#these two have me in a chokehold FR #look i just love the idea of them lying on the hood of their truck in the middle of the night sharing a beer and looking at the open sky #buck has one hand in the air tracing the constellations while the other is tangled loosely with tommys at his side #he's talking about how cool it is that different cultures will look at the same stars and draw different pictures #and isn't that a wonderful thing about humans? that we can look at the same set of dots in the sky and through them tell different stories #about what is SO important to us that it must be literally written in the sky? isnt that just amazing? #and tommy isnt looking at the constellations - how can he when theres a star of his own right next to him? #so its evan he's looking at when he softly lets out a quiet “...amazing” #...whoops my fingers slipped #ANYWAYS #stay tuned for more in this moodboard series because it WILL happen #the bucktommy cowboy au nobody asked for agenda is REAL #bucktommy cowboy au #otp: better ways to get your attention #bucktommy #kinkley #tevan #firepilot #fireflight #evan buckley #tommy kinard #911 abc #911 on abc #911 moodboard #em's moodboards #mine #im back on my cowboy bullshit

MORE HAPRER PLEATHE HES SO FINE

youve asked this at such a good time because i had just had a harper design explanation idea and i wasnt sure if i should make it or not:

#im sorry i didnt do something more serious i tried to thats what ive been doing for the past since you sent this ask but. i couldnt #im sorry but feel free to send another ask and itll take me longer to get to it but ill draw something serious next time promise #my art #asks #harper the doctor #dol #anonymouse #sorry its not my usual style for this blog #just couldnt get it right with the other things #i also had to make like 4 new brushes because my old ones didnt feel right anymore #sigh. such is the life i lead #because i do think the side bun is cute but i do Not think harper would settle for that if there wasnt a good reason #my reasoning is that. harper cant tie their hair #please clap #im trying to find what this looks like though but i cant #but i swear one of these panels looks exactly like something ive drawn before #i just cant put my finger on it #maybe it was a sketch i deleted or something i have no idea #EDIT: found it it was a sketch on whiteboard my friend took a screenshot of #i dont feel right putting this in the dol tags because this is literally nothing. something that only applies to my design of harper #but i do want to keep my blog sorted :(

mikey said let's play EXTREME LEAPFROG

#artists on tumblr #art #digital art #my art #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #so this is just me practicing dynamic poses and some anatomy with the rise turtles because they slay and its very fun to draw them #this is why you have to be obsessed with something in order to get better at art #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #rise of the tmnt #i omitted some of their accesories like mikey's kneepads leo's gloves/arm bands(?) and both of their belts that go around their shells #i always forget those belts #but in the case of mikeys kneepads i was just so enamored by how the knees ended up so pointed that i didnt want to cover them #i love how their chara designs let you go bonkers when drawing #for example #the hands #i loooooove to draw their hands #in any other case hands would be a struggle but with the turtles its only 3 fingers so you can get more creative #at least thats how i feel about them #its amazing how in the show they can exaggerate proportions and perspective as much as they want and it fits perfectly

I am physically unable to think about them at their canon ages

#I was too tired to get into background drawing for this especially because this was just a de-stress drawing but in my head they're walking— #—through the London streets and run straight into a lamppost because neither of them are watching their step #Note that 1) Albert is missing his right pinky finger because my bf has the hc that he loses one in a failed experiment of his and I like i #and 2) Barok's scarf is a gift from his beloved Albert and if anyone points out its ugly pattern he will whack them with his cane #silly old man yaoi 👍 #the great ace attorney #barok van zieks #albert harebrayne #benjamin dobinbough #benbaro #my art i guess

Alright, here's everyone who got necklaces today! Individual pics:

Also special shout-out to Cabbage, my small bulbasaur plush. His firm bulb was perfect to use for stretching out and shaping the string for each necklace to make them more elastic and more natural fitting

