Hello hope you are having a good day or night,I just randomly thought about this but are you self taught or did you have an art teacher?
Why thank you, I hope your day or night has been good as well!
I’m a little bit of both, as my mom learned about portraiture from my grandfather, and passed onto me her love of studying life and watching nature and art documentaries when I showed an interest in drawing. It’s because of her encouragement that I strived to learn and grow in my drawing skills and eventually made the decision to go to art school for my degree.
Of course, I can also attribute the fact that I started drawing at all to those amazing Warriors Cats animations on early Youtube. I learned how to do digital art through watching speed paints :)
#answered asks#my mom loved art books#I used to just sit in her office and read her books about a bunch of different artists and animal anatomies#I also used to draw comics about the stories I made up for my toys

Oh, Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’
Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.
#my art#digital art#artists on tumblr#watership down#so just to make this absolutely clear.. this is fiver XD not an attempt of a book cover#even tho it looks so much like many watership down covers tbh#i didnt even realize until i was actually googling images for reference that i found a lot of wd covers have a rabbits profile and the fiel#what a bummer#but i still like this a lot#everyone and their moms thought about the same thing i guess#me included#anyway FIVER MY BOY#I LOVE HIM HES JUST LIKE ME#IDK WHY EXACTLY BUT I RELATE TO HIM SO MUCH#its like 'yeah i also have visions of chaos and death and despair its called having anxiety and depression'#ok no forget that

I'm the swb gal?????)#I need to reorganize my book shelf#I have so many books piled on the floor in my room because I don't have enough shelf space#but I also refuse to get rid of the doll house#yes it's an impractical way to store books no I don't care because my dad made it#(hi dad since I know you read the tags lol)

this is a sketch i did for children's day! (5th may in korea so this is from quite a while ago haha) i never had any plans to post this (which is why it's kinda jank lol) but i'm working on something Big™ rn so i thought i'd post this in the meantime!
translation here bc i'm too lazy to edit the image:
jiwon kim (age 1)
cas: you were so chubby lol
gabe: so cute!
mc's mom: isn't my jiwon just the cutest?
jiwon (my mc): moooooooomm!!
#i was looking through an old photo album and it reminded me of that scene in book 1 where mc's mom showed cas and gabe mc's baby photos#so i drew it for children's day this year haha#i love that mc's dynamic with their mom is explored more in book 2!!#the scene with mom in ch11......... man#idk why but it got to me lol#playchoices#choices id#choices immortal desires#immortal desires#choices fanart#fanart#gabe adalhard#cas harlow#mc: jiwon kim#oc: taeri “terri” kim#my art#hydn.jpg

IMAGINE. working at ur stupid uhhh job or whatever. pulling into your drive way and ready to work on some crazy project in your garage. opening the door to the most unfamiliar silence. did your wife and kid leave for something? could you imagine knocking on your kids door, hardly getting an answer, and opening it to find the splattered remains of your wife across his room your child is scared! hes hardly consolable, in a state of shock and terror. you are too, but youre the adult here. you need to take charge. you need to protect him. you need to do something. you need to do something.

Photo
Papercraft Sakura! I based her dress on her play costume from the second Cardcaptor Sakura movie. Picking a specific outfit was hard, because all her clothes are so nicely designed - but y’all know me; I’m always excited to use pink. 🌸
Her hair color was also tricky to choose, because it varies so much between adaptations! In the end I skewed more toward the very light brown from the manga and Clear Card anime, but added a few areas of slightly darker brown as a nod to the older series.
This papercraft artwork was part of my holiday sale! It has sold now, but there are a bunch of other papercraft offerings up for grabs. Take a look if you’d like to snag some artwork, my lovelies!
#cardcaptor sakura#sakura kinomoto#CLAMP#papercraft#papercutting#paper art#my art#my copies of the CCS manga give me SUCH JOY every time I see them on my shelf#I specifically wanted the Dark Horse omnibus versions for YEARS but they're hard to find and pretty expensive#so I was getting the collector's editions from Kodansha instead#but. BUT#I don't like those as much!!#the books themselves are gorgeous and the covers are wonderful but the paper doesn't feel great#and I wish there were more color pages#EVERY TIME I read through them I was like these are lovely but I wish they were the other editions#AND THEN#SECONDHAND BOOKSTORE TO THE RESCUE#THE EDITIONS I WANTED BRAND NEW PRICE DECENT#HUGE PINK BRICKS OF BOOKS#I snatched them up and literally called my mom on the drive home to tell her about my purchase I was so excited#this was the same bookstore where I found the entire run of FMA by the way#sometimes they don't have anything of interest but when they do they give me GOLD

