Just had to put this out there
I don't normally dive headfirst into a sketch without pencilling it out but I only realized I was using a pencil after I finished drawing the arms so I thought ehh, why not?
Hopper1 is one of my fav Chemies from Kamen Rider Gotchard not necessarily just because she's one half of the primary form, but because characters whose abilities are based on beetles or grasshoppers just bring me joy and it ties into the roots of Kamen Rider as a whole, where the 1971 titular show had the same motif — and because she's just so darn adorable!
Still though, I've no idea how I managed to pull this off, considering I've never drawn her until this artwork

it is still may! Mermay, more like mer-marin <3
#started this and then went off to the woods for a few days without my computer so i had to come back and remember how exactly i did it#and what brushes i used lmao#anyways most of this was drawn with one square brush of varying opacities directly on top of a vague sketch. it was fun tho trying to loose#up bc when i draw digitally i tend to always use very clean specific lineart and sometimes u dont want that. anyways also shout out blendin#layers. i love to just fill in a layer with some random color and then mess around with different blending modes and opacities until it#looks good#my art#links awakening#link's awakening#loz#legend of zelda#marin#la link#link loz#marlink#marink#whichever one it is#loz fanart#loz la#could be interpreted as lu legend. wasnt really my intention but i dont really care lol#outfit colors r blue red(ish) and green bc those r the three tunics you can have in la#(and several other games lol)#if i wasnt on a time limit i wouldve made the background more detailed but oh well. gaussian blur is my best friend#id in alt text

Woah pvz plant headcannon designs?!?!? (Sorta)
They're all pretty short because imagining most of them being average human heights is kinda scary. Also peashooter being short af is really funny
(Also I was just eyeballing the heights so I don't think they're very accurate. Just take it as approx and not the actual amount ig)
Bonus art I did on same canvas !!
#ok but you can tell who i draw most often#by how messy the sketch is#the reason the sketches for the ones i draw less often are cleaner is because i was tweaking it alot#the messier ones i just know off by heart lol#pvz#pvz gw2#pvzgw2#plants vs zombies#garden warfare 2#fanart#art#my_art#peashooter#pvz sunflower#I've forgotten citron's laser gun thingy for the millionth time#um it's detachable ok?#ok i have even more to say actually#IF I DID THIS AGAIN..#i won't make citron the shortest#he's actually p tall in game#i just squashed him#but next time I'll squash him less#cuz peashooter deserves the true spot as shortest#also can you tell i was fighting for my life to make sunflower as tall as possible without it looking weird DSGHFH#she is a SUNFLOWER she has to be TALL#but in game she's TINY!!!#also next time I'll make cactoos look more stylised#bcus I've only just learnt how to draw her without it looking like a streaming pile of shit#ok.. i think that's all

Melotober - Day 8 - Ghost
Fascinating, the monsters that creep in to each area...
#Melotober#It's not midnight yet HA#Rune Factory#RF1#Rune Factory Lynette#RF Lynette#You don't think they played with which monsters would show up where WITHOUT her testing them did ya??#She probably had so much fun while setting up those Shifts. And my brain immediately went to the Toros Ghosts#Have I ever drawn Lyn with the banners before btw?? Never published- only in 1 unfinished/unpublished piece#I also draw her so non-canon that I had to look at how I've drawn her more canon look. WHOOPS.#Also. Listen. Today is a day filled with baseball. Baseball games and referencing slides into 2nd for the sketch itself#[ty Trea Turner for having beautiful slides to reference. Nationals Turner as I am petty][he's also lithe and it helps]#Spent a few hours helping my mother fill out a scorebook for the Phillies/Mets game. Not time lost- time ENJOYED#Have a good night!!#Margot's RF Art

this might be a hard pill to swallow. but coming from someone who just went on a really long hiatus from drawing and had a several years-long journey of rediscovering my love for art… I think some of u online artists need to just take a break.
like— the amount of times I see people stressing about everything they post and beating themselves up for not being creative as they wish they were is insane. mama! you are burnt out! your mind and body are begging for a break. that’s why it feels taxing to create. that’s why validation isn’t cutting it anymore. that’s why you’re feeling doomed. the more you avoid taking a break and keep pushing yourself, the tougher the recovery process will be.
take. a. break!!!!!!!!!
#it doesn’t mean you need to stop being creative as a whole#but whatever is bringing you stress needs to be put away for a while#for me it was drawing that did it. I would pick up a pencil and feel panicked#I felt no joy or peace from it because I was critical of everything I made#so I started baking. I started crocheting. I started learning how to write creatively#I found myself being invested in nature and noticing the world around me#and became more inspired#without ever having the intention of drawing#and when I felt like it was time to come back to my sketch pad.. that’s when I came back.#I didn’t rush it. I didn’t force myself. and it took a long time. but it’s better than hating everything you make#avoiding taking a break and telling yourself you’re fine does you a disservice#atp you are punishing yourself for not being mentally well. That’s not right#and it also shows in your art when you’re not feeling good about what you make tbh#confidence is attractive. with humans and with art#art rambles#art tips#art tutorial#art how to#art hot take#text post#mine

