Will Orion ever return to Barnacle and Dime or is he still haunted by ghosts of takoyaki’s past

What if they have a sale on cool hats

Hes ALLERGIC to discounts it would KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY he would PERISH in AGONY because they are ON SALE and smell like BROKE

also:

if he were to return it would probably be to clog Toothpaste's air conditioners with takoyaki batter and replace her toothpaste with ketchup... for no particular reason in mind.

See this old man?

Can you draw him as a Sharkling? (A humanoid shark since an Inkling is a humanoid squid and an Octoling a humanoid octopus)

Oliver has immaculate style!!

Here's an art request: OC squid forms or default face/pose they'll do when a photo is getting taken of them! 😁

Did some photo faces of OCs, specifically ones I should draw more of! Though with Troy im already drawing him a lot haha, but never as much as Orion, who even in THIS drawing i couldnt resist to draw...

The top three are the main members of Siphon and the bottom three are agents!! I should probably mention Lohanna, who is my agent 8 who is quite the serious but dedicated person, though tends to be cold towards most people. Shes an octarian soldier at heart and never would have left her past life if it werent for her dear friend, agent 7, trying to escape to the surface and roping her up in his plans. However, only one of them managed to come out of kamabo Co. alive, so Lohanna tries her best to live in a place she has always hated from afar, in an effort to make her friend proud.

Also I drew Hubert B. Pubert. The best Lohanna can do is tolerate him most of the time, though there are moments where they recognise their shared trauma (and matching big man tshirts)

dude your art is so GOOD!!! Do you take any classes or have any tips to share? that resource post you reblogged the other day was helpful but i've felt so stuck in my art. I don't know if you have anything u learned that just made something click for u or anything like that?

Tysm anon!!!👍

In terms of your questions, I apologise i advance for the long answer im about to give and possibly things you already know haha:

I guess in terms of what classes i take, Ive gone from GCSE to A level Art and design (Fine art), and both courses have helped me to learn the importance of observation studies.

However, its moreso all the art i practice in my own time that has played the biggest part in my art improvement journey. I adopted art as a big hobby around 2018, and really ever since then I tend to draw/create for myself every day, however big or small it may be.

I guess my first tip would be to indulge in a 'sketchbook' or space to work in freely, it could be any form but the importance is that its personal and can be picked up whenever. I find that having a sketchbook to draw in has really helped with productivity and creating new ideas. I think you can go into a sketchbook space with any mindset and it can work wonders, like for example if you wanted to focus purely on challenging yourself, you can do that! If you just, want to doodle without thinking, go ahead! After all, its a sketchbook for you and nobody else, so go wild!

My next tip would definitely be, when you are feeling stuck in art, to take inspiration from a wide range of different things be it in real life or on the internet, a building or a really cool tree, since I find it defintiely fuels the creation of new ideas/concepts that can provide a path out of that creative rut. I guess to an extent there may always be periods where you have that 'I have no idea what to draw!' Feeling, and thats okay! Sometimes its refreshing that helps the most. But I often see that the solution to being in a rut is usually REFERENCING, wether it be trying to accurately draw the anatomy of an arm or if I just saw a cool design/pose/style on Pinterest and i drew a bunch of wacky characters from it. In fact, I find that places like Pinterest or Resplash are such good resources to hone imagination and generally most art skills by looking at and drawinf from all the cool images (and get some of that inspo!). And if im not using Pinterest, im usually using an art book as reference! (The itsv and splatoon art book helped me so so much lol)

On the topic of REFERENCING, its mega important! Depending on imagination/memory feels pretty good at times but its always beneficial to have image references in your process when you find its good to have them. I woudl always recommend having a reference when drawing poses/expressions/anatomy because the more you use them, the more you learn about how an object like a face muscle, a torso or even light behaves and looks and the easier it is to draw/depict them.

The next tip is uh YOUTUBE, or any account/person who's art inspires you in particular. I found that certain channels like Ethan Becker, Marc Brunet, Marco Bucci and more have helped me the most to gain confidence in drawing and learning how to practice it better. Of course, theres a lot to learn from a plethora of other channels too, even ones that dont specifically promote themselves as teachers! Also, if theres a certain style/art approach or an artist that appeals to you, study it in any way you like! Analyse an artist's work or ask/find out about their personal process (or even watch a speedpaint/art stream)! Sometimes it can be a big inspiration booster and skill boost to do just that (plus the 'artist' could be any piece of media/thing too!! Like a game or something).

Ok ok last paragraph haha, on the topic of your last question. Thinking back, its hard for me to define any specific moment or thing that gave me a 'click' moment. Its more like a process of growth that starts with learning and understanding a new thing, then familiarizing myself with using it successfully/'correctly' by studying and practicing, so that eventually its like muscle memory or easier to use in my work.

Hope this helps!!! If theres anything else you want to ask, dont be afraid to dm or send another ask!!

#ask #answer #art #im still learning so much but heres all that i can give in its long windedness #theres stuff from like #less than a year ago that i would def redraw haha #but i guess most artists feel that way about some of past work #anywayy #listening to music while sketching away GOES HARD but that might jut be me

Can you draw a doodle of Orion? :]

drew him taking his weekly bathe in his takoyaki sauce jacuzzi, an important ritual for takoyaki connoseuirs who practice the art of excelling in takoyaki making by becoming the takoyaki themselves. Its also an excuse to get away from his cousins.

i also just drew this for fun, trying to imagine how he would look in the game but thats very hard lol

I also havent formally posted this one yet but i drew a samurai design for him a few weeks ago, mainly taking reference from kimono styles in the Edo period (which i think best fits him tbh).
