love ur art!!! just a q about your brushes!!! do you always use your watercolour-esque ones, because in some of your pieces (namely the hunting dad reigen and his sons one) it doesnt have the texture as much??? i’m just curious because i love your style and can always tell its you, even when your rendering isn’t exactly the same in each of your delicious pieces, and honestly i’m in awe <3 thank you for sharing your art!

thank you so much! I switch around between rendering styles (ie. this vs this), but with the watercolour brushes I use the same 3-5 brushes for every piece. The textures vary depending on how I use the brushes haha sometimes I lose the texture if I overlap strokes too much.

With the matsutake hunting piece, you can see the texture up close!

especially here..

I am so inconsistent with style because I just want to try everything o(-( but I'm glad that you can tell it's me!! asdkljdsfh thank you!!! <3

Hello!! I love your art and wanted to ask if you had any tips on how to do perspective/backgrounds? Or if you have any specific tutorial in mind that i could look at. I've looked at some tutorials but have a hard time grasping how to do it so I thought I'd try asking you if that's okay!

Hello! Aahh backgrounds are a common struggle I think. Although I'm not great at them, I'm going to c&p an answer that I gave previously on curiouscat, more or less, if that's okay:

hmm It's quite a broad topic (perspective, composition, interior vs exterior, urban vs nature) but for now here are some things I like to do!

- Start with rough thumbnails for composition ideas. sketch out the main elements you want to include in the piece (e.g. grasses, a tree, big fluffy clouds, buildings, etc.) and decide on the camera angle. This stuff is moreso to do with composition than it is with backgrounds specifically, but the two are quite intertwined

- Gather references for different aspects of your bg, such as references for specific objects/details, or references for overall mood, or interesting composition. The key is to pull ideas and concepts from multiple sources into your arsenal, so that when it's time to design the bg you have a clear sense of what you want to include in it.

- Google street view can be a nice place to look for references!

- Consider your characters' interactions with the environment. I like to think of the character and bg as one overall piece rather than separate entities.

- Use perspective grids! You can play around with the perspective grid to see which camera angle would work best for the composition you have in mind. And note that your characters are drawn in line with the bg's perspective

- Vary the amount of detail. Some areas in the piece would have more details, some areas are more bare. I personally kinda like to have this contrast

I know they might sound generic, but I hope they're a little bit helpful in getting you started ; _; think the biggest hurdle for many artists when it comes to backgrounds is 1) deciding to draw them LOL and 2) composing/designing them? it would be a bit easier to explain my thought process if I post some process videos of the sketching phases of my bgs, which I really want to do more of but I never remember to. As for other resources, I remember finding these tips to be very helpful when starting out.

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

Also some parts are super sped up because I tried to fit the whole painting process within 90 sec ^^’
