Payment methods:

I accept Ko-fi, Venmo, and PayPal.

I will clearly outline the total cost of the commission to you and ask for agreement on the cost. That cost will be split into 2 seperate charges, half of the money up front and half upon the commission’s completion.

What to expect from commissioning me:

Commissions will be worked on as I get them, so there may be a queue time for you to wait before work begins on your commission.

Once work has started, it may take upwards of a month to get completed depending on personal life circumstances and commission difficulty.

You will receive an update on the commission at every milestone of the drawing process (rough sketch, clean sketch, lineart, etc) and will be asked if there are any changes you wish to make at each stage. Big compositional changes can only be made at the sketch stages, beyond which only small tweaks can be requested (colour or effects changes, minor pose or character design changes).

Commissions Open!

hello! i've got a lot of vet bills to pay for my cats so i'm tentatively opening private commissions to anyone interested. DM me if you have questions or a request! i don't have a professional sheet made up at the moment so please ask if you'd like examples. of course you've all seen my Futurama art, but I can draw OCs and other fandoms as well if you have references.

clean sketch single character - $50 CAD, +$10 per additional character, +5 for simple shading, +5 - 10 for a simple BG (like if you wanted someone sitting on a couch or on a bed, would have to work out cost re complexity)

flat colour (includes lineart)- $90, +$20 per additional character +$5-10 for a simple colour bg (just abstract shapes or something very simple, can show examples, price depends on complexity)

colour + shading - $100 depending on complexity +$25 per additional character +$5-10 for simple colour bg (abstract shapes or something very simple, same as flat colour)

all prices are CAD

Would you ever consider doing a colouring tutorial?

Heyooooooo

I've done a coloring post before (a few months prior), but somehow, my coloring/painting process has changed a lot since then lol. I'll give a breakdown of my process (and go into specifics on coloring) here, but please do take it with a grain (or a spoonful) of salt... I'm still very much learning, and though you can use my process as a guide, experiment on your own to find what works for you! This post got a little long I'm ngl so. open at ur own risk. it's really just me rambling and being a bit too pretentious for my own good

using my recent post as an example, my process is basically just:

first i get a clean sketch (after many hours of pain finding detailed references lol), not gonna go into that since you asked abt coloring

then i immediately go to block out shapes over the sketch. For big paintings, I don't do lineart (because i find that it eliminates a lot of depth that can be achieved with shapes and shading) — for smaller sketches and pieces, i'll do lineart tho.

I started darker to lighter in this painting because I knew I wanted harsh light. For me, it's a lot easier to project "additions" onto a surface — ie, if there's a harsh light, that's the addition vs. a shadow in neutral lighting as the addition. dunno if that makes sense, but breaking tones down like that helps me understand how i want to chronologically color smth and choose my bases:

for example, since I knew I was gonna have harsh light here, I felt comfortable with just getting the tones for my shadows down immediately. There won't be many midtones due to how extreme I saw it to be, so there was no point in finding a neutral base tone.

how i choose colors varies from painting to painting, but for this one, I decided to lean purple-blue because skk are just one of many red and blue gays (same reason why most of my other skk works lean red-blue-purple), and also because I knew I wanted my light to be on the warmer side — thus, the shadows and unlit areas will be cooler.

i also wanted it to recede (to emphasize the perspective and for depth), so for the base colors, i made them cooler + darker as they went back. This wasn't as clear in the finished product, but i think it did a good job at reminding me the vibe i wanted as i rendered

By how much I've written for this step, I guess you can assume that it's the step I put the most consideration into — and you'd be right. I think base colors really determine the vibe, and it sets you up for the rest of the painting. Sometimes I have to color adjust my bases over and over (with hue adjustments, color balance, curves) until I'm satisfied. I think that satisfaction is obtained w/ more ease as I've painted more and more. Alongside the sketch, this step takes me quite a while. Sometimes it's fun to mess with really wild color combos, but that's another topic.

Then I block out the lighting, which is probably the most drastic step but also somehow the quickest for me. Once you understand how light affects color (warmth, tone, etc) and you gain confidence with it, blocking out values in relation to base tones isn't too hard. That ofc takes practice and a lot of fundamental understanding of Shapes & Colors but there's a lot of stuff online abt the theory specifically from professionals, so I'm not gonna lecture y'all as a fanartist for glorified literary author rpf

then i just start rendering, layer by layer. above is a screenshot i took mid-rendering; at this point, dazai's clothes were basically done but I later worked on the face + hair more and textured the tie.

I try to do the stuff I want people to focus on first, because at least for me, that's when I have the most energy to make smth detailed — the more detailed an area is, the more naturally drawn you eye is to it (this is because the brain likes areas of high contrast, and details are entirely founded on the placement of contrast).

