reflections on my two weeks living in nyc again, feat. 192 books, a really cool bookstore i found in chelsea 💗 i'm still figuring out the trajectory of this blog but once i start work (tomorrow, eep!), this may just turn into a workblr or nyc "travel" tumblr??

#it looks like ive been doing a lot these past two weeks and it's because i have been lol #think i've done more in these past two weeks than i have in the 5+ years i lived in the city.. back when i was scared of everything #also those are two different erics and i didn't even meet with one of them #tea-tuesday #studyblr #mine #studyspo #study inspiration #studying #study #study motivation #reading #workblr #work #new york #chelsea #hobonichi #hobonichi weeks

college is supposed to be a new start for danny: one in which his “work” life and personal life stay strictly separate. but when danny moves into his new gotham university dorm for the upcoming semester, his hopes are dashed. gotham is overflowing with lost souls, and they won’t leave him alone long enough for him to finish his damn physics homework.

when mr. and mrs. wayne offer him refuge in their old study, danny thinks he’d be stupid not to take it. he wasn’t expecting their house to still be inhabited, but whatever. he can blend into the background. he’ll do anything for some peace and quiet.

now if only he can convince martha to stop trying to out him to the rest of the family.

#ive had this prompt floating around for almost a year now #and i dont think it’s ever going anywhere #so merry christmas! ya’ll’re welcome to partake #encouraged even #danny phantom #tayscreams #dpxdc #dpxdc prompts #batfamily and danny shenanigans essentially #he’s working on the ghost issue in his free time alright #but gotham u is a public school he can’t just claim a haunt & then tell the ghosts that are already there to piss off #he just needs a few hours in the day to study. a place where his laptop won’t fritz and crash every 5 minutes #thank god for old ass family manors and concerned ghost parents #it’s not squatting if you go back to your dorm every night right

Doing master studies the only way I know how: Stealing them and making them my guys.

(Barberini Faun)

(The Fallen Angel - Alexandre Cabanel)

(Covent Garden - William Bruce Ellis Rankin)

#obviously. not actually theft...#i was gonna say these are public domain but covent garden actually isnt yet #it will be. in two years.#thats the most different one though like i added a whole new guy..#maybe not the most different. barberini faun is pretty different i just took the post #pose #its barely even a study. thats not true #but. what was i saying.#oh its not theft it's study... the purpose is to learn!!! but also. if im gonna spend like 2 days on something...#its GONNA be my guys #otherwise. idk. i only want to spend 30 or so minutes per study #just to get the notes down and the practice for the skill im working on #i dont get all that much more out of completely rendering a master study. PERSONALLY.#at least definitely not enough to be worth taking 100x longer #but making them my characters makes it worth going all the way!!!#plus it's good practice w like. not just going 1:1 but actually genuinely interpreting whats there so i can manipulate it...#again. personally. this is just how i worm #WORK #youd better worm bitch #uhm... anyways yeah. ive done lots of study but why TF share it LMAO i dont even save it #its just to learn. ive got 1 million other drawings to save and look at later.#once the learning is done it's done its job and i have no need anymore #this is why the only studies i have are from school. i had to save and upload them #well. ok also i dont study as much now BUT in my defense im a full time artist #an hour or so a week is different ok im learning while working too.. i learned how to learn and i do it all the time now #master studies #digital art #my art #illustration #my ocs

cant stop thinkin bout charles and erik readin together on the couch but instead of reading with him charles is listening to eriks thoughts while he reads. Live mind commentary ……..

