Hiiii! I don’t know if your art reqs are open, but can you draw some non binary birds? Thanks and have a great day!!!!

Neither you or @iamchaos1234 specified exactly what kind of bird or parrot you wanted, so allow me a moment to indulge in some Australian bird propaganda. I hope you enjoy your critters!

Tamsin for @enverflymm :)

#I love Tamsin tbh #sometimes I just really want to draw other people their ocs #didn't really know what to do with the background so I picked some colours that were nice to work with and went from there #feels nice to finish something again #I had fun making this #tumblr is not really showing the image well it seems #it's bigger than tumblr is showing #so I guess if you want to see the detail open it in a new tab #not sure how to view it in the app as the right size though #I'm only on here on pc #baldur's gate #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #tav #tamsin #other people's ocs #my art #digital art #userterendelev

Hi! Um, any tips on how to color/shade?

-Because i am beyond terrible at it

m..me?? cooouring? i mean. i hate colouring so much that i flat-col the minimum for character recognition and call it done

if i absolutely HAvE to shade something . i'll use the :shrug: shortcut of starting with the base colour, then tweaking the Saturation/Lightness bars: -shadow: lower saturation and lightness -light: whatever saturation, higher lightness

if the character is somewhere with a distinct colour theme, i'll try to shift the base/shadows/lights to that colour.

likewise if there's a distinct coloured light source, i'll make the light on the char similar to that source

imagine me sitting on one section of the colour wheel. and walking toward the destination colour. just picking up colours in between. idk how legit it is, but i'm doing it

sometimes i'll be all srs and try detailed light/shadows but. it ends up makin my drawing too busy. a mess.

CORRECT: try to replicate that light source IRL or thru reference so u can figure out why it looks wrong, then correct your placements

INCORRECT, BECAUSE I'M LAZY: do a simple shape-based cel shade and let the audience's brain finish the job 😂

also i try not to use pure black or pure white for shading. i used to paint the night sky as 100% (zero lightness) black and the moon as 100% (ALL LIGHTNESS) white and my instructor wanted to fling me out a window. i could see it in their eyes. as they gently explained how IRL conditions are rarely 100% black or 100% white. maybe the night sky, depending on the conditions,, (if u actually colour drop a photo) is like 9% lightness with a tinge of blue. the moon is 96% lightness tinged orange. idk

#sometimes when i'm really tired of the way i colour #i go to those palette websites #find a palette i like #and just colour pick those. #regardless of what a realistic or fitting palate for that drawing would be. #idk sometimes it's nice to see a harmonious palette instead of whatever my greyscale brain wants to come up with #and maybe over time i'll intuitively pick up on colours that work well together?? palette osmosis? i can only hope #it's ok nonners! u colour the way u like!! if it's rly important to u #u can do that thing with the full study of references and chiaroscuro BS and reaaally get into it #like the concept artists who know how to tweak their warms and cools *just so* #but if you're like me and colour is rly not what u wanna focus on. not ur emphasis. then. join me in the lazy zone #god sometimes i just wanna pluck all my painter friends and have them colour my lineart because LIGHTING CAN CHANGE A DRAWING SO MUCH!! #but. alas. i am but a single me. and i have little interest in mastering light and shadow #asks

[starry-nocturne]

words cannot explain just how much i despise colouring. i'll doodle. i'll make a decent ish lineart. but if you love me don't make me colour my works TTTT

#misc; txt #skin is fun to colour sometimes #the colours are nice and i love making things soft #but hair. hair will be the end of me one day #how do you make hair look good and where do you shade hair and what colours and aaaaaaa

[gwinverarrouz]

I scanned a painting I did last month! I like how it turned out :>

#mydrawings #background #acrylic #i do very little traditional painting so i'm not very good at it but sometimes it turns out nice #i like the vibes of this one #and aaaa i love these colours #in my experience painting is very frustrating because i spend hours going ''oh no this looks awful oh no'' #and then a couple hours later it finally has some contrast and details and it actually resembles something #but the struggle XD #to be fair digital art is also a struggle i'm just more used to that one

What do you think of figurama figures?? I know they’re supposed to be cool and big but I think they aren’t painted very well—a lot of them (the lupin iii one specifically) look kind of dirty? And not in a good way. Have you posted any before?

you mean this one? no i haven't posted any, resin/polystone statue companies usually put a lot of logos on their promo pics which is fair but doesn't look great as a figure post imo.

i get that! i'm generally not a resin/polystone statue person at all so i don't really look at them and i honestly don't love the "look" that most statues have (unsure what it is, they just look different from pvc figs). i do definitely understand their appeal, it's just not for me!

