Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

@sketchbookweek Day 2 | Hilda !

My first time trying out pixel art, with a wonderful little app for my phone!!! End product is very simple and hardly flawless, but I don’t think too bad for my first try!

#before I got my period I was thinking I’d challenge myself to try something new or unfamiliar for every day of sketchbook week #since I don’t have my usual tools #but now I’m in survival mode lol so if I can get something done every day it’ll be a bloody miracle #might do more pixel art in that case! this was fun and I want to get better at it too #esp once my iPad is fixed and I can get the app on there #experiment with a bigger canvas yk!#hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #art #my art #digital art #fanart #doodle #drawing #pixel art #oh the app is pixquare btw! it’s very good great UI and highly customisable #sketchbook week #sketchbook week 2024 #Kaisa Hilda #Hilda kaisa #Hilda Johanna #johanna hilda #sketchbook #sketchbook ship #kaisanna #Hilda (Hilda)#it feels weird to do this prompt as just them standing next to eachother but. here we are #I think they’re cute anyway so who cares!!

[ID from alt text: A digital bust drawing of a dark purple cat. The cat has thin and long fur, large ears, and strange grey eyes. The cat appears to be fading into mist. End ID]

one of my not much talked about OCs, shadow. she has shadow powers. im not completely decided on what it exactly is or details on how it works but she can kind of... sink into shadows, almost like a pocket dimension, and travel through shadows. i first made her in around 2015.

#Needs a rename in that it can be like first “shadow” last bc I get weird about renaming characters.#the name always needs a link back to the original at least. Idk.#trying to adjust to new thang bc I can't really draw easily on laptop . So !#Idk . I really like this newer better sketchbook app but alsoooo . Still kinda buggy I guess but I mean . It's free and usable. More than #usable tbh. When I first made her I was always drawing with crayola colored pencils on printer paper lawllllllll so #my art #she was also originally antagonistic but she got hit with my antagonist domestication phase but I like how she is now #I'm making plenty of antagonistic OCs now so . Dont gotta worry about a shortage here now

yes moots….. i fear something truly terrible happened to me and im listening to twenty one pilots again for the first time in almost a decade

#i spun out on the freeway…. and then had to speed down that exact freeway to try and save my friend who was trying to kill himself #terrible beginning to the new year!!!#and then i immediately got sick #so i cut my hair and rearranged my room and #i want to get a new job!#and draw in my sketchbooks and be myself again #and i’ve been listening to Clancy for the first time and it’s really good #twenty one pilots

[original drawing date: 11th Oct '24]

Did some slight tweaks to my two characters currently named The Empress and The Dragon. Probably gonna make a fancy proper digital version at some point before the new year, hopefully, cuz I like this too much to not try that (that, and i wanna do a couple more tweaks to their designs)

#commodoresigma #my art #original #oc #original character #the dragon #the empress #personal favourite #got a new phone recently so i've been trying to get a handle on the camera #fun fact: the original photo was too large for tumblr so i had to scale it down #so note to self: don't use the highest res camera the file's too large and the picture quality is a bit weird for photographing a sketchbook

+ original sprite for comparison

#wondering how &/or why i made this? well because i needed to keep myself awake today and also wanted to practice using the sketchbook app on #my phone. as for how: i actually traced the original sprite #then colored in the hair by hand. in the middle of that though the quality suddenly got annihilated and i hadn't saved in a while #so i just decided screw it. i finished the pink highlights by hand then used the color picker/paint bucket tools to fill in the rest of the #coloring (which i was originally planning to do also by hand). then i opened a new sketch & drew the symbol on his shirt and layered that #on top (idk why but i thought that would be easier than trying to trace it and i...think i was right? either way i like how it turned out!)#then i just cleaned it up a bit- retraced some of the lines and such. and *then* right before i went to finally post it i realized i forgot #the red squares on the right side of his jacket. so i just spent the last hour or so adding those #i was also gonna add a bit of shading too but i'm fucking burnt out at this point so screw that lmao #honestly it doesn't really matter i'm very VERY happy with how this turned out :)#nagito komaeda #danganronpa #sdr2 #🖌 tag #🍄 tag #send tweet

lol that post got super derailed off the bat (nobody’s fault but mine for being smarmy there tbh) but the point stands. before you call any creature with feathered wings I make “angel” please imagine me being very miffed about it and then do as you wish

#bakuspeech #like. I think the thing here is you're just misreading the piece if you go in looking for angel stuff #which literally doesn't matter really but I'm up in arms about it the way authors are about their worst character being fan favourite #idk man. do u know there are big birds on our copper drums #they're neat and they're cool I like them a lot #anyways. this round of comms is finally done!!#sorry to the last client in the bout for taking so damn long skjghdkj I just. I don't think I like working with a light table #or. I'd like it better if its bigger. I'd just like it better if I have more space in general probably #currently it's just like. I have to choose between my tablets and my ink. and switching is a Big hassle #I'll try to figure out something for it!#but the news for now is: I'll take the next week off comm stuff. to unclench my brain #got a Bunch of stuff I wanna take care of. before the month ends #so uh! we'll see about stuff! if ur here for the ink comms please look forward to that coming back in a week!#also I'm gonna reblog the recent stuff again. I've just been head in sketchbook/paper not giving a shit abt anything #I need to see sunlight again. man. boy
