#so ive been improving actually

[foxtriestobiteandmaimandkilland]

omg i just noticed that. i have 21 hours in hollow knight. this is DEFINITELY exposing me at Bad At The Game Like Holy Shit I Am So Bad BUT. its ok. bc a lot of those 21 hours were spent being new to any sort of challenging game bc the hardest thing ive done is probably play minecraft like im Not A Gamer SO IM PROUD OF MY 21 HOURS. anyways i got my shade gonna go to peaks now ^-^

#day thoughts #hollow knight #yknow it is funny tho how when i started out w the game before i killed hornet id watched like. 0 hollow knight videos #so that i could avoid spoilers #and after id accepted it was a rlly cool game and i just wanted to see someone do it well bc im not good at this shit #i binged loads of videos #and now i know How to do things #so ive been improving actually #instead of being stuck in crossroads or greenpath

redraw of a galo from last year!!! :3

side-by-side comparison :-)

#i thought this didnt take too long and apperantly it took like 7 hours. i thought it was like 3 or 4. #my sense of time is. a bit skewed n fucked up. #promare #galo thymos #my fav rooster ever #my art #i kinda rlly love how this one turned out :D i think ive improved a lot too DJAHGSHG i love doing redraws sm #like the pose is way closer to what i was imagining and mmm yeah its also just more dynamic n his body doesnt cut off awkwardly #i like the colors and face better #i do think the og has a lot of charm. i dont hate it or anything. i just like seeing how far ive come :) #this time around i also had a way easier time identifying what was bugging me while i was working on it and actually addressing those thing #like i resized his head a lot n tilted his whole upper body etc #idk ive just been getting more comfortable and confident with my art :))) #ok enough. ENOUGHHHHH. anyways i love galo so much ok thats all

Who knew the first humanoid I would ever draw decently would actually be the character I've been obsessed with for the last 3 months

ANYWAY I FINALLY MANAGED TO DRAW A PERSON IM SO HAPPY!!

#ive spent the last 2+ years just saying to myself “i need to learn to draw people” and NEVER doing it because i didnt have the motivation to #then hazbin hotel pretty much turned into my sprcial interest and ive since felt more inspired to develop my art skills than ever before #like i may love this show to an actually unhealthy level but it has done so much for my neverending art block #before hazbin i had to physically force myself to draw something cuz i just couldnt think of anything #and because of that it was usually something i was comfortable with draeing #so instead of branching out to drawing different crestures i sorta just got stuck in a limbo of drawing 1 or 2 crestures #AND LOOK AT ME NOW! #i can draw deer (ofcourse) ive been figuring out how to draw cats #horses goats dragons birds snakes #ive improved so much #hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin #alastor hazbin hotel #radio demon #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor fanart #next on the agenda #hands #bleh

LAST BUNCH OF BEHEADED DOODLES UNTIL I WAKE UP LATER.. i was rlly nervous about starting to upload art online, but having a reason to draw is really helping me and i want to thank you guys for even liking my art :^)

Whole lot of rambling in the tags lol

#dead cells #dead cells fanart #dead cells bobby #dead cells beheaded #im getting more confident in my ability to draw and i want to thank you guys for it #my art hasnt felt good enough recently and ive really improved by getting myself to draw and get my stuff out there #i think its because i see people my age who are drawing way better than me and it makes me feel like i havent dedicated enough time #and practice to my art #so thank you guys a lot for interacting with my posts and stuff #its been a really pleasant surprise getting so many likes and stuff on my art #artists like saltyfinalboss (go check them out :^) have been a huge inspiration to me since i even started on tumblr #thats actually the artist that made me want to play dead cells #i saw their art and was like #woah! that game looks cool!

[klonoadoortophantomile]

Before and after pictures of my biohazard bathroom. So y'all can see this particular Horror I've been dealing with lately.

#life of sponty #mold #mould #unsanitary #unhygienic #but yeah it's been hell #only thing left to do now is replace the moldy broken sealant on the bath and sink #which for the record has such nasty gunk in it that I've not been able to take baths in months #because the last two times i tried i got bacterial infections #needed antibiotics and everything #and given i adore baths and they're one of my major self care / mood improvement things #has not helped anything #also i have had a chronic cough from the mold for months now #just really not ideal #but i had a burst of actual executive function that allowed me to finally wrestle the landlords about it #so that's what ive been dealing with last couple weeks

[britneyshakespeare]

My toxic trait is that I like how my incomplete drawings look better than the finished things

#im sorry i cant be her (my searching lines) #i cant stop thinking about this drawing i have a sinking feeling that im gonna be very unhappy when its done #or. not unhappy. but not as excited as i feel about it now! #i only worked in two short chunks on it but both were pretty productive #i have a feeling that when i take the time to really dedicate myself to it im gonna fuck something up #like i can see areas i need to/can improve already but the glaring flaws are ok! bc it's not finished! #it OVERALL looks cool and LOOKS like it has the potential to turn out well #but will it... WILL IT??? WILL IT EVER? #i have never been so totally completely satisfied w any finished drawing ive dedicated myself to fully. #tales from diana #this is also only the second time ive done a really deliberate self-portrait that wasnt in some for or another. practice #like of course ive drawn my face before. not that often actually. but since yes i do draw. i have drawn myself #i probably should've drawn myself more times for how often i think id like a nice picture of myself #but then again its not gonna be so 'nice' if i make it and am not totally happy w it? #see one of the ppl who inspired me to learn to draw is ned @sneez my dearest. he's spoiled me before #and drawn me very beautifully on several occasions and it's very much a thing to move one's heart #to see someone dedicate their talent to depicting YOU. #and i might say HE has made me look more beautiful in art than i think i'll ever look in the flesh #which is not to say he drew me inaccurately. but he's so talented that his art is more beautiful than life. #and i dont compare myself in skill to him bc he's been doing it for YEARS and way more trained than me in the visual arts. #like it simply wouldn't be fair so i only compare myself to myself. naturally #but i used to think. very VAINLY i might say. that if i could draw like him id draw beautiful pictures of myself all the time #well ce n'est pas ca mon ami. since learning to draw i've found im much more interested in drawing ppl i find beautiful #rather than myself. im not art. not through my own eyes at least. #i should really draw ned sometime. i really should. #actually somewhat embarrasingly i tried to draw him like 5 or 6 years ago. and i NEVER tried to draw then #i did show him tho and he thought it was very impressive but that's probably just bc he loves me. xoxox #maybe ill post that someday as a throwback just for the hell of it. lol. thatd be cute