#gonna ramble in the tags cause i don't wanna make this post annoyingly long. so i'll make the tags annoyingly long heehee #reasons why i don't buy statues 1. they're massive i don't have that kinda space 2. they're heavy my detolfs would collapse #3. they're heavy my wallet would collapse (shipping costs....) 4. small pieces often break during shipping based on unboxing vids i've seen #5. they're very expensive 6. the market isn't THAT big so they would be very hard to sell in the future #ok that's all. again this is no hate i really do see the appeal trust me.....i very seriously debated spending €900 on a dabi resin statue #oh also your comment about their paint jobs. i'm unsure tbh like i said i don't love the Statue Look in general so it's kinda hard to tell #i think their shading looks muddy sometimes but also sometimes their colouring looks flat. idk how those coexist but they do #one of the few characters they did whose face i'm very familiar with is black lagoon revy and i don't think they got the face right sorry... #then again no one fucking does. they really never do. but it would've been nice if they did this time #ok that's all <3 sorry for writing an essay #ask #anon #non figure

tiny little faces i never uploaded

#doodle posting #these were all drawn during the comic which is why they use that color palette #and that colouring style #though also im still using that pallete n coloring style even now n its been finished for a bit so LMAO #i guess ill be drawing in pink purples forever #listen. its a nice pallette #these r a lot of fun to do. i should take requests for these again sometime #these particular ones were all done for a friend :] #except the last archie that was just me wanting to do that specific archie face WWWW

#sketchbook #went to the seaside near me and instead of drawing like a nice picture of the beach or whatever i drew a shitty tat shop #well . its because i liked the decorative railings above it and also all the colourful tat and obnoxious flags hanging up #i had my shitty felt pens with me and honestly i kind of enjoy them as a medium .ugly messy felt pen sketches are healthy sometimes #tbh i actually wanted to draw like an arcade place that was next to this becauss of all the lights on the outside and the millions of toys #hanging up outside but it was kind of too much to draw and i didnt have the best view of it #i meant to draw some buskers by the sea front bc you know i might as well make that a theme in my sketchbook i guess since i already #drew that guitarist the other week #but i didnt end up doing that oh well

if you like the chocolate guy this fellow is also quite fun. he’s even got a long tasting spoon like the chocolate guy lol

I don’t think you can post instagram reels here but here a link (kris_zhaokai) and here is a screenshot of my fave and possibly most simple work of his

#chocolate #food #pastry chef #so great! #makes me want dumplings though #and much like so much sculpture sometimes I wish the chocolate sculptors would not paint the things as I find their textures #on the natural colour of chocolate to be really nice #but then they do paint it and it’s like oh wow #I’m sorry I don’t have the spoons for image descriptions for this one

Might be to do with my headcanon about his ''transformation'' but idk lol #I am rather pleased with how that set turned out even if I did draw him a bit too close in order so his nose got in the way haha #Going from clear to fuzzed but still in colour to just static was unintentional but I'm quite pleased with it #Happy accidents ♪ #An isolated laughing Spam - hopefully the reaction that one's linked to will post sometime in the nearish future lol #I was very pleased with how his mouth and jaw turned out in that one and so continued it #For the one where he's pointing I was trying to do the Joker ''You wanna know how I got these scars'' but like #So I wrote that out and it looked too weirdly plain for Spamton dialogue so I changed it and now it's unrecognizable lol #I guess that's in keeping lol #Then a small lineup!

