already based on all the manga shit i drew at 13, but it was the only thing i was motivated enough to draw at the time, and it was valuable practice.

art teachers still stress that the best reference is to draw from life & yeah thats true maybe but idc sometimes ur just not feeling that! so mix it up, whatever works. obviously respect it if an artist says not to reference their work and don’t only reference ur art from one artist but generally i think it’s harmless.

especially when there’s a specific thing an artist does very well that’s hard to find other examples of; personally i was fighting for my life trying to find how to best translate references of dynamic movement into art of dynamic movement. and i think the bnha mangaka does this wonderfully so i often referenced thise action panels as practice. and i think it helped loosen up my art style. (and… i was extremely ridiculously mentally ill about hawks so that…. contributed…. my fave ask to date is still the person who clocked hawks as my old fave character based purely on how i draw eyes 😭😭)

tracing is a diff conversation and my advice there is it is not actually helpful and it's. idk it feels very Against Artist Code. sometimes, and i havent done it in a couple years, but if a piece REALLY isnt working i've done the thing where u trace the general movement of a pose then go from there but i've never posted completed works where i used that method bc it felt wrong. but yeah that's a separate thing that i don't wanna go too deep into

5. another fun thing that motivated me to practice was doing speedpaints!

if you draw on procreate, it's probably set up automatically already. i don't have the storage to record everything, but when i do have it on, the knowledge that i'll have a speedpaint of the finished piece pushes me to put the last necessary touches on it. (if you'd like to see some of my speedpaints i have a few on my instagram)

some more technical advice:

1. flip your canvas flip your canvas flip your goddamn canvas i KNOW it hurts i KNOW it’s like ripping off a bandaid that’s superglued to ur skin i know but YOU HAVE TO FLIP YOUR CANVAS

(when i didn’t have an ipad i’d do this by taking a picture of the drawing on my phone and flipping the image in the photo app)

IT IS THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD AND IM NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT I’VE RAGE QUIT SOME PIECES OVER SEEING THE CANVAS FLIPPED BUT LOOK AT THIS ART BEFORE AND AFTER I’D FLIPPED IT AND FIXED HOW WONKY IT WAS: desaturated so tht the colors dont distract so much

like it's the BEST and honestly often the ONLY way you're going to catch things that were off/out of proportion/etc. flipping your canvas gives your brain a "new eye" and it's invaluable.

2. until you have color theory figured out…. i honestly depend on adding layers and setting them to color dodge, divide, multiply, overlay, etc…. i am cheating, perhaps, but it works

3. this is how i draw front-facing noses because it's what a czech woman in an extremely bad mood taught me in a cramped overheated stuffy classroom in germany when i was 12

it was our only meeting but she changed my life. i do not know how common this method is but it's possibly the only thing i can concretely give you a tutorial for. after a few times you won't need to do step 1 anymore

anddd i think that's all the advice i have that wouldn't be a repeat of every other art advice thing you've seen. i do know it boils down to "keep practicing" but again you won't get around that, and i just hope that concretely showing what's motivated me might help motivate someone else.

as an ending note, please take this sentence that motivated me just as much as the 14 sketch book rule: (via graveweaver, author of the webtoon "i'm the grim reaper")

Doctober 2023 Summary

Completed 24/31 prompts!

List of all the prompts I did for Doctober 2023 below

So happy to be done 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏

1. Sunrise: Tbh I don’t feel any which way about this one and I think it’s because I created it to be a companion piece to Sunset. So its like lowkey half-assed but also far from it. I’m very happy with how that turned out so that’s something…

2. Desert

3. Gun Fight😜🤧☠️: Ah, the first meme post. I felt shaky posting this. Cherry, I hope you know I did it for/because of you

27. Thunderstorm😈: Angst and Hell Valley are synonymous at this point. I really liked this one, especially how it transitions from colored to black and white

💛 Top 5

🔥 Funnest Prompt

🎃 Spookiest

⚡ Personal Fave

My goal for this prompt list challenge was to focus on quality over quantity. There’s a few half-assed art pieces that snuck in, but it could have been worse. By quality, I wanted clean line art, backgrounds, and if I have enough time, color!

What drove me to create art: Showing other people that are in this fandom (most notably ⚡@cheriboms). I’d love to interact with other mutuals on here. Shout outs: 💛@bttf-dork 💛@synthsays 💛@alex-a-fans. I feel like I’ve been doing that more towards the end of the challenge, but yall give me motivation! And sometimes, inspiration!

What I learned:

🤔 I can actually draw backgrounds if I actually try [wowowow who'da thunk] It’s much easier to draw a background from a reference rather than coming up with one on your own. So I need to keep that in mind whenever I feel discouraged.