#xmen #cherik #charles xavier #erik lehnsherr #snap chats #the rare time i post an idea of mine only because i really cant think of a way id draw this #usually i hoard my ideas cause i like surprising you guys but this aint really one i feel like drawing so. For You my friends #like i COULD but. idk just isnt particularly something im itching to draw it just seems cute #but anyways no chat let me cook alright hear me out cause i talk in my brain all the time while i read #sometimes i stop reading just to think about a bit i read yeah #i want charles to listen in on all of eriks side comments or observations he makes while reading something #like if he wanted to charles could read the whole book in less than five minutes- maybe shorter than that #and that aint fun that aint cool …. so time for Audible: Husband Edition. With Commentary #ITD BE SO COZY just hangin out by the fireplace …. maybe its snowin outisde … if snow even exists anymore atp #a light fire cracklin and the study SEEMS totally quiet otherwise and yet…..#charles has been locked in to erik’s off-the-cuff literary analysis and mild comments for the past twenty minutes. its simple but its bliss #charles doesnt have to worry about being seen as invasive .. he doesnt have to suppress his powers …#the rare occasion erik lets charles into his mind for somethin so innocent .. ive made myself sick i fear #see now i wanna try writing a fic but 1.) have written in years 2.) id have to really think hard on how erik would commentate on a book #hm…… actually i do wonder what erik’s commentary on The Fable of the Bees would be …..#IN ANY CASE. maybe - at the very least- i can draw cherik by the fireplce someday ….#thatd be cute … hm …. depends on if i get in the mood for it down the line #anyways i have to drive back to my dorm !!! boo !!!! so good night everyone !!!!!

reposting some old doodles i still enjoy a bit

#a doodley #guys im having realizations i dont really know what to do with #ive said this tons before but my main issue with art rn is like #i Know anatomy. and what it's Meant to look like. my issue is straying away from Correct and going with Good like how some of my stuff was #before i really started learning. loose and not restricted #but my obstacle is that nobody draws the way i want to draw. and im bad at coming up with my own stuff...i need to copy and osmose off #someone else. well. it turns out there is someone who draws the way i draw. and its cheye of the past.#dont get me wrong if i look thru the rest of the art in the (year) folder these came from; 80% of it sucks #i wish i cld have what past cheye had but with current cheye tweaks and refinement #but idk how to do that. something weird has happened to my mind i really cant envision and make art the same way anymore #idk how he did it back then....i wish i Knew bc current me cant make anything out of sketching or thumbnails or just going at it #arghhh #i try and force myself to draw stuff like this now (interactions) and it looks. so stiff. and bad proportion wise but idk how to fix it #which isnt to say the proportions (for example) in THESE drawings are perfect but they dont scream Wrong or Bad or Incorrect to me ykwim...#idk! idk what to do with this. ive never known how to go back and study my own stuff

(belated) new pen alert + updating my 5-year hobonichi ! a few months ago, i got a lamy safari in the piña colada colorway. unfortunately, the EF nib was SO scratchy and awful, but i got a replacement nib and switched to a different ink, and it flows much better! it is not my favorite fountain pen but i do love how colorful the body is. i'm also behind on my 5-year hobonichi so i have been filling in past missing entries, such as my trip to copenhagen and stockholm last month 💆‍♀️ although not being a student anymore feels strange, i have so much time to catch up on my previously neglected journals :))

#ok let's not talk about the state of my nails LOL #i don't start work until the end of next month so ive really been being a couch potato at my parents' home #i also don't have the $$ to move early :(#tea-tuesday #studyblr #mine #study inspiration #studyspo #stationery #stationery freaks #fountain pen #hobonichi #hobonichi 5 year #journaling #lamy safari

How draw wings.

first thing, references all day long. I like to use physical books that I pick up from thrift stores like this massive book on birds of prey-

it's got giant spreads that are really easy to look closely at. I really prefer physical books and images over digital references unless I need something really specific cause that way I've already got the good poses bookmarked and I don't have to go searching

If you don't have access to any good books, I definitely recommend getting reference images from stock image sites like pexel.

Step 2 is simplification. Don't try to draw exactly what you see; instead look at the major shapes in the wing. In the image above I can separate the major parts of the wings into these shapes: (doing all this with a trackpad so bear with me)

which can be further simplified to something like this:

don't be afraid to play with shapes either to make them look nicer and less stiff. definitely look into wing anatomy as well, I'm not an expert on that and there are definitely people out there who can explain better than me lol

#asks #also ive owned chickens for over 12 years now so ive had a lot of irl study of wings #i prefer to reference chicken and pigeon wings personally cause theyre fun to draw #so you'll also notice that my wings are more rounded and blunt than the raptor wings above lol
