#i've ... greatly improved

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

I am asking this to take my mind off of the update because the anticipation is killing me

where do you get your art inspo from? As in the art style :3

yk this is kind of a question i've been dreading! because a lot of people can answer definitively - they'll give names, urls, blogs.

but uh.. I really don't know? I mean there were some deviantart blogs in elementary/middle school that inspired me then, but since? I couldn't say! My style has evolved from me doing my own thing, I suppose. I'd take little bits from other people's tutorials/advice and then stitch it into my own Frankenstein's Style.

#i also in a way took insp from myself? #bc for a while i had two styles - realistic and simplistic #and then at some point i wondered if i could combine them. and i did! #and That has become what you all see today! #rambles from the bog #i might be able to give an answer in a few years! who's to say! #i'm trying to Improve more constructively and that means studying other people's art #recently i've followed some artists who's art i greatly enjoy so that i can maybe Understand how to draw in such a way #- not as in draw like their style! #but to be able to choose colors & lay out composition and such #the technical aspects! #so that i can then apply that to my own style and like. Improve lmao #because admittedly my style is rather... bland. i look at my art and #sure there are Some that are genuinely creative and interesting but most of it is just.... meh? #it's not something i would stop and gawk at! #and i want to be able to great something that makes people stop and go 'Whoah' under their breath! you understand! #i want to create elaborate backgrounds! combine interesting colors! Wow with Composition! #one day... one day...

Sappho. I wanted to know if I could under layer shading with markers. That failed. HOWEVER, I took a picture of my greyscale marker drawing before I obliterated every ounce of shading with grotesque color so that I could play with it digitally. I'm ecstatic. She is GORGEOUS.

#horseblr #horse art #equine art #mixed media #prismacolor markers #digital coloring #unicorn art #kifuart #so this is the first time i think sappho has EVER had shading #and i have owned this horse for eight years #i was so proud of myself for drawing her when i bought her design #i've ... greatly improved #2017 was my breakthrough year after all #but like holy shit this horse is absolutely beautiful and i think i may have to do this type of painting againt #because i truly do love markers but some colors are so damn hard to capture #so this gets the texture and the ease of marker without the worry of making mistake with color #in retrospect i should have looked for my white colored pencil that has mysteriously disappeared and went crazy with highlighting #but i also thought this was taking another direction and i've never layered marker over colored pencil before #ooh i needed this for myself

|| Tonight I went on another adventure with Taliesin (also using this mod)! And of course, had tons of fun while I was at it- I mean really, this sassy Elf has made me giggle in the past few days when nothing else could make me smile (due to personal reasons), I mean look:

..........that dragon isn't exactly hiding, my dear. 😂

Looking good in the moonlight~ (he did slaughter the dragon though, didn't really need my help either 😂 what did we unleash on Tamriel with him, oh my oh my-)

Then I dressed him up in some Immersive Armour, and got a lil' weepy before I headed off for the Thalmor Embassy (and let's just mention that dying there isn't the worst that can happen to someone who infiltrates it, by the way):

I put him back in his Thalmor robes and. His profile never ceases to make me go *siiiiigh*. He always ends up in front of me when we fast travel - or wanders around in my home, Goldenhills Plantation -, and turns back a bit like this and I'm 😩 Boy. Pls.

Oh, by the way, he's an idiot for running in front of EVERYTHING he sees. 😑 Trolls. Werewolves. Dragons. In today's playthrough he was Shouted back in the corner by a Draugr Deathlord because His Highness thought he'd deal with it up close and personal. (Constantly worried btw.)

Then he makes this comment and I'm. I'm sorry I love him. Same Tally, same. 😂 Princess or prince, I'm not picky, either.

I can't with this. I want to glomp on his back. 😂 Carry me, Tally! I am your burden. 😂

If I let him rest in my home and he's sandboxing, he starts swiping in every area?? Sassy, elf, AND cleans my home? Can I marry him? 😂

Then I dressed him up in my Lustmord Vampire Armour - and forgot that this way I ended up bare butt naked, because of which he was like:

Oh my gods, Tally. "Impressive specimen". 😅

Then we found a Heroic Stormcloak helmet and... he looks like he's thinking gurl. Seriously?!

