Kremy: Time for plan G. Frost: Don’t you mean plan B? Kremy: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties. Gideon: What about plan D? Kremy: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago. Twig: What about plan E? Kremy: I’m hoping not to use it. Torbek dies in plan E. Gricko: I like plan E.

art... tutorial? backgrounds

but really i'll just be outlining my process, probably. if it works for you, take it! if not, we probably just work differently, and that's okay!

so! now we will get a glimpse into... whatever the fuck it is that i do. i'm going to be honest with you all, i'm not even entirely sure how i do this sometimes! i honestly surprised myself with this one, but i think i know myself well enough to piece apart what was going on in my head.

so.

let's dissect my art, shall we?

okay. i don't have any wip shots for this, BUT i can tell you when i started, it looked something like this (by the way, i do this gray background to reduce eye strain):

(anatomy video: Karina Teaches Anatomy from Drawfee Extra)

i started with the head. i only had a rough idea of what i wanted (kaneki sitting on something like a wall). so i had to then figure out:

what kind of wall?

what goes around the wall?

what shortcuts can i take, here?

that last question is my favorite, because i am a low-energy, constantly tired, disabled son of a bitch and even drawing things i love tires me the fuck out. SO. here's where it gets fun:

when you look at manga, and there are fences, sometimes whatever's behind the fences will be not drawn, because that'd get too visually cluttered. if i can find a reference, i'll put it here. if not, just keep an eye out for it. (this is part of what i love about manga. you have an entire book of art at your fingertips, even if you just have one volume. find a series whose style/story you love. art tips bayybeeee)

that's shortcut one. i drew in the wall, added a bevel to the edge to make it look more. wall-like. i also had part of the fence sketched in at this point BUT forgot to add it to the next THREE SCREENSHOTS and had to redo some of them. i'm using a layer mask and had to redo it so that's why it looks all wonky later on.

then bricks. now i honestly do NOT know why i chose this brick design? i think i was just tired and thought, "i need something. vaguely brick-like to indicate bricks. how would a more cute-style artist draw this?"

and when you look at manga/comics/even old cartoons, they don't draw in every single brick!!! not always!!!! PLEASE don't make yourself sit there and draw every single brick. draw an INDICATION of a FEW bricks, because here's the thing: the human brain fucking loves filling in what it wants to see. when's the last time you went apeshit about an optical illusion, if you like optical illusions? when's the last time you HEARD/SAW someone going apeshit over an optical illusion, if you don't like them? i rest my case.

*pounding fists on table* we!! love!!! shortcuts!!!!

but. a brick wall is BORING we don't want JUST a brick wall, fuck that. maybe this place is a bit overgrown? maybe it's a lil worn down or abandoned or gets less foot traffic and that's why there's a fence. so let's spice it up with some bushes, and make it look more fitting.

by the way, cracks are only something i've started to figure out recently. i'm in my late 20s. don't worry, you'll get there.

see the grass? again, indications. all i or you need to do as the artist is draw a few hints for what we want the brain to see, and the brain goes, "oh okay, there's grass there, and that's bricks. awesome. got it." we are not just artists, we are masters of illusion.

so. this is what we have so far.

and now... this. the background. this is where things get more... esoteric, in my head, maybe? we'll see.

artists talk about "flow" sometimes. a variety of professions do, actually. i'm a visual thinker, and with my particular brand of autism, my "flow" is like i'm wile e. coyote falling down a painted black circle that's actually an endless pit but also he's on acid, and i'm not actually paying all that much attention to what's going onto the paper? i'm more "in my head" than anything, and not in a bad way. even my own brain can break me out of it though :')

but yes, i know there's something wrong with me.

SO, where did my brain pull THESE things from, and what can we learn from them?

the two buildings in the background, slightly curved:

old cartoons (again!). tom & jerry is the one i can think of. looney toons. anywhere animators went, "wait! real physics doesn't matter, here! let's fuck around with THAT," and got really excited about it (i notice it most in the old stuff). keep an eye out for scenes with lots of buildings to catch this.

no windows on those buildings!

the video, How to use Foreground, Midground, and Background to Clarify Depth - Ian Roberts, is where i pulled what i was Possibly attempting from. i might've also just been Tired and saw an opportunity to test it, whether or not it was the best one. (i do this a lot ^^; )

building directly underneath/road:

shop of some sort. i started to draw fabric over the top as well, so possibly it was going to be a ramen shop? but also it's ambiguous because we're masters of illusion, remember? now if you're not sure, it's only because i told you! ha! (aaaand, this goes for your art too, dear reader! no one will know of your mistakes unless you... make a.... tutorial... post. shit. /lighthearted)

the roof towards the wall:

i both started the blue period anime and a la autism absorbed that into my personality but i also used to have dreams when i was very tiny about flying over japan and so it just kinda. happened? i. do not know what to tell you here besides use refs. and research i don't even know what period that roof would be from or if it's Accurate it's. i just went with what felt. right but also what i had the energy to draw, ehegh.... since i don't have much more than that i will add more things at the end about perspective.

the staircase:

night in the woods! my brain rembered the staircase from a scene in night in the woods and. staircases exist.

