Play Outside Day

Okay, okay, so, my New Year's Resolution is to learn how to draw better backgrounds. I am really, really bad at backgrounds/ environments/ landscapes/ whatever you call them. But if I learn how to do them, I'll have a lot of really good knowledge and skills that I don't currently have.

The only problem is, I've never had fun drawing backgrounds. I know that a world can have as much complexity and interesting stuff as a character, and can be very important for stories, but it's just not fun for me. I didn't even try on the landscape up above because I just didn't want to do it. So, learning to have fun is the first step.

Huh, who would've guessed that references are useful? (This is based off a picture from a book.) I rarely use them in my art and that is a huge mistake. This piece is kind of funny because of how blurry it looks. It feels like my glasses are off even though they are on. It was just meant to be a monochromatic thumbnail, but I wanted color.

Foreground, middle ground, background... what are those? I feel like I'm a complete beginner again, and in some ways, I am. I just hope that I can improve and not become discouraged. I love drawing characters, but my characters deserve settings to explore, and I've been denying them that for too long.

Happy Play Outside Day (Feb 1st)! Also World Read Aloud Day, Take Your Child to the Library Day, Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, and the day Willy Wonka opened up his Chocolate Factory for the five kids with Golden Tickets.

#holidays #reasons to celebrate #new years resolutions #drawing backgrounds 2025 #my art #beryllineart #environment art #background art #it's really hard to convince myself that i can't (and shouldn't) be able to do it perfectly first try #wish me luck

waow 2024 is almost dead!!! gone too soon. feels like it’s been a big year for me art-wise for many reasons, BUT. i’m making 2025 bigger.... hopefully....i’ve made some art goals for next year which i won’t explain in detail but they boil down to 1) do more studies 2) tackle my weaknesses (backgrounds, dynamic poses/angles, uhhh lots of stuff i am a one trick pony right now) 3) get into drawing comics, all of which are in preparation for 4) take my story ideas more seriously and get started on one of the many graphic novels living in my head. i have one in mind i HAVE to complete in my lifetime or i will die, but firstly i’m gonna mess around with some little standalone svanhildr comics perhaps. goat fans rejoice.

anyway i wasn’t meant to ramble so i’ll just say THANK YOU for the support as always!!! i’m very flattered all of these have more than 1000 notes.....crazy. thank you. muah

#tumblrtop10 #my art #looking forward to 2025 i really really REALLY REALLY want to get stuck in with my story ideas.....#my main passion project i'm more and more leaning into not even sharing i cannot lie. it's very personally made for ME to love and enjoy #and i suck at a lot of what i'd need to draw for it (humans interior backgrounds and an art style that's at least a little gritty)#GOD it's been taking over my mind so much i want to gnaw on it but it's in my head #so maybe i'll just do a first draft for me and me alone and when i'm in my 30s and maybe better at those things i can draw it finally #actually one of the characters for that features here hiii mockley!!! coming in at number 2 most popular of 2024 i'm so proud of her #her design's come a long way i'm kind of super happy with her as always <3 i love you my repressed old woman dinosaur #ALSO i'm SOOOOO excited about a character i made recently i can't wait to share her with the world #she's been a LONG time coming....my goirl.....#i will hopefully show her off in the new year #ALSO no one will see this i'm sure but thank you to my commissioners for the patience #i have now finished my break and will continue drawing

New Years Eve Party

#hazbin hotel #huskerdust #husk #Angel dust #saw a show at Christmas where two people in the background where dancing and took a shot with their arms linked like this #so here I am #drinking in New Year’s Eve and drawing the gays doing it ahaha #it’s probably the closest thing Angel can get to husk dancing in a party infront if everyone ahaha bless #shoutout to my huskerdust discord for feedback and keeping me on track #if you’ll excuse me I’m going to continue drinking and partying with my family now #happy new year everyone #may 2025 treat us well #originally I wanted them to be looking at their drinks and it would be a Polaroid for angels door #but it was aweful and looks rather cold so it’s morphed into them looking at eachother and laughing so their drinks are dribbling down #I hope it looks fun it seems a bit static to me but I’m drunk I don’t care lmao

Beware this angel, he acts animalistic on purpose despite being as sentient as you or me, eats demon bones and smells like wet dog
