#so absolutely in love with your art style !!!!!!

[acid-ixx]

— masterlist !

amazing art made by @questionthegrapevine. i'm posting it through my account rather than reblogging so you can gain more traction! hope u don't mind ^^ !

Transcript from original posts read: This is my oc for again & again by @.acid-ixx

I honestly did this to experiment art styles (and the series has me in a choke hold but let's ignore that-)

His name is either Ethan or Emile (dead name Emily so Emile became a choice). He likes wearing red Because blood brings comfort :D. He only wears the jacket because he didn't wanna worry Alfred (Alfred knows anyway)

I would've tried more but this was just experimentation so... yay (You can tell I truly gave up when I was drawing the jacket)

(Btw the shirt says "your mother" in auslan, courtesy of a friend)

Second Picture: I practiced facial expressions with my boy! I'm not very good at expressions. Or keeping a consistent artstyle... Eh.

You can tell I got lazier in the second row. I still haven't actually decided a name for him. I'm also working on another artwork (one where I actually try) but I need the author of again&again to answer my ask. If he doesn't, I'll just wing it (That's a pun but it doesn't make sense until I actually post the artwork). I hope I don't lose my sanity with the next one!

tysm for sending this in... i love it and the design!!! you should be an animator since the artstyle reminds me so much of my adventures with superman! he's so absolutely gorgeous, so baby and this is one of the few masc representing mc portrayals i've received and he's absolutely gorgeous!!! i feel like, through my soul, his name would be emile. it just reminds me of me being filipino idk... also, the your mother joke shirt design makes me want to cry comedically because if the mc actually moved on from losing their mother, the next best thing they'll do to cope is through your mom jokes and that's what your portrayal perfectly defines! 😭

again, ilyy for sending this in! and sorry for the late reply :(( this was buried in my notifications and i only found it when i dug through it... argh he's very handsome and i love the ftm portrayal of my mc! makes the angst even worse because they only know you through your dead name and that's only if and only if they actually know what your dead name is...

I love your artstyle!! Do you have any tips for drawing?

thank you so much! i'm really happy you like it!!💗 as for tips, what i would say would change drastically depending on what kind you're looking for, but some very general ones:

draw what you love and want to see most, regardless of whether anyone else wants to see it. if you don't enjoy what you're drawing it'll never come out as good or genuine as something your whole heart and soul is in. i mean you'd think this would be a no-brainer but sometimes i've had to sit back and ask myself 'if no one was ever going to see this except me, would i actually spend time drawing this?' and i was surprised by the answer

that said, it is also completely valid if your motivation for drawing is to draw for other people! there have been plenty of times where i was too artblocked to draw my own ideas but was still able to draw commissions or gifts and enjoyed it simply because making other people happy with my art makes me happy.

don't get too caught up in having a consistent art style. in my experience this 1000% hinders you

having your sense of anatomy degrade over time without you noticing because you keep drawing the same types of characters is a very real thing! if this is a concern to you be sure to draw a variety

follow a billion artists that you like the art of and you will have endless inspiration injected directly into your brain every time you open social media

my favourite practical tip for those who draw at a desk: keep a small mirror next to you at all times. absolute game changer for quickly referencing hands

if you're drawing digitally, make the canvas huge! in my experience this lets you draw messier/faster and you can't tell at all when you zoom out. if you tend to get stuck spending unnecessary amounts of time micromanaging pixels (me💀) keep it zoomed out while drawing

related to the above point, messy drawings can have far more expressiveness in them than neat and polished drawings. nowadays i never do lineart and go straight from 'barebones stickman pose' to 'varying-levels-of-coherent sketch' and use that as my lineart. sweet freedom from the sketch-looks-better-than-the-lineart phenomenon

if your goal is to improve, then you really do have to scrutinize your art, figure out what you're not satisfied with, and commit the time to focusing on it. 'practice makes perfect' kinda rubs me the wrong way because of how much i've seen it interpreted as 'just draw everyday and you'll magically improve' but genuinely it won't get you very far if you don't actively think hard about what you're trying to improve and take the steps to do it. is this a hot take idk. also hand in hand with this, not every artist is trying to improve and you shouldn't feel bad for this! maybe you just wanna make a little headshot doodle of your fave blorbo and that's your only drawing goal ever. awesome. maybe you know your art has flaws but it's passable enough to convey what you want and you're perfectly satisfied with that. (this is the stage i'm usually at). also awesome!

