#once i get a pencil

[ovenmade]

My family actually got me an iPad this Christmas, so I'm happy to say that I now have a proper device to play Cookie Run: Kingdom on if anyone wants to add me since I can actually enjoy and experience it properly!

ACNH AU but it’s just Chil as Tom Nook giving out lax loans to people in need with his half-foot guild, and his close friend Isabelle Marcille helping out and hanging around. Been playing ACNH and came to the realization that Tom Nook & Isabelle give Chil & Marcille energy, and immediately had to draw it…

Man wanted to retire early but still hasn’t stopped. What I want for post-canon Chilchuck is just for him to have Tom Nook energy fr fr

#Dungeon meshi #acnh au #chilchuck tims #marcille donato #meijack #Flertom #Puckpatti #Chilchuck’s family #Marchil #To me they’re the Everything Everywhere All at Once thing where doing taxes together is the most romantic thing #At first I wasn’t gonna put Marcille in a pencil skirt but. She’s rocking it #Also was gonna give Mei tims shoes but forgot. She still got her knee-high shoes swag tho #The thing is Marcille DOES have dog energy it’s just that unlike Laios she’s like… A pomeranian or smth #Chil got divorced bc there were never non work-related vacations. Get that island cash my guy #I had fun putting details on the board #Saw a localization of Laios as Laois the other day and I have taken psychic damage #Listen I’m sure canon Chil has a very neat handwriting. Sorry for the character assassination #But also??? Illiterate rates have gotta be high for the Dungeon Meshi world right. I ponder it a lot #I am sorry that I accidentally made Chil look like Christopher Robin in that last one… I apologize

I’ve been scrolling through some of the Linked Universe tags the past few days and every so often I’ve come across your art, mostly of Warriors and Time and I just wanted to say I absolutely love it! Your art style is really cool and I love the way you colour the pieces you draw, it’s very nice! I hope you’re having an excellent day!

Thank you so much!! I’ve had so much fun drawing Warrior and Time shenanigans and it’s really helped push my art wrt character interactions

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! 🥰🥰🥰

.

Time: So, what’s going on here?

Warriors: Not sure, but it definitely seems like something you should deal with.

If anyone hasn’t seen the SBS where Oda answered what jobs the straw hats would be if they weren’t pirates or in the real world, and you’ve somehow come across this post, lemme just say that FROBIN IS REAL, ZOLU IS REAL!! I mean, look at the parallels! It’s so cute

#one piece #zolu #frobin #one piece manga #im getting too used to calling him Odacchi because of the SBS #once I find my damn Apple Pencil I’ll draw this #im going insane #also Nami and chopper but that’s illegal so let me ignore it #but it’s cute in a different way

after two years i finally draw the favorite

#my art #still learning honestly. idk how to explain it but some medias youre so fixated on and obsessed with u instantly want to draw everyone #for me dunmeshi has always been the opposite. series and characters i enjoy sm i cannot bring myself to pick up a pencil #for some reason. it got a lot worse once the anime started airing idk. simply forcing myself to get some of my energy out. in a way #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #thistle #dunmeshi thistle #thistle dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #>_< series i was into since late 2021. yet u wouldnt know that unless u follow my side twitter account. sowwy ig #i do this with a lot of franchises honestly. cannot bring myself to draw even if i think abt the characters constantly. ie skip to loafer #u will nvr catch me calling this guy sissel sorry. save that name for Mr. Ghost Trick. another thing i. also. dnt talk abt. which i adore #i need to get better at talking abt and expressing myself for the things that i enjoy. ive been wanting to draw laios for a good #while too but im scared. for some reason. u-u should nvr let a white man do that to me honestly. #for now i'll thistle tho. maybe we will get kabru namari or mithrun next from me >_< i have to talk myself into it #i think the closest way i can explain why i cannot bring myself to draw for some series is that i dnt want to mess up somehow #like 'ilu so much [character] what if i cnt draw u the way u deserve even tho i love u sm what if its not enough.' <- leaves it to sm1 else #tbh [scratches head] i prefer the version with less coloring ^-^ but i realize the one thats more colored would get more eyes on it... hm

for drawing suggestions, can you draw L with a pigeon or near doing a peace sign w/ Matt playing video games beside him?

