ur art is crunchy /pos !!! how do you have the confidence to use stuff that isnt pencil and cant rlly be erased if mistakes are made?

make more mistakes

ACTUAL ANSWER BELOW because it got too long. oops lol

anyway. i wrote “DO IT ON PURPOSE” because when it comes to doing a whole drawing with ONLY a pen- you gotta force your brain get creative- at least practice. in other words- work with what you have. it’s basically like solving a problem every few seconds-

because sometimes my hand eye coordination glitches for a split second. or maybe my hand shook or maybe the line is actually shit looking. but instead of scrapping the thing entirely i gotta to try and make it work. ok so if my line looks like crap here maybe i can make it a Part of the drawing by making everything look messier. OR maybe i can even just. hide it!! by coloring a thicker line along it too!!

you can actually HIDE a LOT of mistakes with a pen without erasing anything. and sometimes the mistakes are part of the art- like when i see the most beautiful art online and i see an uncolored pixel. what matters is your final output not the things you cant change now or mean nothing in the big picture

honestly going from sketch to lines and rendering with a pen is about weight control (like with a pencil- sketching yk) and not beating yourself up. in order to gain the “confidence” you gotta absolutely ANNIHILATE the need for 200% perfection. because theres beauty in a mess.

anyway so. when you get the basic stuff down like “in order to to make less mistakes with pen stuff- make sure youre used to what youre drawing already!!!” or “draw/doodle stupid shit with your pen and make it (pen) a PART of you and not some scary beast (pen)

i think it all stems down to forgiving yourself and just having fun. having fun is always my motto. if you ever go “oh no i made a mistake!!!” imagine me yelling “WHO CAAARRESSS!!!!!!!! (#love #positive)” in your EAR

Hey guys so I have a question for the ppl that are interested in my hollow knight gijinkas here! Should I make like a post that has links to every single one of them so they are more easy to find? (I would update it every time I make more gijinkas of course) or do the tumblr hashtags in my own blog work well enough to find them?

Look I'll admit I'm not well versed with Monster Hunter. But I do know that cat people make godly looking food and I feel like Hornet and Leon will appreciate that. (especially after leons been roughing It in the wilderness for a while)

THE FELYNE CHEFS!! FELYNE CHEFS MY FUCKING BELOVED

They’re a staple in the Monster Hunter games because, fun fact, those meals are a mechanic! They provide a boost to the hunter before a hunt - example extended health, stamina, more defense, or skills that can stop them from wasting a faint once! It’s a really fun and in world mechanic that doesn’t take away from the game and promotes preparing before a hunt. There has been so many times my arse was saved because I got the right food buffs for the right situation.

Unfortunately, Monster Hunter Stories being a spin off (and a real good one at that) follows more of the traditional RPG levelling and buff structure, so these glorious meals aren’t a mechanic in game and so - no in game felyne chef. BUT that doesn’t mean there aren’t - especially in the hunters town because it’s… a hunters town.

ANYWAY, yes I love these chefs, their food looks glorious and they’re all fun characters too. I’m the pickiest eater alive and yet I’d eat their food in a heartbeat, hell I’m getting hungry even looking at the images. The first one is called Grammeowster Chef and I love her with all my heart she’s just an old granny and her food looks so so so fucking good-

They’re wonderful and I love them and to bring it round to the blorbo run - yes my god Leon and Hornet deserve to have one of their meals. Poor Leon is being dragged through the bush to try and survive for a while and Hornet - when was the last time that girl HAD such a lavish meal? She’s been running on scrap survival mode. I think she wouldn’t even know where to START eating-

I’m keeping this under keep reading because I don’t wanna hijack the ask but sksksk genuinely this is my favourite game franchise ever and I cannot recommend trying the free Stories 2 demo enough. If you’re a fan of Pokemon and can handle the camera and flashiness of the game it’s - it’s so fucking good. It’s what I want Pokemon to be at. No i’m not blatantly promoting it aha 👀💦