Honestly your tags are so fun to read every time, i'm almost more excited for them than the actual post (but not entirely because your art is SO GOOD!!!! i adore it). If you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?
i am studying psychology because i refuse to see a therapist so ill figure out whats wrong with me myself !!!!!!!
#snap chats#WITH. a minor in human resources ☝️ because im evil or something#and whatever character/s i decide to fixate on for the next three years i will also psychoanalyze them I Guess. //loud coughing//#tbh i only saw a therapist to get medicine but since bloodwork is expensive without insurance i dont even do that anymore. sad !#but yeah im a certified rambler if i dont share every thought i have so people understand me as much as i want them to ill die#which is why charles xavier if youre out there you have full rights to my brain .......... //gross wink sound//#why cant telepaths be real itd make my life so much easier. i woudnt have to talk a mile a minute anymore#because i do talk very fast because growing up my mom would cut me off a lot#so now i talk fast in fear of being cut off without all my thoughts being heard. anyways.#thank you for also enjoying my art :] a sideshow to the glory that is my tags i KNOWWW but im glad my efforts are not unnoticed 😌#back to My Major tho when i was in middle school i thought i wanted to go into comic books#but then i thought id lose my love for drawing if i did it professionally so now i do it. semi professionally#on my own terms babyyyy thats right. and if im lucky i get paid to draw my faves im living the dream babes#thats why my text posts take nine years for me to type im legitimately sitting here thinking if i said everything i wanted#and if i worded it right but even then after it's up im like 'but did i word it right tho' but its like 'bro just fucking POST IT'#'ITS NOT THAT DEEP' its as my favorite professor once told me 'youre very paranoid' and he's right !!!! im very paranoid 🥰#ok im done now. see thats why i say Ok Im Done Now its a sign im forcing myself to shut UP#wait not done Almost but not quite i was rewatching 97 to Try to get caps of charles in his combat uniform#and i fear i still cackle at erik telling charles to shut up like PLEAAASSE...... i need that bit CLIPPED#it makes me giggle ... someone remind me to clip all of erik's cameos in the squirrelgirl podcast btw#ive been meaning to do that for weeks but. oops <3 i need all my grandpa's moments CATALOGUED and AT THE READY..#ok i done fr now i have class with my you're-paranoid professor in like an hour and i wanna get some work done before then#BYYYYYEEEE. FOR LIKE TWENTY MINUTES PROBABLY IDK

Me, fondly remembering my playthroughs of FFVII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, and XII: I don't need more blogs I don't need more blogs I don't need more blogs I do --
Though if I did RP as anyone, it'd hands-down be Beatrix from IX.
#Out of the Flames#I loved those games so much... including X-2#don't look at my poster of Shuyin and Lenne on my wall#or my collection of X-2 wallscrolls from anime cons when I was younger#or my statue of X-2 Yuna#RANDOM VONNY FACTS: I WAS PLANNING TO COSPLAY AS LULU AND BEATRIX AT ONE POINT#AND I ALSO WANTED TO COSPLAY AS SORCERESS EDEA#AND MY PROM DRESS WAS CUSTOM MADE AND BASED ON GARNET'S CORONATION GOWN#AND I SANG 1000 WORDS FOR THE ANNUAL TALENT SHOW DURING MY JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL#AND DURING MY FRESHMAN YEAR I SANG FOR THE FIRST TIME ON STAGE EVER AND IT WAS EYES ON ME FROM VIII#which is a weird contrast because Senior year I sang Think Of Me from Phantom of the Opera because go out with a bang BUT ANYWAY#VIII WAS THE FIRST FF GAME I OFFICIALLY PLAYED BUT MY SISTER AND MOM KNEW HOW MUCH I WANTED TO PLAY VII#SO FOR CHRISTMAS THEY GOT ME A PS2 AND THE FIRST KINGDOM HEARTS GAME AND A COPY OF VII#AND I WAS SO EXCITED AND EVEN MORE TOUCHED BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RUN OUT AND GET A PS1 MEMORY CARD FOR VII#AND THEY DID IT FOR ME... AND I WAS SO EXCITED#OH MY GOD I'M AKLSDGL AAAAAAAAAAAAA I COLLECTED STRATEGY GUIDES FOR ALL OF THE GAMES BECAUSE#I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING IN THE GAMES AND ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY SO THAT I COULD READ THEM LIKE BOOKS AND#USE THE CHARACTER DESIGN SECTIONS AND THE SCREENSHOTS AND ALL OF THE ART WITHIN THEM TO PRACTICE ART#AND AKSLDJGLKFDGLKJDLGF OKAY I'LL STOP RAMBLING NOW BECAUSE HOLY SHIT SO MANY TAGS LOL

