#overdoit

[featherfangart]

Really love your art ❤️ the wings you draw looks amazing 👏 how does one draw them? 👀 do you use any references?

Oh my god, this ask is making the circle full fr. ;; Thank you SO MUCH, Anon!! I've had an enormous wing kink most of my life, but scared of drawing and avoiding them for uh.......... most of my life lol. So reading this means A LOT. TLDR - yes, use refs of all sorts of birds! use gradients! don't overdoit with brushstrokes! wings are paperthin!

In 2021 I said fck it and-- asked my partner, @lesoldatmort, who's a wing-master to teach me how to wings. And the answer was simple - use refs. I did! And it looked better than before. But. Uh.

Most of my wings looked like-- pillow sheets? Or. Pillows. Blankets. Puffy and thick. (Rafe from December, 2020)

So the biggest trouble for me personally (and for my partner, who was trying to knock it in my thick skull), was to get the wings as thin as possible. And use refs. And draw a lot of wings.

The biggest and best advice I got from my man, was to think of wings as of paper. Flat and thin. And use gradients for the sections instead of too many brushstrokes for each feather. Actually, save on the brushstrokes where you can.

January 2022 this was the best I could do. And that's after a LOT of interference from my partner, who kept nagging me to get rid of brushstrokes and add. more. gradients.

In June I decided I'm cracking the case. Gave up on trying to paint too much, because I prefer lineart 95% of the time anyway and drew the Howl piece. Still too many brushstrokes, but I used vulture photos as a reference for this one. Adoration is from this time as well. Used a pinned down bald eagle as a ref for Zack's wing.

In summer, I did some more random studies, kept looking at wings very closely. Looked at other artists drawing them. In September I was lucky enough to get cmed to draw safer Sephiroth. And that was probably the final moment I gave up on too many details and brushes and started stylizing the hell out of it. And using gradients. And lasso tool. As my partner's been telling me for almost two years at that point. Thin. Finally.

And then I just kept going. Simplifying the hell out of them............

And here we are. I have a problem. It's called a wink kink. And I'm loving it. <3

A few months ago, due to a gender crisis, lol, I even started using the name "Alas" along with Alassa. Which supposedly means "wing" in latin.

So... Thank you for coming to my ted talk and personal vent and rant. Sorry this got so long! However, seeing somebody asking me specifically about wings in my art... feels like reaching a finish line after years of whining. Thank you so much! ;; <3

"Why didn't Legosi just call the cops on Riz?" Girl they straight up explain it to you verbatim that it's both a "battle of worldviews" for them, and Paru shows that Legosi LITERALLY asked Gohin if he ever called the cops on his clients. I'm not gonna act like the resolution wasn't kinda shit but some of you OVERDOIT!!!

Me, doing the draw things:

"Three panels. Totally concise. No more. We got this."

"Okay, four. Four panels, that'll be enough."

"...Alright, five. Maybe six. But that's IT. Don't overdo it, self."

"-I SAID DONT OVERDOIT--" *SLAPS DRAWING HAND*

Hello. Jux wanted to check in and ask if u will be doing more readings today? No pressure ofc.

Heya! it's all good. (: I'm glad you asked, so I can let everyone know how active I'll be here! I'll be doing some free readings everyday (unless I'm sick, then probably none), the amount depends on what I'm doing that day/how I'm feeling/spending time with my husband/working on crochet/art projects. I've burnt myself out over doing free readings in the past, so I know I can't overdoit. I'm also trying to get into making info videos about tarot this time around too, so not everything I post is gonna be a reading. Sometimes I'll do a video, most times will likely be a picture with text. I have 22 waiting in my inbox right now! (I also do readings on other socials so I try to switch around) So yeah, there may be days where I post a lot of readings in one day, and then other days I might only post one or two. It's likely because I'm working on other stuff/trying to keep other socials active.

@theclosestcloset cont from.

"hey,-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey,..." harry pointed, hands up,as he was dragged by the dick into the shower. regardless of the kindness and carefulness, he still felt like warning, "careful with the goods, you really like these pumkpin bread, don't overdoit." He teased, kissing him back after that, holding his neck, "you cannot fuck on an ice bath. your ass tightness unnecessarily..."
