#oh to be able to understand shadows and simpler ways to color in grayscale

[lumpsbumpsandwhumps]

Every day I consider a little more quitting my job and dedicating like a full month to just learning basic art techniques

#but I just need to pay off ooooone last credit card and then buy a new computer rig #and then honestly????? #i may quit to just do freelance work #just enough funds to pay for my college courses next year #but then with freelance work comes the ability of free TIME to sit and study other peoples art styles and watch tutorials #oh to be able to understand shadows and simpler ways to color in grayscale #to be able to do more engaging expressions #to draw **backgrounds** #baby steps tho friends baby steps........ #i will say i compare my whump art here to the old art on my g/t blog when i had just started digital art and goddamn #my style used to be ROUGH because i was practicing like 78 different things at once #so nothing ever looked good or consistent............... #i think my style is getting a bit more defined now but it's still pretty stiff and plain #oh well practice makes perfect