i have no idea what a pigeon looks like

#death note #l lawliet #trad art #i have created a System to getting better lines bc i have to use a stupid pencil atm til i get my groove back w trad art #so what i do is draw w pencil and erase n shit til i get a nice picture then i go ham w a dark sharpie then i cut it out glue it to a nice #clean new piece of paper then i open ms word get rid of the ribbon so i have a nice white page then i use it as a lightbox since my darling #beautiful tablet is down for the count i must resort to new ways to make a light box but i am being extra extra careful i prommy i love #my laptop too much to let any markers get on her screen that's why i glued the papers to each other so there would be no unfortunate #sliding so my system is safe for my lovely darling beautiful wonderful light of my life vendetta (<-laptop's name) #that explanation of my system means nothing to any of u but i'm proud of myself for using my brain for once so i'm putting it out there tha #i am not completely useless in situations where no reasonable device could be used as a lightbox

Hey guys guess what :D

#I never had an ipad or any Apple product before #My apple pencil isn't here yet and I'm trying to figure out how to get procreate here #At least I'll be able to draw on the go now once I figure this stuff out :] #Very happy bean #Sasha talks

#I’ve become obsessed with clone high once again #ace attorney #I haven’t ever posted my art before so please be kind! #ace attoreny fanart #I originally wanted to draw gumshoe in Larry’s spot #but gumshoe was harder to draw because I did not wanna draw a tie again #Phoenix wright #Larry Butz #Maya get #miles Edgeworth #way way back in the early 2000s #might post an inked version #but pencil right now because I wanted to get it out #Larry and Gandhi would be such good friends swear #I didn’t know which photo would be better #so I chose both! #I wish I could do digital but I don’t think I have the right equipment? #Raina’s doodles #Fanart

Let's say, hypothetically, there was a demon behind you-

(Cryptid Sightings by @naffeclipse )

#*puts off daily prompts for this* #you don't know how long I was itching to draw this #naff naff naff i am obsessed #POV: you are a ghost who has truly fucked up #living up to the 'pencil' part of my name once again #pencil tool my beloved #actually thought of doing this for the Haunted prompt but I couldn't wait #my ârt #fnaf #fnaf daycare attendant #cryptid sightings #y/n #cryptid!sun #cryptid!moon #I like portraying the demon form as Eclipse ok I'm not immune to Eclipse #not in the mood for details so here you get ✨vague and spooky✨ #gonna keep drawing stuff for 2-4 hours byeee #cryptid au

Dream heard it’s polite to check in on one’s...friends. He couldn’t have come at a better time.

#i am once again so sorry to everyone who made sandman #you gave me everything i couldve asked for and i still wanted more #gave me a full course meal and here i am still getting maccas on my way home #anyway #yes hob is losing his mind over this #i like to think this is the first time hes seen dream in the dreaming so #bit different to the waking world #drawing his hair digitally was so difficult #i did the drawing traditionally and then scanned it and redrew it digitally #and i wanted to capture comic morpheus hair bc its so wild i love it #and it was SO much easier to do with an actual pencil than with a digital brush #but yeah a lil dream pulling hob from a nightmare #for your enjoyment #dreamling #hob x dream #sandman #the sandman #the sandman netflix #Hob Gadling #dream of the endless #morpheus #my art

Just for fun, here's the inks for Page 1-16! I honestly think I like it like this more than the colored version lmao

#shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #the pencils and inks took the longest to do and were a nightmare to work on but I'm happy with the end result #pencils-only and ink-only versions of Infested pages will be available for tier 2 subscribers on ko-fi once i get that set up

I’m not a huge makeup person I just like to use it to attempt to not look like a zombie but the one thing I do every single day is my eyebrows and my eyebrow pencil ran out 😭😭😭😭😭

#it’s the one thing I’ve always been self conscious about #my mom never taught me anything about makeup or eyebrows #she made me get them waxed once and traumatized me #so they have always been bad looking and I feel like finally in my late 30s I have gotten them to look somewhat decent #so not having my pencil is putting me in a spiral #one is coming today in the mail #😭😭😭😭😭😭 #first world problems

[mister13eyond]

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result #and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master #but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper- #are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like #i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh #as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible #sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness #so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun #but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps #doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you #not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog #but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog #if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck #but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation- #the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines- #then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST #and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them #because now you have the drive to want to do more #now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing #long post #even longer tags #art #drawing #artists #art advice
