Do you have any tips on getting better at anatomy and dimension? You always draw such beautiful, dynamic and expressive people!! So i was wondering if you have any tips for people who struggle with that? I also love whenever you share your life drawings because your sketches always look so smooth and effortless, and I would really like to learn but I have no idea where to start lol. I know you're probably sick of being asked this but I really look up to your art!

hello! i’m so honoured, thank you! i would normally say “live sketching is the best way to improve!” but you’ve already seen my live sketches so ill see if i can list down all the other things that helped me with my art journey:

using references - online, but also references of yourself (or someone you know who can do it for you). you are going to be able to get exact references to what you want to draw when you pose for it yourself. this is something i started considering only after i was forced to do acting for animation at uni. it’s really helpful!

learn to draw cloth and folds. when you’re drawing people there’s a 90% chance they’re in clothes, so observes and see how different materials look when they’re hanging or scrunched up or blowing in the wind.

the coil technique by sycra helped me out a LOT when i was trying to figure out foreshortening and make the character still seem like a solid structure.

line weight is another great way to show volume without shading. it also makes the line art process a lot of fun!

and i’ve heard many other artists say this and i stand by it too. find something you’re interested in and keep drawing for it. eventually you’re gonna get really good at it! and then you find the next thing and keep drawing that!

if anyone has any more tips feel free to leave it in the replies! i hope you have a good time drawing <3

Have you watched young royals s3?

i did! it was a really good season!

#lilbirdie5678

[kidovna]

just curious are we allowed to use your art as pfps ?

yeah! as long as it’s not one i’m already using (on here or @tryingonametaphor) 👍🏽

Okay, in all seriousness. I used to ship them until s3 came out. Their s3 relationship just wasn’t what I’d expected them to be like (mike being misogynistic and el spying on mike when it’s a clear breach of his boundaries) and I’d never lost interest in a ship as fast as I did with them. season 4 showed me all the reasons why will and mike are more compatible and now here we are.

Your art is so cute. Also I didn't know you used to ship Mileven. When did you stop?

thanks!! <3 i still ship them - gonna draw them more starting today!💛💜

#sorry for goofing around! 🙈 #april fools is over in india at least so clarifying #mileven

manifested mileven at the snowball in 2016, so now I’m manifesting byler at senior prom🪻🌻

#updated haircuts!!! #byler #stranger things #byler fanart #mike wheeler #will byers #artovna #the fact that there were times when I LOVED mike/el so much and now I just get sad every time I see them is crazy #no one talk to me about the l bloody smitten comment. sorry I briefly made you British in 2016 dustin #random fun fact: finn wolfhard liked that old artwork on instagram when I first posted it and I hadn’t even tagged him. #I’d tagged him in a few other mike wheeler pieces I’d done and I guess he was snooping 😆 #back when the cast weren’t so popular and they were so little 😭 #prom byler

I still can’t believe I got about 50% of his outfit colour-blocking right over a year ago

#very far off with what mike’s wearing #but in my defence I didn’t expect him to go back to sweaters and long sleeved polos LOL #stranger things #will byers #thoughts #okay THIS is my last will byers day post #sorry if you’re not interested in him 😔 that’s my child 😔

[kidovna]

he could’ve been wearing a shirt that said ‘i’m in love with mike wheeler’ and it would’ve been less obvious than this

#stranger things #will byers #artovna #st5 spoilers #okay okay that’s all #i promised to let myself take the day off for his bday and now I’m back to work
