Finally, after at LEAST a month of puttering around with it, my design for the King In Yellow!
#malevolent#fanart#King in Yellow#Arthur Lester#john doe Malevolent#I LOVED DRAWING THIS AND THEN#I lost steam on it#as I got deeper into designing other characters#and practicing mignolas style#so just finished these paintings off and calling them finished#a lot bothers me about them but overall still like them a ton!!#john's design in particular has changed a lot in my mind#since I drew these initially#but fah#enjoy!#malevolent spoilers#spoilers#ep 20

Realized I never shared these drawings from a few months ago. Liquidator is probably the one I’ve had the hardest time figuring out so I did some study’s of him awhile back.
#darkwing duck#liquidator#my art#the Negaduck comics have helped me a ton with likky as you can tell from the panel I was referencing#you think he’d be simple since he is a very simple design but it’s very deceptive#he has very simple shapes and not much detail. along with being very flexible and also water it’s hard to make him look right#which is also still silly because he can be any shape#I’m probably out of practice again by now but idk I think I got him down pretty good when I did these

katara sees her brother and bff approaching something that can make them happy and says no interruptions
based on this photo from the live action cast
#my art#i learned SO MUCH about digital coloring while working on this. i can’t wait to try to put it to practice from the start and on purpose#instead of stumbling upon leagues of info when i was already 95% done lol#anyways#zukka#idc about tagging rn tbh i’m tired#fuck backgrounds dude#hate that shit#i need to do lighting studies fr tho#i can’t do interesting light i just. don’t have the knowledge#makes me sad cuz lighting really makes or breaks pieces it seems#also lol i started this then stopped for like two hours and just sketched katara a fuck ton#what i landed on here isn’t my favorite but i liked the soft + gently amused emotion she’s showing#ok whatever i’m done rambling#post

Absolutely stunning post-mortem daguerreotype of a young man with killer cheekbones and haunting eyes, c. 1850
#his corneas are clouding over and his gaze is vacant but it looks like someone may have applied a little makeup to help him look his best#he was loved and his likeness preserved for the rest of his loved ones’ lives—and for internet strangers 174 years later#image edited for contrast please refer solely to seller’s pics if purchasing#19th century#1800s#1850s#19th century fashion#historical fashion#fashion history#1850s fashion#post-mortem#historical photography#daguerreotype#let me add that almost all open-eyed “post-mortem” photography on ebay is very obviously… pre-mortem#listen lots of people just look dead-eyed in photographs even now when we’ve all got tons of practice and endless chances to retake#but this is legit—and what an incredible piece! if I were made of money/my own museum/etc…

MDZS x Warrior Cats AU (part 1): That boy can meow!
Names and a huge inspiration credits to @clintbeefwoods!
(part 2)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#mdzs warrior cats au#wei wuxian#mo xuanyu#little apple#lan wangji#lan wunian#If you thought for a second I wouldn't find a way to keep littlewang in this au#then you have severely underestimated my horse yuri powers.#The start of the Warrior cats AU begins! Yes the clans are somewhat the same but the lore *has* shifted to better suit mdzs canon.#For one: Cross clan apprentice training is an option. Gusu school arc is still a school arc.#wwx would have a blast pouncing on lwj's Too Long Tail He Has Yet To Grow Into.#(Its very important to me that lwj/bluepaw has those kittenish big ears).#I will probably circle back to drawing teenxian apprentice antics after I get through the cast.#I had to put myself into a cat drawing boot camp for this AU (despite my sona being a cat I...actually don't really know how to draw one).#and I feel like I learned a lot + need a lot more practice...however this *is* the practice! It's for fun!#I'll be alternating comics and AU stuff this month! happy chatember!#Clintbeefwoods has put a ton of work into this AU and I am so excited to show it off!

hi i ride motorcycle year round and wanted to chime in. for vasco's small around-town trips he'd probably be fine with his ears free, but for longer trips at higher speeds or when its cold out he'd want them protected. probably by tucking them under his chin into the collar of a jacket and then putting a scarf or bandana on. also goggles would be helpful if a full helmet wasn't wanted. since they're in europe and around italy specifically he could have a nice ducati (fast rockety sport bikes) or a cafe racer (much more like a motorized bicycle but they can still have a lot of power) a cafe racer would offer a lot of seat space for machete to be thoroughly uncomfortable in lol
i love your ocs they're great thanks for all the cool art :)
.
#oh that's really good practical advice actually! I've never riden a motorcycle so I wouldn't even know where to begin#the ears tucked under the jacket collar is a smart way to go about it#having hard time choosing a bike for him there's too many options#it looks like lots of ducatis have a very sleek and sporty vibe to them#loving the bright colors and the shapely design#cafe racers on the other hand come across as iconic looking to me and could potentially have a sort of vintage aura which I personally like#and the flat topline (I'm sorry I don't possess the right vocabulary for these things) that some of them have is visually pleasing#they'd be a nightmare to draw though since the frame is a lot less covered and there's a ton of complex mechanical detail in the midsection#bike viscera if you will#I don't know but it's fun to think about#thank you for chiming in! this was genuinely helpful#answered#anonymous#modern au

