#im going to need 10 different pieces of paper XD

[ex-textura]

Hiya, Sebastian! ♥ I'm just passing by to say I really admire your art and your talent, and one day I hope to have enough money to share with you and support your beautiful work. :( ♥ I'd like to know a little bit about how you first came into contact with drawing and if you have any cheap/free tools and tutorials you'd recommend to someone who wants to start taking drawing more seriously (and knows 0% about it lmao), if you don't mind. Much love always! - tiefling enthusiast anon

Anon!! I’m so sorry it took me so long to get to this! This is such a kind ask omg thank you 🥺🥺

Don’t ever worry about not being able to buy anything from me, your kind words are honestly enough (and I know what it’s like not to be able to afford to support artists. It’s hard but I promise you messages like this mean so, so much more than money. I’m giddy rn lol)

As for getting into art, tbh I started drawing very young. I used to draw Pokémon and digimon on my desk in elementary school, and then going into junior high I started to branch out a little more though I stopped around high school and didn’t pick up drawing again until more than 10 years later lol….but it’s always been something I loved to do, and coming back to it has really filled a hole in my life I didn’t realize was there for a long time.

For a lot of my early drawings, it was just printer paper and ballpoint pens or plain old pencils until I got my first graphics tablet years later. So if you’re just starting out you don’t really need anything but the will to draw and something to scribble on. If you’re looking to start with digital art though there’s a couple of routes you can take. If you have access to an iPad, or can get one cheap (think used, past model… you don’t need much) there are a number of apps you can get such as ibis paint (which I think may be free or have a free version though I don’t use it myself) or procreate (it’s what I use on my iPad, but it has a one-time fee of I believe $13.99CAD). Or, if you have a computer I got started on a simple graphics tablet and you can get them for fairly cheap these days used (mine was like $80CAD) and I used a free version of Paint Tool SAI which works great.

Still though, if you’re okay not starting with digital art I would recommend just getting a small sketch book for under $10, a mechanical pencil and a gum eraser (those brownish ones). That’s all you really need to get started.

As for tutorials, I mostly watch YouTubers for art advice. I’d recommend Sam Does Arts, Drawfee, and Sinix Design

Sam does a lot of “rating art advice” videos, critiquing his followers pieces, and some goofy things but he has a lot of great tips and he explains things in a very easy to understand way. He also calls out his own flaws easily and teaches you to learn from his own mistakes which I find very encouraging.

Drawfee is four artists with different styles that mostly do art challenges among themselves but they also host art classes for their patrons and those videos get posted to their channel for the general public so you can still follow along for free. I like that they have different styles and different methods, and when they post their speed draws they talk through their process which is very informative.

Sinix is an incredible artist and while some of his videos are definitely more advanced he has beginner videos too that teach the very basics and I still spend a lot of time watching those ones to really drill them into my brain. He’s more informative than entertaining like the other two are, but his stuff is so good.

Other than YouTube videos, I also spend a lot of time on Line of Action which is a great site for practicing form and anatomy.

I’d also recommend the morpho drawing books if you can find a free pdf online (there are definitely sources for them I just can’t seem to find any right now…).

Im sorry this got so long winded xD I don’t even know if it makes any sense anymore lol. But basically…. Get yourself some paper and a mechanical pencil, a decent eraser and start with the basics. There are so many free resources online to get you there. After that… just get yourself a blorbo that you’re just so obsessed with and draw them over and over again until you can do it from memory. Then keep drawing them some more. It takes time and persistence and you might even feel frustrated when you start out, but remember that everyone starts somewhere and even the greatest artists are still learning.

And, please if you do start drawing feel free to share your art with me! I’d love to see it, and hopefully we can grow together ❤️❤️

#thank you for this ask anon #I really hope I was able to help even a little bit #drawing can be so frustrating but mostly it’s liberating #and I would love to share that with you #anon ask #advice

II Animatic Ideas

I HAVE TOO MANY OF THEM SO THE ONES I PROBABLY WONT MAKE WILL BE PUT HERE IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE IT OR I LOOK BACK AT THIS LIST.

Yee. This a looong post.

1. Familiar - Steven Universe

I was thinking it could be about MePhone4 and his memories. The first “Mom” could be the standards he needed to meet and the other moms could be referring to Steve Cobs or something like that.

2. I’m not a Robot - Marina & The Diamonds

Another MePhone one! This time, it could focus on MePhone and Cob’s relationship. Mainly MePhone trying to show Cobs that he, unlike a robot, can make mistakes and can’t meet all of Cob’s expectations.

3. Little Game - Benny

This one’s about Paintbrush. I mean- do I really have to explain? It fits really well in my opinion.

4. I am not Nothing - Beth Crowley

Suitcase standing up to Baseball and Nickel would really fit this song. With her thinking they were just taking advantage of her and the whole misunderstanding, this would fit.

5. Two Player Game - Be More Chill

Fan and Test Tube NEED to sing this song. I feel like this would sorta be something to look back at their friendship. Perhaps it could end or include a flashback of them looking at the stars? It’d probably take place in the space of time before Mine Your Own Business but after Alternate Reality Show and they’d somehow be playing a video game and just hanging out. (I really want this to happen if you couldn’t tell but I wanna do other animatics too)

6. Control - Halsey

-Inhales- I HAVEN’T SEEN SOMEONE MAKE THIS YET AND I’M SHOCKED NO ONE HAS. We need one for Paper and Evil Paper. This song can basically sum up what was happening to him in season one like omg.

7. Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

Really fitting considering how the competition has been . . . That. Oh, how nice and simple times were before! That was back when the worst thing that happened was a petty fight that wouldn’t cause them to be mad for long. Wouldn’t the II cast want to go back to those times? -Sigh- If only.

8. Worst Day of my Life - Alec Benjamin

Yet another MePhone one! (I’m really interested in his backstory XD) This one could focus on his life with Cobs and leaving by the verse after the first chorus and eventually erasing his memories near the end before the final chorus.

9. Inner Demons - Julia Brennan

This could fit for both Suitcase and Paper and frankly, I feel like this sums up what they were experiencing (but to be honest, I feel like it fits Suitcase more since Paper didn’t really seemed scared of Evil Paper but instead scared of how he hurt others). 

10. Secrets - One Republic

I feel like this song (especially the chorus) fits who Taco was. It could start with her and Pickle and progress to her story with Mic. It would a be a great song representing how she’s staring to come clean and being more honest and open.

11. I’m the Bad Guy - Wander Over Yonder

First of all, if ever I make it, I would use the Undertale cover mainly because I’d find it funny having Taco sounding like an evil little kid the entire video. Yes, this one’s for Taco. It’d be for Cobs but then “I’m not your best friend or distraught and clueless” sounds a BIT too much like Taco. Okay, a LOT like Taco. Anyways, this’d show a different side to her where she’s an evil piece of Mexican food and everyone is her peasant. Just imagine Pickle going against her. AGH my heart.

12. Be Somebody - Thousand Foot Krutch

I feel like I should end this on a happy song considering all the drama I packed into the previous ones. I imagine this one would focus on the contestants helping each other and growing as people. Bringing out the best and worst in each other while demonstrating how far they’d go to win.

---

S’yeah. Feel free to use these (and check out the songs, they’re really good). I’m not sure if hearing a song and thinking about an animatic for it happens to everyone but it does for me and I thought I’d share my ideas! I’ll probs share more if I come up with more. If you’ve got some too, perhaps reblog? Idk, I’d like to hear your ideas :3
