#trying to figure out how i wanna draw myself when i start my new sketchbook #+ i kinda do wanna learn lineless art bc theres a certain style of it that reminds me of gouache! and i love flat matte gouache #its so hard tho as someone who struggles with contrast. and LOVES lines.#i wish it was as easy as changing the lineart color at the very end of a lined and colored piece ykwim #but the line color i choose when im painting in gouache is different than the colors i choose when coloring already existing lineart #if that makes sense #anyway this was directly inspired by manaohu on twitter ^_^ they are one of my fave artists #a doodley #ok unlocked

miss hermes..

#hermes costello #JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #jjba #Stone Ocean #deliart #u see me learning how to draw a new flower and then never visually shutting up about it #this time its magnolias. they rule. ive also never seen one in real life.#as u can all see this dress is clearly taking inspiration from the 2022 f/w gucci collab collection #it had quite a few bangers but the white dress? oh how i want it #i considered drawing it full on but i wanted to try to be a little different at least #also !! slightly more toned down colors here....warm.. cozy.. trying to embrace fall with my entire being despite being a spring enjoyer #really wanted to give it an older painting feel without actually like. painting

having fun with colors for once :P

thanks @creepycoffins for the awesome dtiys :D

#creepycoffinsdtiys #trigun #millions knives #vash the stampede #i haven't drawn nearly enough knives. posted him even less #him and vash are so fun to draw :P ik they have the same face but it's like. fun to experiment with how different i can make them look yk #also admittedly. did most of this at work during downtime so if it looks funky..... my bad #the lighting isn't the greatest aight?? it's night shift and there's no windows but they do dim the lights #i did do the limited coloring i did at home lol. wasnt gon bring more art supplies to work #trying to get back into the swing of things with my drawing. i got myself a huion display for my birthday this year!#on top of my traditional i wanna do more animated stuff #primarily animated bc honestly i don't really wanna learn digital painting or whatever. im not interested in that and i like my harsh style #i'd also like to do more original work. i think last year was literally just trigun fanart lmfaoo #we'll see how things turn out ig #i'm not really holding myself to doing anything bc i don't see that turning out well. i am applying myself to more fan projects at the leas #tho those i'm applying more as a writer lmfao #well anyway. enough about me. i actually really like the drawing this was based off of! i didn't include the full body designs #and tbh vash's design is almost entirely cut out just cuz how the pose worked out :(#so i would highly suggest checking out the original art by the person i tagged!#and their other art's pretty banging as well :D

#trying to learn how to paint let’s go #coloring is so hard why must the world be so vivid and bright #I went into a haze a made this in an hour #which is why he’s missing his hoodie jacket combo 😭#I’d draw kuroo but his hair is a common occurrence in my nightmares #but kenma. the man that u are.#adored him in the new movie like what a little guy #kozume kenma #haikyuu #haikyuu fanart #miras-art

Maxy's post race hair, my beloved. ❤

#yep i'm trying to draw digitally again #even though i know i will paint it with watercolor probably #but i still want to try and learn how to #so then one day i can start making full digital pieces #but i'm struggling with the coloring so it's better to choose the safer option #my art #max verstappen

I hate digital painting actually

#i hate the color wheel.whatever bitchass tool #and the brushes #how the fuck am i supposed to blend nicely #i try to do lineart and my drawing loses what little soul and feeling it had in the sketch phase #i really wanna get out of this 4+ years of artblock but i can't bc nothing works #digital art looks so nice and i wanna learn but every second of trying to do so i just want to get my real pens and paints and paper

#cannabalism tw #(( ooc. ))#not rp related but #i will never be over the fact that we as a collective worldwide society lost hundreds #and potentially thousands of bodies worth of irreplaceable knowledge and archeological evidence #all bc some rich assholes in the victorian era decided they #wanted to rip shots of ground up mummies like they were frat boys on a friday night #......... and the ones they didn't drink like an expresso shot got ground up to make 'mummy brown ' paint bc 'hoh hoh pretty color!'#like shit man. how much could we have learned?? how many insights into the time of pharaohs did we lose forever?? bums me out man #anyway. lurking for a bit. pain's settling so might try a little more writing before i collapse for the night tbh

unfortunately im not immune to overshading but its so i can make yuki look super buff in this drawing so maybe its okay

