#I LOVE THE SHADING YOU USED

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

At the start of this project all I wanted was to 'learn how to draw' using comics as a medium and the MDZS audio drama as inspiration.

I've come *very* far from making simple, 3 panel black and white comics, and I truly do intend to go even further. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on throughout 2023, it has been an incredible year in so many ways I never could have imagined. I look forwards to drawing throughout 2024 B*)

#poorly drawn mdzs #art summary #It's so interesting looking back at how my style and technique changed throughout the year! #I used PD-wwx as the consistent factor (October is an exception) and you can see so many processes going on. #My little petri dish amoeba (with a little red bow to tell him apart from the other amoeba) <3 #Whether it's getting new markers or trying out a new shading style - it's cool seeing a snapshot of my journey like this B*) #There's certainly been a slower curve to my overt improvement *but* I have become so much faster! #My life outside of drawing has been hectic and at several points extremely stressful this year. For all the work this blog has been- #-It has truly been a life saving anchor when the darkest of times have hit. #Love is hard work. Change is even harder work. Sticking to a goal I set out for myself and striving to keep going was worth it. #And I love drawing. I think there has always been something in me that longed for this. And it is finally tangible! I can draw!!! #I wanted to make a more elaborate year reflection where I looked back at my favourite comics and jokes. #but I'll leave that to the one year anniversary. #I have also been collecting a ton of statistics throughout the year and I am desperate to share them. I'm that kind of nerd B*) #I can never say it enough: Thank you all for the kindness and support. I wish everyone a lovely 2024!!!

For those who don't have Twilight Princess but would like to know:

The move Twilight performed while fighting Dink is called the helm splitter. It's one of the Hidden Skills that the Hero's Shade, aka Time (but as a skeleton oof) taught him

This move is often an instant kill. It is harder against Lizalfos, so the goal is to quickly turn around and deliver a slash. He lands with his back to the enemy- which made Dink grab him from behind (and bit Twi's arm ouch). But it's one of the most powerful moves Shade taught him- he practically ripped out Dink's shoulder.

One of the art screenshots is not Lu, but art Jojo did of shade teaching him to do it. (Can confirm it was terrifying- bro stopped the blade an inch from Twi's head- after telling him it's called the helm splitter)

#love that Twi's using the skills Time taught him #also doing this move in game feels really badass tbh #run away dink #linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu #lu twilight #hero's shade #Lu time #lu dink #twilight princess #I know that many have already pointed this out and or already know #I wanted to include videos and stuff but never want to imply I know things that others don't #and if you have the links (heh. pun) to posts where others pointed out similar or the same stuff I want to see them!!! because!! #literally everyone's thoughts are so cool and valuable? I love you guys never stop creating #and if I ever say or imply anything offensive let me know because I want to learn always #:)

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

Pac: Oh, and I have a lot of like, materials. If you want some materials Fit, and you wanna grab maybe like, from Chume Labs, you can pick it up, ok?

Fit: [Sincerely] Oh, thank you Pac. Thank you. You're too- you're too good to me Pac, you're too good to me.

Pac: Yeah, you're too good to me too, Fit.

Fit: You're so thoughtful, you're so thoughtful. So thoughtful.

Pac: [A bit bashful] Oh, thank you.

Fit: [Laughs]

#FitMC #Pactw #Hideduo #QSMP #FitPac #January 16 2024 #I've noticed that in the beginning Fit used to say ''You're too good to me'' kinda to tease his friends #but over time it really feels like Fit's way of saying ''I love you'' #He says it to Ramon and Phil and Tubbo and Pac #but I think this is the first time someone's said ''You're too good to me too'' #Phil's teased him back ofc but he's never said it the way Pac did #*melts into a puddle* q!Pac my beloved... kind-hearted man... #Q #Using Phil's subtitle color for Fit this time since his usual color blended in too much with the background #still fiddling with the right shade I like for Fit

'before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves' what a stupid quote. im killing way more than two people idiot