[image description: an animated gif of an original character named count scarlette. scarlette is a tall, fat vampire with messy black hair pulled into a ponytail and a mustache, goatee, and stubble. she is wearing a button up shirt with the top buttons undone, a corset, a short black skirt, thigh high boots, and a black cape that is attached to her wrists and are is shaped like bat wings. the animation has her excitedly turning back and forth and making her cape flutter. she then takes a bow, and then the animation loops. end id]

woosh, woosh

#I FINISHED IT. FINALLY #i feel like theres a bit i could still improve here but ive been working on this for like. a month now so im not too worried about it #im still proud of it in spite of its flaws :o]c #this is makin me wanna give her wings actually. or a longer cape #she needs to become more of a dracula #does that make sense #doc talks #my art #my characters #doc's animations

I’m literally obsessed with how you draw Ted and Trent they’re sooooo ✨ can I ask how you learned to draw anatomy bc I’m in love with how you do it

THANK YOU!!! also ive never taken any classes/lessons for art so most of what i draw is just a whole bunch of "fuck it we ball" and VERY heavily referencing images ive collected by roaming pinterest (cringe) and whatever..

^like that for example

its mostly a trial and error and some drawings never even survive the hard sketch part but it honestly just boils down to drawing the same guy over and over and over for like. 50-70+ drawings now HELP?

#id say ''like ted lasso. training makes perfect'' but honestly ive just been down bad for him for months now and its still going strong :-/ #i wish i could explain this better BUT MAN. I DONT KNOW HOW IM DOING THIS EITHER </3 LMAOOOO #pn.ask #all i can really say is the best way to get better at a thing is to go completely insane over it #i like ted lasso. i like drawing him. i want to draw him better. i end up drawing him over and over and over and slowly improve thru that #CHRIST I HAVE.... HOW MANY TED LASSO DRAWINGS NOW..???? HELLO? #id show a better example with drawings that isnt actually just a redraw of a screenshot but i delete my refs from my canvas the second i #finish the lineart so like :"-] #edit: im going to reach a hundred lasso drawings if its the last thing i damn do

sorry this is once again my monthly 'i'm in love with people and our capacity for compassion even in the face of deep deep cruelty, even though i've seen worse and worse things, come to terms with so much, it's my love of humanity that has let me avoid rotting, encouraged me to grow and chase my own place in helping everyone around me" post

#im really excited for the job im starting. still about a month or so out but heading towards a career change sort of that im really excited #for. im just... i actually used to be very cynical and i struggled to see the point through all the terrible things in the world #but for many reasons #even as i discovered worse and worse things #ive developed... resiliency i never thought id have #born out of this appreciation for those and the world around me #and i wish i could share it. i see so many people in my old shoes #im still growing. so much to do #but im at a level of contentment.. idk. i couldntve dreamed of #and it took effort #it is not /easy/ to face things and believe in good regardless #but. its rewarding. i wish it for all of you #on a similar but different note ive been reaching a point of being more myself in social situations rather than just a chameleon #and ive been lucky enough to have the people around me the past two years or so be very supportive in a way that has truly let me grow and #become a better version of myself #and its sort of been this positive feedback loop. because the more confident and passionate you are the more people are delighted by your #eccentricies #i used to be so beat down #i still struggle so much #but. im at a place i never thought id be #no doubt there will be struggles in the future #hell its not like things are perfect now #still so much. major things to improve on #but idk. i am happy #and its a very full sense of happiness. #full and aware and strong #thats what i wish for all of you :)

[transgenderturnip]

you know after tossing and turning and trying to remember the events of my life and realizing my brain is goo due to trauma and head trauma and over prescribed medicine from the ripe age of like twelve I think maybe looking at my phone isn't the problem because instead of mindlessly scrolling 196 memes and eventually falling asleep I'm sweating and delusional and upset and it's been an hour and a half anyway. wtf. therapy does nothing (disclaimer, joke)

#well not really #but it helps other people so #you know i think five year old me had it right #im just going to be like this #man ive just been a fucking problem and burden with no place my entire existence #it really doesn't matter what i do #i mean if i do anything to try to do things right #or take care of myself #or reconcile things I've done wrong #it's always wrong #it's always the wrong thing #im never perceiving the actual problem i pose #I'm not improving #i feel like a fucking demon #why was i born #anyway whatever #vent #I'm going to have such a shit day at work #ughhh i just wanted to get to bed at a decent time #nope #brain said yeah I'm gonna make this feeling one million times worse with each passing minute actually #what the fuck do i even do
