Anyone out there got a solution for when you're feeling really stuck with your art and everyone and their mother tells you the solution is to do studies and figure drawings and other such things but even just thinking about doing those things makes you Spiral and want to Kill Yourself?

#monster noises #it's 1am no one will see this it's fine #it's a genuine problem though i Wish i could be aotherfucker who found it engaging and satisfying to do figure drawing #but i both A) had some bad experiences with this type of learning in highschool that i guess kinda make them triggering for me i guess?#and B) my brain doesn't seem to be able to like.. Learn Things.... That Way.... or at least not Obviously #i mean obviously i've improved as an artist over time in general #and i won't lie and say i've Never done figure drawing or studies or anything #but i never leave those situations feeling like i've Learned anything #mostly i've just sat for several hours growing increasinglyore frustrated #at my limitations and inability to achieve what i feel should come to me intuatively #and even if i Did feel like i've learned something i can seemingly never turn around and then apply it to something else #my brain does not make those lateral connections #it's why i can't do word problems in math.#and plus i also find stuff like figure drawing especially Rarely helps me make progress on the parts of my work i Actually want to improve #fluidity/mobility/stylization and surrealism #and only reinforces practices i want to pull away from #realism/'correctness'#all this combined leaves me just kinda stuck because i really can't power through my fear of these practicing methods #because i also don't find them useful #but i have no alternatives because it's like.. the only thing anyone suggests because theoretically is Does Work #but just not when you're Specifically Busted like I'm Busted #and so I just continue to stagnate until idk.. i find something else that can abruptly and suddenly launch me forward again?.#augh.. being an artist is The Most Enjoyable (_=<=)_

OOC post for a sec: I hope the anon who sent me the motor carriage ask yesterday understands what they've done to me. I've been researching cars for the last four hours and I think I might have to invent a brand new steering system just to explain how the Kineema works

#My stupid ass when fantasy does fantasy things instead of being based on realism:#Seriously #The fact that at least one of the levers is clutch and it has an accelerator pedal with no other visible ways to steer #implies to me that maybe it's clutch-brake steering or differential steering #but a) miracle of sound music video has the wheels turning <- i will be ignoring this in my model #and b) clutch-brake steering is kind of shit esp for a car esp for a SPORTS car #Maybe if I use enough buzzwords and jargon nobody will understand anything I'm saying #not even me #and then I won't have to make sure it's all correct enough.#Either way I have a basic idea of how I'll make it work so #ooc

just had possibly the worst nightmare of my life. yippee ^-^ <- is so horrified they are numb

#the contents of it were not rly ''that bad'' (?) but the realistic aspect of it is the terrifying thing for me #haha that moment when ur mother is into alternative health/diet and she makes u drink a bit of bleach #bc she convinces you that you're crazy and dismissive for ever thinking that cleaning fluids are Always and Only bad to drink.#so u drink a little bit of it to get her off ur back and bc u feel bad and crazy for dismissing it entirely #and then u start dying a few minutes later ^-^#and she gets angry at you for crying and ''rushing'' your dad when he drags his feet getting u all to the hospital ^-^#meanwhile she is also very obviously dying but she is so convinced that she is correct abt her ''research'' that she refuses to admit it!#very cool ^-^#and by very cool i mean this has been added to the collection of nightmares that haunts me for the my life!#and is going to be one of the kind that make it very difficult for me to be around my mother for the next few days before i shake it off!#it is mainly just upsetting how realistic that all is. like all that Could happen so easily its insane. what the fuck !!!#i feel like the contents were not that bad but idk honestly. like. yeah it was bad but I've had much worse ?#its mainly the realism that's making it So bad for me #anyways i dont really want to go back to sleep fhfhdksl but I'll have gotten three hours of sleep if i dont #and um. i need more sleep SBFBDKL #urghhhh i should try to sleep more probably. i dont generally have worse nightmares when i go back to sleep after a bad one #sometimes i do ! but not usually fbfjdl i guess i shall risk it #abuse tw #death tw #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #ask to tag

None of it is posted here but looking at my art from end of last year/start of this year of my bg3 OC and shaking my fist aggressively over the fact I'm getting too attached to moving towards realism.

anyway, here's Kettle & dnd!Antyllus from 02-Oct-23

#personal #my ocs #my art #oc: Basil Commonkettle #oc: JS Antyllus #there is a satisfaction in going into your old art files and still wanting to chew ur old art #like ah yes I cooked here and there #Kettle is so so cartoony to draw like I cannot draw that guy in a sprinkling of realism way like I can with Antyllus #and while it limits me in some regard good god does it mean I can make him quite expressive #pros n cons pros n cons #now if only I could distill fnv charas to play with like that #*corrected the date to 23 not 24 omg #I write the date on things all day you'd think I'd get it correct when backdating

fanfic authors are the realest bc they go "lmao do you know what would be soooo fucked up" and then proceed to bang their blorbos on the head with a cast iron for sixty chapters straight

#whump authors who have just the correct amount of angst + realism are my favorite people on earth #like YES FUCK UP MY FAV AND GIMME THE HURT COMFORT but ALSO MAKE IT BELIEVABLE #and there are so many of you who pull it off!!#y'all know the recipe fr fr fr

Drawing rottmnt fanart always feels so weird because I like to draw more realistically but. You cannot draw those turtles realistically without changing so much about their designs otherwise they will look horrifying. And since I don't want to completely redesign them I copy the show's style to a degree which strangly? feels like I'm cheating? That's not at all how it works I know this I guess I'm just not used to drawing in more simple styles.

