name swap

i switched the names of both this blog and my main art blog. 

so my main art blog is now @cthulhubrain​ (instead of its former name ‘cthulhusquid’, which i put here on this sideblog to hold)

go give it a follow if you’re still hanging out here looking for art.

i reiterate: the art blog is @cthulhubrain​

#update 2023

i made a new art blog @cthulhusquid  since this one’s been soft-blocked -_- 

go follow me there if you want arts. (i might save this for a nsfw art blog later but like… enh)

me looking through pokemon art: why isn’t there more cilan art, why isn’t there rowlet & cilan art

my brain: you know... you can just... draw it yourself...

;___;

#pokemon #rowlet #pansage #cilan #jfkdlsa; #i feel like i never finish anything anymore

#pokemon #gym leaders #gymleaders #cilan #skyla #i really like her design even now #she's adorable #pokemaning #cilan is the kind of customer service worker who like... #will wear the most calm content smile at you while you die in front of him #having to balance out the impulsive loudness of chili #and the snooty above-it-all obliviousness of cress #while having his own EXTREME idiosyncrasies unique to him #i love him

do you have any tips on drawings noses? particularly non-white noses?? all the tutorials are european noses and i just want to learn how to draw my own nose!!

oh i feel you. the nice thing about being a poc is that you can always study yourself in the mirror to learn how to draw yourself better! but anyways:

if you’re wondering which kinds of noses are frequent for which race, i like to use this guide. I can’t verify how accurate it is, but it’s pretty damn comprehensive for racial traits around the world. I also really like this guide for learning how to draw a variety of East Asian noses (it’s not all flat!). Here’s an equivalent guide that includes drawing African noses. And there’s always Google images for more specific requirements.

+ 3D models are really helpful when drawing noses: x x x

+ here are some general nose tutorials by better artists lol: x x

#for you nose-strugglers out there #i love me some attention to noses #it's one of my fave parts to draw #you can do so much with them

i just... i really love the way murkrow 1: stands instead of float/flying like other flying type pokemon during battles. and 2: bops to some imaginary tune only it can hear ouo

it’s precious

#murkrow #pokemon #pokemaning #i just #i love them #so freaking much #moi #i've been forced to draw smaller with this tiny booklet i have #only size convenient enough to take with me ;n;

um.... i’ve been patiently playing hogwarts mystery lately, trying my best to live the true slytherin experience.

fucksnape. i should be teaching potions. gettouttahere.

#hogwarts mystery #moi #pff 'science' of potionry GET OUTTA MY FACE WITH THAT #you wouldn't know science if it bit you on the ass mr childabuser #jeebus #you can't make me not love potionry #no matter how hard you try #and how much you treat me like a gryffindor #>:I

An artist : Aw man! I saw my arts were reposted on Instagram. I’ve asked them to take my arts down but they ignored me.

Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)
