He had a long day at school

#and was kinda beaten #don't wake him up sh #tallest red #my art #invader zim #almighty tallest #elite red #sometimes when I have holidays I think when I come home from university early I have time to draw #and I wonder why I don’t #and then uni resumes and im like #ah. right #all I want is to sleep #besides this is my last semester and i am terrified of the future

Hmmm redrew that Saul drawing I did back in november....

#fanart #art #better call saul #bcs #breaking bad #brba #saul goodman #jimmy mcgill #not sure if i can say i improved because i was pretty rusty back then (didn't draw for 9 months) #but it does look better #i really want to get better at drawing but i don't have time and when i do i can't draw. #spending most of my time rotting in bed and doing nothing and it's so annoying #explodes all over you #had to repost this twice on instagram because it wouldn't work and it was so embarrassing ♡ #and i lost all the reach i had which is close to none to begin with #sometimes i wonder why i even bother posting art

Desperate Attempts

#sketchbook #pencil #drawing #my art #all i got here & now is a shitty moleskine sketchbook a mech. pencil rapidly running out of graphite and increasing hand pain #but sometimes what you have to do is you have to render some bullshit #and wonder why you do not own fixative because i do wanna preserve that one pencil drawing from yesterday

Wait if I'm Tim and your Tim then who's driving the batmobile????

If there is two Tim's in this bat mobile then it deserves to fall off a cliff

#ask #anon #I wonder why people keep asking me if I hate Tim 🤔 #It's a god damn mystery #Love that little guy #... But two Tim's #Yeah they're gonna kill each other #If Tim met Tim #He'd hate himself #(I'm saying this like Tim hasn't met himself in Canon and hated himself lol) #(sometimes I'm tired and just say stuff) #(I've been drawing Jon all day for some reason) #(like adult Jon) #(not even kid Jon) #(why do I hate myself)

some fun experimenting and thinking about not noticing red flags

#kirehn draws #redacted asmr #redacted darlin #redacted quinn #rasmr #redactedverse #huh wonder why it's transparent until you enlarge it #don't like that #was going to do like #four images for a proper strip #got the basic sketches for all of them done #finished coloring the seond one and was like NOPE we're done #and tried to see iff I could get it to look like torn photos with the kind of crumpled glossiness? idk #I think it worked well enough #not perfect but well enough #was looking at timeline and it's pretty likely that darlin was out of town when gabe died and david took over #which is something I'm going to be thinking about next :3c #I should draw sam #I promise I'm still in love with sam #but sam is comfy and sometimes I like angsty instead :3 #imagining darlin hiding some residual care for Quinn with all the anger so that they don't have to address it #anyway mmmmm I should write some things #pk:adrian

little peek at somethjing i am cooking up ...

#this is rlly rough but rn im just blocking everything out #i have like 6.5 pages sketched so far this is already going faster than last time i think..^_^ #im having a blast also #im tryna rewire my brain . every time i think Blehhh i hate drawing i just want to see it done i gotta stop n correct myself #like Hey wait you actually love drawing why are you telling yourself this The process is frustrating sometimes but that comes with art #i had to redraw this one page like 4 separate times and i still didn't feel like giving up #like yeah i was feeling pressed but at the same time i was being patient with myself #like this is part of improving Stop laying on the floor and wondering why you're even doin this you've always loved it #only drawing when u know it's gonna turn out good defeats the whole purpose of learning #also i added cal last minute to this comic and im gladi did he's so creeepy #im very excited to get this done Not impatient like i was before #im impatient for people to see it yeah lol but not w myself #and im not gonna be all like “yeah we'll see how long this lasts lol” bc i think that's already setting myself up for burning out #i have hope that i can keep enjoying art like this I just need to change the way i think #and accept the messy n ugly. the perfect is the enemy of the good #aaron blaise really inspires me. he sincerely loves what he does and i want to be like that #this is also gonna be more comic-like Panelwise i think #scott pilgrim n my bro inspired me #also the way cal's face cuts off on the right makes sense in context he's peekin from behind a chair

Studying faces of actors as an artist is interesting why am I going through every Malcolm Gets image I can find to try and figure out if he has a cleft chin

#he has schrodingers cleft chin #doesnt help that all pictures of him are three pixels #also i draw gordon with a cleft chin and richard/malcolm gets without #cause james mcmullan drew (malcolm) gordon with a cleft chin #and i wonder why. maybe he just felt like it. but also malcolm sometimes does have a cleft chin? its so weird #i cant even tell his eye color why is this man so mysterious #p sure he has heterochromia #central heterochromia. fixated on heterochromia/eye colors for a bit cause of him #im obviously normal about gordon schwinn (lie) #malcolm gets #i also love gordon having a cleft chin so hes just like me. i love giving comfort characters features i have #and its half canon! or a little canon! or not canon! or! no idea!