I think that it's very funny that Luffy is kinda universally loved throughout the OP fandom but I've never met a writer who hasn't struggled to high hell trying to write his POV. I've noticed that you don't see a lot of fics from his pov, and if he does have one, it's usually only a small section. It's so hard to get into this guy's head. Something complexity in simplicity something.
#one piece#luffy#monkey d. luffy#ammotalks#luffy feels like one of those characters that even if you understand him#you still cant explain or predicte him#well#without a lot of practice at least#also if there turns out to be a lot of luffy pov fics that are either hidding from me or somewhere i dont go#them dont @ me plz#this is just what ive notice while reading a fuck ton of fics#and seeing authors say over anf over how hard luffy is to write

What’s funny to me is that I was pulling my 20 for 20 sale images to actually post to Instagram and I get noticeably better at pet portraits as I’ve continued, just like. Dang. It’s almost like practice continues to have tangible benefits….
#ramblies#art practice#wild#it’s also helped in the process that I block out landmarks now before I start painting which saves a ton of time#but still massive improvement#I have a cat one on the docket that I’m excited about#the lighting is so lovely and soft

Guys I just received my first dress 🥺
It's one of my teacher's dresses!! If I recall correctly, it should be her second dress and it brought her so much luck!!! The season she wore it, she and her partner won every single competition they took part in.
My mom said she was so proud of my progress that she decided to buy it from my teacher as a gift 🥺🥺🥺
I'm beyond honored to have the opportunity to let that dress shine on the dance floor and beyond grateful for my mother's support in everything I do
#teach says#danceposting#next month there will be a grand gala organized by the school and ill get to wear my new dress even if im technically not allowed to yet 🥺#either i buy new shoes or ill have to wear my old black pair!#the dress is black and the most gorgeous shade of green!!!!#so sparkly and then it has tons of accessories!!!!!!!!!!!#i must immediately start practicing a wet set to go with it or my hair will look goofy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#kinda wanna post a picture and brag about it honestly#like yes you could potentially see the most wonderful ballroom dance dress youve ever seen if you just asked.....................#ok im being cocky sorry im just really excited#might post a picture for real just for funsies#kinda fearing the doxx since its such a unique dress but as the old ones used to say:#yolo

Hiiii not sure if anyone's asked this yet but any advice on how to improve on art & anatomy? I use to draw a lot wayyyy back in high school but then stopped because of life getting in the way but now I really wanted to get back into art but realized my art isn't as good as it use to be & I never really cared too much about studying anatomy so all my anatomy/proportions are really wack & I'd like to get better at it. Hope you're having a good day!!! 💞💞💞
HI!!! i dont have any formal training in anatomy nor have i really done any studies, so unfortunately i think i can only offer general advice, but hopefully you can still find it helpful! here's what i'd recommend based on my own experience...
focus on proportions BEFORE anatomy! nailing down the size/length of each body part in relation to each other will give you a good foundation before getting into the specifics of anatomy, since you can practice this with simple shapes (circles, boxes, tubes, etc.). then practice anatomy/build on top of that, rather than trying to figure them out in parallel
practice from real life observation/references (ex. figure drawing)! even if you want to draw stylized, it'll be much more helpful in the long run if you study from real life. you'll be a lot more informed in how body parts actually connect to each other or how they move. observe observe observe! take pics of yourself/watch how your body moves--you can be your own most accessible resource, and a mirror and camera can be your best friends
find a way to keep yourself motivated to practice anatomy! everyone says that you only get better with practice and time... and it's true! but i can understand that sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself. if you ask me, draw your favorite characters :) it's literally all i do HAHA. my mentality is that... if i'm drawing something that i like then the practice feels less of a chore lol
#sorry these are kind of vague T_T i dont have a ton of technical knowledge...#i draw mostly based on intuition formed by years and years of observation lol#which is why i would put the most emphasis on the second bullet point btw!#i think its the main reason why ive gotten to this point in drawing while being self taught#but also bc ive been drawing for a very long time too#also sorry this took me a couple of days to answer T_T it takes me a while to come up with a response to these types of questions#bc im not great at articulating my thoughts HAHA <- not a words person#but i'm really flattered to get an ask like this T_T i wish i could give better/more specific answers T_T#i think its awesome that you want to get back into drawing tho T_T it's inspiring me to keep practicing as well#i actually saw this ask right after i got back from watching look back over the weekend LMAOOO#I WAS SO DEEPLY MOVED...!!! HAVING ALREADY BEEN SO RAW WITH EMOTION#IM ROOTING FOR YOU ANON..........!!! DONT GIVE UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP DRAWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
