art tips post

for all the artists following me

draw fast. it’ll look messy for a long time but you’ll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing

if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know it’s scary but it’ll help in the long run (i’m speaking from experience)

try different methods and mediums but don’t worry about mastering any of them, just have fun

if you’re not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and i’d rather spend $4 on one than $15)

there’s no wrong way to learn. you can copy other people’s art if you want to, just don’t post it

DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want

if you want to make original characters then do it. don’t worry about if they’re original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. it’s fun and it’s not hurting anyone

try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while

make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspiration 

draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously that’s the best way to get better at drawing hands)

in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram

draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing

don’t expect to get any notes at first. don’t let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma

take breaks, but don’t give up.

I have a Ko-Fi now!

your support would be greatly appreciated - I am finally healthy enough to go back to college and finish a higher degree. For that I will need a new laptop and art supplies. On top of that I have the opportunity to finally move out from home and be closer to school (and away from a very toxic environment).

Now all of these are bigger expenses that I want to pay for myself. Even just the tiniest donation would ease the straint on my bank account since on top of all that I need to pay for much needed therapy sessions.

If you cannot donate, I completely understand, no one owes me anything, I still appreciate any kind of support be it liking or sharing.

thank you <3

Days 09 and 10.

Rainbow Krib (Kribensis Cichlid) and Royal Gramma.

Gonna name them Rani and Gem. I wanted to do a little more brightly coloured fish for a moment. I adore the colour contrast between the bright purple and golden yellow. <3

Inktober #13 : Open Up

a very late contribution to world mental health day and a shoutout to my boyfriend for being so supportive.

Others can’t love my mental illness away but having people in my life who show me love - romantically AND platonically - who stay with me and show me I am worthy of love even in the darkest of times, even when the voices in my head scream at me how unworthy I am of anything good, is incredibly meaningful and helps me to pick myself up of the floor every time

Showing compassion and support is important and sometimes life saving.

stay compassionate, kiddos ✌🏼

I once heard practice is important so here are some hands

it is already canon in the movies that the Flash listens to Kpop ....it only felt natural to expand that idea