he’s mad she ratted him out
#doctorsiren#gravity falls#the book of bill#bill cipher#jheselbraum the unswerving#gravity falls fanart#digital art#my art#procreate#okay because 1. she used to be a henchmanic but I don’t think she was ever on his side#2. I’m pretty sure she was a spy or SOMETHING#3. when the shaman guy started rejecting Bill. written on the side of that page it says (in code):#‘which one of my henchmaniacs ratted me out’#and then the prophecy was given#and she’s The Oracle. which y’know…give prophecies#on her little scribbled out bio you can kinda make out that it says she’s the smartest one or something of that sort#but that she betrayed bill or something like that (I’m going off of memory)#and so I think she was never really on his side to begin with and was there to learn what he was trying to do#if I’m wrong *DON’T CORRECT ME* 🥺🥺🥺 please HAHA#I’m having a matpat moment 😎 I dunno I just don’t think she would have been on his side#also considering the fact that her name is ‘the Unswerving’#a term that means ‘unwavering’ or ‘steadfast’ and basically implies that she would not change her position on things#so it doesn’t make logical sense to me that she would have been on his side and then switched and then gotten that title?? idk#I just think about her a lot…I love you space fish mom…#just a goofy drawing I did during church 😁

people when they find out goth is actually about loving the death and the gross and not just dyed black hair and fishnets
#started reading flowers in the attic bc of nicole dollanganger (also i knew my mom hates it so i would probably love it)#and its so good the writing feels like a buttery letter it is so hard to put down#im only halfway through so far though#my mom saw it and got super upset bc its a terrible awful evil book#and like its tiring#im so happy slashers and gory movies got normalized bc if everything that made me feel calm was constabtky berated by everyone idbe soworse#also started spending time on other social media sites besides tumblr and it was evil#not putting an essay here but books and art about bad things are allowed to exist#turn the other cheek#goth#gothic literature#complaining

as an adult. how much am i supposed to budget for christmas gifts.
#mine#like. i have four family members. many (close) friends. no real artistic talent (ie i cannot ‘just make’ gifts and also supplies for arts#are also expensive???) for the most part i can get my sister her girlfriend and many of my friends a book and that’s about $20 a person#give or take. but on MYYY wages that’s. still a lot! and i have to get my parents things!! and i’m well past the age of a world’s best dad#mug!! <- well actually he would still love that. but after The Scandal we’re um. we’re done with world’s best dad stuff.#that’s not relevant what’s relevant is like. i want to give awesome gifts and unfortunately awesome gifts are costly. lol!#also if anyone tells me ‘christmas is supposed to be fun not stressful giving gifts is about love not about spending money’ i’ll kill you.#christmas is about capitalism capitalism is a game and i’m gonna win it.#my mom explicitly requested a type of cookbook so at least i have half of her gift#planned. i haven’t bought one yet. lol.

Doodle of my boy
#keese draws#eternal gales#oc art#oc#fydd <3333333333#he is my bestie I need to get over my fear of drawing him so bad#grips bathroom sink I Will get better at drawing for fun and letting my art be messy and being proud of it anyways#but yeah look at him he is so cute and is so silly and he’s never gone through any traumatic events ever I would never#<- lying lier who lies and loves tormenting it’s ocs#but yeah he’s half alien half human but was raised entirely by his human mom#his alien mom is alas stuck in the cult the two met at rip#fydd doesn’t know abt any of that tho he just knows that he has another mom that his mom doesn’t like talking abt#he loves playing games of all kind but especially loves video games and will play them for hours#not that he has much else to do since he’s spent pretty much his entire life living by a garbage dump in the middle of nowhere#and he’s not allowed to go fuck around in the dump much since his mom doesn’t want him to be seen so he’s stuck at home most of the time#thankfully now he has an adopted sister to play with but he still has viddy game autism#his mom has done her best to introduce him to the various cultures she and his other mom came from but she struggles with it#she was quite disconnected from her own culture growing up and she knows limited amount about her girlfriends home planet#fydd doesn’t mind much rn cause he’s 12 but a certain other older fydd might care a smidge more#fydd does like 60% know both japanese and spanish tho so that’s pretty cool#his mom tried to do regular lessons when he was younger but wasn’t able to keep them up consistently and eventually gave up#mostly because she wasn’t anywhere near fluent in either herself and she had a hard time keeping up with how fast fydd would pick up on it#they still have some books from back then laying around that fydd will pick up and read aloud when he’s bored sometimes#he gets bored of speaking english all the time as his brain is built to pick apart different sounds and assign them linguistic meaning#so reading and speaking different languages is good enrichment for him#his mom doesn’t know this unfortunately otherwise she totally would have gotten him more stuff in different languages to chew on#he does get to learn the language the stalien cast speaks tho he has a lot of fun with that#he alas can’t properly experience most stalien video games though rip#I should rly get to redesigning his human mom again at some point she needs it sooo bad#I mean her whole squad needs it but she’s my favorite so like