#stuffed animals #plushies #plushblr #webkinz #jelly cat #jellycat #kinzblr #my fingers hurt from tying all those small knots. its a lot harder to do with no nails x~x #I wanted to di more but needed a break for today. maybe I'll make more tomorrow #if anyone wants better close ups please let me know #viti's plushies #viti shoosh #plushie: echo #plushie: autumn #plushie: zoe #plushie: Lil Vee #plushie: noodles #plushie: gummi worm #gummi worm was the most difficult to decide what beads to use #I wanted smth that would look good with his color scheme #but out of all the beads I currently have with me(I've got others in storage) the rainbow ones fit him best #so gummi worm got a gay pride necklace lol #also I gave Lil Vee the teal/aqua colored pencil charm because I consider that “my” symbol #its what I use as the symbol on my shirt when I draw myself and ifI put my fursons viti into my casual wear thats what she wears #and Lil Vee is basically the closest thing I have to a plush of my fursona (hence her name. my sona as well as myself as called Viti #and she's little. so Lil Vee) #btw cabbage did not get his own necklace today. he was just a helper. I'll make him his own next time #plushie: cabbage #almost forgot to tag him. sorry buddy

[ID: 3 images. The first is a digital drawing of characters from the owl house. The drawing features (left to right) Amity, Luz, Willow, Hunter, and Gus, walking through the rain in the human realm after King's Tide. Amity is clinging onto Luz, staring at and leaning away from some muck on her shoe. Luz is stopped in her tracks with a startled face, staring at her surroundings. Willow is walking forward motioning for Luz to follow, looking up at the rain with worry. Hunter is holding willow's hand dragging her along. His expression is hard to read. He's ushering Gus, who has one hand near his chest and the other by his side. He is looking away from the group, distraught. Everyone is covered in scrapes and cuts, crying to some degree, and soaked with rain. The background shows the lashing rain over a dark blue background. The second is a close-up of the same drawing focused on Luz, Willow and Amity, the third is a close-up on Willow, Hunter and Gus. End ID]

I'm soooo normal abt the owl house finale. Like you guys I'm being soooo incredibly normal abt it rn-

#kids exploring the human realm #kings tide angst #the owl house #toh #luz noceda #amity blight #willow park #hunter toh #gus porter #NOT tagging name variants because there would be so many. so so many #will tag the implied ships tho: #lumity #huntlow #HOOOOOOO boy this one was a doozy #just between the amount of characters and the level of detail given?? It's not terribly intricate but it is like. Dense I wanna say. Busy #this one was rough on the fingies. also procreate kept crashing and at one point i had to draw with a bandaid on my finger tip #which you wouldn't think would be a problem until u remember the way shortcuts work on procreate #its all good though- and the drawing process (particularly lines sketch and shading) was v rewarding #although I'm not gonna lie to you guys I'm still not happy with how hunter turned out #something abt his face and pose just didn't turn out right #i also wish I'd done the poses a bit better? Like the actual quality of the anatomy I feel fine with it's more. #How does this pose communicate this character's feelings? #because the concept gradually shifted during sketching from to #and I think that shows like. Idk why hunters so calm and why Amity's so jumpy at some mud but. They are #BIG fan of how I drew the girls though. Yes I gave them acne. it's important to me #man this is what i mean when i say this stupid show makes me wanna be a better artist. it's just. so visually wonderful #that inspires me to make stuff like this. it's also torturous which inspired me to make stuff like this #anyway I keep reading/skimming those post kings tide fics abt the kids walk to Camilla's after the portal closes #and I continue to be fucked up about it. So now I'm sharing that with you through my art. How beautiful <3 #alrighty that's all for the tags. enjoy these sad wet teens!

A gradient map is a set of colours set as an images' value scale - so instead of black, grey, white, it turns to whatever colours you set!

So then it'll turn this, into,

this!

Hope this helps :)

OH THATS COOL !!!! thank you for explaining :] teehee i was just curious i don't think they come in my art program but it'd be fun to experiment with

#i really should upgrade to a proper program and . like. a stylus one of these days. but i can never stick with it long enough to get used to #the feel of it #i bought one but its wired and unweildy because i have an android tablet. SAD ! and idk im just so used to drawing with my finger #did you know i draw with my finger? all of my friends think im crazy #sky answers #but yeah thank you sorry im talking to myself

I wanna get better at drawing in digital... I see all this really cool fanart and I wanna be able to do that too....

