some of the things I’ve learned about making art recently:

you should make your art in stages, trying to do all the parts as you go will make it way harder to get a good looking image and tends to make things messy

• shaping, make a bunch of ovals or other simple shapes to outline the general shape of what you want to draw

• outlining, draw the outline of the main parts of the thing you’re drawing, unless you need to make a really long straight line, avoid using the line tool and mainly use the pencil

• coloring, add the base colors of the different parts of your drawing, and stick to some kind of pallette, throwing in a bunch of random colors usually doesn’t look good

• detailing, add the smaller parts and details to your drawing

• shading, add shadows to the drawing, the lighting should come from off page unless you have a light source in the drawing, light coming down from an angle looks much better than just straight down

using good references can help a ton, as they can help you correct your mistakes, just avoid tracing because then you’re just copying someone else’s art.

this definitely isn’t perfect advice, but I find that these can help a lot and I hope it can help other people who want to improve at art too.

Ok, I feel like there’s going to be a war about who started the war and why it started and a whole lotta other stupid shenanigans, can we all agree to just stop talking about it and just forget about that whole thing. Nothing good will come out of continuing this.

its crazy that 61 people follow my account

started this one last night, finished it this morning, I decided to experiment some more with the design and patterns

wow, it appears I have experienced a significant drop in skill issue

Why do I primarily become randomly motivated to do art at night

full image in case anyone wanted to see it more detail

new pfp because I felt like it

I want to have an un-skill issue at drawing

the voices in my head are all saying different things and its odd, here’s a list of a few of them

• me but yelling a lot for some reason

• an existential one who keeps talking about things I already know and is gaining an ego because they know this, even though I keep telling them to shut up already

• several of my own characters (mostly fine)

• an iterator from Rain World

• a computer terminal

• some goober who wants to document what the hell is going on in my brain (probably influenced this)

• some random shitposter

and probably more

biological neural networks are way more chaotic than silicon CPUs
