Would Recluse win in a fight with Miguel??? Debatable.

Would Recluse hop on the chance to get one good hit on Miguel. Absolutely

dude! your art is so delicious!!! how did you start drawing and who were your inspos and stuff?? you have a seriously unique and beautiful art style and i’m just eating SO good right now

I love telling this story!

I started drawing around 9 y/o and it was because my mom (who in no professional way is an artist. She works in law) was able to draw the cartoons me and my sister would see on TV.

I always looked up to mom as a little kid and wanted to figure out how to do that as well.

Time went on, I got into anime in middle school, checked out a bunch of Christopher Hart "how to draw anime books", and continued to draw all throughout high school.

Just to realize I didn't like how I was creating art.

I felt stuck and looking at the 7 years of art I did from middle school and high school I really felt I wasn't...changing.

Then I didn't change how I approached art for a few years after that. I was a workaholic so I never really dedicated as much time as I had wanted to figuring out how to change.

I tried branching out with different sources like studying Glen Keane gestures and loose western cartoon styles. Still felt stuck

THEN QUARANTINE HAPPENED 🗣️

Remember that workaholic life I mentioned? I use to work at least three jobs all at once before quarantine. Then I had no jobs. And I freaked out cause I saw my self-worth was connected with how much work I could do at once.

Not healthy, be better than me folks.

Anyway I needed a way to kill time and feel like I was accomplishing something. Then art reared her shiny ass in my face and said

"...draw, bitch"

So I did. All day. Every. Single. Day.

And there wasn't a goal to be a better artist this time. I just needed a damn project 😂. And it wasn't until the end of 2020 I saw improvement looking back to April

As seen below April vs December 2020

(Don't ask me why but the youth drawing is still one of my all time favorites)

Also I won't lie, I made a tik tok in April, it blew up outta no where in August cause of Rock (freakin) Lee of all things. And I liked the attention. Don't be like me. I burned out very quickly due to that mindset of "make art people want to see as fast as possible!" Not make art for myself.

Anyway, by then I was use to drawing everyday. Not even full blown illustrations but like doodling everyday. And I wanted to keep that routine. So I got jobs that would allow me to at least be able to sketch at breakfast before work.

Then I got a job as a paint and sip instructor, so I was able to try painting more often

As seen here

And from there I just started playing with art supplies all around. I treat art like math. My brain gets easily distracted and with that in mind, if I get tired of digital art, I go to color pencils or watercolor or gouache and then rinse and repeat.

I feel this is going on forever so to wrap it up

Current artists I'm inspired by:

For colors -

JC Leyendecker

@japhers on tumblr and twitter

For ink- Bruce Timm (worked on BTAS/STAS/Justice League etc)

Dan Mora (@ Danmora_c on Twitter)

Lastly character designs - A BUNCH OF ART OF THE MOVIE BOOKS

Spiderverse, Klaus, Maya and the Three, Luca, Dreamworks, Miyazaki etc

If the movie or show was cool. I went hunting for that art book to figure out what they were thinking when they made the characters.

And that's it.

The end of my spiel

THATS MY SON!

I think that anon has you mixed up with @yujateaandpi she has a au comic that they're still working on a about if Mabel and Ford went into a rift and while it was a week for them it was 30 years in their dimension. It's pretty angsty but the story and art is beautiful so far

THANK YOU, RUNNING OVER THERE NOW TO CHECK OUT THAT AU!

Cool down sketch of my OC Kyle from September

[yanabeardoodles]

Did you hear about the new gravity falls dating sim in the works🤭

I did! I don't get the full concept for it cause I see it in passing on tik tok. But I am curious to see the outcome!

[yanabeardoodles]

Plot twist: Stan doesn't die when he sees Ford. Instead, he is filled with energy and is absolutely determined to stay as healthy as possible. He ends up living happily with his family for at least 10 more years.

Sincerely,

A Delusional Anon

(I'm in love with your art btw)

No, wait, I don't know what this means but now I kinda wanna know who this was for. What is this in reference to?? Cause now im curious and invested 👀

[yanabeardoodles]

Your art is so expressive, I love it!! Every time I see one of your posts I’m so enamored with the way you draw emotions, the way you push the limits of the face but it still turns out so beautiful in the end is just. AWESOME.

LISTEN IM CRYING, SOBBING, SCREAMING CAUSE THIS IS THE KINDEST THING IVE READ ALL DAY

Thank you for liking my art

[yanabeardoodles]

Had to double take because I thought for a moment that Ford gained top surgery scars in 30 years /not neg

Mmmm maybe 🤷🏾‍♀️

(Tbh was trying to give his pectorals a little more weight due to him getting older cause the skin sags. But once I posted it and looked back I was like "ohhh, it kinda looks like top surgery. Huh. Ok")

[yanabeardoodles]

not an ask but I just found your acc, I am in love with your art now, and I want to eat your art, it looks delicious ❤️🍽️🤤🤤😋

Make sure you drink something when you eat the art! I feel like it'll taste like either crayon or chalk 😌

[yanabeardoodles]

hi. your artstyle looks like you have definitley been through some sort of youtuber related phase. wheather that be mcyt or otherwise.

My silly old ass had to google that one! But nope. If anything I've been listening to Nostalgia Critic reviews as background noise for the past 10 years 😂
