i wanted to draw something really fucked up inspo from jc leyendecker

[yanabeardoodles]

dude! your art is so delicious!!! how did you start drawing and who were your inspos and stuff?? you have a seriously unique and beautiful art style and i’m just eating SO good right now

I love telling this story!

I started drawing around 9 y/o and it was because my mom (who in no professional way is an artist. She works in law) was able to draw the cartoons me and my sister would see on TV.

I always looked up to mom as a little kid and wanted to figure out how to do that as well.

Time went on, I got into anime in middle school, checked out a bunch of Christopher Hart "how to draw anime books", and continued to draw all throughout high school.

Just to realize I didn't like how I was creating art.

I felt stuck and looking at the 7 years of art I did from middle school and high school I really felt I wasn't...changing.

Then I didn't change how I approached art for a few years after that. I was a workaholic so I never really dedicated as much time as I had wanted to figuring out how to change.

I tried branching out with different sources like studying Glen Keane gestures and loose western cartoon styles. Still felt stuck

THEN QUARANTINE HAPPENED 🗣️

Remember that workaholic life I mentioned? I use to work at least three jobs all at once before quarantine. Then I had no jobs. And I freaked out cause I saw my self-worth was connected with how much work I could do at once.

Not healthy, be better than me folks.

Anyway I needed a way to kill time and feel like I was accomplishing something. Then art reared her shiny ass in my face and said

"...draw, bitch"

So I did. All day. Every. Single. Day.

And there wasn't a goal to be a better artist this time. I just needed a damn project 😂. And it wasn't until the end of 2020 I saw improvement looking back to April

As seen below April vs December 2020

(Don't ask me why but the youth drawing is still one of my all time favorites)

Also I won't lie, I made a tik tok in April, it blew up outta no where in August cause of Rock (freakin) Lee of all things. And I liked the attention. Don't be like me. I burned out very quickly due to that mindset of "make art people want to see as fast as possible!" Not make art for myself.

Anyway, by then I was use to drawing everyday. Not even full blown illustrations but like doodling everyday. And I wanted to keep that routine. So I got jobs that would allow me to at least be able to sketch at breakfast before work.

Then I got a job as a paint and sip instructor, so I was able to try painting more often

As seen here

And from there I just started playing with art supplies all around. I treat art like math. My brain gets easily distracted and with that in mind, if I get tired of digital art, I go to color pencils or watercolor or gouache and then rinse and repeat.

I feel this is going on forever so to wrap it up

Current artists I'm inspired by:

For colors -

JC Leyendecker

@japhers on tumblr and twitter

For ink- Bruce Timm (worked on BTAS/STAS/Justice League etc)

Dan Mora (@ Danmora_c on Twitter)

Lastly character designs - A BUNCH OF ART OF THE MOVIE BOOKS

Spiderverse, Klaus, Maya and the Three, Luca, Dreamworks, Miyazaki etc

If the movie or show was cool. I went hunting for that art book to figure out what they were thinking when they made the characters.

And that's it.

The end of my spiel

I was tagged by my good buddy @priincebutt to do a mood board for one of my WIPs! I don’t have a title for this one yet, it’s just saved as my Titanic AU. RWRB of course with all the drama and high-flying romance we expect! I’m pretty excited about this one and hope yall will be too!

Feel free to ask some questions about it! Ever since posting the Christmas fic, I’m been alive with inspo!

One note on the collage: the two artworks are by queer artists from around the time this AU takes place, JC Leyendecker (the woman and the man photo) and Harry Allan Tuke (the two men photo). Kaz Rowe has an amazing video about Leyendecker if you want to learn more.

Good morning/afternoon/night, whichever you prefer,

I wanted to ask where your coloring style comes from? Because I've seen kinda similar styles to it but never quite the same (I'm asking because it's the coolest thing I've ever seen)

hi from spain!

HIIIII

I feel like my colouring style changes every drawing lol, but I get lots of inspo from JC Leyendecker & Matteo Scalera!

[honeybyte]

For the ama; what are your biggest art influences?

ooohhh oh man. lets seeee

@keymintt and @deadwooddross are HUGE inspirations for me regarding teeth and creatures. and i first started using hue change and experimenting w color a bit bc of @c2oh ! (thats their comm page but it shows what i mean)

i also draw a lot on classical paintings, vintage lovers photos, fashion editorials, etc. i couldnt name everyone i get inspo from bc i dont stick to a specific artist or photographer, but a lot of what i do comes from the vintage photos and fashion editorials.

OH actually, i do love JC Leyendecker. that feels like an easy grab but i love his poses, the brush strokes, and the pops of color in his art, so if im stuck or want a specific vibe i'll look at leyendecker art

I’ve been seeing JC Leyendecker stuff on my dash lately and since they're one of my fav artists I decided to start a Hanzo piece inspired from his amazing artwork

Alex Kralie: "You're lucky everyone loves you, otherwise I would've fired you in an instant because of your shitty attitude, boy."

I like to think Tim has kind of an atittude problem/beef with Alex, but Alex doesn't wanna fire him since his popularity raises the ratings of his films and gets him bank. If he does fire him, his business will go to shit💀

to put it simply, Tim gets pretty privilege and still gets to keep his job lol

ARCANE ARTISTS, I HAVE A CALL TO ACTION

If you can draw Silco and/or mimic art styles, I have a proposition.

Y’know J.C. Leyendecker?

I’m begging you guys to redraw any of his paintings as Silco.

Here are some suggestions:
