Hi! I really really like your art!

Do you have any tips that you can give me to help me do better drawings<:)?

woooo thank you thank you thank you!! I like your art too and the way you use vibrant/contrasting color!! I'm not sure how fit I am to give tips but I'll try to write down some stuff I've noticed I do that makes art more quick and fun for me that I haven't seen anywhere else. These are just things I do, so please take only what's helpful!!: - Draw in whatever order you think is best for each piece. When I try to streamline by going sketch → line art → color → shading, I find my art just ends up looking bland and boring. I want to know how the final piece will look now, I want to shade now, in my head it looks finished. SO instead, if in my head I can see the colors and the lighting, I put that into the canvas first. If I can see only the pose, then that sketch goes first. It doesn't matter what the order should be, what matters is that I get the idea out quickly. EVEN if I'm in the middle of coloring, if I notice I could make the line art better or I suddenly understand how to solve the lighting, I stop coloring to do that. No "stage" is finished until the artwork is finished. - Make sure everything you add adds information. Like, where's the light coming from? How thick is this character's hair? Is there wind? Are they in a void, or in a room? What are they even doing? How did they get here? Everything is an opportunity to communicate what's going on. Say I draw a mermaid on a rock - well, her hair should be wet, and her tail should have water drops, the rock should be darker where she sits, she'd probably look relaxed, she'd be lit by the full moon - even if I don't add a background, each piece of the character should interact with the other. Where her hair meets her shoulder, does it bend? does it fall? does it tangle? Does it tangle often? maybe she should have a comb in her hand... and so on. - Try to let your hand loose, and let it do what it wants. I noticed I tend to gravitate to drawing shapes with a lot of sharp turns and flowy lines, like gnarly creepy hands or big sweeping tails. Drawing quick shapes that go with how my hand just wants to move produces more dynamic results than planning every single stroke and volume, I think. You can correct weird anatomy later, but while you draw these big shapes you kinda have to trust that you generally know how bodies work, and where things should be, how far apart, etc. If you've seen it, you know how to draw it, so draw it fast, let your hand go, and correct mistakes later. - Don't be afraid to delete stuff - delete stuff often, actually! I think this goes with the theme if keeping things quick - just don't get too attached to every stroke and idea. Sometimes that hand really is anatomically wrong. Sometimes that eye is just too detailed. Maybe the pose just isn't working! ...Then delete it. It makes no sense to keep it if you don't like it! This is the reason many artists do thumbnail sketches; to try out and discard ideas quickly. It's better to just move on and start fresh, I think! aaaand I think that's all I can come up with right now. I tried to say general tips I haven't seen written down before. Besides learning anatomy, understanding a bit how light works, using references when needed... I find it's important to carry out ideas with confidence that you'll know how to reach a good final result!! so. I hope it's helpful, sorry if it's too long, and I wish you lots of luck in both art and life!

I also present some Neria and Lia sketches :) !! I think a lot about how life underwater could be like - and how creatures like these might grow up and interact

[ecrit-morbs]

some relaxed sketches for a new OC - shapeshifter character!! shapeshifters are rare, and silly shapeshifters are rarer

[ecrit-morbs]

btw it is sexy and cool to uplift and admire people who have skills you wish you had without using their ability as a stick to beat yourself with. even and especially if you are jealous of them.

[ecrit-morbs]

Finally finished it as promised 🧜‍♂️ + bonus sketch stage because I'm emotionally attached to it :D

[ecrit-morbs]

WOMP WOMP here's an art wip!! I'm really REALLY getting out of my comfort zone here so I'm posting it to keep myself in check

because at every stage of the drawing I'm like what if we stopped now 😭

[ecrit-morbs]

aaaa I feel like I ever post but!! here's my OC Julius Stockhart doing his stuff, and he's got the sketches to prove it!

[ecrit-morbs]

Yeah this is what i was sort of picturing when I wrote what I wrote; being imbued with life and how unstable that feels !!

[ecrit-morbs]

I couldn't stop myself, and in my new digital painting journey I challenged myself to draw the dude I just conjured up in under 20 minutes !! Also I sketched out his body as I think it'd be

[ecrit-morbs]

ayo first art I post also first time trying to PAINt without lineart!! I've been really into kitsune lately and I don't know what that says about me like energetically

My vampire ex-boyfriend is stalking me. This is not an unusual occurrence. Even when we were still dating he was always doing this, he just used to be more obvious about it because if I called him out he already had a line locked and loaded about how he was only looking out for me. And sure, I'll admit that I've had more than the average number of near-death experiences for a seventeen year old, but at the risk of rehashing old arguments, a lot of that could've been avoided if he'd just turned me the first time I asked.

I've broken things off with my vampire ex-boyfriend a couple times before, usually for about the same reasons, but this time it's different. I think he's noticed it too. I'm not grieving anymore, not holing myself up in my room listening to sad music watching every gray day pass me by. I've talked to my friends, then to my dad, and they're on my side. My dad took a little longer to come around, but it helped that his best friend's son went through the same thing. It's good to have people around who want to support me, not just protect me.

My vampire ex-boyfriend didn't want me to be a vampire like him. He didn't want me to have sex, with him or anyone else. He didn't want me to go out with my friends without him there, but he also didn't want to come along. He didn't want me to go out after dark. He didn't want me to cut my hair. But he liked me, he really liked me. He liked that I didn't ever show much skin even in the summer. He liked that I didn't have any real hobbies or passions so that he could be the one to introduce me to music and fine art and literature. He liked that I kept my innermost thoughts so buried that they were a secret even to me.

I don't know for sure if I want to be a vampire anymore. I think I might, or at the very least I want to keep my options open, but it doesn't feel as urgent now that I know there are other ways to change myself. I used to think I needed it to be close to him. He was so beautiful, is so beautiful. My vampire ex-boyfriend, with his serious, brooding stare and his model chin and his body carved from the center of a pale diamond, his chiseled angles sharp enough to cut with just a glance. And then me beside him, with my long mousy hair and my fragile frame hidden beneath overlarge shirts and jeans when even a knee-length skirt made me feel too exposed. For all his sanguineous habits, I was the parasite, and he was the genuine article, and maybe that's why it hurt so much to have him reject me again and again. All I ever wanted was to burrow into his colorless skin, to feel what it was like to be strong and unyielding. My vampire ex-boyfriend hated his perfect body. He waxed poetic about my warmth, my softness. Maybe we were more alike than I thought in the end.

I load my old pickup truck full of lumber and nails and feel pleased by how much easier it is now that I've started to put on a little muscle. Working with my hands makes me feel more grounded in my body, so dad's enlisted my help in some of his DIY projects around the house. My collection of bandages is growing, from splinters and slips and the occasional dropped hammer, but my coordination grows a fraction less abysmal each day, and if I spill blood there's no one there to wince and whine about it.

I put a lock on my bedroom window. I pin photographs to my wall documenting my changes from month to month. Dad shows me how to shave without cutting myself, despite my insistence that if I could figure out my legs I can figure out my face. I smile more days than I don't. I still turn my head in the same direction when I hear a loud crack from beyond the treeline that's not quite thunder. I still visit his family, when he's not around. In another life I know his parents would've treated me like one of their own.

Just as I'm climbing into the driver's seat I hear a voice from the shadows, whispering the name of a stranger. I drive away. I've got no more interest in raising the dead.
