#my mom loved art books

[charcoaldustonmyfingers]

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 :)

Various doodles of the Dorito Twins.

I just like to play with them like dolls and put them into situations.

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.

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.

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 !!!!!!!

I have a really funny concept for an Azula reverse self ship (because I can't make a regular self insert work with her), and I'm trying to decide if it'd be funnier to make her a History RPF girlie or if the reason Zuko had to sit through Ember Island player's butchering Love Amongst the Dragons was because Azula had a massive crush on one of the characters and DEMANDED they went to see it every year.

Im in love with the way you draw clothing!! Love how you use lots of sharp lines and yet you make it look nice and fluid!!! and i specially love how you draw armor!! if I may ask, how do you approach drawing those? ;o; and do you have some tips on how to approach it? totally cool if you don’t feel comfy with that tho! hope you’re doing great!! c:

hi! this took awhile because it's hard for me to explain how i draw fabrics, i just kind of do it ha. i'll try to explain though!

i think about fabric materials, tension points, and the fact that fabric usually folds in triangle or V patterns. that last point is why i find fabric so fun to draw! you can have a really angular and/or sharp style, but that's how clothes fold anyway :) i also drew a quick comparison of the way a heavy fabric like wool and a light gossamer fall bc of their weight/thicknesses.

NOW WITH ARMOR. with armor. <3

i'm using this piece as an example. on the left was the moodboard of armor I made for that. mostly i reference 16th c armor found in the holy roman empire, but some english armor slips in there too. i also really like how japanese armor comes together, especially maru do chestplates. because i'm a fantasy artist, and started as one, i ignore reality when it's convienent in the sake of armor looking cool. i like armor looking nice and shiny so i color it like silver: really dark against really light. etchings and engravings on armor are delicate, so i try to get that accross too. honestly i learned a lot about how i wanted armor to look by playing dark souls 3, ha
