"Two tickets for the Barbie movie, please!"

Uwahaaaaaa I've spent so long on this that my shoulders hurt. ;^; Anyways, I've been planning on seeing the Barbie movie for a long while since it's been announced. And what better way than glamming up some handsome goofballs!? On the left is Robbie Robs, from @clownsuu ! On the right is Colt Cattlemen, from @thelone-copper !

I'll be putting more tidbits and stuff below a cut since I don't want to make this too long. I fear the images are rather large and I am not helping with blocks of text. ^^;;

Here are the references for their outfits! I already knew the perfect dress for Robbie before I even started. Though Colt's outfit was mostly just me having to struggle, Ken does not get good outfits all the time. ;n; vvvv

Robbie is based on the Barbie fashionista doll from 2009. This is the one! Colt is very, and I mean verrrry loosely, based on this Ken fashionista doll from 2010. Here he is! Not as stylish as I wanted so I dyed it pink, lol. :0]

Anyway, I thought that for the funnsies they went together late, and Robbie—stole—borrowed the dress from Lovelie! But I also like to think perhaps the two had a small spat as to who would be Ken and who would be Barbie. Robbie won.

I think that will be it! I don't know how the end this off other than have a lovely and wonderful week!!!! :D <3

🌸💗

Here's a little sketch I did during the reunion stream, since I don't have any wedding related artwork yet! (But oh boy I will be doing that next, don't worry lol) so please excuse the messiness of the lines, I didn't feel like doing clean lineart.

Ahhh, your new update looks so wonderful! The dots-thingy we talked about looks amazing here -- having a lower opacity and/or keeping it for the background really does the trick, as well as adding some spacing between the dots and the characters to make them stand out. And using shades of grey to differentiate elements? Perfect.

"the nitty-gritty details"?? I love Donnie talking like Big Mama. If this is something you've done before, I still wanna point it out lol

My favourite panels:

I am sooo reblogging it on my new TMNT sideblog lol

Also, what program/app do you use for making the comic? Do you draw on a tablet or do you use a PC and a graphic tablet? And how do you do your lineart? It looks so beautiful and so clean. I looooove it.

Keep going <3

aw wow thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! and yeah i was really trying to sort of take what i attempted in the previous update but make it look a bit better, so i just did a lot of looking at what other tmnt artists have done and also looking at some like tutorials for greyscale comics and i ended up with this!!!

and yeah those panels were actually some of my favorites to draw ksldjhfalkjdshf specifically the first one you attached to the ask i had such a blast with that one

i am trying to like make donnie speak a bit more like big mama but a lot of the time i just forget salkdfjhlkasjdhf or i have a hard time incorporating her speech patterns into his way of talking but im working on making my dialogue better so hopefully i can incorporate that some more!

and i use clip studio paint! for lineart i just have my stabilization on suuuuuuuuperr high or maybe its not super high? idk my stabilitzation is at 20 rn for my lineart brush and i thought it was a lot higher but i also have no reference for how much people use stabilization for their lineart so idk oh and yeah i draw on my laptop! i have a wacom tablet that i hook up to it and i draw that way!

Lookie, i made some Fred's head fanart, it's on sticker paper so i can eventually stick it to something ahhh!!

Also i might redo fred, i did the skin after the lineart and it smudged so much

I wanted to do something with fashion but realized I don’t know a thing about fashion... 

Also I did something with the lineart and the colors but now I forgot how I did it ahhh-

How did you get your art to be so beautiful and lovely???? (rhetorical) Genuinely I am in awe of all of the FE3H portraits you've been doing!!! I adore how you draw and shade eyes and hair especially, and how well you draw really expressive faces! It's super impressive!!! Thank you for sharing it with us! <3

Ahhh, thanks so much! :3 I'm really grateful for the practice I'm getting from all these requests. Hopefully the improvement will show up soon! For these individual portraits, its a lot easier to bring out each character's trademark colors.