🤔 I feel like my work is very dramatic. Like melodramatic fr. Or at least it can be... I blame watching those tv dramas with my mom when I was a kid. But then again, if you want to incite emotion out of an audience, you gotta know how to frame stuff and do all the fancy cinematography work. So you gotta be dramatic to an extent. I got really really bored with my ideas that weren’t telling a story(or rather a more interesting story…). And that effected my motivation.

🤔 Looking back at the list, I noticed that my top 5s are all either silly or wholesome and I’m glad and relieved about that. I said that I’m really dramatic and there’s quite a bit of angst in there, but ig I’m not THAT edgy (or maybe the prompts didn’t allow me to be🤔👀)

Things that I want to improve on: COLOR THEORY. Brush theory/line weight. I’ve been experimenting a tiny bit with this throughout the month, but I want to delve into it. Since I didn’t work on something for more than a day, I felt like I was throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.🤪I didn’t get to really study what colors work well and why and experiment with it.

A lot of the ones that I’m not very proud of could be chalked up to not having enough time to work on it/make it better, so that’s an interesting dilemma.

TL,DR; I talk too much. Gotta work faster smh git gud 🙄

Hello! My name is Moriah and I am a junior in high school. I was wondering if I might be able to get your insight on a few questions I have?

I am in my final years of high school and am starting to think about college but I have no idea what I want to pursue. I know I love art, so for a long time I have been thinking about getting an art major or going to an art school.

I’m reaching out because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ART and I think you are a very talented artist! I have been in love with your art for so long and I am curious and wondering how you are able to fit drawing into your life?

1.) If you are going to college for art, or went to college for art, what is it like? Do you think going to school for art or having an art major is worth it?

2.) how can I fit art into my everyday life? I’m sure you have work and other things to do in your life so how do you balance it out? (I just want to know how you can draw as much as you do!)

3.) do you do art as a hobby or a career? If it is a hobby how to you balance art, work/school, and home life? If it is a career or part-time career is it an alright source of income?

Thank you so much! And sorry if these questions might seem personal. I just want to know how other artist manage to draw and create their work and still have an adult life. Thanks again, and thank you for being a huge inspiration in my life to create the art I love! Your art means so much to me!❤️❤️ ❤️

i am going to CRY this is the sweetest message ever. i'm happy you found your niche and i'm even happier that i could help inspire that!!! i'm not sure if i'm gonna be able to answer all your questions, but i'll try to squeeze in some possibilities where i fall short:

1) growing up i definitely figured i was going to end up in art school because that's what everyone told me i should go into. but as i got older in high school i was kind of panicking cuz i really didn't want to turn my hobby into a job, and i figured out that i wanted to go into education!

but that's just me- my wife is actually going to college for graphic design sometime soon because she loves what she does. if it's something you really enjoy, and that you think you can monetize while still enjoying it, then it's definitely worth it! money is important but you need to put you and your happiness first.

2) to be honest, i haven't had the time or energy to do much art lately (if you look at my post dates you can see how spread out they've been the past year)- but this entirely depends on how you manage your time and your workload. i'm horrific at time management! so that's my problem. BUT, i think sneaking in drawing time in little ways helps a lot, as i tend to sketch small panels of a potential comic or animatic on notebooks and papers while i'm listening to lectures. i've even posted ms paint doodles i've drawn during class

i always have plans for what i'd like to draw once i have the time. it's kind of motivating, but also frustrating, and it's hard to efficiently empty my brain of ideas while still keeping up with everything else. this might be something you'll have to wiggle around once you get settled into a routine each semester!

3) i really wanted art to stay as a hobby for me. the idea of drawing and creating art every day for things i wasn't inspired to do made me really nervous, because what i really wanted was to make fanart and draw my little guys all day lol

if you take anything away from this, i think the most important thing is that if you want to keep art in your life, you will. if you desire having time to make art just for yourself, you'll find time to work that into your life, one way or another- but in order to do that you absolutely need to have a positive mindset about what you're going into, and if you can't find that positivity, maybe it isn't for you

thank you for asking!!! i'm not sure if this'll be any help, but i appreciate the questions <:')

Happy birthday! I will now attempt to lowkey bully you into being nicer to yourself 😠