Be patient and practice Seari... And watch tutorials

#all that is on my art blog is almost all ive done in digital ever #its always something i pick up and leave because i draw on my phone and i get frustrated sometimes #i first drew on paint because i saw an artist that made some amazing shit there... and I really like it... but of course i want to do more #also drawing without a mouse on the dpad of the laptop hurt my fingers so i had to stop #then on my phone i started on my notes app and somehow managed to do two really cute pieces #now i use ibsx paint... its so different from traditional and thats frustrating.... #its so difficult to doodle in digital for me? maybe its the whiteness and the smoothness of the canvas... or maybe its the texture of the #brush.... sigh... i want to get better at it and make some really cool art... #im proud of how some end up but they arent full art pieces... #also i sometimes feel so conflicted about my art style... its cute... but that's about it... its not cool or anything else its just cute... #sigh... i have to get my life together and stop procrastinating... thats the only way anything will get better #< needs to go to therapy to learn to deal with executive dysfunction and hopefully get a diagnosis but doesnt have the money as of now #rant #might erase later

[gunthermunch]

i saw ur drawing and omg how do u draw hands? do you have any tips too?? the way you draw them is amazing T_T

tbh i stopped thinking of hands as hands and more like a blob that resemble a hand and i swear thinking like this made drawing them 89% easier for me. looking at my own hands and the way they fold and act depending on my actions also helped wonders.

here's a sketch i made just thinking ''here's where the hand should go'' and its final look

and these are little unpolished blobs that happen to resemble hands. sometimes i just dont feel like polishing them because they looks like a hand, we all know these are hands, so i just dont really bother on rendering.

#you can kind of see how my hand drawing process works. i basically draw a square and then i do lines or triangles where the fingers should #be. i only do this when im going for an intricate pose #if not then i just wing it but thats because i already know how hands work. its important to look at hands irl and watch them move and act #even if its just your own hands like i did #ask #gm reply #nonsims #alsooo tysm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the Artist Ask thing! (o•ᴗ•o)ﾉ♡

(5. What’s your favourite thing to draw?

(18. What are you currently trying to improve on?

(21. Do you like to challenge yourself?

YAAAY hi ily

5. Right now its Imra Ardeen from legion of superheroes. I love the way my design for her looks, and it is so, so much fun to draw. SO pink.

18. Currently I'm just trying to get good at digital art in general. I have never been very good at it and now i'm just trying to figure out how everything works. Its so different from the traditional art i am used to. More specifically though, I'm trying to improve on shading skin.

21. I love to challenge myself. It's honestly the only way I improve

x

#asks #and honestly its been kinda hard learning to do digital #because i am so used to FEELING my art be created and and those feelings are something that help me know i makin what i mean to #diffrent strokes feel different and go down different if that makes sense #like the sound and the scratch from paint brushes or pencils doesnt translate over to digital and it bugs me #digital is too... smooth i suppose. idk it makes sense to me #and also i don't have a drawing tablet so i'm just using my fingers on the track pad and its a little extra hard #which i hooonestly probably shouldn't be doing since they're messed up and it makes them lock up sometimes if i draw for too long #but!!! its the only way i can do it and i do like it so ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ #and i think i'm getting better so its worth it

im more aware about my behaviors/pattern of behaviors and i have clarity and understanding about them after realizing i was autistic but the trauma from middle school really makes me wish i took that awareness and hid every single special interest of mine

