Just wanted to pop in and say that it’s been about a year since I bought your comicmaking guide and it’s… honestly one of the best art resources I’ve ever seen, full stop. I’ve recommended it to practically all of my artist friends and even (more recently) to some folks in the comic industry. It’s not only changed the way I make art but the way I look at and think about art as well. Your compositions are out-of-this-world and I would be completely remiss to not at least thank you for all your hard work on that pdf. So thank you! <3

Thank you so much! I really can't overstate how much this means to me. I'm far from the world's most confident artist and it's difficult for me to feel like I'm in a place to give meaningful advice when I'm lacking in some of the more technical areas of drawing, so to hear when people not only take the time to read it but actually found it helpful that's really a huge boost for me. I'm so glad you were able to get something out of it.

I have decided to start posting to Tumblr again - it has been a couple of years - but I always did like the format here, so lets see what has changed since then. I started painting - both digitally and IRL and have amassed a large body of work to share. If you like the shit, then REBLOG THE SHIT. Or find me at ocularics.com or Insta or Vero.

ik the post is a couple months old now but it's !! so cool to see that other people still like rubyquest :DD

awww, im glad!! i LOVE rubyquest, i read it for the first time about 12 years ago and it's still one of my favorite pieces of horror media. i think it's probably the most successful webcomic ive read at emulating a point-and-click adventure game with the mspa format, which is really cool, and also a great example of why you dont need a huge amount of skill to create an amazing piece of art

Painting studio fun!!

On the same day I tried those (unfortunate) ink drawings I decided to do something inspired by markmaking tools and paint with them.

I didn’t want to go mad with power and drive myself insane with colour so I stuck to a blue and purple palette as these are the colours I often associate her with. She always wore purple cardigans and her hands were usually bruised but would always hold mine as tight as they could when she laughed.

I used a piece of fabric that I kept together with hairties and went nuts. I’m not 100% happy with the proportions and accuracy but the brush was unforgiving and I think it allowed me to capture her essence that I couldn’t with a brush and detail. I also made her shoulders a lil too small but I also remember her looking very small during the last few years we had her so I think that’s why I did that.

I ended up trying to add a background but I believe it was more successful without, sometimes simple is better, wahoo learning! I love the visible brushstrokes and the way the colours meet but don’t perfectly mix. :)

i think rephrasing "painting" to "apply paint" was probably the most important shift for my coloring mindset
