Fun fact: Talas isnt good at using chopsticks at all and gets frustrated with them easily so if no one is looking he will cheat and just.. Grab shit with his tentacles instead. Freak behavior

The bottom drawing is old now but its still pretty swag so I'll share it as well

went back to the sketchbooks around when i was going through yyh for the first time in 2019 and found a pile of near-yearly sticky note updates about my relationship with the series next to my first yyh doodles, a page full of kuwabaras. thought it'd be fun to share

+ more thoughts and old yyh art below

(it's crazy i didn't find any kurama-centric pages for months bc i think he's the one i doodled in the margins of class notes and stuff the most. his hair's pwetty and he gives me the least trouble outta any of the main 4)

something i noticed while skimming the two sketchbooks i took these from was how mean i was to myself at the time about my art. i guess it hit me more because i don't really spend hours going through my old sketchbooks over and over to track my progress and growth like i used to quite often. i guess it was only a little after when my self esteem was lowest (8th grade, tale as old as time), but... idk. i knew back then that i'd grown a lot in the few years since i started drawing more seriously (that's why i looked through my art so much), but like... i guess that never translated into being nice to myself about it. i ended up going back through about ten more sketchbooks to find more yyh art, and in the coming years i'm glad to say that negativity in the margins went away. hell yeah

but even so, my love for yyh was a constant and effusive thing, as it is now. it's probably the oldest of my current media interests. i watched myself get into rgg and develop my ocs and watched others fade in and out, watched my style loop back on itself and go all over the place, passed by pages of writing about crushes and album releases and gender discoveries and my grandparents dying, all surrounded by little drawings of the characters i love. including kuwabara in a maid dress right next to my dead grandma grief rambling that one time (no i'm not kidding. my grandma died in like late 2020 and the page where i poured my heart out after finding out she was gone just trying to process everything had one with catboy maid dress kuwabara directly opposite it, who i'd drawn like the evening before she died in her sleep. he killed my grandma from like 100 miles away he was that powerful. that wasn't even the last time i drew him like that and i don't even care about catboys or maid dresses much. i think it was just a bigger meme and he was the guy i most associated with cats. i put that man in a situation and he fucking got her because the book couldn't contain him. some victor frankenstein shit. anyway)

i took about 150 pictures, most with multiple sketches. i decided not to add any more though bc 1) i posted some of them on old accounts but i don't remember which ones, and tbh i value my anonymity a little too much 2) All Of The Pictures Turned Out Bad in ways i don't feel like getting into but just trust me it's like 6 layers of fucked up illegible image bullshit 3) i found it hard to narrow it down to things i felt were indicative of the development or interesting or anything like that. idk. i figured it was an interesting exercise for me and it probably wouldn't really mean anything to anyone else. and that's ok :) it was nice anyway. i mostly mention it to be like Oh My God i've drawn these guys a lot and i STILL don't know what i'm doing... :| it's fun

however i did transcribe the notes i left:

7/9/19: yo it's been less than a week & i'm on ep. 80 wtf i love this show

8/14/20: 1/2way thru my 3rd watch (first dub, first [with older sibling]) & honestly still love it & kuwabara being the first one i drew makes me happy

7/28/21: i'm watching it w/ [younger sibling] now! 4th(ish) watch, 2nd time through the dub, which is so much better than the sub really elevates the text. we're at the semifinals of the DT, which means this is technically my 5th time through yyh up until that point but eh semantics anyway i still love & obsess over yyh! <3

1/14/24 (present day): hey, i'm rewatching yyh for the.. idk 5th or 6th time. still love it & never stopped. now i'm writing fic & drawing & posting about it. i have friends i talk to about it. [both siblings] have seen it. so much has changed, and so little, but it made me sad seeing how much i insulted my own art. i love you 2019 me. god knows you needed it

[+ this drawing]:

anyway. forever fornever. if you even care

#that's all. just kind of a personal post i thought was neat. skrunklore #skrunkart #yyh #yu yu hakusho #you can really feel the 14 y/o in a lot of the little notes and stuff but that too is part of the growth and change im trying to celebrate. #ripping my fingernails off about it but it needs to be done #also the hearts are because they love each other. and also me in like a cheering you on kinda way #ok more lore but around jr year i started feeling like my art was getting worse or at least stagnating and i kind of wished i could go back #to the era where a lot of that art is from bc there were little things i was better at and also bc i was much more prolific and adventurous #and while i'm sympathetic to it looking back after another couple of years it's like nah. no i was still growing i was just too close to se #like i'll be like oughh i haven't grown at all in years >:(( and then i'll look at the art i made over the course of 2023 and go oh nvm lol #some of it was more 'getting back into the swing of things' + traditional and tech issues being resolved but there was also growth #there is also stuff to be proud of and there always is and there always will be. that goes for you too reader #no matter what your art does or does not look like. i guess that's part of why im posting this too #part of what got me into visual art was seeing how people's art changed (sketchbook tours). it's cool and seeing that learning process so #well preserved and so easily analyzed kinda activated something in my brain. i think it got me past a lot of the 'im just not talented' #stuff a lotta ppl have that keeps them from drawing or sharing it or whatever. anyway art's cool i love art. gonna go draw now probably :D #ALSO really funny watching the way i drew myself change. all in ways that make sense but still funny to me. long hair glasses girl you'd #probably keel over if you saw what we look like now. hell yeah

i love using bright fun colors in my art colors are so fun. the universe disagreed with this however and decided to have my hyperfixation focus almost entirely on the arc where everyone is wearing the same white clothes

