re:kinder goofy (for the most part) doodle dump !!! last two are from. five months ago when i was barely starting to draw these characters but i found them amusing 😊 enjoy snacks
How long did you practice getting your artstyle? I just would like to know so I can try experiencing different methods of drawing.
Honestly I didn't practice as much as analyzing every good art I stumble upon. Practice is a surefire way to develop your art style for sure, but I also noticed myself improving even if I draw like. Three times a year.
Pretty simple, it goes like this; I see an eye catching art, and then I try to think how they did it. What parts made it look 'good' to me? Sometimes I noticed the art was overlayed with texture, I noticed the lineart is colored with something saturated when it hits a light source, I noticed they added gradient to the base color, I noticed it's easier to render by multiplying the whole base color with something desaturated and then overlaying it with desired light source color, and so on, I just noticed a lot of things. It's just a habit to stop and stare when I see something cool now.
(Sometimes the art looks so good I got too intimidated to even think of analyzing it, but I try anyway.)
This is also true for drawing fanarts by the way! Do you know a lot of times Sans' socket's bottom ridge (that protruding thing near his nose hole) points in the general direction of the end of his mouth? This basis is pretty useful when you want to draw his skull from different angles.
My art style is just an amalgamation of other art styles, basically! I didn't set a goal in getting my art style or anything, it just sorta happens.
how cool are you with like. spam reblogs bc i keep staring at ur art really hard and then doing a total 180 and end up not reblogging anything which is REALLY lame but it's bc i know myself and wanted to avoid spamming as much as possible bc id end up reblogging 95% of ur posts BAUDHJSF
MEGA 10000000% ENCOURAGED ACTUALLY if you like it a lot then go for it!! i dont find it annoying at all and im surethat goes for a lot of artists. i think i can safely say we're just glad u like it enough to go "HEY LOOK WGAT THIS PERSON MADE". also id take it over a row of likes any day
if you are worried about spamming notifications you could always try queueing or saving it as a draft!! so you can decide when you want it reblogged or let the site decide for u <3
Haven't done as much crochet today as yesterday bc I was working on writing earlier, but I still made some progress!!! I was working on it while watching the FMA:B finale episodes. It makes me so happy that it's become muscle memory enough for me to be able to watch a show while crocheting. Bc that was the point in the first place!!! Get smth I could do with my hands as I watch or listen to something else. And this has developed Splendidly.
The scarf will be a rather short scarf. But it will still have decent length for what it is!!!! Only 3 days after I taught myself how to crochet, and I'm already nearing finishing a scarf. How exciting!!!
here’s a quick white-browed tit-warbler speed paint ! because I found out procreate has an automatic time lapse replay of all your works
edit!: keeping this pinned for a while so I’m adding some extra links to other works(not everything, for I did not think to tag most in ways I could actually remember), in case you’re interested:
art!
writing!
-> will be adding more in the future!(probably) :>
Crafting update! I successfully got the teddy bear pattern seam allowance added and all the pieces cut out, crocheted almost an entire bunny head, and made like a fourth of an origami stellated icosahedron out of post it notes
I’m still having trouble making myself focus on one specific craft at a time but hey! I made progress on three of them today!
i am So shy with black eyeshadow i get so nervous about applying it due to potential fallout (i always do my base makeup before eye makeup) + the black shadows i have are NOT pigmented enough after being blended out so i HAVE to pack them on
One of those ‘non-x fans; pick something that happens in the show’ but it’s about Color Show and the options are 'pick which of these writing choices pissed you off the most’
not the cast and crew of various franchises having to make twitter announcements about now they don’t stand for racism after their actors get harassed to hell and back by fans every single goddamn time
I've had a hard time articulating to people just how fundamental spinning used to be in people's lives, and how eerie it is that it's vanished so entirely. It occurred to me today that it's a bit like if in the future all food was made by machine, and people forgot what farming and cooking were. Not just that they forgot how to do it; they had never heard of it.
When they use phrases like "spinning yarns" for telling stories or "heckling a performer" without understanding where they come from, I imagine a scene in the future where someone uses the phrase "stir the pot" to mean "cause a disagreement" and I say, did you know a pot used to be a container for heating food, and stirring was a way of combining different components of food together? "Wow, you're full of weird facts! How do you even know that?"
When I say I spin and people say "What, like you do exercise bikes? Is that a kind of dancing? What's drafting? What's a hackle?" it's like if I started talking about my cooking hobby and my friend asked "What's salt? Also, what's cooking?" Well, you see, there are a lot of stages to food preparation, starting with planting crops, and cooking is one of the later stages. Salt is a chemical used in cooking which mostly alters the flavor of the food but can also be used for other things, like drawing out moisture...
"Wow, that sounds so complicated. You must have done a lot of research. You're so good at cooking!" I'm really not. In the past, children started learning about cooking as early as age five ("Isn't that child labor?"), and many people cooked every day their whole lives ("Man, people worked so hard back then."). And that's just an average person, not to mention people called "chefs" who did it professionally. I go to the historic preservation center to use their stove once or twice a week, and I started learning a couple years ago. So what I know is less sophisticated than what some children could do back in the day.
"Can you make me a snickers bar?" No, that would be pretty hard. I just make sandwiches mostly. Sometimes I do scrambled eggs. "Oh, I would've thought a snickers bar would be way more basic than eggs. They seem so simple!"
Haven't you ever wondered where food comes from? I ask them. When you were a kid, did you ever pick apart the different colored bits in your food and wonder what it was made of? "No, I never really thought about it." Did you know rice balls are called that because they're made from part of a plant called rice? "Oh haha, that's so weird. I thought 'rice' was just an adjective for anything that was soft and white."
People always ask me why I took up spinning. Isn't it weird that there are things we take so much for granted that we don't even notice when they're gone? Isn't it strange that something which has been part of humanity all across the planet since the Neanderthals is being forgotten in our generation? Isn't it funny that when knowledge dies, it leaves behind a ghost, just like a person? Don't you want to commune with it?
