I was wondering if you have any tips for your perspectives? i dont really know how to do them that well but it seems you have a great handle on them!
Btw I love your art! its soft and happy, I really love your stuff :D
thank you sm!! i love hearing that my art looks happy it's such a nice description 🥺
and for the tips! you've probably heard of vanishing points and horizon lines a bunch of times so i'll try to just give a quick run down of how i understand them + their uses
[2024 edit: just wanted to clarify that this third pic isn’t like a definite rule (none of these are tbf)- the horizon line can be placed at the top and still be close to the ground if you draw the grid right, same goes vice versa!]
tbh once you get the idea of how they work it gets easier to figure out where the points should be. it might help to think that the subject is what determines where the points are instead of the other way round if that makes sense? i learned a lot just by looking at storyboards for fun bc they're everywhere in them jhfkdg
also these grids aren't restricted to being only for the walls or the floor of a room- you can rotate it, put them anywhere you think you might need clarification on where the space around them is etc. just use as many as you need for whatever you need
having multiple grids (like ^ where its above and below the character) especially close together narrows the focus to what's in the middle of them as well!
another way to do this is to think of the subjects being in a box and looking at them from an angle-
and if you want you can break them down to simpler 3D or 2D shapes to see which parts have to get smaller
if you were looking for more perspectives on poses i talk about it a little at the end here
i hope this was clear enough! it's a bit hard to explain but once i learned not to be too hung up on accuracy (ofc to an appropriate degree) and freehanded the grids it makes it a lot more fun to play around with :)
also take everything i say with a grain of salt bc i too am still learning 👍

The crew is turned into animals:
Juno-hound dog adjacent mutt with dark fur, plenty of scars, and the most freakishly strong sense of smell known to dog kind. He takes a long time warming up to folks, as pretty much all his social experiences are negative, but he still is a pack animal who loves with his whole being.
Nureyev- a semi-domesticated raccoon who some idiot decided to teach how to steal stuff as well as a bunch of other random things and which was then released out into the world to cause chaos.
Rita- a small lap dog with a smooshed in face or some other breeding horror and the intelligence of a human being who randomly showed up outside your door and refused to leave.
Vespa- cat. This is an ex-barn cat who is domesticated enough to associate humans with food, but not enough to not bite anyone who tries to pet her before the six year mark.
Buddy- a wolf kicked out of her family who understands that teamwork is the secret to survival and who has therefore built herself a family of her own.
Jet- He's an old bear, big and intimidating, but ultimately not going to attack unprovoked. He's tired from his younger years and is not naturally that social, though he's learned. He's brighter than folks give him credit for.

I had my last singing lesson today and I honestly feel a bit sad that it’s over. Like, sure, I absolutely don’t want to continue and have never been happy over having a lesson scheduled, not even once, but I’ve been at it twice a week for four months, I got used to it, it’ll feel strange to not have to go again. The relief will probably come flooding in on Thursday when, due to a free period, I can go home an hour early and then not have lessons after, and that will hopefully overpower the melancholy

i like being your baby
your kitty
i feel safe with you
but i'm still grieving it all.
bloodied hands confronting their painter,
i doubt it can get more shameful.
the violence of it all terrifies me.
like a puppy who instantly regrets biting their owner,
i want to nuzzle and kiss apologies on your skin.
i'm mourning the safety of submission.
the feeling of belonging and purpose;
i weep over severed intimacy.
it was an honour to be yours.