#hxh #hunter x hunter #kurapika #kurapika kurta #i watched 99 and rewatched most of 2011 the week i was sick and had SO much fun with it #and i caught up on the manga also #this piece was so hard because i was fighting every single natural stylistic tendency i have #my use of shape is so weak and i obscure it with loose lineart and textures and harsh lighting #so i was like ok. no lineart no textures no shading u have to draw EVERYTHING with the straightedge lasso tool #boy i almost died. but it looks sick #i don’t think i need to tag this as spoilers but madison please let me know if you want me to spoiler tag hxh posts for you #if anyone is interested in prints let me know. i would love to make prints of this one #wherefore art thou

I love the shapes you use to draw machete, or really any character!! The way you draw noses, ears, bodies, fur, it looks like of I were to reach my hand out I could actually feel it, the bumps in the skin the squish of the flesh the softness of the hair. Not to mention the colors you use are very pleasing to the eye. So lovely... keep up the phenomenal work!!!

Ah, thank you so much!

#that's actually one of the tricks I use when I'm having trouble getting the shape and form of something right #I try to visualize the thing right in front of me and rotate it around and look at it from different angles #and imagine that if I could touch it how flexible and yelding it would be and what the surface would feel like #since I don't shade my art very dutifully the sense of tangibility has to come from somewhere else #so I guess I'm putting a lot of eggs in the shape basket #and I try to give off the effect that despite the flatness of my style the things I draw still exist in 3d space and have weight and volume #I've talked about this before but man I love anatomy it's one of my favorite things in the world #I specifically try to convey the feel that there's layers of muscle and bone and various other tissues under the skin #like my characters are made of flesh and not solid uniform rubber coated with fur or something like that (?) #I don't know what I'm talking about it's late hah #but I'm glad you like my art #anonymous #answered

Here with this surge of Linebeck crap takes these drawings I drew today of the guy himself

The one drawing I actually traced cuz I want my sister to make me a shirt BRKSBSKSVSKSN

#I did the shading myself tho #so if anyone wants a Linebeck shirt and they have that cricket thing you are free to use it! #Linebeck #phantom hourglass #I’m in love with him #he’s my wife

i think we should bring back coins being able to actually be a reasonable method of buying things because there is just this inherent swag to coins that paper bills just don't have. come to think of it this is not a surprising opinion at all coming from a dragon but like still

#listen paper bills can have swag but it's a different kind of swag to coins and i feel we're really missing out on the coin swag #unless you're in the usa of course in which case you don't even get paper bill swag because our money is completely swagless #just different shades of green‚ government buildings‚ and portraits of morally dubious dead guys #either way we need more opportunities to use coins here than just the bouncy ball vending machine #not to discount the bouncy ball vending machine i think it's awesome and i love bouncy ball. but like how often do you see those really

First (successful) attempt at arting in CSP :”D This took ten years off my life and I questioned myself every step of the way but I learned a lot from playing around in a new program. Will I ever do something this detailed again?? My brain says no but my heart says maybe!!

#There's lots of things I LOVE about CSP and lots of things I. Do not love #Like the fact that custom brushes exist and make my life a million times easier when doing backgrounds.........LOVE that #The fact that I can't fully replicate my shading brush from SAI. Do NOT love that #Anyway I'm going to bed please don't make me look at this ever again. Lmao #Genshin Impact #Nahida #Lesser Lord Kusanali #Genshin Nahida #Digital art #Art #Btw I did the lineart/base colors in SAI and the shading/BG in CSP :') #I have my exact drawing brush from SAI in CSP but I just. I don't like the way it handles #I'll probably do shading and stuff in CSP but stick to SAI for lineart purposes #Shima arts #I was looking at a lot of my favorite artists who use CSP and tried replicating but man. #I don't think this super detailed way of shading is for me. It just doesn't fit #But that's fine I learned smth from this!!! #I only cried TWICE today are you guys proud of me. LOL #shima-draws