don't hesitate to draw something because you think it's out of your skill level. the worst that can happen if you draw it is that it comes out terribly but you learned something and can always redraw it better in the future. the worst that WILL happen if you don't draw it is that you'll never draw it. and then it will sit in the back of your brain haunting you for years. it's not like i'm speaking from experience or anything aha

look up 'hand stretches for artists' and do them if you draw a lot unless you wish to summon the wrath of the carpal tunnel demons

of course, these may not necessarily work for you, and most importantly(!) these are coming from the perspective of someone who is primarily a hobbyist. some of this won't be practical for people who need to build an audience, maintain a consistent style for work, etc. these are just things that have personally helped me over many years of drawing :)

[mysticalcats]

Evil sliver saint gift :3

(She’s gonna ascend you)

I tried to translate your designs into my style, hopefully it still looks right! I love drawing silly little guys with crazed expressions lol. Your story is so good, and I love the new banner! Very cinematic I sure do hope Sliver doesn’t kill everyone lmao

RVOWBDOFNEBUW FANART YOOOO

Im eating thos. Going absolutely feral over it. The design works great with your style btw, I can't imagine what wouldn't work.

But just oh my gosh more fanart! Love how this silly au of mine that started as a joke quickly became not a joke and now it's a full fledged askblog.

God I love your art so much mushroom

[j3st3rclown]

HII!!! I love your art and I’d absolutely love to see EJ and clockwork in your style? As besties or tiny seperate sketches of them? 🙏

hell yea love these two.. also back to drawing. the several month long hiatus was not planned but i had to focus on school o7 free now though so i will try to post a bit more frequently lmao.

[morningstarwrites]

HI I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ART AND IM SO OBSESSED WITH OF SAINTS AND SINNERS (Definitely not about to go reread it for the 100th time)

Do you do traditional art? Or do you just do digital

Anyway, bye! Can’t wait for the next chapter!! :D

OHHH THANK YOU 😭 so nice of you to leave me this lovely message! And yay, I love when ppl reread <3

I prefer digital art - like, you just need to have one art program, everything's organized on your computer, so it's way more streamlined. and you can draw cartoony, anime-style drawings with digital, which I like!

RE: traditional, I practised life drawing with live models for a few months, but you need drawing easels, giant sketch pads (I think it was A1 size), charcoal etc. the supplies are just so expensive and it was cluttering up my room! so I stopped going;;

JACKOJESTERLOPE

PHEEBS!!!!!! What an absolutely delightful surprise to start my day with omg!!!! This outfit and the color choices are SO GREAT!!!!! So cute! I’m just blown away by how precious this is. I really love the detail in the eyes, and omg that bell on the long lop ear and the different pattern stockings!!! The colors!!! I’m sorry for sitting here and essentially just pointing at every little thing like a toddler, but I just!! Cannot get over all the little details.

Your art is, as always, incredible. Your style is so bouncy and fun, it makes me feel joy just from looking at it. Plus the title, jackojesterlope made me giggle. This is just so awesome. Trying to find words has me like

Just?!? Thank you so much?!?!? I feel simultaneously gobsmacked and so blessed lol

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

matching Hilda-themed icons for the season for me and my friend :] i've been posting some hilda-fanart on other platforms for a bit now- but don't usually dare to post the more self-indulgent stuff... that's what this blog is for tho, right? :D so yea- here's my friend depicted as a sort of more vampiric marra, and me as- well, a ghost! i tried to originally make myself as a troll- but it was really hard to get any human likeness to the character :'D (and the friend in question suggested a ghost instead) so- spooky ghost it is! season's greetings, spooky season! >:]