#i call any piece where i shade too much a study.#buff woman study!#one day ill be free and can do simplistic shading...#cries #also obviously nothings wrong w shading #it just takes so much time for ME personally #even tho its kinda my style #something ive learned is blending or shading digitally is soo different from traditional #w graphite and w painting like #ill try blending thinking 'so if i did this on paper itd look like this'#it never looks like that #so im like learning how to paint and blend digitally for the first time #hence my. momoi paining practice #also my linearts a diff color from usual and its making me cry it looks so harsh #ill fix it when i finish coloring #dies

The problem with painting as a hobby is that it’s exposed the truth that I only have an instinctual understanding of color theory, meaning I only know if the colors work after I do it

#which is slightly difficult when you know you’re PAINTING AND TRYING TO NOT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A DIASTER #agent h #agent report #had no where else to put this lol #I apparently only understand color theory in terms of outfits #so I’m literally being like if I had a gold and dark green gown how would I accessorize it #color theory top of my list of art things I wanna learn #including shadowing drawing from the eye and perspective #hmmmm…

look at my art boy

its Dex my friend Dex that i painted saturday night with my watercolors ^_^

#wind howls #myart #im trying to let go of how i usually draw digitally and with acrylics/oil paints and actually figure out watercolors #they dont tend to give me the result i want because i dont treat watercolors like watercolors and instead try to shape them otherwise #its very hard !!!#but im learning and im quite proud of this !#i particularly like how i shaded the face. it looks like theyre being illuminated by warm light and i think that fucking rules #the rest... im still learning. i havent fully colored segmented horns since i was in secondary school (so about like. 3-4 years ago !)#and i used to draw those in with wooden crayola pencils so its definitely something else with watercolors #anyway i like this. the paper sucks shit which is why its all chewed up and warbled but it got better after i left my sketchbook closed

to avoid thinking about my cat's surgery I've been painting and I am so fucking bad at mixing colors lmao

#im bad at matching colors too #like usually im painting from some random picture i find online but this time im really trying to focus on what im doing #(to avoid thinking about the surgery)#and i am so so bad at color matching lmao #i even used a color match site so i could see what the color of an area REALLY is but even when i do that my colors are wrong #theyre like...the right tone but theyre all too dark #and lightening them with white makes the tone go off #is this color theory? /gen lol I've heard people say you need to learn color theory but i never knew what it was #anyway. for my next trick i will think obsessively about my wip. (to avoid thinking about the surgery)#okay i cant avoid it any longer. i am so fucking glad his surgery is tomorroe #hes having knee surgery and his knee has started CLICKING while he walks #im so nervous i feel like i could go into cardiac arrest but frankly i wish it had been yesterday or the day before #i wish we had taken him to the vet last thursday. i wish i had trusted my gut sooner instead of letting my mom talk me out of it #i wish i hadn't let him walk around with a torn ligament for over a fucking week #i wish we had the vet do xrays on his knees when he was a kitten so we could have prevented all of this #i wish i had a shorter bedframe so he didn't have to jump so high. i wish i could sleep on the floor so i could sleep with him in his cage #i wish i had desensitized him to car rides and vet visits when he was a kitten #i wish we knew who abused him and threw him onto the highway so i could kill them #i wish we had put him on anxiety medication earlier #i wish i was a trained veterinarian so i could do my own exams on him instead of taking him to a place he's terrified of #i wish i was confident enough to give him the injection he needs without fucking it up #god i fucking hope everything goes okay #pretending to laugh about how he'll have a nakey chicken leg isn't even working anymore #wip save me. save me wip