(i just read from "the unabridged journals of sylvia plath" something about [paraphrasing, here] how "it's funny. there's all this wonder and beauty in the world and it all just comes down to staircases.")

further notes just in general: do research about where you're drawing! don't just look with an artist's eye but with an analytical eye or a storyteller's eye. both relax and enjoy it and watch it passively but ALSO ask yourself questions about it sometimes. go see if you can find videos of the place! sometimes people just record their walks?? like in different countries????? one of my favorites is Nomadic Ambience

perspective? is a load of bullllllllSHIT. sometimes, you draw curved buildings because it's Fun and Dynamic and adds to the mood or just because it looks good. sometimes you draw a horizon line because it helps, sometimes you NEVER DO because it fucks you up more than you care to admit.

sometimes you learn the rules, and then break them, and sometimes you stick to them, and sometimes you have never learned them in rhe first place and all that matters is, does your art make you happy? at the very least, does it make you feel what you want to feel?

if not, don't worry. my first try on my "casual conversation" work? wooooohhh hoooo hoooooo wee it was NOT what i wanted to get down paper. tablet. screen, whatever. i HAD to go and find a ref and do something different and you know? i'm still not happy with it. i don't think i'll ever be at a point where i'll be able to get down exactly what i have pictured in my head. i think i'll be always lagging behind at least a little bit, BUT. i can try to close that gap, too.

instead of looking at the incredible artists on here and wishing i was one of them? i am! i'm here, posting with you all! and for now, i can be happy with that.

also BLENDER. if it's not too intimidating, i use it for general shading references for solid objects like tables purely out of spite because when i first tried to learn it my developmental eternally youthful disorder (autism) brain was. literally not developed enough for it, i think. i frustrated myself to the point of tears more than once with it YEARS ago but now 😎😎😎👉 i can make some things. which is WAY more than zero so small victories 😂

tl;dr think critically/analytically, look for shortcuts, if it sucks hit da bricks, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and fucking draw what you want to draw and what makes YOU happy

When I first asked my grandma if I could write and publish about her, she gave me an instruction that has stuck with me over the years and I try to always keep it in mind when I write about family. She said, roughly translated from Korean: “you can write what you want, but let us live a little more beautifully the second time.” I took this as permission with a condition that I would fictionalize where necessary, to protect them and myself. The women I write about are both us and not us. Maintaining that fictionalized barrier is important to me.

Jason: (stubs toe) AH GAH F*CK THIS TABLE

Dick: Jay Language! You should be ashamed!

Jason: You. You taught me these words man.

Dick: (now sweating a little bit) Such foul language and now lies? You lie on the name of your older brother? I don’t know what I did wrong! Timber have you ever ever heard me curse?

Tim: …no?

Dick: exactly! You wound me Jacey!

Jason: you literally would party all the time and you once told this very table the exact same thing I just said!

Tim: … okay the joke was funny before but now you’re taking it a bit too far Jason.

Jason: WHAT? ME!?

Later he found a Polaroid of a younger Dick Grayson clothes in disarray, holding a bottle of tequila and dancing amongst several other people. Said photo has a note on the back that read “hope to see you again soon” next to a deep red kiss mark.

Jason: SEE I WASN’T LYING LOOK!

Tim: …This is really good photoshop! I thought you didn’t want to learn! But seriously can you drop this? You’re asking me to believe that the guy who calls me timbits did drugs. Its not gonna work.

Dick: (mouthing behind Tim) no one will ever believe you >:)

JL: Nightwing! It’s a delight to see you! You should come by more often.

Nightwing: Thank you! I’m so sorry, work has been piling up on me but I’ll try to drop by the office party this Sunday.

JL: Ofcourse! Looking forward to seeing you there. By the way, is Batman coming late?

Nightwing: No, I’ll be filling in for him today.

JL: Did something happen?

Nightwing: Nothing much, he’s just grounded.

JL: ???

48 hours earlier

Dick: Bruce, I’m telling you now and we’ve had this conversation before but you need to build a better rapport with your children. They look up to you as a father figure and your actions influence their behavior.

Bruce: …hmrgh

Dick: And you might not be aware but you unconconscious behavior is damaging. Tim has picked up your terrible habit of constantly working in front of a screen-it’s going to strain his eyes. He’s always inside too, so you need to make him go outside more. I’m not always here, I have an entire city to run, the titans need me, I'm mentoring hundreds of heroes, the Justice League calls on me to help them, and I need to keep up with my social life. The people in Bludhaven where I teach and work also call me if I’m gone for a day-the point is-I can’t always be playing second parent here in Gotham.

Bruce: ……hmrgh

Dick: Damian always looks up to you

Bruce: *side eyes*

Dick: He does! See you don’t even realize it! He wants to make you proud and Jason gets mad when you don’t make time for him because he cares too. Stephanie doesn’t have a dad she can turn to and it would mean the world to her if you took her out to an amusement park or something. When was the last time you spent time with her.

Bruce: ….hmrgh

Dick: And-

1 hour later

Dick: -that’s why you need to stop working, go to them right now, and bond with them.

Bruce:

Dick:

Bruce: ……...hmrgh

Dick: I’m waiting.

Bruce: *dragging himself off the batcave chair and begrudgingly trudging upstairs under Dick’s watchful eye*

Bruce: *listening to the sounds of his kids in the living room and pumping himself up* Better relationships mean better teamwork. Better relationships mean better teamwork. Better relationships mean better teamwork. And Dick. Do it for him.

Bruce: *entering* *clearing his throat* Children. We will be going-

*The living room is in utter chaos. The cushions are strewn and ripped with stuffing coating the couches and floor which for some reason is stained yellow, the flower vase is shattered and so is the table it was sitting on, there’s string confetti on the chandelier, there’s spray paint and neon goo across the walls and in Tim’s hair, Jason has deep claw marks down his face as he wrestles with Damian who’s sporting massive bruise on his cheek and trying his hardest to bite him, Stephanie is dunking Tim’s face in a tub of soda which splashed everywhere while he’s ripping out Jason’s hair and also trying to kick Damian with his foot, the tv has massive spiderwebs and looping on tellatubies like a broken record machine, Titus is spitting out a feather while a random goose runs around honking while Alfred the cat chases after it at full speed, knocking down decades old paintings.*

Bruce:

Bruce:

Bruce: *rolling up his sleeves and stomping forward to join the fight* HMRGH.