My art has never been too extremely detailed — I enjoy flatter + bigger shapes, styled texturing and silly patterns, but I find that "detail" still translates into "effort". When I look at paintings, it's very clear where someone put most of their effort — and when I can't tell, then I know I have a very confident + experienced artist who can effectively distribute their workflow (goalz). So yeah, I render in my very silly poly style but still keep that in mind.

eventually, I finish rendering. This part is kinda a blur tbh, and it always varies from artist to artist. I'd say the things I keep in mind are:

shape + form (making sure my rendering doesn't mess up gesture or vibes, and that it keeps things loose)

composition (making sure i don't overdo areas where i don't want people to focus on)

and tone (ensuring that the depth and believability of the scene stays intact so that my non-realistic style can work)

I added the bullet because i wanted a reason for the goofy expressions, just a bit more pizazz so that skk's drama was also believable lol. also visual storytelling or whtv (but that's not something i usually prioritize, it mostly comes with the concept and sketch).

I also added the bullet for some compositional spice. the dark shadow on dazai's arms was there to also emphasize the warped perspective, but it also left a weirdly empty vibe that I didn't enjoy lol. So yeah, bullet! and ofc my favorite, weird flowy line pattern thing that doesn't adhere to the laws of physics

I think a lot of my traditional painting experience leaks into my digital painting practice. I don't like lineart too much, and since I mainly work with acrylic, I rely on opaque color blocks, layering, and "carving out" shapes. probably explains my affinity for solid flat brushes in Procreate,,,,, but yeah. It's a little all over the place, but at its core, it's a lot of technical stuff mixed with habits after finding what works for me.

Dunno if this helps at all, or if it was interesting lolol. Thank you for reading until the end if you're still here! I appreciate it. I'm still learning but I've definitely learned a lot since I started this blog so it's exciting to track my progress. I'm sure I'll see this in a few years and laugh lolol.

The drawing I did for /@tmnt.th1ngs on tiktok's ditsy!!! Please go check out the sillies if ya can

Honestly was so fun drawing this- and I haven't done proper full fledged Lineart/render in so long!!!

And here are the sketch, base colours, and basic shading I did for it- since some of the details for a tad bit lost in the main drawing lol

Honestly feel like I've improved so much in my colours and and style and shading/lighting- and I feel like I can mostly thank my rise!Leo snaps for it funnily enough???

You can find the main post here off those sillies:

I mean- I literally have to wing and guess most of the colours, and have them match the environment they are in, also the shading/lighting though obv not clean, already gave me some insights on how light and shadows work n stuff-

[margarethelstone-2]

Hello Dear Followers!

The season of comfort and joy is over-ish, but my special time commissions are still here, and now with a discount!

Rules remain simple and as follows:

This is a shaded sketch/clean lineart event, so I won't be doing anything coloured or manga-stylised this time. Sketches will be simply shaded, clean linearts will stay... well, clean ;)

You may choose whether you want a bust or half (head to hips); it won't affect the price.

Fandoms? My favourites include Chihayafuru, MLB, FMA, ATLA... But there's more. You can find some in the tags - with others, just ask and confirm - there's a big chance I at least know of it. And if not, I can learn! <3

OCs: ...ARE VERY WELCOME! However, please keep mind I'm only experienced with drawing humans, so these are what I'll draw.

Extra characters: Not this time; single characters only.

Commissioning process. Text me via PM and tell me which character you're interested in commissioning. If it's an OC or from a fandom new to me, please provide some reference pictures as well. Once I am done with the rough sketch, I'll let you know and ask for the payment, which you can do either by visiting my ko-fi and donating, or directly to my paypal. I'll send you the clean version soon after.

€ euro users! € if for some reason you'd like to pay in euro rather than dollars, that's no problem. The amount translates to 20€ (since the rate is close and changing), but it's up to you which way you prefer.

Please remember that I can refuse a commission. It may be because I'm not experienced enough or because I don't feel comfortable with some. I also may be booked already. If in doubt, just ask ;)

[lonksadventures]

I'm sure you get asked this a lot but I couldn't find it. (sorry if I missed it) I found your art through your Startouched subrace post and I loved the art you did for it! I was wondering what program and brushes you used for the coloring and lineart it looks so clean!!

Hiya! So I use Procreate for most of my art currently. The brushes I use are mostly the default inking and paining brushes :D

For lineart I often use the Dry Ink brush but have also been using the Ink Bleed brush recently which is a bit looser.

As for painting/colouring I mainly use the default round brush BUT when shading in my more painty style I also use the Flat Brush with slightly less opacity to give that brush stroke feel!

I also like to add gradients/texture to my art and my go to brushes for that is the Rectango brush in the Textures section and a mix of the soft and medium airbrush :D

I think that’s everything but if you have any more questions please ask!!

[rarilee33]

How do you post amazing art so consistently??? Your art reminds a lot of oil paintings. I love how you render your art.

njfnejfnejfnenf aaaaaa thank you so much I try my best to post the good stuff frequently enough. Yeah I do love painting and rendering features because it's very pleasing to slowly like chip away and keep defining/shading/colouring until you finally see whatever it is and that's satisfying!

