I Woke Up And Remembered I Don’t Have To Watch Hazbin Or Helluva Boss Again. Life Is Good.

My first time hearing about the video was from Ayylmao's stupid short. Since him and his viewers are avid helluva boss bootlickers, I didn't give his takes any weight and decided to watch the video myself.

And holy shit, that was gruesome. I haven't seen a clarified self-inflicted gunshot wound like that since the 2010s and my first few years on the very wrong side of YouTube.

Wow.

Just....Wow.

Fuck me this was dark but a top notch animation. Actually speechless afterwards.

Hats off to dwinni for this.

I've been getting really into, and I mean REALLY into watercolors. And on a whim, made a very delicate piece.

This is Sorashi, an alien princess in charge of the mystical concepts of space and time. 🤔.....Somewhere in this cannon, I want to involve the planet "Betelgeuse", that massive star bigger than the sun with an unfortunate name.

Who knew talking about your OC's would be so uncomfortable...? Uh, so there's my art insight. Thanks for reading!

I see way too many beginner artists be paralyzed by this notion of “artstyle”. They want all their drawings to be consistent with each other, so they force random rules upon themselves (“i’m gonna draw noses this way” and “i’m gonna color stuff this way” and whatnot) that stop them from going out of their comfort zone and improving their skills. Then they use it as a crutch for their lack of said skills: “no it’s not bad anatomy/same face syndrome, it’s just my artstyle!”

I get that they want their art to have a distinctive identity, but as we all know you have to master the rules before you break them. Learn what you need to learn, don’t be afraid to try a bunch of different stuff and as you improve, trust that your preferences and your personality will shine through. That flexibility will also make you a much stronger artist.

The first tip is a bit contentious. A sketchbook arguably should contain high quality art pieces and doodles for variety and range of artistic expression. No wrongs in a creative process, right?

Being too hesitant to use a sketchbook for fear of "mistakes" is a personal flaw, Not a flaw of having only one sketchbook.

art tips post

for all the artist following me

Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up

Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.

Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.

Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.

Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art: Draw with Jazza |  DrawingWiffWaffles |  Proko |  Baylee Jae

Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.

There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.

Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:

Dynamic poses | Dynamic clothes | Dynamic figure drawing

COMPOSITION | PERSPECTIVE | CONSTRUCTION

Anatomy:

Legs

Arms

Hands

Heads

Body (Female) (Male

Color Theory

Improving your sketchbook

Most importantly, don’t give up! You may not immediately get notes or followers but it’s more important you get better than to have popularity. How do you think those popular artists got to where they are now? To be good you’ve got to work at it.

My... God...

Yep, that's pretty much it.

I was born almost 20 years ago, And for a good portion of my adolescence any question your standard 7-year-old would have I would obnoxiously ask my family members when they didn't look busy.

It took until I was almost 9 to learn that babies weren't birthed orally. And I only just recently learned that ice does indeed carry bacteria.

Character design inspiration/challenge

I decided to come up with some simple ‘prompts’. Instead of making it a weekly thing, I just listed a few ideas I had. You are free to take these ideas and design your own characters! Sometimes character design can help you create different and diverse characters!

Please tag your creations with #drawthisshitt so I can see them! 

This character is the guardian of a very important object

This character their most notable feature is the fact that they are missing a limb

Create a character design based of a plant you like

This character their goal is to guide travellers through the big, dark dangerous forest

Design a classic villain character but they are still a child

Design a character which represents a feeling or emotion

Design an imaginary friend who will protect their child from danger

Create a superhero, only their power is not that useful

Design a character which represent a character trait (for example: honest, greedy, impatient)

This character brings people back to life when they died unjustified

This character is the gatekeeper to a place of your choosing

Create a tarot character

This character is a ringmaster of a very odd circus (what makes the circus and the ringmaster so odd?)

Create a character based on a fear you have

This character collects happy dreams of children to fuel the world they live on

This character is a scientist who has been a victim of his own experiments

Thank you to all who participated! This was actually really helpful. Surprisingly enough, I do have a lot of art to showcase to you all, and it will be a little bit of both.

Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of starting many pieces at once, So if anything, anything at all, becomes post-worthy...I will make sure to post it.

Thanks, people of Tumblr! Can't wait for my next post!

Starting off strong with one of my most notable piece this year. I didn't know that painting on a frustrating summer sunday afternoon in JULY is actually the best environment for your creative juices to flow...

I also just haven't touched watercolors in a while.🤔😮‍💨