I'm always learning and improving, but I'm always happy to speak on whichever art topic people are interested in, such as lineart, coloring, anatomy, etc. I figure it would help get more incredible artworks into the world :3

[aemiron-main]

I adore your artstyle. I feel like I'm never happy with my own cause it looks so boring and unstylized. Got any good tips?

AHHH THANK YOU ANON!! <<333

And believe me, I’ve been in your shoes. Seriously. Even now, I still have 26474885 new things I want to try with my art and things I want to change. But I DO have some tips for you- hopefully theyre good tips!

So, I think one of the key things is looking at other artists and pulling their art apart.

Practice and spending the time actually creating art is important, but I’d argue that spending time analyzing art is equally important. I spend a lot of time looking at art, and then instead of just staring at it, I try and figure out what EXACT elements of it that I want to incorporate into my own work. For example, if I like the way somebody does lineart, and the way another person does their rendering, I’ll try and figure out how they did it & why I like it & try to combine it with the way another artist does rendering or lines/the way I want to do them. I spend a LOT of time pulling at apart, seriously. I send various pieces to my own private discord server channel & literally talk to myself about them and what exactly I like about them and how EXACTLY I want to change my own work. I do probably as much typing as I do drawing when it comes to art.

Also, a good question to ask yourself when you see a piece of art you like is “I like this art, BUT- do I want my art to look like this?”. There’s artists whose styles I ADORE, but I don’t want my art to look like theirs- for example, I love looking at people with super heavily stylized art with only flat colouring & no rendering, but it’s not how I want my art to look & isn’t the type of art that I enjoy creating.

So, being able to pull apart various pieces and go “okay, WHY do I like this piece and DO i want MY art to look like this?” is something that’s definitely helped me.

I also think it’s super important to set actual, solid goals and figure out what you want your art to do.

What I mean when I say “figure out what you want your art to do,” is in terms of “okay, well, do you want everything more flat and visible with less rendering and less volume? or more rendering and more volume? Do you want to focus on design/concept work? Do you want to be able to do complex poses or complex lighting or both? What matters more to you- having a painting with dramatic, heavily contrasting lighting, or having a style where everything is easily visible & not obscured by shadow, or some combination of the two? Do you want to be good at drawing couples? Complex backgrounds? Both? HOW do you want to draw those couples and complex backgrounds? Lots of volume? Minimal volume? Focus on lighting? Focus on lines? Somewhere in between? tc"

Personally, I try and visualize it as a give and take situation/a sliding scale with tradeoffs when it comes to stylization. On one side of my scale, I’ve got super linework-focused, flat colours art that’s more focused on shape and less focused on volume and minimal lighting. On the opposite side, I’ve got super rendered, painterly art with complex lighting. And I’ve been trying to find an ideal combination of the two, and that’s where the tradeoffs I mentioned come in.

My work used to be even MORE linework heavy than it is now/flatter (which is great, just not the direction I wanted to personally keep going), and I had SO much trouble doing painting/rendering and it frustrated me and I couldnt figure out why. But then, I realized I had to make a tradeoff- my complex linework didn’t work well for heavily rendered styles, because the sketches/drawings/lines for paintings on that “super rendered basically no visible linework” side of the art scale are generally meant to be more for function rather than form.

My lines weren’t serving the function they needed to, they weren’t doing the heavy lifting that they needed to, so the rest of the painting would collapse & wouldn’t work and I would get frustrated as all hell when trying to paint.

What I mean when I talk about the lines doing heavy lifting is what I said earlier with the sketches in painterly styles generally being more function over form. I needed to think of my lines as supporting the painting and acting more as a *map* for things like the lighting (see: shadow mapping) & as using fewer lines to make room for more volume (the tradeoff). My lines weren't doing that, I wasn't really thinking about where I was putting them/how I was using them/how they interacted with other elements of the piece (such as the lighting & how that affects the way I do lines).

