btw—im very much not an emotionally effusive person but i do want to communicate that i hope you guys are doing well. id say “im not going anywhere” but also the idea of dropping a show because it’s been cancelled is so foreign to me it feels weird to even acknowledge thats something people do now. i have previously tried to drop interests before my brain was ready and it never ever works. i am not very good at making friends but i would like to be your friend maybe. saying things on cue is often difficult for me but as long as your expectations are not too high i think i could give DMs a shot. i am considering adding more concrete identifying information about myself to my pinned post in order to appear more person-like. i always feel positively when you comment on my posts so i may start doing that more often on your posts. this may also make me more annoying but well what can you do

OK it's actually so important to me that ed and stede are friends. like. the bathtub "that's why I don't have any friends" "I'm your friend" scene is everything and I just. like I know it seems like a mistaken identifier because both ed and stede have no idea what real friendship is and they don't know what love is, genuine true honest to goodness love, they have no reference point. so while it makes sense that you could say they called each other friend first because they didn't realize what they really had was love, but. they were friends first. like before they realized they loved each other, they liked each other. and I think that's really missing in a lot of couples in media like, they're introduced as a romance without any camaraderie or genuine bonding. idk I just think it's really important that before they were anything else they were friends. yknow.

I kinda want to get into digital painting, how do you make your paintings look so good? Do you have any tips?
its really all about practice id say, and understanding shadows and light sources.
my mom has studied art for years, she no longer does it, but she told one of the most important advices when it comes to shading. draw a small ball on where you want the light source to come from, and draw from there. imagine how it will effect every small thing in the drawing, how little or lots of light it will have.
this is something i made while explaining this to someone a few months ago, this is what my mom told me what to do, and i learned a lot about shading from this. studying from real life is also very important, seeing how light interacts with objects, how light is reflected off to other objects, how blurry or sharp the shadow can be. its endless amounts of knowledge when looking at real life subjects.
when rendering, light sources are one of the most important things, learning the fundamentals can help you in the long run. thinking of what you want your shadows to look like too, do you want them soft or sharp, or even a mix of both? finding something right for you is important, and that's why experimentation is key for finding what you're happy with. trying so many different techniques is possible when going into digital art, take things from artists you like, redraw your favorite piece to see how they've made it, try new brushes or programs, its all up to you!
color is important when it comes to rendering, that could be said for any piece. color dictates the feeling of the piece, using many different colors in your shading can make it pop out. going back to experimenting, trying new different colors and palettes is very helpful too! play with saturations, values, try using only one hue. i stick to warms usually, but seeing what else you could be using can be fun too! color is limitless, try all that you can :D
in art, i believe experimentation is one of the most important things, it leads to your growth as an artist. i would be nowhere without it, and i very much encourage anyone to try all they can. digital art is one of the most expansive artforms, you can get almost any look with it, you can do so much with it that makes creativity limitless.