#even being rejected slightly. it makes me want to be 'normal' like i always desired deep down during that period #hide everything. hide how weird i am. mask. fit in. count how many words youre saying on your fingers and #make sure youre not talking too much #hide. dont overshare. learn how normal ppl fucking interact. something is wrong w u #and thats when i was 13 #i still have that in me but i dont act on those thoughts and that insecurity #but lots of things i cant do or wont get out of my head because i trained myself to be normal #and one of them is being open and honest about my struggles and wat im going thru #or wat i like. wat my opinions are. that need to tread carefully is still ingrained in me #no matter how hard i try to get it out #sometimes i just wanna hide that i love makeup and just. only wear it when im going out. by myself #i wanna never go in the makeup isle when im with my best friend and visually stim while just. admiring everything and looking at everything #i wanna hide it all. i wanna hide everything im into especially makeup #idk. i think i love makeup alot bc i sorta stopped drawing and makeup isnt really so much abt. looking pretty #or hiding my insecurities #its about just. having fun and like an art form to me. and theyre just fun and pretty to hold and look at. #and i love watching makeup routines and tutorials bc its fun watching ppl 'paint' #i just love the process. thats why i wear makeup even at home when i. have nothing to do. #but i wanna hide it 👍👍👍 #ur Average autistic woman guys! autistic about makeup but will Mask and hide it #vent

[cleromancy]

the specific flavor of roydick when they were queercoded, or at least--i mean theres *at least* a *strong* argument that they are, starting around... maybe devins arsenal mini through titans 99, but *definitely* outsiders all the way through roy leaving the team. but like, they're simultaneously queercoded and maintaining that very late 90s/early to mid aughts-specific heteronormativity yk. a swell couple in an erotic butch and sundance kind of way

(and i mean we do know devin in particular was writing with bi dickie in mind, shes gone on record on that, but like specifically roy and dick in relation to each other...)

and im just. thinking about this because in my beloved The Cheshire Contract in the *80s* they are not actually queercoded, the homoeroticism was just. two bros gettin naked in the same hotel room, being touchy feely bros hetero style... idk man theyre really affectionate with each other in it! but then by the time graduation day rolls around you can't even picture them that comfortable touching each other despite like. still being written as... i mean they're close, you know? *close.*

but they don't touch anymore.

and like thinking about. by contrast. my beloved outsiders #11 where. dkdkckflf. god. grace's famous you boys would make a swell couple in an erotic butch and sundance kind of way quote, roy cuts her off with a kiss, they have sex, and-- god im sorry please just read outsiders v3 because this issue is. insane. anyway then dick and roy have what *eye* would argue is a sexually charged sparring scene, particularly bc of the way it was juxtaposed with roy and grace. and it ends when dick pulls a fucking gun on roy *as an expression of care.* like explicitly that's why he's doing it. like oh my god! the rituals are so fucking intricate!

and like FIVE ISSUES LATER they have this massive blowout fight and-- fkflflfm.

the point is. the point is. my last reblog was about fictional male intimacy needing violence as a pretext. and i was thinking about the specific flavor of heteronormativity at the time and. weighing in my mind whether my beloved outsiders 11 or my beloved action comics 613-618 feels more intimate. thinking about the heteronormativity flavor of, these two guys can't be physically affectionate bc of it vs the flavor where they *can* be physically affectionate precisely *because* heteronormativity means it wouldn't be gay if they did. and i think its not quite a fair comparison bc i do believe the point of outsiders 11 *was* the intimacy, compared to the cheshire contract where it was an easy comfortable byproduct of their friendship. but, well! there most certainly is violence as a pretext, huh?

much to think about.

#one of my favorite issues of outsiders after 11 obviously. is the one where #anissa (iirc) says the quiet part loud and compares whats happening to John carpenters the thing #which is such a like... on the nose description of the *entire outsiders run* i love it so much #like outsiders is a little... its nowhere near as solid craftwise as winicks even longer-running run on GA #which is partly bc hester and parks were so solid and consistent that whole time vs the outsiders artists who... 😬 #i mean im even thinking of it had karl kershel on one issue whose art i normally really *like* but it was so lackluster in outsiders & not+ #just because it was ill-suited stylistically. the inks or colors or something i can never put my finger on it #...... where was i going with this. #i think mostly just i think winick does some very interesting things exploring masculinity in outsiders #and its a shame that he didnt have a solid team to work with that whole run #mostly for me. like it sucks to be like this book Changed me and then show you one of the ugliest drawings uve ever seen #(and. so many of the artists. did *not* understand grace is supposed to be butch dkdjfjdn) #and yk the editing was. not as good like even putting the art aside it just wasnt as tight #anyway. #dc
