They Homeless Catnap Box Him

I drew my persona as a Pretty doll, very proud of this piece. I like to imagine that Lou wouldn't like how wild my hair is, and forced me to tied it back as he finds it a bit distracting. This will also be used as my new profile picture.

Your art is super gorgeous! inspirational really!

Do you have any tutorials or online classes that you learned about doing backgrounds? I really want to learn how to do backgrounds/landscape like you!! qwq

(Sorry if you get this a lot!!)

Thank you! ;u;

Something important that a lot of people don't seem to know is that backgrounds and illustration are the same. I don't think they should be considered separate parts of a drawing because it makes it harder to research and learn.

In my experience, whenever I try to research how to do backgrounds, most of the resources I find aren't very helpful. It's mostly stuff like how to paint rocks, trees, water, etc. which can help! But they only talk about rendering those things. You need to know about shape language, contrast, perspective, light/shadows, brushwork, and composition which illustration tutorials/courses give you. Every rock, tree, clump of weeds/grass, etc. need to fit together with everything else in the landscape.

So! From the top of my head, the online sources I learned from that helped me the most is Tyler Edlin on youtube. Specifically these videos:

Random tips:

color relativity is real and you should use more grey

think of painting like you're sculpting instead

Imply detail: your brushwork should be creating most of the details/texture, so you don't actually need to zoom in really far and render in tiny texture details with a 6px brush (detail is the least important part of the painting imo)

Hey everyone! I finally made a tumblr account, so that’s nice. I will soon start posting more in the future. Stay tune.

HOOO BOY IM OVERWHELMED

In a good way! Thank you all for watching and for all the kind words and support. I was very much crying in my room this morning and feeling the love.

I especially wanna thank all of you here on tumblr! All your asks and questions and investment got ME more invested in my own characters. Like in a way I’ve never felt about my own characters.

But yeah there’s too many messages for me to get to so im probably gonna take a little break today but gaaaah I hope you enjoyed!! I’ll try to sporadically reply to stuff but my phone’s blowing up everywhere hahahaha

Also HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!! Our stories deserve to be heard and we should be able to exist in ANY genre. I hope this pilot shows that people wanna see Black magical girls and I hope to see more of it, even if im not the one to do it~

Houseki no Kuni, Chapter 107

My first animated Solaris. It took all day to do it, but it was worth it.

I'm getting so close to finishing this. Just been really busy lately. Can't wait to show to you all!

I made this for Brightgoat. He’s an amazing artist and he inspires me everyday.
