#TOO many artists

[exlimix1a]

Hi!! Im not sure if you are still doing the ask game but if you are 5 and 6? :O

5. Anything you haven’t drawn yet but want to?

Oh, so many things. Right now, though, I want to make some adopts bc my funds are slowly draining and I like to make them as character design practice. Also, I've been meaning to make a better stream layout and a pngtuber avatar!

I also have this little thumbnail of Sun with sunflowers I drew when I first came back from my trip that I think would look really cute,

And I want to do art studies!

6. Which artists inspire you right now?

Oohh that's a hard one! I always have a little difficulty picking out people that currently inspire me- but I also like the challenge Cuz I can plug other artists! There are already a ton of Local Fandom Artists that inspire me I'm sure you already know, so I'll talk about other artists!

Bigger artists that have been influencing me for a while are people like Loish, Feefal, ♥ Loonpflug ♥, Kellky, Bagelbird, etc.

Loonpflug is ESPECIALLY inspiring to me right now 🥺 I honestly can't get enough of her work and I'd love to study plants and draw them the way she does! I just don't know where to start or what to study first!! I got some things off of her shop a while back, the Bryophyte Notebook and the Hawthorn Sticker and they're absolutely gorgeous. If I had my way, though, I'd have every single thing on her shop!! I have nothing but admiration for her work and I highly recommend checking her out C:

I'm also subscribed to Loish's patreon- she makes tutorial videos that are especially helpful to me (but she's going to be changing the model in the coming months for who can access the tutorials, so if you're gonna jump in keep that in mind!). She's incredibly skilled and her tips and advice on how to approach form construction, color selection, and composition have been especially helpful for me!

Drawingwiffwaffles also used to be a major inspiration (though I don't watch her as much as I used to), and I think you can see her influence in my work! I admire the way she works especially! Thinking about her and her charming determination inspires me and makes me feel better and more at-ease to try things as many times as I need to to get it right.

A few friends and mutuals here on tumblr also inspire me! (Keep in mind that only a few are sun/moon artists so don't go swarming them with fnaf related asks LOL /srs)

Starlightcloudbaby, Vurelly, Ashimadu, Vinnybox, Vilz, Nothingbutlimbo, and Icecreampizzer to name a few! Oh, and also check out Popfizzles!

I've also been meaning to study more historical artists but admittedly I've slacked on that front. Alphonse Mucha and the Art Nouveau movement as a whole are captivating to me, though C: <3

#Exli speaks #Long post #Ask game #GETS DRAGGED AWAY BY THE NECK #if i had the opportunity i would plug so many artists #TOO many artists #pls check out every single artist here they all deserve it #I also got nervous about the idea of @ ing my mutuals for this in the middle of writing it so i just linked to their pages instead DFGDFGD #IF ANY OF YOU SEE THIS IM SOWWY #this IS inspiring me to go watch some of Loish's tutorials rn though bc i keep forgetting #and also to stare lovingly at Loonpflugs work #'oh thats a hard question!' she says #'thats a difficult one!' she says #proceeds to write and seek the links to artists for 20 minutes #i love love love sending love to artists #asks

"Go to hell" is basic. "Hope your favourite anime movie sequel gets cancelled after seven years in production AND getting an animated teaser." is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happened.

#I don't follow YOI #but seriously though I feel really bad for the fans #Mappa has such talented staff but management's work practices suuuuuck #those guys are probably being overworked on way too many projects and there's been too high a staff turnover to continue the film #like I'd be amazed if any of the original artists are still working on it #imagine working on it knowing now that your work won't see daylight and that none of the overtime or suffering was worth it #yuri on ice #ice adolescence #mappa studio

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles

#lower body muscles notes coming in a month #don't even ask about the forearm there's just too many muscles there #art study #muscles study #upper body muscles #art tutorial #anatomy notes #artists help #nagarart #drawing #digital art #my art #art

“When Scar fell, so did the first drop of rain.”

The moment he died, the desert was brought to life for the first time since the beginning.

The smell of petrichor had never brought a more bittersweet sense of relief, nor a heavier sadness.”

#older art this time because I feel the people here deserve to cry too #in late celebration of third life’s third anniversary #I think I broke it the first time by adding too many tags #I’m simply a yapper #desert duo #grian #goodtimeswithscar #scarian #if you squint #Pigin is artistic

fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started

#i’m part of the demographic where i was a kid when adventure time started and now watching fionna and cake as an adult makes me emotional #because did they keep us in mind when writing fionna and her attitude towards life #the dissatisfaction #the hoping for something more #something more magical than this dreary life filled with working to live and living to work #it’s so reflective of how life feels for me and perhaps many of us #and also Simon’s episode was so sad but so well thought out #exploring his feelings after the events of the adventure time finale is something I’m glad we get to see #there were already so many layers to his character in AT but now it feels like we get to dive deeper #I also felt emotional hearing Rebecca Sugar singing and writing a song that encapsulates his feelings so well #😭 it’s been awhile seeing her work exist alongside these characters #and all of these emotions get stronger because I remember AT being the one to inspire me to be a storyboard artist #when I was younger I used to follow many of the board artists here in tumblr and would get so inspired by them #to create simple but powerful boards that can capture the feelings of characters so well #Rebecca Sugar’s songs for the AT characters inspired me so much too #I’m sorry this is long I’m just feeling so many things experiencing all of this again as an adult #my art #fanart #adventure time #fionna and cake #fionna the human #cake the cat #simon petrikov

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

#learn basic internet etiquette i am begging but also holding a knife. yes i'm mad. more about others than myself. #do you know how many artists i have seen leave social media because their art started being reposted all over? #tip: way too fucking many #i've had many people tell me about people reposting my art on tiktok #no one ever asked to repost my art on tiktok. ever. they just save super fried bad crunchy jpegs of my art and repost them #they get 20k likes and don't even bother naming me #also a reason i started signing my name more legibly and why my blog web address is always there but apparently no one can even read that #a few people got an ok for translations on other platforms though #i'm going to be annoying with this post and reblog it a few times to try to catch the people who apparently need to be told #tiny skk adventures #nawy's comics #nawy's doodles #apparently those are reposters' favourites so here look at this

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

#i need to draw for 2 museums at least to then send it to them as a gift cuz people there were so nice???? AAAA #and yeah im definitely doing back #maybe in autumn... who knows #barghestland #art #artists on tumblr #and #paleoart #??? #in a way it is i guess #also i usually don't share things from my sketchbook. but these drawings hold so many nice memories #of clouds that hide top of the mountains #of sitting on a rock #drawing and seeing a scorpion vibing next to u (tiny friend!) #of leaning on a big cow and almost falling asleep on a field with her after the rain #of... forgetting the pain too #of not wanting to even talk about the wonderful time i've had. because it was only for me to remember #so much happened up in the mountains that i'll never forget #thank u big rocks and soil and grass and apricot trees i love you #... #paleoland

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Jon Snow - and family that haunts him, because sometimes ghosts make for the best love stories.

recently i reread a bunch of my favorite sherlock holmes stories (norw my beloved) and felt compelled to create my own diagram for 221B

#sherlock holmes #there are so many great blueprints and maps out there and i thought it would be fun to toss my own hat into the ring #trying to be accurate to what is mentioned in the books #while still allowing for some fun artistic embellishments #was a nice challenge! #i ended up doing lestrades office too but of course you never do see that in canon so it was much more vibes~ based #i am going to color this and spruce it up some but we needed break here before diving back in #since i think the timelapse of this drawing is longer than some feature films 💀💀💀 #anyway definitely open these images in a new tab and zoom in if you can bc these are really big
