#art crisis

[ratshully]

GAHHHHH i survived my first week of college !!

also my brain decided it’s time for an art style crisis so love that 😒

it helps to purposefully make some unserious-low-expectations-zero-correct-anatomy art cause either you’ll get to laugh at it later or it actually turns out kinda cool

Me during my artist crisis

not over this fic i read

there's this really beautiful art of an asari in an ombre dress that I think had like gold trim or something. high fashion stuff.

despite having god tier quality I have never been able to find it again.

it was soooo gorgeous. I think it was part of some like community art fashion event. it kills me that I'll probably never see it again.

That feeling when you look at your artstyle and it doesn't feel right anymore so you spend ages and ages studying other peoples artstyles to see of you can put them into yours in a desperate hope to like your artstyle again but then you're too scared that the person will see and get really upset that you used their artstyle so you revert back to your old one leaving you stuck in an endless loop

Yeah thats whats happening to me rn

Damn, I used to have only one ship I actively created for and now I have three ships at the same time... And a million ideas!! I need help :'D I have so many LawRusso wips (and I keep sketching ideas instead of finishing XD) I have Jally wips and many more ideas and I haven't drawn them even close to enough, and now I am having a clown crisis!!! (I just had started to actively draw Akabuggy when Cobra Kai suddenly happened and fully occupied me but now with the OPLA and Buggy being so beyond perfect and the Cobra Kai/TKK fandom becoming more and more quiet, my urge to draw my captain is stronger than ever :'3)

i want my artsyle to be realistic but also not realistic and vibrant but also a bit dull and have clean lineart but also super messy lineart and have precise anatomy and clothing structure but also just big and little circles and curves also i want complex shading and hightlighting but also shading and highlighting that’s basic and takes a maximum of five minutes

Yet another comic about leaving the Mormon church that can be applied to a variety of things. I also plan to include some version of this in a graphic novel I’m making.

Have any of y’all ever known those swim instructors that just throw kids in the deep end saying that that’s how the kid will learn?

If you don’t, I am gonna be that swim instructor to myself. Except I’m not swimming, I’m trying to learn how to draw.

So from this day forth I’m going to practice drawing or sketching or lineart (bro idk what it is ok) for AT LEAST 3 hours a week, with each drawing have a max upper limit of 1 hour (min limit of 25 mins).

Got that? Good.

Now some rules/procedure for myself:

Think of something to draw, if you can’t then use a random word generator or something

Search the topic on Pinterest and draw the first interesting thing you find

It’s not stealing (stop guilting/overthinking into not drawing)

If you can credit the picture then credit, if you can’t it’s ok stop stressing so much ffs

If you’re stuck JUST FUCKING TRACE IT.

Use a bloody grid it’ll help you visualise everything much better

You’re not a professional artist. You don’t even want to make money this way. You just want to draw fanart. Stop being so harsh on yourself.

Post the stuff you make over here (or on kara?) if you don’t you won’t be motivated.

Unrelated but MAKE A LIST OF THE AMVS YOU WANNA MAKE, YOU DONT HAVE A MIND PALACE TO STORE THIS SHIT.

Make the canvas the same size as the reference pic, I think it’ll confuse you less ok.

Edit: more rules

STOP LOOKING AT THE COOL LOOKING TUTORIALS, IT INTIMIDATES YOU (no seriously you just wasted an HOUR).

Do not use a fully rendered thingy as a reference at first, if you can’t figure wtf is going on just with your eyes, you sure as hell won’t be able to do it with a pen.

I’m having an art crisis with the eye style again.

It’s not that I don’t know how to draw them, it’s how I don’t know how to find a style for the eyes that satisfies my brain.