#when i decided to seriously learn how to draw I decided I would NOT draw in any anime or chibi or anything like that styles because I wanted #to build my technical and anatomical skills before i started fucking around with easier styles #but now i just like semi realism because i want to display people how people are. i still have work to do with that but styles like #wolfythewitch's and disco elysium's are a big inspiration to me #so i guess whenever i go back to simple stuff like the rise style it feels weird.#when i was first a rise fan that style was actually more realistic and anatomically correct than the way i was drawing before because #I wasn't as good back then but now it feels like a step down lol #op #rottmnt #art

that disney+ peter pan and wendy trailer looks monochromatic and boring as hell. i say this as both a hater and a peter pan connoisseur. lost girls exist (bad And wrong). costumes look just ok. where's the whimsy? why is every color in that trailer some uglyass shade of green and brown? mary blair did Not paint dozens of works of art for the 1953 production of peter pan just for its next gen disney reimagining to be this bland. and ugly. i simply must reiterate how Butt Ugly it looks.

#im not even gonna get into how there's lost girls and that goes against one of the biggest aspects of the story #also sorry that yara shahidi is getting hate for playing tinkerbell. she doesnt deserve that #unfortunately she's in a color by numbers green tinted cgi hellscape of a disney remake and i cant help her #the Only thing i'll give 'em is that the lost boy hideaway is cool looking. but 2003 did it better idc #i'm just. so annoyed about the lost girls (who are canonically too clever to fall out of their prams and get sent to neverland duh)#god i am such a hater but that trailer looked Ugly. just color scheme wise. it looks uglyyyy #idk if they were going for a touch of gritty realism and a more 'big kid' take on the story #but when you think 'neverland' i really doubt youre thinking greyish green and yellowish blue and dirt brown #who did the color correction? i just wanna talk #and if its a remake of their 50s cartoon version why abandon all the Color?#peter pan #peter pan and wendy #rambles #i was honestly going into that trailer with an open mind and i can forgive a lot. but i cant unsee an ugly color scheme

Ive decided trying to draw foreshortening in realism is hell actually

#GRRRRRRRR #BAKR BAKR BARK BARK #BARK BARK BARK BARK #im ok now #i havent done realism in so long so its tricky. i like semi realism and cartoony best but i feel its always good to go back and try realism #to get like. your practice in on anatomy and how things look realistically and then apply it to semi realism or cartoony by exaterating #so its still looks like. anatomically correct in the style its in #which is a big deal to me for my art i like it to flow well as a whole #i like gesture drawings bc of that cuz most of them have the whole body #mostly in motion and you can see how the muscles in the arms and legs stretch with the torso bc the whole thing about gesture drawings is #theyre usually quite exatterated (idk how to spell exatturated sorry :( ) so its usually stretching a whole multitude of different muscles #throughout wherever the motion is coming from and going through: arching your back down to the ground is going to be using some muscles #in both your legs and arms #am i making sense #your bodily anatomy is like a puppet and once you put the pieces together in your head on how to draw them you need to string them together #in harmonic motion #i miht bw making no sense but whatever #my silly ass that hardly does gesture drawings with a reference which i Should. doing a whole ass rant on acurate anatomy smh #but i understand it #somewhat #keep in mind everything im saying here is just for me about my art and about what i want in my art. dont think im sounding nitpicky of how #art should be #im just rnating abt my approach to it #ANWAY ill shut up now #i think i went down several different rabbits trails here

hey! this is chance & here’s this week’s prompt. what websites or resources do you use while you write or develop a character/story? what do you think of them and would you recommend them?

This is a really good and interesting question!

Most of it is actually based on what I come up with on my own story whise, whenever I don't know what story or interests to give a character I usually brainstorm a few ideas I havent used yet to find what fits best.

For character design I usually take different kinds of animals and reference them for looks and color palettes (The funny fella in my pfp was based off of a bearded vulture for example), I go on Pinterest for these as there's lots of material to work with and some really nice pictures as well.

However if a character is heavily affected by something or has gone trough some form of trauma I use multiple medical websites and sources to be as accurate as possible since these kinds of subjects are rather delicate and complex to tackle, wikipedia is handy but the more correct information the better (an example of this is this silly little mossfly here)

Regarding the sources themselves id say Pinterest is good for color palettes or designs, while for stuff related to physical traits or mental health related information wikipedia is a good basis but more websites should be integrated in this kind of research to get a better understanding

#corn's ramblings #id love to go on regarding art tutorials or tips but it would be a bit out there shdbsbf #to make it brief i reference those but never copy step per step #some can be really good guides but practice is needed as well #thus id suggest to treat them like references depending on what the person prefers to use #I've seen lots of discourse regarding the fact that most of them only tackle specific stiles and realism or are just checkmarks on what #to do and what not to #So the reference treatment is my go to since I tend to use more realistic proportions but i think it depends on the stile someone prefers #also just realized I misspelled “Style” a bunch of times but I don't really feel like correcting myself at the moment hsfndn #ask answered

hi <3 i remember i was obsessed w this test a couple of years ago and asked all of my friends to take it so we could compare results. Now that it's back on my dash it seems silly not to ask the moots to take it too (if you want to ofc)

AAAH i love tests!!!!!

you might say... i'm a dreamer
