if you're a beginner artist feel free to follow a lot of artists for inspiration but be careful because their influence on your art style will be noticable for the next 10 years at the very least

For @loweqxpectations , who asked if I associated any TSC characters and ships with TTPD songs ❤️ keep in mind that the associations are at different parts of their canon, not necessarily at their HEAs! So the Herondaisy Angst is set during the Bracelet Era, etc... (ac for unofficial art @taratjah @skyllowarts @nairafeather

hey, do you have any blog recs??? pls pls 🦄

Heyo!!

Oooh this is a fun question!! I follow a bunch of people for different things so I’ll try my best to summarise by ‘genre’ if that makes sense?? Keep in mind tho a LOT of people I follow post a variety of stuff, so there’ll be plenty of options for whatever you’re interested in!!

There are probably many that I’ve missed but I’ve just woken up so hope this helps!

OC Content:

Wouldn’t be appropriate to not include my beloveds in this: they all make AMAZING characters as well as templates and engaging in tag games that are hella fun! You don’t need to be tagged to do any of them🤍 there are some amazing writers too so check out their work (both written and drawn) cus they’re phenomenal!!

Great news from Velaris!

With the help of the inner circle, now introducing...

THE MAKE VELARIS GREAT AGAIN HAT!

If you want Velaris to keep being a safe haven for you and your loved ones and to keep out anyone who wants to threaten this, get the hat today!

Our High Lord and High Lady approve this message!

🎨: Taratjah

And another photo of our High Lord!

🎨: Charlie Bowater

Our lovely inner circle approves as well!

🎨: Charlie Bowater

Get your Make Velaris Great Again hat today! And remember this, friends! If you're from the night court, the high lord, high lady, and their inner circle care for your safety!

This doesn't go for anyone from Illyria or Hewn City, your life is unimportant compared to the citizens of Velaris! You're just carrion! You'll be used as a sacrifice if it comes to protecting Velaris!

If you don't like how the inner circle does things, you'll get deported! Take the high lady's sister, Nesta Archeron for example! That ungrateful fucking bitch! She spends the high lord's money and gets wasted at bars, goes clubbing with random faeries, and it makes Feyre and Rhysand look bad! And we don't want our high lord and high lady to look bad, now do we?

"WE WILL BUILD A WALL AND MAKE ILLYRIANS PAY FOR IT ALL!" High Lord Rhysand at a press conference!

for the sketch ask - 45, 1007, and 274! (super cool idea btw) (and also no pressure btw)

*rubs hands together* when I had this idea, I knew I wanted to be able to make at least some of them personalized rather than just random poses here and there, but this was the first time it really worked out well that way without fudging it. So 45:

This really looks nothing like the original inspiration art (which was by @taratjah, and saved so many years ago I forget how many.) and the main thing I got from it is the hand holding. I did a sillier initial doodle that sort of looked like Katniss and Peeta in the chariot scene, so I leaned into that for the real thing.

1007:

This was copied more directly from a photo I’d saved from Pinterest even longer ago than the last one, but it seemed so right for you. This one’s a keeper.

274:

This was a free stock photo of a guy in a frankly ridiculous outfit, but I liked the hand gesture, so I improvised a hobbit costume and he turned into Merry.

thanks for playing!

send me a number, explanation here

Biggest acts of some characters:

. Percy falls into Tartarus with Annabeth:

@taratjah - The art belongs to this page

. Anakin becomes an evil person because he didn't want to lose Padme:

. Aladin turns into a snake to be with Jasmine:

. Jack died to save Rose:

. Romeo and Juliet killed themselves to be together:

. Naruto loses control of himself after Hinata is stabbed by Pain:

. Superman becomes a dictator after he accidentally killed his wife and unborn child:

. Wanda became a villain after she lost everything she cared about:

. Draco throws the want to Harry:

. From all the people of his family, Dick chose Jason to join him as a vampire:

If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been drawing digitally? I’m just starting to learn on procreate and if you have any tips on practicing and improving I would love to hear them! Your art style is really lovely, and happy new year!

Hello! Happy New Year to you too🥰

I’ve been drawing digitally since 2016 i think? So it’s been a while. I first used a wacom and paint tool sai, but switched to procreate in 2020 (it took me a while to get used to drawing on an ipad lol).

Anyways, for me the key to improving is to practice a lot, i know everyone says the same thing…but it’s true! I sketch a lot on paper using different reference photos i find interesting. I also use a lot of references for my art in general! It helps me understand better the human body. To practice you can trace them and study them, to understand better how everything works; it doesn’t have to be perfect but just enough for you to get more comfortable drawing! Pinterest is your best friend here lol (i also love using different medias so i dont get tired of drawing digital; like i be sketching with coloured pencils, crayons, watercolours…and sketching people, food, animals….just different things to keep my mind active and creative!!!!)

What I also do is find different artists that i love and take note on how they draw certain things. For example, back when I first started PhantomRin and Taratjah were the first artists i followed and i LOVED how they made everything (of course they have very different artstyles but i took small details and tried adding them to my own style! Same goes to Laia Lopez (itslopez), i love how she draws hair, so i try to draw my hair kind of the way she does. Of course it may or may not look similar, but it’s my own take on that. Idk if any of this make sense. But basically also use other artist as inspiration! (But do not trace their art please!!!)

Also, for sketching I use a bright pink! I think it helps me sketch better than using black or greys hehe but it’s a personal choice! And for line art i use a grainy soft brush instead of a very hard and stiff one. It’s less overwhelming for me.

Now to finish all this, I think for me drawing Shadowhunters art was the thing that inspired me the most. So if you are obsessed with something like me that will help too🤣 draw what inspires you! Sketch a lot! Have fun! Try drawing something or sketching every week (or every day!)

I’m answering this before going to sleep so I really hope any of this make sense lol I’m here to answer any other questions you might have!!! 💞💞💞

9 Characters Tag

@awritingcaitlin tagged me a long time ago--thank you!! This is a new one for me. :)

Rules: Pick nine characters in media that you feel represent you/that you resonate with in some way.

Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows my beloved. People are concerned when I tell them I resonate with him, but. If you ignore the murder and extreme trauma, he's just like me for real 😊

Prince Henry from Red White and Royal Blue! He's a writer. Need I go on.

Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games. HRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH

Elias Veturius from An Ember in the Ashes, art by @/taratjah. I'm insane about him. Talk about leadership thrust upon you, badass weapons, and that tormented soul. Everyone go read these books!

Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson. I have wanted to be her since I was twelve.

Steve Rogers from (vomit) the MCU. I didn't want to resonate with Captain America, but sue me. I am unwell about him <3

Richard Gansey III from the Raven Cycle! Art by @/phantasymistart. I love him.

Hodel from Fiddler on the Roof! Yes, I have spent my entire life tying a scarf around my hair and dancing. She's my favorite :)

Davey Jacobs from Newsies. I don't even know where to start. Older sibling, unwilling leader, sings like a fucking angel. He's so special to me.

Whew! Congrats to anyone who read all of that, you rock. Gentle tags for @sleepy-night-child @reneesbooks @memento-morri-writes and anyone else who'd like to share <3