I didn’t copy your exact quote but to another ask you said something like “I’m glad you like my art but sorry I haven’t done anything really in a while” excuse me???? You make amazing art and post it for free/a small fee on Beyoncé’s internet and have the gall, the audacity, to apologize for not doing it often enough?? You literally posted new stuff like two days ago (that comic) and something else three days ago (freckles Martin), I 1) didn’t even notice you hadn’t posted new art since the comic and 2) would absolutely not call 2-3 days “not doing anything in a while”, it simply wouldn’t occur to me. Tbh I probably wouldn’t call it that even if it were 2-3 months, people have lives outside the tumblrsphere and shit happens (I probably would notice if it had been that long, to be fair, but it’d be like ‘gee I hope that person is doing alright and has some other creative outlets they’ve been able to get to for themself cuz that’s good for mental health’ not ‘how dare they not entertain me’ or whatever). Would you be mad at da Vinci or Van Gogh for not making new art in a while? (I know that’s not the same thing since they’re 💀 but like, one could argue they’re just busy/uninspired, so…) We can still enjoy the art you’ve already posted, it’s still fantastic, and breaks just allow for more time to go back through the older stuff that maybe we haven’t seen in a while and so have forgotten about. So don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t apologize for idk, not being a machine?? You’re doing amazing and I love your art, old and new, whether new stuff comes out once a minute or once a decade.

I hope your birthday was good!

SORRYYYYYY its just that i got used to uploading a lil doodle everyday back when i was working on the zine :((( i cant rid myself of the grind mindset...

[antvnger]

Wow!! You’ve been busy! First of all, good for you on those good grades! I’m proud of you. That’s awesome!

Secondly, can I just say how much I love how those sketches look? Like they just look so pretty. You are totally skilled, and I love it! So awesome!

Thirdly, it looks like you’ve got some cool stuff for Christmas! That’s pretty neat! I’m glad for you!

Now hopefully you can relax and not be as rushed since school’s over for a while. You’ve earned it.

More Betty and Simon art! This time w a lot of golb Betty’s! And of course some petrigrofs w golb Betty… cuz in case u haven’t noticed this about me yet. That level of size difference is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING….. sO… of course I’m going to draw Betty holding simon in her hands and petting him and shit… of COURSE. Who do u think I am???

Also featuring the two other Betty chibis i said i’d post.. but. Not actually fully colored/finished cuz I realized. I fucking HATED how I colored the first two, like it was annoying. and not fun to do and I didn’t rlly love the end product, so.. I decided to save myself some suffering and just not bother w it with these two ghghgh- thank u for understanding!

[hellsvestibule]

A lot of artists will be like “excuse my shit doodles this took me 10 minutes” and it’s often something that would take me days or at least a shit ton of other less passable warmup doodles to draw which is annoying bc it often feels like they’re lying, and if not it’s often like, still being self depreciating about the amount of effort they put into the picture, or the amount of effort it took to gain the level of skill where decent sketches come that effortlessly to you, and you insult your art on the off chance someone is like wow! That’s shit to you?? You’re so talented! Meanwhile my doodles, while I admit they are expressive in an endearing way, are often honest to god shit, like, hands drawn backwards if at all, very wonky proportions, chicken scratch quality lines. And it still probably took me way longer to draw than it would take another artist of similar skill. But I can’t even bring myself to be like “sorry about my chicken shit sketches” bc like no! I will not apologize or be embarrassed that not all of my art is good, especially if it’s just for comedic purposes or the draft of something that will take literall weeks to finish. It doesn’t always have to be great, and I don’t have to apologize for putting ugly low effort things out into the world, You Will look at them and hopefully that will help you develop a further appreciation for how much effort it takes me to make things that don’t suck, cuz I’m not gonna pretend like good art comes effortlessly to me, all that does is discourage people who are trying really hard to achieve the quality they’re at and still don’t feel good enough. Don’t listen to artists like that for real. work at your own pace

Feel free to use anything I’ve made privately as a wallpaper

I don’t do comms anymore!!!

PLEASE CLICK ON READ MORE RE BRUSHES. IVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION MANY TIMES

Currently (re)playing: nier replicant ver 1.22/automata

Fandom and technical stuff below the cut (art process, AUs, fics, fan events):

Its completely ok to write a fic inspired by something I drew, I'd love to read it please send me a link to it ! All I'll ask is credit for the inspiration (same goes for art inspired by an AU)

Please DO NOT reuse my ideas/designs for ur own purposes, I’ve worked hard on them and I’m quite attached to them

For digital art I mostly use procreate. I USE THE CHISEL FROM HERE THE MOST. i use it in the 'painted' looking doodles, it has no texture. “What is that textured brush”: wedge tail in the vintage tab of Procreate, it’s a default brush. Check the spraypaint tab on procreate if u want a speckled/static brush. For landscapes I use many texture brushes some of which are default and some of which are free from gumroad but I can't remember which packs they are. U can find something similar by searching "flora" or "foliage" on gumroad.

