Hi! I just found your blog and your artwork is absolutely fantastic! I love how you use light and shadow, and your mastery is especially evident in your questober work! Question: do you have any one or two particular artists or books that you recommend studying as a novice artist? Thanks! ❤️

Hi friend! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥺 There’s too many great artists for me to name, but I’ll give you a few and the reasons why I think they’re great to study:

For colors and shapes, take a look at Jason McLean, Juliaon Roels, and Scott Wills. All three of these artists have great understanding of color and their shape choices are always inspirational!

For figure drawing and gestures, check out Yujia Wang, Grace Liu, Shiyoon Kim, and Ian Abando. These artists all have amazing foundational knowledge of the human form and it’s a good idea to compare and contrast each of their approaches to how they capture gesture!

As for books, my grandpa taught art for decades and I’ve always had a perpetually growing STACK of drawing books from him. I honestly couldn’t tell you which ones are particularly good or better than the others, and I’d say they’re no substitute for hours of drawing. I would highly recommend “The Noble Approach” by Tod Polson. It’s about the art of Maurice Noble, and you get a look at his design process, his color theories, sketches, etc. It’s definitely my favorite art book :)

I hope this is a good jumping off point, if anyone has anything to add please chime in! :)

Heya! Wanted to say I love your dnd from memory series, it's wild and funny and quite the adventure, also your drawings are absolutely fantastic! It's incredible how much work you put into both the show and your other illustrations! (also wowowow those tarot cards holy heck) Is it possible for you to post some of the illustrations from the dnd from memory series on here as well? I really want to reblog them! Thanks for sharing your art!

WEHHH THANK YOUUUU!!! It means so much to me that people like our story 😭 Episode 4 is in the works, under a new format that’ll hopefully help us get episodes out faster! 👀

Are there any illustrations in particular you want me to post? I drew 120 pictures for episode 3 alone so--

Late, but I promised myself I’d do it! Here’s a sci-fi utopian korrasami for @yarivaltean  - hope you like it! :)

Let’s kick things off with one of the angstier AUs. Based off of @astronomical-bagel ‘s response to this prompt. 

Special thanks to @yarivaltean for drawing this amazing background, for I am a lazy fool who hates backgrounds!

[resonant-sapphics]

@postfuguestate Happy Korrasami Anniversary! Sorry I’m a bit late - although it's still the 19th somewhere, I guess.

Thank you for all the amazing work you share with the community, and thank you for giving me a great chance to write my first fanfic! :D

Hope you enjoy!

Merry Christmas, everyone, and Happy Korrasami Secret Santa gift exchange! I had @yarivaltean. I hope this fulfills your wish. I had a great time writing the story. Normally, I would just post it all on Tumblr in a really long post, howeeeever, this one went a little long on the word count end. So you’re stuck reading it on my ancient fanfiction.net account (one day, maybe I’ll graduate to AO3).

P.S. I know it was due on the 25th and it’s still the 24th in the States, but I haven’t been in America for months, so Christmas came early!