Now I'm thinking, I'm going to put Vittoria's floral headband on him as soon as we get there with the Dark Brotherhood. 🫶🏻 And I will also put his ass in assassin leather. Yes. That'll be good. 🔥

#asgard to earth 💚 (ooc) #mun plays Skyrim #Skyrim #modded Skyrim #Taliesin #|| The quality of my screenshots will greatly improve as soon as my new laptop arrives. #|| Skyrim will be the first I'll install on it. As it always is. And immediately after... Taliesin and this replacer. #|| The only other companion I've loved this much is Inigo. I love these two. I wish they could interact. #|| *sighs* Waiting (not so 😅) patiently for Tally to be marriable. 🫶🏻 #|| I hope it happens - if he's this sassy when he's a friend just imagine how sassy he'd be as a husband. 😂 #long post #|| I LOVE THIS MOD DJJFJDKD HOW WILL I SURVIVE WORK TODAY I'LL KEEP THINKING ABOUT HOW WILL HE REACT TO THE REST OF THE MAIN QUESTLINE AAAAH

I know the reunion concert was literally just 2 days ago but my bros my guys my dudes I miss WATT so so much and I really do want this show Actually Revived because I miss my cheerleaders, pma's stories and music are fucking great and I wanna hear more, watt has so much room for improvement, and I wanna see watt thrive aaaaaaaa

#like i have had my fair share of musicals that Greatly Deserve A Revival (alice by heart (!!!) and love in hate nation (!!!)) #but i cheer for watt the most because um well yes it had me hooked in 2021 so im biased #but also because i've spent so much damn time analyzing the damn show #and ive said time and time again that it is a genuinely well crafted show that not only treats the teenage experience with mature respect #(like watt is the only modern-teenage-girl-focused musical that comes to mind that doesnt ridicule its demographic) #but also has a perfectly crafted emotional core (that being the story of vices and grief with annleigh farrah kate and chess) #+ the relationships they all share with one another! #and another reason why i cheer for a revival because i really do feel that show can be improved even further #(i still stand by my 2 yr old rambles that act 2 could be better and that the exploration of guilt with kate annleigh & reese would be nice) #and i really do want watt to improve because frankly the emotional aspects of the show have so much potential! #and lastly: as an aspiring writer and musician i genuinely admire pma and his works so much #and id love to see him become even more successful and prominent in the mt sphere or wherever he wishes to be #anyways yea watt has a special place in my heart and id love to see it officially come back some day #and thats the end of my ramble gotta go bye damn i really am in a 2021 mood #we are the tigers #preston max allen

Here's a random girl I drew in algebra!

(My drawing skills have quickly improved because I stopped trying to force my drawing into a style I didn't actually like that much and couldn't draw btw)

#original art #art #i honestly never felt confident in my art #and this isn't perfect for sure #but I do really like this piece and think I've improved greatly! #so I'm actually proud for once <3

[irbcallmefynn]

Ouuugghhghh I'm so full (of love)

Actually now that I think about it I am actually hungry I should get something to eat before bed ;3

#bedposting #love #fr there are so many absolutely lovely people on this hellsite #like this site has actually greatly improved my mood since I've joined #and it's helped me love myself more too! :3 look at me being openly a weird furry and bigender and cringe x3 #<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 #now to go get a quick snack :3

self-care is going into the h/enriel tag for j&h and blocking literally everyone there

#personal #my mental health and wellbeing will greatly improve now that i've done so and i'll feel a lot safer too. #for the record i've blocked everyone in the different tags for the same ship #my block game is so strong that when i ran into someone posting jekyde hate #in the henriel tag #i didn't bother to check if they'd put it in the jekyde tag #and just hardblocked them immediately

So I've been drawing the first of the grabbag ocs, and. I've made a bit of a fucky wucky.

I seem to have accidentally gave them some serious hips and thighs

#oc art tag #fufkgkkh i had to draw their legs and arms from scratch as I've greatly improved on my skill with those since i made this. #but. i exactly learned how to draw those features better from spicy art #the handles aren't my fault though those were inspired by tfp megatron and idw rodimus I'm sorry

29 and 30

milo!!! hi!!!