If u are really interested in seeing my process please just look up the tag ‘process’ or 'video' on my account. If that still doesn’t answer ur questions u can send me an inbox message (please be specific with ur questions so i know how to answer, otherwise i'll have to ignore it cuz ive no idea how to answer. sorry!!!)

i do not tag my doodles as 'my art' cuz this account is an art archive. i rarely if ever reblog. if u want to mute asks they are tagged 'ask hedge'. self reposts are tagged 'boop'. look up the main fandom tag (eg. 'loz') and u will find the art related to it

Please dont ask me to join fan events/servers, I’m very happy being on my own away from fandom things

What gaymes do I play besides all the loz: sky: children of the light, splatoon 2-3, nier: replicant, nier: automata, nier: reincarnation, hades (+2), FFVII (remake and og), FFXII, crisis core, okami, acnh, acnl, Pokémon platinum, pokemon sun, mystery dungeon: red rescue team, journey, starfield, horizon: zero dawn, devil may cry 1-5, borderlands 1-2, super smash bros, Kirby and the forgotten land, a buncha other kirbies, rime, transistor, night in the woods, unravel 2, sable, sekiro, elden ring, shadow of the colossus, hauntii, metal gear solid 2/3/5, metal gear rising

Games I’d recommend: nier replicant/automata, Sekiro, sable, rime, hades, shadow of the colossus

Games I’d rec to a friend who I want to suffer: dmc (entire series), crisis core, nier replicant, metal gear rising, mgsv

(For archive reference) legend of Zelda AUs which I made: decoy AU, calamity AU (sometimes referred to as the ancient AU), sleeping tomb AU, reverse AU, and travelling spirit AU. U can find out about these AUs by looking up the tags with the titles as listed. Some of these have fics:

Decoy AU has a series on ao3 which u can find here.

Calamity AU has a ficlet collection of snippets from the ancient era period of that au which u can find here and there is a very general summary of the whole story which u can read here. U can read the story set in the botw era (the main plot) over here. The ancient era redesigns fall under the calamity AU and that’s where u can find out about them.

The Sleeping Tomb AU (also known as desert AU) does not have a fic and will not have one, its just a concept I'm playing with but u can find a summary of the story here.

The travelling spirit AU does not have a story and it’s mostly a vague concept. Feel free to ask me about the AUs I always love talking about them

Please don’t send me links via asks without any context. I’m too paranoid not to expect a jump scare, sensitive content, or something along those lines.

if ur message is very parasocial or otherwise makes me uncomfortable i will delete it and if u keep up the weird behaviour i will block u

HIII! I was wondering if I could get a JJBA part 5 matchup? I’m sorry for making it so long btw :((

I am a female who identifies as bisexual/biromantic, and my gender preference is always changing so don’t worry about that lol. I’m an INTP pisces.

As for my personality, I’m quite aloof and prefer to spend time indoors, however I don’t have a preference between an extrovert or introvert lover. My love language is words of affirmation and physical affection (need to be very close to them first or else it makes me a bit overwhelmed), and I don’t like gifts cuz I don’t feel worthy lmao🧍‍♀️. I’m also quiet but I love listening to other people speak and tell stories, I like to think that I’m a good listener.

I’m quite smart and LOVE subjects like physics, psychology, geology, and art. I hate school tho. I also love every type of music, from kpop to metal to rap/hiphop, and I am also a good dancer. I don’t like big parties with people I don’t know as it can cause me to have anxiety but I do like small get togethers with friends. OH YEAH and I also love baking!!

I struggle with anxiety/depression (+ probably an underlying mental illness 😀), so I need someone who will add structure to my life and comfort me….. but I also don’t mind someone who will get me outside doing fun things and allow me be spontaneous

As for my appearance, I have medium length dyed blue hair (I dye it a new colour every couple of years), I’m average height and am slim. My aesthetic switches between the usual fashion trends and super dark makeup/clothes, depending on who I’m around or where I am. I don’t like wearing my glasses even tho I can’t see shit. I also want to get a lot of tattoos so I spend a lot of time doodling ideas for them.

THANK YOU U ARE ALL SO TALENTED AND FUNNY IM SORRY FOR MAKING THIS SO LONG 💙💜

aa thank you're so sweet <3 hope you like your match up :D

your jojos match up is.....MISTA!!

- Mista is a talkative boy. He will talk your ear off about the stupidest thoughts going through his head. Six pistols will probably talk a lot with you too or they'll probably complain about one another while you silently watch.

- He is like a big affectionate dog who'll give you lots of love and affection. You wouldn't really have to return any of the hugs at first he doesn't mind if you take a while to warm up. It won't stop him from hugging you.

- You will always be invited to hang out with the Bucci gang and you'll get closer to them. Since you like dancing you'll be forced to dance with Mista & Narancia (:<

- You can forget about having a structured life. This man is C H A O T I C. Y'all will probably end up doing borderline illegal things that may spike your anxiety oops

- Since you don't like wearing glasses Mista can sit on your lap and put contact lenses into your eyes for you <3

yours blindly,

admin sar