I also like doing line sketches when I might want to get something down quicker, and I might colour it for readability, this is (usually) preferable for concept development and such, (and then less often I will actually do clean lineart on a separate layer) but I do prefer painting/rendering without lines, aesthetically, and creating 3d shapes! : >

I should be doing homework but instead I was thinking about the scooby gang (buffy) and how Sarah Michelle Geller is the best person to play kickass Daphne in the early 2000s

Voilà, 'Daphne The Vampire Slayer' (patent pending) I'll be cleaning this up and actually colouring and linearting and all those actual art processes later, but I needed to share my brainworms

One girl, every generation, blah blah - prom is ruined because evil creatures from another dimension keep trying to be menacing (and that was a new dress they've ruined with bloodstains, horrifying)

Hello Alena! i Love your loose sketchy but colorful art style! 😍 I'm a fellow artist but for years i've struggled with trying to just sketch and be loose. I'm always taking even just a post-it-note sketch so seriously and automatically try to be a perfectionist and add in all the details! it's frustrating since i also can't get all i want to sketch done because i'm being meticulous with each sketch. even with just a simple lineart sketch. you're so great and wonderful at what i'm trying to accomplish. do you please have any advice?? 😫😩😵🥴 I love how you do the smooth lineart and expressions for the Bnha characters btw!

Hi! First of all, thanks, I'm glad you like my stuff! <3 I actually have a friend who's quite similiar in that aspect, she can draw super well, putting hours of work into one drawing until it looks perfect. That's a dedication that I admire, because I'd never have the patience to spend so much energy for one artwork! On the other hand, I see how that could get in the way of wanting to work faster and looser. I've always scribbled and sketched a lot, so when I struggled it was always the other way round, having to learn not to rush things. But I'm sure it's something that can be learnt as it is with pretty much everything :) I'll try to give you advice of what I think might be helpful, but different people like to work in different ways, so some of that might end up just not working for you, while other stuff might. (I'll be putting this under a cut, this could get longer)

One thing that might be helpful could be the medium you draw on! When drawing in a new sketchbook or having a nice white sheet of paper in front of you, I tended to get intimidated and think that I need to fill this paper with something nice and beautiful, so as not to "waste" it. Especially with new sketchbooks, I think everybody knows that feeling...Now, nearly all drawings and sketches I do are done on left over paper from me and my partner, stuff that would have been thrown away otherwise because one side is already printed on. It takes away the pressure of having to give it your all, because, if it would land in the trash either way, I can't ruin or waste it by doing only sketches and little doodles.

While we're talking about mediums, you might try changing the pencil. I'd try something that won't give you such clean lines, so that simply by using this pen, you are already limited to how detailed you can get. I enjoy using coloured pencils now and then, like a red polychromo, they allow me to make light sketches and then, when I put more pressure on it, I can simply draw with the same pencil over the sketch, but making the newer lines stand out more and thus putting focus on special parts of the drawing. This is sometimes not that easy with a normal lead pencil, black will always stand out more than a light red for example. I also like to draw with 2B or 4B for sketches, and don't sharpen the pencil too often. :) Keeps the line a bit blurry sometimes, and I can put a quick shading on if I want.

Now, getting more to some actual drawing advice, learning to be quick with a drawing, without caring so much about how it might end up looking, this might be something you'll have to properly learn doing...like, for example, setting yourself time limits for a drawing. A classic, though still good way to do this, is by using figure drawing videos like this. It will show the person being in different poses for maybe 1, 2 minutes (later on it will get longer) and that's the time you have for one pose, not longer. It's tiresome and overwhelming at first because you won't know where to start, but it will actually give you a feeling for movement of the body, learning which lines to draw, and which you can leave out and still convey the body language and make it a convincing, realistic sketch. In a way, what you want to achieve with a sketch is often quickly show a scene, or a pose that you want the character to be in. It doesn't have to look beautiful or cleaned up, but it must be (or at least it would be nice if it were) convincing, using only a few lines, but conveying what a finished drawing will or could look like in the end. That's where figure drawing lessons are really helpful, because it will help you get a feeling for how you can quickly make a character look like they are e.g. sitting, or angry, or ready to jump in the air...and so on. Phew, I could talk a lot more about this, and I would eventually end back up at me advicing everybody to learn anatomy, but it's always a question of what you want to achieve in the end, and if that is really necessarry for you and where you want to go with your drawings :)

Hm, another small thing might be no try not using your eraser for sketches? Just put it out of reach, and if there's a line you don't like, either ignore it, draw over it, or start anew. I'm wondering if this is actually helpful or just stressful, but it might be worth trying out. It might help to get past the idea, that your sketches have to look good!

For now, that's kinda all I can think about. This topic is super interesting though! I might not be the best person to give advice here, so maybe ask different people too for their approaches. If I can think of any more stuff, I'll write that in another post, for now I hope this is someway helpful, even it's not that much! Good luck with your art!
