Free drawing lessons! (18+ discord server)

Hello! This server is for those who are looking for creative community, whether you are already an artist or someone who is looking to learn a new skill.

I'm here to tell you that if you can write the alphabet, you can learn to draw! So every week, I'll be offering a budget/beginner friendly art lessons to anyone who would like to sit in, follow along, or to engage (to individual comfort levels).

All you'll need is a pencil and some paper!

Though all are welcome, this will be a predominantly queer and POC centered space

Hi! *Drops this and runs into the woods*

STAIN DOODLES YAY!!! As you know I have lots of stainmight ideas BUT I need to know how to draw the characters to actually draw the said characters lol so I started with Stain. I really love his design but I needed to understand how the hell should I draw him in my style. I still have some work to do but I'm pretty happy with the way I draw him now :))

Also have some bonus stuff:

You don't understand how much I laughed while trying different shapes for Stain's main body- Bro always had big shoulders and tiny legs xD

I’m the anon that sent in all the Ruby stuff! It makes me so happy that you love her so much. I didn’t expect her to be such a beloved character to you and I was kind of nervous that you would have hated her tbh. ^^;

Something Ruby related — I had a fic about Twig and co. confronting the siblings before I ultimately scrapped it because I could not write villainous characters without making them feel cliché. I do remember this one line said by Ruby’s sister when she lashes out towards Twig:

“You wouldn’t get it. You have a cushy life style and you baby your daughter instead of actually raising her. We’re doing that ungrateful, spoiled brat a favor — we’re teaching her how to survive. You wouldn’t know the meaning of that with that silver spoon in your mouth.”

I don’t blame you for struggling with not making the siblings feel cliché— writing villainous characters gets 900x more difficult the second you don’t want to make them sympathetic. Ark was fairly simple for me to write, even in scrapped scenes where he was all-in with his villainous role during the events of the post-game. Twig’s aunt, meanwhile, gave me a heck of a hard time while I was developing her backstory.

Moral Orel doesn't seem 100% like a show I'd feel seen in if you don't know me but then I remember the episode with the special ed kids and underneath the usual satire on extremist bible belt religion it reminds me WAY too much of how actual special ed departments treated me and other kids growing up.

Like the writers must HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIFE, man. I'd kill to sit down with Dino Stamatopoulos and find out what the fuck inspired him and the other writing staff that day.

I feel like the game's trying to tell me something. I'm not even doing Nightmare often and suddenly I'm bombarded with special Diavolo cards.

Okay I get it the man's fine as hell and his little dance sprite shooting fire is lit af you don't gotta tell me that I can admit defeat and now it's nice to have him in the battle - It's like playing Smash and you got to beat the challenger to earn a chance to play em lol.

🐾 Among the activities was a free-draw station with oil pastels on card-stock paper, which I supervised and helped the kids to know that they could create anything they wanted to create. First, I did a palm tree, similarly to what I did for an art lesson at last week’s camp at Union Church. Afterwards, I got the urge to do another oil pastel drawing on the spot. What I conjured up was a rough study of a lioness. I wrote out the words “Jungle Cat” thinking that it needed a title. Yet, I changed my mind. Every time I do a drawing or sketch out in the open, especially amongst kids, they are a very mesmerized audience. It always is a pleasure to share with others what I love to do. 🐆

Guys pro tip don’t burn urself out because recovering from burning yourself out sucks so bad

[broodsys]

the best feeling is when ive been practicing drawing on and off all day and it feels like it's going nowhere, like okay great i can trace effectively, is this actually doing anything...?

and then i try to free draw and it's like. oh. oh, it is.

it's not like i'm suddenly amazing, but i can recognize where im getting things wrong and correct them a lot easier rn

So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?

“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”

And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

[kaboomi]

You shouldn’t it’s a curse.