I also highly highly highly recommend the book/resource "anatomy for sculptors"- you can find a bunch of excerpts from it on pinterest/all over the internet, but it really is a phenomenal resource and a unique resource IMO because it does a really great job of demonstrating the link between the anatomy vs the planes of the face/shapes that make up that anatomy, and bridging the gap between 2D shapes and 3D forms.

Also, just some basic tips that help me in general: -Your areas of detail should also be your areas of high contrast. This sounds more complicated than it actually is, but basically, it doesn't matter how much detail you put in a low-contrast area of a painting, because it won't show up (because it's low contrast). So, keeping your high contrast areas as your detail areas is a good thing to keep in mind, esp when working on more complex paintings. -General proportion "rules". I try and keep in mind some general rough tips like "the eyes should have the width of one eye between them," and "the face should be roughly the sized of a splayed out hand".

-Straights vs curves. I think about the straight lines vs the curved lines a LOT in my art.

-What works for me may not work for you. Different people think differently. What works for other artists may not work for either or us. What works for other artists may work great for you but not for me.

Also, experiment with different brushes. They DO make a difference. No brush will fix a lack of understanding of the fundamentals, but a brush that works for you will make those fundamentals easier to learn/apply. Personally, I draw with a combination of the default photoshop pressure opacity tapered airbrush and one of Ruan Jia's free textured square brushes.

And also, experiment with overlay layers/all those different types of layer. Seriously, that was a gamechanger for me, especially in terms of stylization and giving more of my art that warm feeling/look that it has. My art actually usually starts out very cool toned and I slowly warm it up via colour changes and various yellow (or other colours) overlay/soft light etc layers.

And I don’t say any of this to box you in/overwhelm you, just to give you a list of things I wish I knew sooner.

Also, I think people focus too much on having one consistent style. I 10000% understand needing to have a consistent style for commission purposes, but as far as just developing your art goes. just experiment and figure out what you like and what works best and the style WILL come.

ANYWAY! Hope this helped, I'm like half awake rn so it's not as coherent as I'd like it to be.

For the artist asks, 4, 8 and 16!

4. Favourite things to draw?

8. What do you like most about your own work?

ahhh I guess I just like that it's my own, yknow, like damn I made this!!! I actually did!!! can you believe that. so cool.

16. What’s the most daunting part of your process? Ex, planning, sketching, lineart, rendering etc

has to be lineart... shaky hands n shit. I don't even attempt to make it clean anymore lol

planning is also up there. you never actually know what the finished product will look like, I can never replicate anything I imagined perfectly (obviously)

is minatos dress inspired by something? or did you design it yourself :) ?

The design involved exactly two thoughts lol :D

In the beginning of the year everyone was doing those "Happy year of the rabbit" thingies, which was a perfect excuse to put your fave characters in sexy bunny costumes, right? I wanted to join the fun and searched for a nice referece. This was the one chosen:

I had the lineart down and all and was thinking what color I should give it. And well, with Minato it was pretty easy. The result:

New Hokage dress just dropped ^^ Dude now got into drag. I had so much fun with it that I simply stick to it and it's now my sole mission in fandom to spread Drag Queen Minato. (I should have chosen Minato as new profile pic and not the robin in that case ... hmmm... ahhh, decisions! /o\)

i think my ask may have been eaten but for the identifying thing! for rendered pieces definitely the lighting, but i have to say your lineart is pretty recognizable too. something abt the combination of sharp edges and how you draw the face i think?

also you really highlight the outlines usually with either a really vibrant color or just white for less saturated drawings.

Yes, Tumblr did eat your ask so I'm glad you sent another one. :)

Ahhh, yess, angles my beloved. But also love me some curved lines. Which leads to curves plus angles in my facial and body structure which makes for a unique look for sure.

Like I said before, I love me a bright highlight. There's something so satisfying about bright, eye-catching highlights.
