oh no I just came up with an idea for something very very cute

my brain is either β€œI made a really cool looking dragon and an entire universe to go with itβ€œ or β€œLOOK AT THIS FLUFFY LITTLE GOOBER ISN’T HE CUTE?!??β€œ and its fun I like this way better than nihilism

random thought: if lemons are super sour, and oranges are kinda sour but pretty sweet, would a red (no, not an apple, another fruit like a lemon/orange/lime but red) be super sweet?

being existential and making sense is nice but it’s also super nihilistic and depressing so I’ve decided to become more chaotic and make stuff up for fun

I’m now really thankful that I’m finally becoming more creative

(:< hb bbbbbbbrbrghrrrrrrrrrrrr

It begins.

update: I made a bunch of petty gods

And I will be giving zero context

(Does getting into art and making characters normally do this to people? I’m not sure but if it doesn’t than I quite frankly don’t care.)

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.

…they already stopped????? Why are you even bringing them up in the first place?????

idc, just stop the wars, please

special thanks to @eg for feedback and seeing this in its less good looking stages
