hello!!! little life update below the cut, not rlly all that art related so feel free to scroll past ₍^. ̫.^₎ .𖥔 ݁ ˖

firstly thank u for your continued loveliness while ive been gone!! im hoping im able to draw again soon bc i miss sharing my silly little dc scribbs with you all sm :'3

anyway oughghg,, so ive mentioned it a few times on here but over the last year my physical health took a really unexpected turn. it's been difficult to adapt to as someone who grew up fully able-bodied and ive lost most of my friendships along the way since i cant really go out and travel to see people anymore, i think most people where im from are just more comfy looking the other way with these things but it's still just kind of tricky to try to deal with it all on my own. anyway today, after being completely stuck inside for weeks due to mobility issues, i finally got a wheelchair. having v complicated feelings about it all (bit of imposter syndrome lol) but im hoping having some freedom to get out n about again will help bring back a little bit of motivation to sketch!! the combo of fatigue, pain in my hands, and just being stuck inside for weeks on end has made drawing feel impossible recently and ive rlly been missing it so im hoping this can help get things rolling again. even though things r kinda balls rn i'll always do my best to stay optimistic bc no matter what there are always more cool bugs to find and little cats to pet in the world. i hope you all had a happy holiday season, thank you for sticking around (ˊᗜˋ*) ♡

#rambles #2023 was NOT my year 🕺🕺 #staying silly through it all tho 💪 #wishing u all so much joy and silliness for this year <3

you guys are so unbelievably talented and creative oh my god seeing all your cosplays based off my fem jason drawing has just been the absolute coolest thing ever, youre all amazing 😭😭

#when i sort out my annoying chronic health stuff im gonna make sure i come back with lots of fun drawings to share as a thank u #cant get over how cool you guys are its seriously the little light in my life keeping me going rn :'3 #and to those of u who left suggestions/requests in my inbox.. i see u and i havent forgotten >:]c

you’re actually so real for drawing damian like that, like not only is your style fucking insane but you draw damian so beautiful and i dee like everyone just forgets that damian is TALIAs and BRUCEs son. like those genes could NOT make ugly or anything less than drop dead gorgeous and i’m tired of no one talking about it

THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THIS SM!!! its really important to me to try to incorporate damians physical/ethnic features from both sides of his family into my drawings of him since dc tends to sorta just make him look like a mini bruce despite him being also an al ghul lmao, im super happy to hear you could see both his parents in my take on him!!

#why does dc draw him looking like his heads built like a watermelon #anyway thank u so much this was incredibly lovely and im so glad you enjoy my dami drawings!! #i think with his heritage being such an important part of his character it shouldnt be left out of his actual design yknow #i mean it shouldnt be left out regardless but like u get me its a very very important part of his story and who he is #ask crow

hi there!! i came across your art recently and love how you simplify forms for your style!! Do you have any tips on what you did to learn art and develop your current style? Did you take figure drawing lessons or just hyperfixate on an anime?? Any materials/exercises that were particularly helpful for learning how to draw humans? Thanks for your time!

thank u so much!!! i do have some handy info but im gonna put it under the cut so it doesnt clog up ppl's feeds bc it's gonna get a little long, hope this helps out!! ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

ok so!! my top tip is to try out some life drawing classes! you'll often be expected to capture a full body gesture in 5-15 minutes which really helps you learn break the body down into its simplest forms since you wont have time to work on all the details. i only ever did a few sessions since they were part of a design course i was taking but even that alone definitely helped me streamline my process when it comes to planning out poses and making sure things arent looking too stiff

as for developing a style i honestly dont have a super clear answer bc i still find that i feel like my art is vERY very inconsistent, but even with that being said i do still have a few things that've helped personally!! easiest place to start is finding the tools you enjoy working with, for me i have a handful of brushes in csp that i tend to default to which helps form a little bit of consistency across my drawings (ofc dont be scared to branch out!! it's just handy to know what brushes work best for you). the other thing that's influenced my style is reading lots of comics and spending a lot of time looking at other artists' sketches, if you see a specific feature you like in their work try giving it a go yourself!! i remember noticing the contrast of soft and hard shadows in old oil paintings a few years ago n thinking 'ooh ive gotta try that' and ive been using it on my own art ever since. in the end your own style is greatly just a reflection of little things you've loved seeing in other peoples art and once you combine all those you end up with smth uniquely yours which i just think is awesome tbh

and as for shows n stuff that got me drawing, i dont have the coolest answer but as a kid i got super into drawing my friends as my little pony characters lmao i would spend every minute between classes drawing these stupid little rainbow horses and it actually really got me into picking out colour palettes and helped me build up that muscle memory which was what led into me drawing things that were a little more challenging. even if whatever motivates you to draw is considered kind childish or 'cringy' or whatever, dont stop drawing what you enjoy!! i wouldnt be drawing now without the years of pony doodles on homework as a kid and im glad i embraced it. i hope this can be helpful to you, so sorry for the long read but thanks for getting through it all!! good luck as dont be scared to dm me if you ever have any questions, i'll always do my best to help out :D

#omg this got so long but i did my best to keep it concise #rlly great question!! #ask crow

Anon who asked about pretty girl grayson. I just saw your post. Ignore me. Please focus on your health.

omg no worries dude you're all good!! i love having a little backlog of ideas when im taking breaks so i can dive right back into it when im able to draw without having to spend time brainstorming so please dont worry!! ty tho thats rlly considerate and sweet of you :'3

#genuinely loved the suggestion thank u <3 #ask crow

[crowkip]

Would you ever be so inclined to draw a pretty girl Dick Grayson?

BROO DONT EVEN TEMPT ME IM GONNA END UP DRAWING ALL OF THEM

#she'd be SO pretty #i just know her hair would be perfect like even after doing a bazillion backflips off buildings n shit ok #also i gotta give them names oml #i figured jay works fine for jason and some of u also suggested that in the tags #but tf am i supposed to do with the name dick 😭😭 #god idk im just hyped abt the idea of drawing all the batboys as buff women now #catch me out here foaming at the mouth over fem duke fr #ok thats enough rambling but u get the point #ask crow

[crowkip]

I DIDNT REALISE HOW FULL MY ASKBOX WAS IM SO SORRY OMFG I PROMISE IM READING THEM ALL NOW THANK U FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME 😭😭

[crowkip]

Could you draw Dick Grayson, I think he would look great in your artstyle.

ooo ive gotten a lot of requests for him and i can promise you i absolutely will at some point!!! i love him a lot and i think theres def some room to have fun stylising his design which i always enjoy. rn im dealing with a total buttload of medical stuff irl so it's been super hard to find time n energy to draw but dude u can bet once im back on my game im gonna be drawing him <3

#i rlly love him and id love to try drawing him soon!!! #also sorry for being so quiet on here :'33 struggling a bit atm and ive just felt a big discouraged n unmotivated #but i always come back to drawing so i'll have more stuff to share soon im sure :D #ask crow