I NEEED to go back to making art that makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that theres something wrong with my brain BUT NOT in a cool or stylishly interesting way. i need to do it in a way that makes people say "hm." and walk away

#sowwy ive been kinda going through it in my fine arts major rn can u tell HJKSDHKFd #ive been feeling like. scared. and paralyzed by marketability and branding. #i cant stop thinking about how other people will see my art. but not like in a good way #when i was younger i thought about it in a good way. like hee hee hoo hoo the act of looking connected us hee hee #but rn i keep thinking about it in like this wretched like consumer product mindset? ouhhghhhhh el problema es el capitalismo #and like maybe this works for some people. to think like this. to make art like this. its what my professors push me towards #not intentionally. they dont say it out loud at least. im not sure if they know or not some of the irony #my professors are nice and pretty smart and talented and i like em. but sometimes i wonder like. the push for us as students to make like #marketable 'avant garde'? stuff thats safe but pretending to be weird and out there #i dont mean to sound pretentious. in general i play it too safe myself (spent too much time as an edgy 10 year old with my #parents freaking out over my shoulder because they think the fact that i drew an anime character frowning means something serious LOL) #but i dunno man. my least interesting art with the least amount of care thought or effort always gets so much more attention in school #nowhere else oddly. online? people like my more passionate but seemingly frivolous art (oc art etc. not frivolous to me but yknow how it is #same with irl artists and other industry people outside my school. whats going on in my school LOL #i know from experience i cant push myself into a supposedly marketable brand. if i try to make something sell it will not. #i dont know why. maybe theres an invisible essence buyers can tell when i didnt care jkfsldjdfrds #but my teachers LOOOOVE the stuff i put no passion in its so bizarre orz but i gotta relearn how to ignore half of their advice #i used to be better at it. but i also only used to ignore like a quarter of their advice. maybe i need to amp up how much im ignoring #that sounds mean. they have plenty of good advice. but also plenty of advice thats clouded by their own biases #and i gotta relearn how to sort out this stuff again. i forget every few months for some reason #you know i always think ouuhhhhh i act so neurotypical ouhhhhhhhhh im outgoing i talk to strangers all the time i seem confident #im so masked IM SO MASKED but then i go a couple weeks where every conversation i have has people looking at me like #i have two heads and neither of them are speaking their language. and then i descend into madness like this HJKLDSHJDS #i'll be fine i'll figure it out. i need to stop trying to get a good grade in being a 'cutting edge' conventional artist <3 #i need to just. draw my cartoon characters in peace 😔😔😔

Late night doodle….

#art #digital art #character design #if you guys were wondering why I don’t yap as much or get on tumblr as much anymore it’s because I only get on super late at night #I’m busy with school and my naps #mutual’s if I reblog your posts with no tags it’s not because I don’t have anything to say it’s because I’m too sleepy to type it out #I’m gonna get back into posting my Loki and Thor art #I don’t wanna post any because it’s just all incomprehensible Thor doodles #I’ll probably render a few and then add Loki there too #or just do a bunch of solo Loki drawings because I love drawing her #my favorite character is Thor!!! proceeds to never draw him #I’ll probably hunt down some of my mutuals ocs and draw them when I have time #I actually don’t have a lot of mutuals with like public ocs #they draw their favorite character #soooooo I’ll have to draw their design of that character #sighhh #it’s so late guys #(it’s like 9 pm) #I usually go to bed at 8 #though I’ve been staying up later for some reason??? #don’t know why but I don’t mind the extra time #still not waking up any earlier though #I should stop waking up 20 minutes before I have to go places… #my bed is so comfy!!! #sighhhhhhhh sometimes self care is doing the hard things #(is kicking and screaming clawing at my mattress) #((I have to go walk my dog)) #unemployed activities #I’m gonna get a job in summer because I am not working on TOP of school #I’m sorry my art commissions I do once every 2 months drain me enough

Finally redesigned my fursona after like 6 years of pretending I wasn't a furry. I'm tired of acting like I don't like to draw silly anthropomorphic animals, and now that I'm back on Tumblr, no one's gonna fucking stop me

#fursona #my art #art #digital art #sfw furry #furry anthro #furry oc #canine #I was doing some research #By research I mean drawing a friend's fursona #And I realized that so many of them are so complicated?? #Like why??? #Not a knock on complex furry designs but sometimes I just wonder why you'd want to put so much detail into one tiny guy #What if you want to make a comic about them? #Are you really going to draw all those teeny details??

