Watch me paint what’s in the red box on Art School Live on Tuesday at noon EST!

for all people who are no longer at school but dark academia is their poison... go to that cafe and sit there mysteriously, reading russian reaslists. drink wine and recite poetry, if only to yourself. damn, learn latin. seize the circumstances. hold them hostage in an art gallery.

“In a letter to a patron he complained that he could not finish a still life that was to include a yellow rose until that flower blossomed the following spring.”

Help me get a dog?

I recently got a job and I’m not making enough money yet to pay for my apartments pet expenses except for their pet rent.

I really want to get a dog so very much and I’m taking donations and/or commissions at a very discounted rate!

And lots of others.

Skills I Lack:

Mecha, I can try but I’ve never done it before.

NSFW Guidelines.

No rape or gore.

No scat, watersports, or other bodily wastes.

No underage. Aged-up characters are fine, though.

The following fetishes are no: Inflation/Expansion, Transformation, and ABDD/DDlg/DDlb or anything to do with baby fetishes.

All other kinks, like feet and the like are fine.

And obviously this stuff won’t be posted on tumblr due to their new guidelines.

Other Services?

I can also do voice acting commissions, doll customs, and writing commissions. Same NSFW rules apply.

Voices I can do range from high pitched and sweet to low and gruff. I know you undertale nerds love a good voice acting thing (I know I do) and I can do voices for just about every adult female character and all the children characters too. Maybe Flowey if I try real hard.

I could probably voice Alice Angel for Bendy fans?

Really just ask.

How did you find your artstyle? Are you still experimenting?

to be honest, i'm still in the process of trying to find mine, which im getting closer, as for how, i guess you'd pick a kind of style you'd like. For example, would you want it to be more cartoony, more reaslistic, more on the anime side, minimalist, complex, like what kind of mood or vibe you want you art to convey. it's this and also finding a way to draw that you're most comfortable with, though you can always stray away and try something new.

Sorry, I’m hijacking 😅 No expert but just some things that have helped me/I remember from art school.

First and foremost I’d say you should find something you want to draw. It’s supposed to be enjoyable! Maybe there’s a character that got you inspired, try copy that (you do learn things from copying) to the best of your ability. And I agree, more cartoony/animated characters are easier to start with (at least to copy cause I struggle with stylized styles...). Even if you think it’s bad, it’s practice, so just keep going 💪

1. References, allllll those references! Make use of them! Check out google, Pinterest (can be really good for references) and other places. Unsplash is one of those sites where you can download pictures for free. You can also make your own references as mentioned.

2. Research/art study, try and read up on colour theory, composition and other sorts. Like what does the type of format you choose do to the full picture? How can you make the illusion of perspective? You can also carefully watch how an artist you like draw/paint something step by step. Maybe they’ve got a different technique at one step that you didn’t know of yourself? Also look at general arts and study how they’ve used colour and pencil strokes, and how it all factor in on the full composition.

This includes figuring out what art medium works on what paper/canvas, cause as Ikol (sorry I don’t know what to call you ;-;) says, it really can make a difference! Like with markers? Some markers bleed onto the paper depending on what paper and marker you use. There are also tools which make smudging easier depending on your medium.

3. Studies, do “studies” of the things you want to improve on. You find noses hard? Make a collection of pics of noses from different angles (and different lighting possibly), and strip them down to basic forms and add to them (if you want to try more reaslistic or semi realistic). See how the different components interact with each other and how it can change from nose to nose. I feel like it can be good to have three base shades, base, highlight and shade (you really can make a good illusion of shape just by using highlights and shading).

You also should make practice patches for the medium you have first. Like with markers? See what difference different pressures make? How easy it is to make clean lines. How to blend and so on.

Generally, a tip is to draw lightly until you find the exact line/shape you want and draw harder onto that. Unless you’re one who’s just naturally talented and get each line perfect. Practice with pens seems to be good practice, cause you can’t erase anything and you’ll start put more consideration into each line that you make. There are different practices like, quick sketching, where you give yourself 30sec, 1 min, 3 min to draw something. Also silhouette drawing. Aaaaand much more

Good luck arting ✨💪 🎨 and have fun with it!

What kind of fancy markers did you buy? Can we see? My boyfriend bought me some pretty cool pastel markers for our anniversary! Now I just need to learn how to use them, it's been years since I last drew with any traditional means... Any advise for beginners?

I ordered a set of these!

My country is still in lockdown so I had to get them online. They'll be here in a few days.

My advise would probably be to use as many references as you can find. I sometimes pose for a drawing myself so I get the anatomy (and the hands lmao) right. For me it was easier starting with more cartoony styles (and drawing animated characters) to get a feel for it before moving on to finding my own style and drawing more realistic proportions.

Good paper and a good eraser can also go a long way! Nothing more frustrating than not being able to get one part of an otherwise great drawing right and tearing your paper while erasing 😭

And then it's just practice, practice, practice (I FILLED my school notes with doodles lmao. If I saved those I would probably be able to show you a few thousand Lokis and Zukos 😂)
