No justice, no peace. Black lives matter.

I saw an image of this circulating and felt the need to recreate it.

I can’t believe 2020 gave us queer coded aliens.

My progress over the past 1.5 years. I’ve never done a redraw challenge before, so here’s one for 2020 featuring my ocs Lang and Wen!

Personal tips for art: - goal-oriented practice: focus on a thing you want to improve (perspective, lighting, etc - only pick one or two at a time!!! Never overwhelm yourself) and try to incorporate those things in your drawing routine. - observation: practicing is key, but knowing what exactly you want to achieve with your practice is also crucial. So use references. Analyze from real-life and art that you admire. - seek guidance: this is optional, but a great bonus. I don’t think I would have improved as quickly if I hadn’t met my art director, who taught me more in a few months than school ever has in two years. Ask for critique, take courses, etc. 

Most importantly: - draw what you enjoy. Technical studies are important, like playing scales for piano, but… it’s dry, and boring for most people. Having solid foundations is an absolute must. But make sure you are also drawing what you enjoy, and try to incorporate your “studies” into it. You improve much more quickly when you enjoy what you’re doing. 

The world always needs more artists. Please create!

You just have to Look

The gods haven’t left us, but some say they are forgotten

Zeus roars his battle cry as lightning strikes skyscrapers and thunder rolls over corn fields and grassy plains.

Hera sings a lullaby to the crying newborn babies every night and hold the hand of those born early, those fighting to survive.

Artemis screams her protest in the voices of every woman, young and old, as they raise their fists for equality.

Demeter whistles through the streets of cities, rustling the leaves of scarce trees, reminding the concrete jungle of the jungles around them.

Poseidon bellows through the foghorns of steam ships, cruise liners and cargo ships as they dock into the harbour.

Hephaestus hammers his forge’s red fires with the punch of a time-clock and in the muscles strains of the working man.

Apollo blasts his voice through every headphone, earbud and speaker turned way too loud.

Ares’ battle cry echoes through a stadium as the crowd cheers after a national anthem is played.

Aphrodite whispers in the giggles and “I love you"s said between lovers intimating.

Hermes laughs in the roar of every engine and the gurgle of gasoline through the pump.

Dionysus cheers in the spirit of every young person celebrating themselves and making their lives enjoyable.

Athena hums in the silence of a late night library visit, in the turn of a page and the scratch of a pen.

Hestia smiles in every host saying “come in”, in every oven’s beeping, and the sigh of relaxation in ones home.

Hades beams in every dark humoured joke, in every Halloween night, and in every morning after.

They say the gods are gone, forgotten and a world away. But they are here, if you look for them.
