Face study!

i was trying to work on colour stylization and time efficiency with this

I messed up her hand :( (I mean I painted this in an hour 20 minutes so I’m not that miffed but still)

Every now and again I come back to this and draw 2 or 3 expression studies here. Expression studies are hard, and very tiring, but seeing the progress clearly visible just on this little square is very satisfying (if anyone’s wondering, I’ve been at this since like February. Progress is slow).

do you like garlic bread

I love garlic anything, to the point where I cannot understand people who don't love garlic in their food.

It also keeps away vampires, which are definitely real.

THE SILKSONG IS REAAAAL (this is fanart of the hornet sentinel fight which is only marginally relevant to silksong but it’s fine trust)

Hi! I'm very new to Tumblr, please be nice

Tumblr's UI deeply confounds me why is this section here help

Anyways, thus far all the experience I've had with Tumblr has been reposts of stuff on Tumblr that float around on Reddit or show up on YouTube...That is to say, I know nothing about Tumblr.

So, what should I know about Tumblr? Are there sides of the platform I should avoid at all costs? Any noteworthy users (by this I mean cool artists, as an artist I need more art to swallow) I should know about? Any silly quirks about the platform that aren't very intuitive?

I'm here because I mostly use Instagram/YouTube (and occasionally Reddit) for social media, 3 platforms that garner the hate of their users with an effectiveness that should be studied in a lab (and posting art on Instagram feels like pouring my heart into the void because I get very little engagement). So I'm hoping Tumblr will be a change of pace.
