#it always helps with art continuity

[fckbatmanhiskidsareminenow]

this is probably SO niche but i love creating scar maps.

if you don’t know what a scar map is; basically you take a character and figure out where all their scars would be. these are usually from canon events BUT you can ofc headcanon scars. for example: tim drake would have a scar from where he lost his spleen.

now i would LOVE to create ones for the batfamily but due to my limited access to comics (😔) and limited free time, i can’t just go through and find all major physical injuries.

if anyone has a list or knows where one is on the internet please let me know!! i’ve been craving to do this since i got into the fandom.

Alright fine I'm posting my first gabe attempt

[spheciform]

Like the more new creative forms I try the more I realize how much a miracle it is that anything gets made at all because it all requires so much incredible effort and skill. Like for real even the most scuffed thing you've ever seen has hours and hours of effort and love put into it and I think that's beautiful

("author" note: I'm american so when i say 'our' it is directed only at america.)

i think that there's a point to trying to figure out blame. i think there's a point to trying to suss out 'who's responsible for this' in any situation that brings harm to people. i think that seeking clarity in the form of understanding how events unfold is noble and worthy, and useful, and poweful. but seeking Blame has its limits in usefulness, and it has unlimited potential to suck out your energy, your voracious spirit, your willingness to wake up and face the day again

whoever you blame, whoever you think you can point to and say: you. you are part of what did this.

that blame has to be packaged and put to bed within us. not because we are swallowing our feelings, nor do i think feelings should be ignored. but, because that hurt we feel IS tied to the intrinsic hope and promise of existence, we have to put it down neatly and move around it to proceed with clear minds.

i believe this to be true because the chain of blame is actually never ending. it's historic. no matter how deeply back you dig, you will always find a new person involved in the responsibility, in the consequences. and if you don't put the blame down, but also comprehend that you can't blame some sole Other, it will turn on itself and devour you in unworthy guilt.

i am 29. i was born in 1995. i have never known a time of limited information, limited window into the suffering we inflict on others. i have always had access to the knowledge of our failures, our hypocrises, our contradictions, our arguments and misunderstandings. i have only been legally able to vote in 3 elections, starting with 2016. i have very different political stances than my parents.

the Blame Game pattern of thinking has been an intrinsic part of my upbringing, of my own psychological processing, of my shifting priorities as i try to suss out what is 'right,' what to 'do.' it's a vital and hideous part of our modern reactionary communications - and I can't level blame at 'reactionaries' either, because there truly is so much, constantly, to react to.

countless people hold responsibility for modern woes in their lives, in their minds. if you try to chase Blame down, to swear vengeance on the Ones Responsible, it will consume you before it touches a single person you find blame in.

this is not a command or even a request. consider this an interesting gnarled tree you are examining briefly, perhaps. how strange, that it could grow that way naturally. i only wish to grow as best i can and bring any kind of stability to the soil below me. i only wish to sustain myself and the world around me. i have no answers, but i will always ask myself questions, and challenge myself, and try to improve.

there has been more room in my mind to improve, to be open and curious, to love and protect, since i stopped entertaining the question of Blame.

After looking through your art tag I just want to say I love how you draw girls and women!!!! I don't really have much else to say but I would love to hear your advice for srawing them if you wouldn't mind o.o

Thank you!!

I think one thing which is a strong point but also a weak area for me is that i draw literally what i like. i like softer rounder sort of features on a characters face. If i see someone i think looks nice i will try and implement their features in my characters too 😭 i think some people might think this is weird of me to say as a guy, but i just want to enjoy doing art :D especially after drawing mainly women with hijab, i feel like the face stands out a lot more. i want the characters i draw to have a warm, gentle and welcoming sort of vibe.

My main point would be to just draw what YOU like to see, it will show in your art when you enjoy drawing something vs drawing something you think your audience wants to see

[yamtaroh]

art knowledge. hand it over. 🫴

/hj but fr im trying to get back into art, do you have any like. resources you'd recommend

hello!!!!!!! i don't use many resources but

have fun!!!!! i backflip into the swamp and become bread

[howdidigetbacktowritingwhat]

hiii i want you to know i just consumed the entire fic and all your art so far and im obsessed. any chance you're willing to feed me a few crumbs :3

hiii anon i also want you to know that this was the final pushing point that helped me push through finishing the next chapter <3/gen/pos

full respect to portrayals who do otherwise but my dai will always suck at art. more specifically, he will always suck at the technical aspect of it. no matter how hard he practices he simply does not have the hardwiring in his brain or his hands to produce perfect art, the same way someone who's naturally tone deaf can't be readily expected to ever sing a masterpiece score: even though with enough practice they can reach a certain point, it's still a point that most could consider average, ordinary, not all that impressive. this doesn't stop daisuke, though. he's still going to produce his clumsy and talentless art solely because he likes doing it, because he loves it.

and the thing is, the thing about him is, his appraising sense for art itself is actually essentially equal to a hikari's. even someone who's tone-deaf can still become a master of music theory, and that's likewise how, where daisuke is. he can immediately discern messages and pick up on an artist's intentions and emotions within a piece; he KNOWS how these colors and materials and techniques and all sorts of works should go, somewhat intuitively, what they should and do often mean, but he, fundamentally, just can't manage it his own self. his hands never manage to replicate what's in his mind with clarity, there's always some kind of flaw. he forgets, flubs up one thing or another, his work will always seem amateurish even after months, years, decades.

sometimes it bothers him, but most of the time he's accepted the fact and his own limits. of his skill, his creativity, but as long as he can still get to express something sincere and from the heart, he's content. even if it's ugly, it's true, it's his, and he still tried to seriously accomplish creating, making something that he wanted to.