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? ohhh this is so tough. i've written so much this year, so much that i absolutely loved. but i wanna lean a little more emotional, so im going to pull one of my favorite passages from we all need a soft place to fall, since that fic hurts me the most

“The last time I spoke-” There was a sharp inhale. “God, the last time I spoke to him was today, Simon.” Today. It hadn’t even been a full 24 hours since Wilhelm had spoken to his brother, and now he never would again. “What did you talk about?” Simon asked, as calmly as he could. That was one thing he knew: he needed to be calm, because Wilhelm needed him. He ran his hand up Wilhelm’s arm, up higher to his head where he could run his fingers through his hair. “You,” Wilhelm told him quietly, as if that wasn’t enough to end the world, as if it wasn’t enough to build a new one.

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year? ahhhhh honestly??? the absolute support, especially from you <3 not that im surprised you are supporting me, mostly that i have never had this kind of support before and it has honestly shaken me to the core!! i say it on everything i post, but really i will never be able to thank you enough for all of your support throughout this year <33

(1)Learn the rules before you break them + Gather proper references

(2) Understand what you want to break and how

(3) Can't do it? Find someone who can

(4) It's going to look really bad for a while

(5) Have fun with it!

(1) -Yes, I am that kind of artist. Yet, not in the conventional way. I encourage people to go in guns blazing when it comes to drawing something new, then coming out analyzing what they know, and what they need to learn more of right away.

-Here, I broke down the anatomical pieces of Nour and Narinder's face with the same labels so you guys can understand this weird invisible pattern that I follow in my work. Doing this with any animal you're attempting to draw greatly improves your line confidence when drawing different face shapes. Also understanding the biological function for why animals look a certain way helps you keep consistency.

(3) Time to throw any artistic guilt you have for heavily referencing people's art OUT THE WINDOW and start ANALYZING PEOPLE'S WORK YOU WANT TO BE LIKE✨ I've always done this, having a reference of someone else's amazing work right next to my own drawing so I can try and understand how they make their magic work! No shame, no embarrassment, nada. Pure, unadulterated will and spite that I would be just as good as the artist who made me so motivated and happy with their work! I couldn't figure out how to make Nour's face both sheep-like, and humanly expressive, so I looked at a LOT of Zootopia and old Disney art for help!

(2) With how I draw narilamb, I'm still working on it (as you can see) but I wanted to break Narinder's face to be fluffier and slimmer, while Nour's face would be shorter and flatter. If you look at it for too long, it's absolutely going to look weird, in the way that if you look at Anna from Frozen for too long she starts looking really weird. The anatomy isn't meant to be correct or consistent, it's meant to convey the emotion and energy I want out of the characters in that moment. If you're able to properly get that across, then you don't need to think about how broken something looks, as long as your eye is happy enough to trick your brain into thinking what you're seeing is canny.

(4) Yeah, I hate this part too. It's going to look like shit at first. I can't even look at my art from a few months ago when I was figuring out their designs... God, so fucking ugly. If it weren't for the shittiness of those drawings, I would have never gotten here! Wading through the "trust the process" stage always really sucks, but it's absolutely worth the relief of when you finally get something to look right.

(5) Art is work, yes. It's stressful, it's long, it's straining, its draining, it's exclaiming, blah blah blah. But, I try to keep my art FUN. If I find my artwork becoming slow as I depressingly drag my pen over my tablet, I'm failing. You MUST keep spirit and life in your work. The spirit of emptiness or the life of sadness can have a very meaningful place in art, but those can only exist with keeping work light, easy, and fun! If you're stressing how a specific thing looks or how you can't get something to look right no matter what, FUCK IT. Draw something to bring the flavor back in your work! I'm kind of rambling, but just, HAVE FUN!✨️ Be messy, scream, laugh, slash canvases, throw paint, smash sculptures, tear apart books, GO CRAZY

#liseysart #illustration #cotl fanart #cotl lamb #cotl narilamb #cotl narinder #cotl #cotl art #i really REALLY need to work on how i draw narinder haha! #when i feel stumped #i watch videos that make me laugh to bring my spirit back
