I’m super sorry for skipping two prompts for the Stancest Summer and posting this one a few days late 🙇♀️ One of them is smut, which I am super shu about and still working on. The other I just got too busy to draw.
But I wanted to post this one, even if it’s past its due date because this one means alot to me.
So the final prompt for @5summersofstancest was “A Tight-Knit Family” and I dedicate this piece to @donethedevilspedicure. I have been in the Stancest Fandom for a little over 5 years. Maybe more. I’ve seen people come and go and I adored everyone that I could. But it’s a very special thing when you make a close friend in a fandom. I am very glad that I took the time to find a lost Akuroku fic for a certain someone within the Stancest server as a challenge. I never imagined we would get as close as we are now a year later.
The Stancest fandom is a fandom family I am happy to be a part of, no matter how many people I see pass by. And I am especially thankful that it helped awkward little me make a good friend. From making fanart for you, giving you a 2.0 avatar remake, you tuning into my random discord gaming streams and listening to me talk about random shit. I enjoyed it all and more. May we have more years of friendship, Devil.
And I hope other people in the fandom can make a good friend like I have. Here’s to our Grunkles! Until next Summer!
This piece also marks the end of the pencil I’ve been using to draw this entire time. This thing has been through 3 stancest summers and all the fanart I’ve made since starting High-Sixing. It’s time for the lil guy to rest. You did good, Pencil-chan.
#my art#stancest#5summersofstancest#stancest summer 2024#I planned this because Devil was initially thinking they were too sick to join#but then they kicked illness butt and joined anyway#they’re so cool#alright enough affection for them#they get overstimulated if I give too much#…#loveyalotstho#mwuah mwuah#okay truly enough now#oh the other prompts will get filled#now that I have a new pencil to use

Inktober day 9: worry.
I coloured this one, because I recently found out what blending modes do (thanks drawfee!) and I wanted to play around with it :3
[ID in alt text]
#previously when I wanted to colour pencil/ink drawings I would edit it in ps first - but now I know how to use multiply layers!#both options have pros and cons but it does save time and effort. esp because downloading ps on my new laptop has not gone well#Spirited Away#千と千尋の神隠し#Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi#spirited away lin#studio ghibli#described#inktober#inktober2023#danikunst#2#day 9#2023#drawtober

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"
like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like
imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.
i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.
#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result#and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master#but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper-#are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like#i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh#as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible#sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness#so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun#but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps#doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you#not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog#but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog#if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck#but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation-#the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines-#then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST#and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them#because now you have the drive to want to do more#now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing#long post#even longer tags#art#drawing#artists#art advice

Assorted Estinian's drawn from screenshots of the dragoon level 40-50 quests. [please click for better quality]
#thebirdarts#ffxiv estinien#ffxiv art#estinien wyrmblood#i had loads of fun drawing him!#some landscapes also from teh questline in the works#i call this style pencil whos that? its just me and paint roller#ok they have way to many sketch layers for how rough they look#but i just used the paint roller tool but even smaller#several times just devolving to hopefully form showing scribbles for the armour#its my new coping strategy to avoid speedruning artistsic burnout [trying to accurately draw the dragoon armour]#fun fact! because its all black its a bitch to understand whats going of unless your tablet is the brightness of teh sun#but tbh i could have just drawn him out of his armour with the sketches i did for that purpose#but thats scary#hes fused to his helmet#its like midnighters cowl#thst just the charterers face#at least we have a consistant hair colour for estinian tho#one day i will draw estinian not in his armour#for now you just get dragoon armour in diff colours and poses

aesthetic as fuck
#this is less contrived than it looks-- I only pulled the pencil bag out and re-adjusted the sketchbooks slightly#throwing the old (brown) sketchbook down on top of the new one next to my bag just made me go 'oohhhohooh!!!' lmao#IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER#anyway I'm at the end of the current sketchbook so I'm gonna give an old favorite a go#handbook travelogue used to be my go-to but then we moved away from the local store that sold them#and they were a little more expensive to order online so I haven't had one in like... five years?#NOW I'm curious to see how I'm gonna feel because I KNOW I like this sketchbook obviously#but also I've gotten really used to the soft cover and cheap paper (gluing misc stuff in there; taking pages out if I need to make space)#and the wrap-around cover (not the tie which is tbh annoying but the flap which I usually have a pen clipped to...)#WE'LL SEE. I've definitely missed having better paper#and I'm hoping something a little easier to quickly deploy without flaps and cords just kind of in the way will make me use it more#of course if I could find LOOSE!! paper that I actually LIKED maybe I could make my own that covers ALL my desires BUT ALAS#about me

Wine stains on porcelain
(Alternatively: @katkastrofa and I have created 5 OCs in 3 days and I suffer from chronic “I wanna draw the little guysssssss” disease)
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original characters#I have not figured out a tag system yet so for now this is all they’re getting#their names are liba and abyan and I’m very much obsessed :)#they’re the children of two of our other newest OCs. Himman and Summiya#the latter of whom just happens to be Zaheer’s older sister#but he ran away from home years before these two were born so he most likely isn’t even aware of their existence#I mean. I’m sure he suspects his sisters had children. but that’s the extent of what he knows#anyway#quite a few headcanons came to mind as I was drawing so I’m gonna type them out while I can still function#(haven’t slept for two nights in a row. I’m starting to doubt whether I’m actually alive or not)#Liba is older by about a year but once they grow up a little it’s barely noticeable and people assume they’re twins#over time they stop bothering to correct them because really. they’re so close they might as well be#they were both burn with port wine stain birthmarks on their faces. much to their mother’s dismay#she has a whole perfectionism complex and needed her children to reflect that to maintain the family image#thus they were taught how to hide the marks early on. but the powder makes them constantly sneeze#liba is very self conscious about it bc of what her mother put in her head. Abyan less so bc while he’s expected to be perfect#his future doesn’t depend on his looks. he always tries to comfort his sister whenever she spirals too deep. no matter that she’s older#when no one is around to hear he calls her Lili <3 it annoyed her at first so she dubbed him Yanyan in retaliation#but over time they both grew to love the nicknames and now use them unironically#they’re the ultimate partners in crime. their goal? gaining as much freedom from their mother as possible#and sooner or later they will manage to do so permanently. which will make Summiya fall apart. but that is currently Kat’s domain#speaking of. hi Kat. I know you’ve already seen this in pencil but look! I coloured them!!#the birthmarks were both kinda annoying and rather fun to do. maybe I’ll change them later. I was too tired to look at refs so I improvised#and there’s no detail in clothing since again. 0 energy whatsoever. but once I refine their full body designs I shall go all out#that reminds me I need to go collect my new sketchbook. might do it on the way home from the store#okay I’m getting distracted. is this my very unsubtle way of trying to influence Kat to write that Summiya fic?#maybe. maybe not. you can’t prove anything 😁

Decided I want to learn to draw trains so I downloaded a free drawing app and a picture of a train so I could trace it and get used to the motions and shapes :)
#I now have an 1870s train outlined in pink ^_^#I’m going to retrace the train tomorrow and maybe I’ll be a little steadier#this is fun! I get why people learn to draw now!#I’m going to have to get a new grip for my apple pencil because it’s not doing my wretched hypermobile fingers any favors#like just in general since I use this thing to take notes for class too
