I was makin myself a potato waffle. And had a fun realization/idea.

I bet that there's at least a small waffle restaurant in Gotham. Look me in the eyes and tell me there isn't a place that sells Spoiler-themed waffles.

hi i’m insane and i also read dandadan at your recommendation. read all 164 available chapters in less than 24 hours, in fact (factoring in crying breaks because holy shit i was sobbing). i love each of the arcs and how each of the two’s jealousy is handled while also dealing with the paranormal bullshit it’s just so fucking good.

MANGA SPOILERS FOR THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH but my god… the chapters dedicated to vamola’s backstory… praying it gets a season two for vamola alone tbh i love her so dearly. thank u for talking about it cause i am in love, literally right up there fighting for new favorite shounen because it’s just written so well.

WE GOT ANOTHER ONE LADS 🪤🪤

The true dandadan experience is going "what. that looks weird but I guess I'll try a chapter maybe" and then coming out of a fugue state hours later having read the whole thing 🫶

I LOVED okarun's experience with jiji, and him realizing he's a genuinely nice guy, despite him taking up space in momos heart. All of them finding friends in each other despite their initial dislike is just. Idk how to explain it yet I just love it a lot skdkdkdkd.

I was soooo prepared to hate vamola. I was so mad we were getting that "cute girl can't even talk 🥺👉👈" harem trope. I'm really glad I didn't have to wait weeks in between updates to learn her backstory because WOAH. Did change my mind skskkdkdkd.

Hi! I'm a super big fan of your art, everything is so pretty and amazing and I just wanna consume it every time I see one of your comics or illustrations. I just wanted to ask (cause I looked around a lil but didn't see anything covering this, if I missed it so sorry haha) what art program/tablet do you use to draw? Also, do you have any tips for beginning artists? I'm trying to get into drawing but I'm not too sure where to start TwT

AAAAA 😭😭 you're too sweet!! Thank you so much!

Also omg personally I use an iPad with the program/app procreate on it to draw!

I'm gonna put everything else under a read more since I got a little wordy oops

Honestly if I were to offer any beginning artist tips I think the biggest one is to just have fun. I know it sounds silly but really like just have fun and don't worry about what you're drawing being perfect or exactly what you had in mind or anything like that. As long as you're having fun and doing your best and not stressing about what you're creating you'll find yourself wanting to draw and create more- and it's within time and persistence that your skills develop

Also while it's good to draw every day since you do need to actively draw more to improve, don't stress about making sure you do! Just go at your own pace and draw when you feel like it!

I think I stress both of these points since they're things I've been working on and struggling with off and on too, realizing I don't have to be constantly drawing and that what I do draw doesn't have to be perfect, and honestly my comics have been a great exercise in letting myself make things "imperfect"

Relating to actual drawing skill sets, I do think that doing figure drawing is incredibly important since learning anatomy is crucial to drawing, even if it's not the most fun thing. Really if you see someone in a cool pose- typically real life photos- if you just try to see the shapes the human body makes and just loosely sketch a messy version of where their body shapes are can help. You don't have to break them down super basically like some tutorials do, unless that helps you! Everyone draws differently so there's no Right Way to do anything. Here's some examples from some I did a while back! I used highlighters since it made it so I couldn't erase, so I had to be more purposeful in my lines, but you can use any medium you want!

And don't worry if it doesn't look exactly like the photo you're drawing from- you're learning!

Another thing is that references are your friend, looking at things and figuring out how to draw them is incredibly helpful so don't be afraid to look up anything you're trying to draw for help

Something I used to do specifically for learning, was looking at photos or even pieces of art I thought were cool and then trying to draw something how I saw it, to understand someone else's use of shape and form. These were things I kept in sketchbooks to just figure out how to draw things like hands and feet and legs, using real life and other's works as a reference to teach myself

Then later while drawing on my own, if I couldn't figure out how to draw something I would go back to my own references and practices to help myself by using my own referenced art as a reference- here's a whole page of hands I drew a couple years ago while looking at photos of hands and also some art (uhhh I believe it was from GinjaNinjaOwO on youtube- if you DO post anything you've referenced poses or elements from, be sure to credit the original artist you've taken reference from!)

You can see I've got a lot of mistakes and scribbles and wonky forms- because I was just trying to understand the shapes and practice drawing hands on my own time, this wasn't anything I had ever drawn with the intention of posting lmao

But! You can do this for any kind of thing you're trying to learn, from arms to facial shapes to hands- just learning what kind of shapes and forms bodies or anything else you're trying to draw take

As far as the side of what kind of stuff to USE to draw, really I'd say to not be afraid of pencil and paper, I know digital art can have a nice and clean polish to it, but especially if you're learning it's really nice to just have a sketchbook (any kind work, just find paper you like! I've been using dot grid notebooks lately!) and a pencil or pen or really anything you feel comfortable with, that you can just loosely draw with and use whenever you like

For digital hardware while I do LOVE the iPad, I know they're pricier and not everyone jives with them, so I'd recommend drawing tablets by the brand Huion, since I've had a great time with them in the past when I used my laptop with Paint Tool Sai, which I also highly recommend as a drawing program, but keep in mind you can use anything! I have a friend who makes AMAZING works just using mspaint lmao

Honestly! In the end, like I said, just focus on having fun and drawing things that you want to without worry for being perfect or 100% anatomically accurate or anything. There's fundamentals that are the best base to build off of but never stress too much about it. Have fun creating! 💙💜

Can you briefly explain the plot of dungeon meshi i havent watched nor read it

OUGH YES I CAN. OKAY so dungeon meshi starts off with a group of adventures trying to slay a dragon in a dungeon but unfortunately the team was pretty unsuccessful from lack of food and hunger and it ended up making the main character's (laios) sister (falin) get eaten by the dragon. before she was fully eaten she cast a spell to teleport them safely back to the surface but two of the group members quit resulting in there only being 3. these three members venture back into the dungeon and decide if they want to survive to save falin they have to eat monsters and in attempt to cook one of the monsters a guy named senshi helps them and joins their group. they then continue through the dungeon and go through many trials and adventures to save laios's sister
