How do you draw your stuff like that?! I tried and failed to replicated it multiple times, the colors are so nice and the art just makes me feel so warm inside

TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!!! I BEG YOU!!

I would still say I'm learning myself! So I'm still pretty new to a lot of things art-wise :]

Although, I figured if you do want advice from me, it'd be nice to share some things I've been learning throughout the years- it could be a good point to start:

First of all the good ol' advice:

Drawing is a skill and as such you ought to take a bit before you get actually good at it (it took me years to get to where I am currently after all)

Using references helps with the process while practicing. if there is something you want to work on, say you want to improve drawing clothes. Look for a few photos of clothes you have in mind (baggy clothes, for example) and try to copy that.

You want to draw people better? Anthros? In which style?

Depending the style you're aiming for there's differet things you need to practice more for (eyes, hands, clothes, backgrounds)

You don't have to set your style on something solid yet, hell I encourage exploring to see what fits better:

the fun thing about art is that you can do whatever you want as long as you're happy with the result :]

BUT I have used references on at least half of these drawings so they do help to get a better idea of proportions or just to not forget details of what you're drawing.

Colors would be the tricky part actually, but so is line art.

Good colors can only carry you so far, same goes for line art:

Cleaning it and adding more weight to your lines here and there really changes the way a drawing feels. You can start small and play around until it's something you like more. (Make the lines on certain areas thinner or thicker. I generally add thicker lines on the outside.)

Color is just playing around with hues and tones basically:

Normal colors -> warmer colors

another examples where instead of using normal colors I tweaked them a little to make them warmer :)

a fun way to get more used to certain colors are using preset palettes!

it's very limiting but very rewarding when you learn how to play around with the same colors!

It's not much but I do hope this mindless rambling can help somewhat KSJRTNH I'd probably google for more in-depth tutorials since there's people that can explain it better than I could ever wish to :'D

At the end of the day, I do encourage you to learn at your own pace, a lot of drawings are made with no references because I just want to have fun! I'm drawing as much as I can but not daily, I take breaks to play games and hang around with friends <3

Just think about what you like drawing the most, and attach yourself to it :D not every drawing needs to be your next big piece, sometimes it's fun to just make a very silly drawing and call it a day

Just remember to be kind to yourself when drawing, every line you place means you've taken another step towards getting your drawings to a point you'll like

WIP

felt it was about time I did a small redraw again :]

if you're curious, the older pieces are under the cut!

versions from late 2023 and late 2022(?) I believe

Even if there wasn't much development for the AUs, the art is still beautiful. You even had specific tags for each AU so it was easy to see which was which. I'm sad to see it all go

sdgfyhukhuiytdkcgh,,,, thank you,,,,, some of the art WILL be going back up, I'm just deciding which pieces I like enough to put back up; I just felt like there was a lot of stuff present that I wasn't really doing anything with and it was stressing me
