when you can feel your brain start to slowly and menacingly shift to another hyperfixation, but you're not nearly done enjoying your current one, yet alas, there's no way to stop this wheel from moving onward, so you're on your knees pleading with your brain like:

Hey, I recently came across your Tumblr and really liked the style of your sketches, specifically the Arthur Morgan ones as I am a big RDR fan. I have been trying to practice sketching the last couple of months but find it really difficult and demoralizing at times. Could you please give me some advice? (Also, sorry for the question as you probably don't usually get these kinds of questions) :)

Hi! I get a few of these questions once in a while back when Tumblr had its heyday and I welcome them each time so no worries. And I'm glad you like my Arthur sketches :) I've been meaning to draw him again.

Anyway, about dem tips:

My advise to you is that try to simplefy what you want to sketch at first before you go over the details. Everything is composed of shapes like, for instance, a dog's head has a circle and triangles for ears and a rectangle for the snout. Draw the shapes before you form your drawing. The details are meant to be enjoyed later rather than be stressed about right at the start.

Another tip is that try to determine the shadows and lighting first. Contrast makes a big difference. The more cotrast there is, the clearer your sketch gets. So don't be afraid to darken the very darks and leave the brightest blank.

Also, repetition with thought makes perfect. It's another phrase for "practice makes perfect" but a lot of people miss the point and just do repetition without thinking what should be improved so that the next sketch can be better. You need to think how the sketch is better or worse and how to improve it before you draw again to make a better version. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, you win some you lose some.

Lastly, take your time. I've had a problem with rushing over the years but I realized it's always better to savor the slow process. The slower you get, the more ideas you have on how to improve your sketch. It's always worthwhile in the end.

These tips are not as extensive as I would've liked but I hope they help.

I think fanartists are underrated.

Art/Painting/coloring/drawing/ Whatever the heck you’re doing is not something everyone is born with a talent for. You take how many hours out of your day just to do and then even tho it doesn’t look the best it’s your best. It’s a learning process. No matter how long it takes, it’s still something that’s gonna put you closer to your goal, or looking better in your own eyes.

Fan art is something that neve ceases to amaze me. That person had taken even more out of their day just to draw one specific person/thing. I cannot tell you how long it’s taking me to actually draw one person. It is not easy, and it’s harder to adapt to different people if you’re doing multiple at a time. Fanartists should be appreciated more: even if the fan art isn’t the best, it’s the best they can give the fandom so far. It’s one step closer to meeting their goal and when they post it, it may end up being the fandoms favorite and most treasured fan art.
