#AND TY FOR THE COMPLIMENT!

do u have any advice for artist that are not beginners but are not even close to experts that want to improve?

your style is so beautiful and floofy !

YES!!! fill an entire page with terrible pen drawings.. from reference AND from your mind. no erasing no time to think just get in the habit of letting ideas flow! a lot of beginners get stuck on that phase of thinking they have to make the "perfect" drawing when they never will because they dont have the technical skills, visual library or muscle memory to yet (which is perfectly okay!!) but if you wanna maximize how much you are learning you need to create a LOT!

I just wanted to say I really admire how effortlessly masculine you are but how you also love so many traditionally "feminine" things. I am working on coming out as a trans man and dread people telling me I'm not allowed to knit and stuff anymore

One of the annoying aspects of transition is you become this walking litmus test for weird gender essentialism - even in progressive folks - and you're gonna learn just how much people deprive themselves of personal joy because of it.

I cannot tell you how many well-meaning people ended up shitting on my hobbies out of a desire to give me "man lessons" that I never asked for in the first place.

All I can say is, stick to your guns. Sure, knitting has also historically been a masculine activity, but to acknowledge such feels like giving credence to the argument that you have to drop "unmanly" interests. Knit because you like to knit, not because you are "allowed to" based on some gendered technicality.

Don't feel like you need to sacrifice parts of yourself in order to transition. If the best version of you is a man who knits, or a man who likes pink, or a man who enjoys wearing makeup, resist the urge to destroy these pieces of yourself.

Detractors will attempt to weaponize everything about you in an attempt to de-legitimize who you are. The most radical thing you can do is show them how your passions only make you stronger.

The dread is real, but it gets easier to assert yourself over time. You might even find yourself becoming an ambassador to other men wrt your hobbies. Good luck!

Less of an ask but I just wanna say thank you for drawing wilson as petty little bitch even if only for comedy. Like. You get him. And that pleases me greatly. Thank you, love your doodles.

thank YOU! I love portraying wilson as a kind of petty, eccentric guy with a big hint of misanthropy, and even tho i exagerate it for the comedy, i do really love seeing him that way hehe

hi how do you do those nice orangey glow outlines on ur characters? they look lovely!!

ALR BUCKLE UP AND LISTEN HERE /silly

so on most drawing programs (photoshop, csp, ibis paint etc.) they have built in mechanics to create some sort of outer stroke to a drawing (often just called "stroke (outline)" or something along the sorts but because PROCREATE is STUPID it doesn't have that option so you gotta do it the long and complicated way WHICH IS WHAT ILL TEACH Y'ALL TODAY!!!!

so you wanna start off with your drawing (today we have wolf pearl to help us with this magnificent tutorial) all flattened down into a single layer (i usually duplicate the group the original character drawing is in and flatten the duplicate so i still have the original layers as backup

you'll then want to make another duplicate of the flattened character, alpha lock it and flood it as a solid colour of your choice (it's important to then unlock the layer once it's been flooded or this won't work)

with the flatcolour layer selected, you'll wanna click this button here,

and select these settings! before you select the feather option (but with the colour fill option selected) you'll wanna tap on the character to select that layer

apply your feather however thick you want! i usually go for somewhere between 2-5% to make sure the line isn't toooo thick, it depends on the piece. after you've feathered it you'll wanna close the menu and then open it back up again. this locks in the feather change and after opening the menu again it allows you to make changes with the feather as part of the original layer

now simply tap on the character with the colour fill still selected and it should turn the feather solid :D

this step also applies to if you use any other program that actually gives you the stroke outline option. after that, go to your layers, change the blending mode to "add" and set your opacity down to whatever fits (i usually go for around 30-40%)