Hello there!
I'd like to know your advice on drawing tablets?
As in, what do you use for your digital art? Is there any you suggest?
I'm planning on getting one, but there are so many options, and I'd like to know your opinion and preference.
Thank you ^^
hi anon! thanks for the question!
i draw with a samsung galaxy tab s7!
BUT if this is your first time drawing digitally, then it's a good idea to test out if you like it with cheaper options first (so you don't drop a whole lot of money on a hobby/medium of art you don't enjoy)
some suggestions:
if you have a smart phone, try drawing with your finger using free to use drawing apps like ibispaint X or HiPaint (i recommend HiPaint cuz the UI is a lot simpler and less overwhelming, but both have a good selection of tools. i wanna say ibispaint has better text tools tho and there's A LOT more tutorials and resources online) drawing digitally with your finger is different from drawing digitally with a pen AND drawing traditionally, but this is a good way to familiarize yourself with digital art tools. a very simple entry point if you already have a smart phone.
if you don't want to draw with your finger (understandable, i personally couldn't stand it) you can try simple drawing tablets, which are the tablets that you plug into your computer/laptop, come with a pen, but they don't have a screen you draw directly on. they're actually a lot more affordable nowadays (i saw some for under $50 CAD, which is WILD), so that’s a good starting option if you want to draw with a pen. with a pen, you have more control with line weights than you do with your finger, but it takes practice to get used to. it also takes some getting use to drawing on a tablet and looking at your monitor, but this is where i started haha. i still have my old bamboo wacom create drawing tablet. but nowadays, other brands like xp-pen and huion are very comparable to wacom, so definitely consider getting a cheaper one to try out first. of course, if you go with a drawing tablet, you'll need an art program on your computer. i've used photoshop and clip studio paint and they're very good, but probably overwhelming for people who are new to digital art (they are loaded with tools and you have to really familiarize yourself with the menus and everything). there are probably simpler options available... but i'm not as familiar with them. oh wait, i think there are some drawing tablets that can also connect with your smart phone too nowadays. man, that's so cool. that's probably a better option instead of purchasing photoshop or clip studio paint right off the bat.
if you REALLY want a screen display experience, try a cheaper general tablet. iPads are a popular option if you're comfortable with the Apple ecosystem (i'm not 😅) but they can be pricey PLUS you have to buy the Apple pen separately. for Android, I'm pretty sure even the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a solid choice and it comes with a pen unlike an iPad. the SPen is built with Wacom tech, so you know it's quality. and while iPad has Procreate, HiPaint is available for Android and it's basically a Procreate clone (i explain more about HiPaint here) otherwise, ibisPaint X is also good and infinite painter is probably the most sophisticated free to use drawing app i've encountered (sophisticated as in it does a pretty good job at imitating traditional media in their brushes. it's cool, but the free version is very limited).
also if you like watching videos, Brad Colbow and Teoh on Tech on YouTube are great resources. they specifically review tech from an artist's perspective.
why i suggest testing it out is because if you're used to drawing traditionally, then switching to digital is a different experience. some artists can't get used to drawing digitally, and that's fine. that's why it's a good idea to test it out with a cheaper option first to see if you like it and to give yourself time to familiarize yourself with drawing apps/programs. i actually kinda hated drawing digitally at first. i didn't have the same level of control that i was used to with drawing traditionally. and overtime i made a lot of bad habits with my digital art that i had to unlearn by switching back to traditional art for a couple years (some bad habits like: relying on the Undo button to make "perfect" lines; trying to draw really fast because the pen glides over the screen unlike a pencil has friction against paper) so... give it a try and just let yourself have fun. don't worry about making anything perfect, just have fun!
#ask the crab#i hope you have fun!#i first got my bamboo wacom tablet in 2011#and it's still very good#i use my samsung tablet now because i really like the screen display experience#and the fact i can bring it with me on the go without my laptop#i like digital art#but i'll still occasionally switch to traditional art#that's how i deal with art block#i switch something up and just experiment with a different medium for a little while#that gets me out of the perfectionist mindset too#i can't spam the undo button if there's no undo button with pen and paper#the reason why i switched to digital art recently was because i was struggling with sketching with traditional art a little while back#i was designing a new DCA OC with a body type i am not familiar with drawing#and it was just getting frustrating trying to get the body shape right#so i took a break and switched to drawing chibis in digital art so i could give myself a refresh#i eventually was able to design that character#but i did it digitally#i'll share him soon#i haven't really decided on an outfit for him yet

Cause Everybody Knows, He’s A Femme Fatale.
#femme fatale Jonathan is ✨babygirl✨#this is their 6 pm date at the ritz where his sad boy charms combined with flirty shit he learned from his now dead lover (who he killed)#woe Nancy and makes her fall for him more#and yes he did walk in like that he’s a femme fatale he can do that#it’s the slutty slutty tuxedo o was talking about (took me a few minutes to figure how to make it that way but obviously I did)#*I#it’s slutty by standards of the 30s and 40s (he gave the finger to tux etiquette)#I would like to thank my beloved mutual Dearie (@musicalchaos07) for reblgging a post about the dynamic of a man who is a femme fatale#and a lady who is a film noir detective and putting jancy in the tags#this masterpiece would not exist without it so thanks again!#description is the chorus from femme fatale by The Velvet Underground (just changed her to him)#maybe I’ll draw all the characters in this au for my historical au week 👀#stranger things#jonathan byers#nancy wheeler#jancy#film noir jancy au#sketch saturday