Life In the Fast Lane Moodboards

Nico Dumont (6th April 1999. Bordeaux, France)

Formula 1 Driver, Scuderia Alpha Tauri-Honda

‘The picture was of Sophie and Nico, both aged 14, stood on the podium with another driver (Nico had won, with Sophie in second) at the first international karting race they had both competed in together. Incidentally, they had only met each other for the first time the day before, when Nico had rescued a 9 year old Will from picking a fight with another kid who wasn’t exactly keen on being out-qualified by a girl.

Nico had eventually reunited Will with the rest of the Knightsbridge family, and Mark and Mary were so relieved that they offered Nico and his family to join them for dinner, once they found out the Dumonts were staying at the same hotel. Sophie and Nico had been friends ever since.’

instead of letting negative thoughts consume me I went bird watching at the river and breathed in the cold winter air. I feel so much better and have some bird sightings to report:

Some ducks

Some seagulls (my beloathed thanks to highschool being their nest)

Some european magpies

Some canadian geese

A raven (def a raven not a crow it was fuckin massive)

A european robin

A cormorant

A heron

And a sparrow! (I think? Little brown fucker that moved fast.)

#rarest things here were either the cormorant or the heron #idk which is rarer #though all the big boys were cool to see even if they only flew by quickly (the raven was like a metre away so it was woah) #also liked the robin and the geese. They were vibing :) #didnt see any swans which I was expecting since the rivers from where I'm from have a lot of them in #But geese are like their cooler less agressive cousins #swans are pretty and all and I like their babies (if you havent seen a baby swan in person youre missing out) #but im not used to seeing large water foul in any colour other than white #its all swans and european geese so canadian geese were nice to see #... i regret not making a look at all those chickens joke... #eh ill try to do this again sometime and if theyre still here ill take a photo

[whimsyprinx]

the child has noticeably began glaring and then going “that’s just how my face looks” in reference to the fact that my resting face, as mentioned many times here, has been described by others as “miserable” and thus I have a few times had to go “no, I’m not upset, this is just my face” to people in the presence of the child

#whimsy whispers #she is currently obsessed with us being twins #if we are wearing soemthing that even slightly is similar she will go ‘look we’re twins’ which is so sweet but also #one day I was wearing normal pajamas and she was wearing pajamas and neither of our pjs matched or even had the same colour but she insisted #we were twins because we were wearing the same thing (we werent) but no one else also in pjs were twins #I do not pretend to understand the child’s logic I just accept it and smiled and go ‘we are!!’ usually #noticeably she’s also been trying to match outfits with me if I get dressed before her and sometimes will change anyways to match #which we are trying to stop because this child has like three or so outfit changes a day not counting pajamas #so we had to place a limit of outfit changes ahdjjfkf #anyways I do hope she doesn’t continue with the >:| this is my face because I just don’t like it #I know she’s a child and like doesn’t understand that I feel bad because she’s doing this and I don’t want to have to explain to her that #‘hey! that makes me feel bad can we not do that? I get you wanna be like me but something aren’t nice’ #this syart

I THINK i named her Luna i THINK

#art #ocs #oc art #watercolour #traditional art #ti(n)pm #luna #i love doing grayscale colouring like this but also i need to use up a lot of paint colours i never touch in my watercolor set #so i mixed a bunch of permanent yellow with my go to ivory black #and it looks kinda nice like a fun sepia tone #its also super humid rn cause it rained today so i decided to let the pain be as wet as it wanted to be #instead of waiting for it to dry fully before putting more paint down #sometimes its fun to utilise the advantages of watercolour being a wet medium #FUNKY effects...interesting bleeding and patterning #hee heeeee hoo

This is gonna sound so weird but I'm obsessed with Missy's eyes. She has the most crystal blue eyes ever

Idk, eye colour is very cool to me and missys eyes are just so insanely noticeable

#i think 12s eyes are blue too but its the kind of blue that has other colours mixed in so just looks grey from a distance #clara has a lovely brown and a really nice eye shape too - she has like. puppy dog eyes. #i think simm master had hazel eyes but they look darker in some scenes so idk #and rose has lovely hazel eyes too #i see people do fanart of rose with blue eyes sometimes and im always like noooo thats not right #if you want blue eyes then Missy is your girl