#skye's ramblings #meanwhile my url is the most colorful arc in the series with the most fun character designs in the series. i gotta draw more gp stuff #very close second fave arc <3 i do draw violet nigel anf gillian a lot but its all sketchbook doodles. need to post those more #anyway yeas escape arc stuff is always fun to draw even w the clothes being like that and ive improved w rendering white a lot #among other skills ask me to draw a character in a buttonup shirt i'll fucking crush it #honestly even if its repetitive to draw the escape arc uniforms i do love them from a narrative standpoint #adore how bright colors and clothes and individuality are used as a form of rebellion in t/pn so so much it fucking rules

fun facts about this character: she stole her cat, is a deadbeat mom, and is missing multiple organs completely by choice

[inakanotori]

You can say I was productive today, but not in a way I needed.

#need to browse my posts and finally make some normal system of tagging ;-; #sketchy stuff in the sketchbook #but about the evening #I'm still impressed by myself I have managed to watch more than half of the entries without getting disturbed and too tired #mél jerry heil and alyona duo as well as yak-tak slaps #also yak-tak with his performance reminded me about benkku and bess umk performances #and anka with kinda kalush x go_a thing just #the only thing i regret is having to skip mgp #also kinda proud of Danylko speaking Ukrainian and apologizing for upcoming mistakes #and his bravery to ask whenever he cannot recall a word (like with poyezdka) fucking admiring this guy

My cat is so mad every day I’m on my laptop because he can’t sit in my lap and can’t sit on the computer but my legs are right there and I have a footstool right next to my arm and a shelf for him above the couch but nooo, how dare I have anything else in my lap

#emma posts #I don’t want to get one of those beside the couch laptop desks because it would only be useful for my laptop and cost more than my lap desk #but he’s pushing it #if I start to cave in about my laptop though he won’t take anything else seriously #fuck my sketchbooks tablet and regular books #only HE #he already does this but is worse without the lap desk #and even more mad when i have to use my regular desk #I should probably get a better office chair #I keep falling out of that one and getting back pain #it was 30$ and has pretty much no support #but I still need to buy a kitchen table #my grandparents really want to buy me something for my apartment but I’ve already gotten most of what I’ve needed and have been using #a folding table without issue for over a year #i just keep forgetting I’m using a folding table and chair until someone points it out #like ‘oh yeah. this was something I was borrowing from family that had it for events #but they haven’t had any events that needed it #but I bought my desk and living room furniture and a lot of shelves and kitchen stuff over the last few years #and sometimes family would be getting rid of something old and be like ‘you want a shitty old mattress? it still works but it’s like twice #your age’ and I was like ‘hell yeah free bed’ #the town i moved to has a big ass thrift store too. and I have a big family #I know I’m lucky that way #though it would be nicer if people stopped dieing all the time #three downsides to a big family: hard to keep track of new people. some of your relatives will be crazy in a bad way. and people just keep #dying all the time. people are also born all the time. but seeing your family for funerals and being squished together in a church to #try and awkwardly process that the aunt you saw once a year lately just died #feels really weird and overwhelming #at least when grandma died I was a traumatized wreck. everyone seems to know how that works #not that I was happy with that or anything. it’s just weird when you feel distant during the ceremony

A Category 5 Magolor Incident is in progress. Will post all at once when it’s over. Incomprehensible preview <3

#my discord channel is named ‘Chekhov’s Birdboy Blade’ now btw #or at least that’s what it’s SUPPOSED to be named smh #let’s see so far I have the original sketchbook page and then four pics depending on how you count it #and I have two (three?) more specific drawings I want to do not counting #maybe more #got my drawing tablet working but it’s frustrating cause I need to experiment more with brushes and techniques but I haven’t been #I’m like right on the edge of being too dissatisfied with everything I’ve done to actually post it but I will anyways #also I’m commissioning a friend to design part of it (the legs) cause he’s way better at designing mechanical stuff than I am lol

[zpxck]

Yeah, and what about it?💖 (2019)

right Image related...somehow. Also the first sketch is based on these yoga pants

#my art #oc #jace #i need to bring back my baseball player unu #and not because i need to draw baseball uniforms...nooooo #i've been slowly uploading hold stuff cause i still like it and yeah it deserves to be here too #plus it's all from twitter #if anything i'm gonna start posting to tumblr first before anywhere else #i just....don't wanna go on twitter anymore if i can help it. it makes me feel bad lol ok #...well actually i think a majority of my sketches are on my instagram but i don't use instagram very often if at all #i posted on there recently but just to post and run #i need to use the blue pen again and more often i've started using highlighter as a base and it's fun but it only because using pen started #feeling too permanent lmaoo (as if highlighter isn't permanent) #....i'm feeling very chatty rn in the tags #sketchbook
