#im trying new things in my artstyle wish me good luck

[beartitled]

Hello bear! Uhm i am very sure that you do not remember me but i'm the anon who asked if you were on a caffeine high to get extremely pretty detailed drawings.

I read your explanation! Your motivation! Your thoughts on it! Your way of doing it! And i took it to heart. I really did. And you helped me, a lot. You have wonderful advice.

I was struggling to find a good artstyle and was questioning my abilities as a artist a lot so when i cam upon your blog that your artworks i was memorized, admiring, loving your art.

When i first saw your art i thought it was just cute and simple and not much about it, just another cute artstyle that is extremely pleasing to look at so i got curious so i dug into your blog more and more and more until i seen that every single one of your drawings had small details, small details that give the drawing.. more.. more to it.

Every drawing that i have seen from you so far is cute happy, funny and warm. Every single of your drawings is meant to bring a smile on peoples faces, you make your drawings for the world to see and they smile at them. I have not interacted with you that much but you are what you draw, you're funny, happy and you make someone feel comfortable and warm. I looked a lot at your drawings and it gave me motivation to continue art, to try new things and even if no one else notices the details i put in thats okay because i see it, i see the details and im happy with it. I look up to you bear, you are a very cool polar bear that i have ever known. Stay cool!

Bear no you promised *sob* not to cry *sob* when reading your asks *more sobbing*

Learn how to *le sob* accept kindness *turns into a sobbing puddle*

I do remember you 🫵❤️

I’m so glad that my art rumble was helpful, it warms my heart man ❤️💕💓

This whole message just legitimately makes me smile so hard

Seeing people getting joy from my art is such a delightful feeling

Getting messages like this just feels unreal, because you can’t really fantom the fact that you can inspire

I just 💥 drew a silly bear 💥💥 and people appreciate it 💥💥💥 aaaa?¿?💥💥💥💥

I’m incredibly delighted that my art makes you feel that way, it’s a very charming point of view

And mega happy that you also see the beauty in putting small stuff that nobody notices

You know, when people don’t notice those details, you’re just glad you put it there, but when someone finally notices them, it’s even more rewarding (it’s a win win situation ✨:D)

I wish you best of luck on your journey, stay awesome too 🫵❤️

(*gives you a little motivation cookie*🍪 that’s for later >:D)

(hey i don't want to take up your time but when you find the time to answer this it would be swell! im thinking of starting some kind of askblog, probbaly much later when im less busy, but i wanted to ask how do you manage drawing so much, and how do you simplify your art to do so? I love drawing but i cant imagine doing it as much as you are. thanks!)

i’d love to help more! feel free to send more messages on this :D

ok so on the topic of drawing as much as me: don’t.

long answer: i use askblogs/fandom as a hyperinflation w/ my adhd and have used it to cope with abuse, it’s just a comfort for me to draw and tell stories. i’ve been doing this for 4 years and have gotten pretty fast and good at it. i do not recommend or expect other people to update like i do.

that said!!! if you want to draw faster, that’s always a good thing! my artstyle is cartoony, loose and fast on purpose. simplier the better. i’ve studied animation in high-school and i’ve taught myself to be quick, you can do this too! practice on simple art styles, time yourself. sketch and don’t care about how good it is, just get it out there! you will find yourself drawing faster!

also draw with your whole arm, it’s easier on your wrist and you can make broader and longer strokes. draw towards you, for better control.

as for how i do askblog arts:

i make a folder for each new post!

sketch layer -> then draw lineart above it in a vector layer. (so i can make easy changes w/out sacrificing line art quality. tho this is optional obvs) -> set line art layer to REFERENCE (the little tower button) and then start coloring in a new layer below w/ a bucket tool.

try to give characters a very limited pallet, reusing colors as much as u can.

i use a new window called Subview and it has the option that when you hover over it, your mouse becomes a eyedropper. its super handy for a quick reference and for grabbing colors.

after that i add 2 layers set to color (either 15%, 25% or 35% on these kind of layers) and 2 overlays. i mess with the colors until i get what color scheme i like. (i like to add 2 similar colors like purple or blue, and then one orange/or pink to offset it)

uhm. thats all i can think of for now! i hope that helps. please just do askblogs for fun, i know this kinda stuff gets stressful and can get to your head. online communities demand so much from artists, i honestly wouldn’t recommend making webcomics if not for the practice it gives you and the friends you can make. its all in how you handle it, and i wish you the best of luck!
