4, 11 and 13 for the ask game, pls! Thank you and have a good day!
ask game here!
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
let's see we can list more of this! I draw birds and wings a decent amount and still every time I draw that I still have to look up one of those wing anatomy charts. I find I'm not well practiced with transparent materials yet, but I hope to get better at that in time. I'd like to get better at figuring out how to lay down a nature scene quickly too, I love to work with that in theory but in practice every time I draw that kind of background I had to stare at like eighty tabs of refs the whole way through. I'm such a city kid through and through...
I'm mostly blessed to not have to worry about hands and shoes too much, I usually have an okay time with them, but I do have days I call bad hand days and bad shoe days the way folks have bad hair days. sometimes even things I like drawing and usually have a good time with don't come out right! just gotta stand up and do something else for a bit
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
absolutely! especially nowadays. I rotate between my current favourite albums and youtube videos/stream VODs. the most consistent caveat is I cannot listen to anything with a plot. that will distract me way too much to draw at the same time.
I also call my friends and hang out in vc while drawing sometimes! especially if I really need to get something done. this is honestly the only way to subject me to new medias I don't know about
13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
ahh this is hard... I usually don't look too hard into things I don't actively care about. I guess I'd say the Phong Dương comic team, they're immensely talented people who practically carried Vietnamese comic on their back for a while, and I love Thành Phong's inking style, I just... can't read their comics. for some reasons. they just flow off the back of my skull! I still have all three volumes of Long Thần Tướng currently out on my shelf, but every time I try reading them they just don't stick. I'm honestly kinda mad abt this lol
#ask#bakuspeech#artist ask#thank you for the ask!#once again I am an intensely pleasure-oriented person lol. so I usually don't draw things I don't somewhat enjoy drawing#at most I suffer through drawing some objects that are necessary to the piece but I don't draw by themselves usually#but even those are often not hard to draw. just fiddly#the rest of art is a perfectly meshed cacophony of both joy and abject agony#say ''I enjoy drawing'' feels misleading. I do! but that's not even the half of it. drawing's like breathing to me#if breathing is vastly more costly and takes up much more focus and time. and also sometimes makes you mad#I enjoy drawing yeah. but more importantly I become kinda wrong if I don't draw. like I go bad like milk or produce#so yeah I'm already in This State just by drawing. might as well not make it hard for myself yknow#but also! I do genuinely think being indulgent is hugely important to art!! you need to be decadent and wasteful#and flippant and extremely selfish in your art. it's vital to your health#especially if you do art for a living. you need a space where you can be as indulgent as possible.#that's really my whole art philosophy lol. one it is always better to do art than not to do art.#two if your art is indulgent and self-entitled it inherently has value already. because it's serving something#<- once again rambling about how everyone should do some art#like. when I say ''drawing is like breathing to me'' I'm not lamenting the requirement#I think making funny shapes and funny noises is integral to being human. artists are not separate from humans#drawing well is overrated singing well is overrated. make shape now make noise now. for your health#this has been a PSA. thank u for the ask! fjshdfkdjsfh