After the monsters concept art, I’ll see if I can get started working on Page 4 for the comic. My goal is to get the first part of the Prologue finished before my birthday (June 1st), which would be Page 6.

This comic is gonna take like 20 years to make and that’s fine by me

I’m actually super happy with my progress in the Clip Studio Paint program. It’s been around a month since I switched to it from Autodesk Sketchbook, and the program really pushed my skills as an artist, especially after my hiatus from art for the past several months due to college burnout. And I’m happy to be able to reach a point with the art where I can look back at it and actually say “I like it. I don’t hate this at all. It doesn’t look off to me.”

Because dear goodness, I cannot stand most of my past art. Which is a good and bad thing.

Practicing all these concept arts were not only a way to get a feel of the program and what brushes/tools I like, but also to see where I currently stand as an artist. Heck, doing that Vlad and Danny comic helped a lot with the technical aspects since I honestly have very very little experience with panels, speech bubbles and fonts. Hopefully I’ll be able to practice more with those tools in the future.

Anyway, hoping to finish monster concept art today. That’s the main goal. :D

#danny phantom #rambles #just some stuff #comic #progress #in all honesty #I sometimes wonder if I would never make it as a digital artist when compared to the greats #but it’s all the more reason why I make sure to always improve when possible #even if I never become as good as others #as long as I can actually look back and see the progress and journey #that’s enough for me #I always want to make sure to keep that passion to draw #I will draw till the day I die

you ever watch some childhood show and go "oh. so that's why i'm like this"

#winx club #professor palladium #does this man have a first name???? #illustration #also yes that is his s1 fit i like the major dweeb energy #sorry this has to be SO outta left field for some people following me like 'what the FUCK is this doing on my dash' 😭 #sometimes you gotta #also if you're wondering why he's sitting Like That. #it's because the devil played a cruel trick on all of us when he let me learn how to draw. #he has captivated me with his dweeb ass fit and voice and also the fact he suddenly becomes a Man in s2 with no explanation #ALSO i drew a fucking background for this you better give me 2 reblogs AT LEAST /j

[chiisana-lion]

sometimes i think im fine and then i remember noelle’s room scene in deltarune chapter 2

#susie and noelle had a vice grip on me back then and still do i think i can recite the dialogue to this day #just oh. ohhhh Man #'did you ever wonder why susie never picked on you' 'all the time' 'MAYBE its 'cause when she first came to class. you lent her a pencil #like a stupid candy cane looking one. and she remembered your smile and uh.' do you understand? do you understand me #i miss drawing but cant draw lately so flipped through some old sketchbooks and i even drafted out a comic of the whole thing but never #got around to finishing it i should do that sometime #but GOD. god. susie and noelle. suselle the entire world

[akioukun]

I don’t care how many times Tumblr puts me in the naughty corner for my art: I can and will draw the human body in all its naked glory thank you.

#why cant we celebrate all the body shapes #and also draw them to further compliment our love of them #sometimes i wonder when were gonna get over the whole nudity thing

I remember an earlier version of who would eventually become Iota that I had around 2 years ago. Funnily enough, their story back then also involved being angry about something lol. But in this case she was angry about the fact that the Splatoon 1 plaza was more or less abandoned after Splatoon 2 came out, so she was kinda stuck in her Splatoon 1 ways and unable to accept the state of things now. Tbf this version of their character wasn’t an agent but was based off my Splatoon 1 avatar that Iota is also based off of, so they’re technically an older version of the same character.

This is the only drawing I found of this version of them, from summer of 2021 so 2 years ago. (Also check out that wasabi splattershot, nice). Btw! When I mentioned how Iota is technically a redesign, this is who they’re a redesign of!

Also yeah I might just randomly post character fun facts bc I think about them at 3:30am instead of sleeping now lol.

#ramblings #idk why I really just stuck with the idea of a character who opposed a certain part of society (either the passing of fads or technology) #also fun fact #Iota’s original name was ‘imaginary’ #I didn’t like it very much and it sounded dumb so I never considered it final #out of all my splatoon characters Iota has definitely been one of the ones with the most changes #most changes probably goes to my sona #thanks to how my relationship with the game irl has changed over the years #I’m no longer a casual player! I’m supposed to take this game seriously now or something #I think it’s also funny how similar my style feels to how it was 2 years ago? bc after an. incident I kinda stopped drawing for a few years #I’ve started up again recently so I kinda have to pick up the pieces from where I left off #I think im really improving which is nice #but sometimes I look at my old stuff and wonder how I did it
