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...

I've been thinking a lot about art and why it doesn't feel good anymore, and a lot of what I keep coming back to is a) simply not being happy with my style, but b) not feeling comfortable experimenting because I feel like I need things to be """post worthy""" 🙄 so like... it's kind of a vicious cycle lmao so I'm heeding the advice I used to give people trying to overcome perfectionism which was "don't worry about making things that are 'good enough' to post and just post everything."

So... some vague style experimenting 🤷‍♂️ and also a sketch of Ilya from forever ago that I really liked but kept thinking I would come back and do more with.

#ghost city #maksim girard #ilya kasharin #I forgot Maksim's tattoos AND his little neck ridges in the headshots but oh welllllll #artbyrom #me: my struggles with art are deeply rooted and totally unique to me and I could never hope to explain them to anyone else #-describes two of the most common struggles for artists on social media ever- #I'm still happy with my general approach to lineart and the flat colors with minimal accent shading #and I even really like the thing I've done a couple times now of selectively coloring the lineart #so the issue I'm having is with like... the fundamental base of the art 😬 #so many of the artists I really admire have very minimalist highly stylized ways of drawing people and I want so badly to pursue that #I never really wanted my art to have this more semi-realistic look to it :| but I'm like... #I don't feel confident in my ability to portray a specific face unless I detail it to hell and back #I need to find a way to get comfortable with forms that are more... representational #fuck.... y'know a lot of it might come down to how outspoken my ex was about how much he disliked simplistic and representational styles #lol. lmao.

Smthn that I noticed alot on ur art is having a dark background with a very bright accent color (which look amazing btw) dunno if this will be helpful or not lol

@dragon-tamer-1

Thanks for the sweet words and reviews! ❤️❤️❤️

Now after many thoughts, here's the result:

#ask #art challenge #evil art style #lil moon #drag' #!¡ anon #...LJ I can't change my nationality silly #me doing artz #I love people telling me what they noticed I usually do artstyle-wise because there's always at least one thing I just never noticed myself #:D #well there are several things this time that are so very interesting #like the body proportions comment #I do always end up squishing a bit the proportions because yes cuter and it feels weird to do more realistic ones #like the background choice and bright accent color part #I always have such a hard time choosing a background color XD #I try so many colors before settling on one I might choose more often darkish backgrounds because it looks better with light colored bones #mmm I do draw often skelies or just pretty light themed ocs #I should add some darks to my team XD #the bright accent color? I didn't notice I just like colors ✨ And I'm absolutely enamored with glowing sparkling etc stuff so bright #the shading comment is fascinating to me prime good info I dunno how I want to shade Cell shading? It's so easy to mess it??? Rendering? Ho #does one do that properly??? Now I kinda stopped worrying and just shade like whatever pffft XDc so I like hearing how it translates from #your side ;D #I'm saving all the compliments in my special file btw #I'm very proud my drawings get percieved as soft and joyful that is absolutly a vibe I can bear with ;3 #also #a tear's soul #is the name of a project I'm still in the brainstorm phase #I did not intend to name drop that soon but I thought it fitted well the challenge #(‾◡◝)

this is my blog i can be a furry for like 5 minutes okay

#furry #my art #eyestrain #bright colors #neons #<-burned my eyes while drawing this and i want y’all to stay safe #one of my classes cancelled this morning so i had sooo much time so i drew a thing #personally i like drawing nonhuman characters because they allow for more shapes than people do #and like. i love shapes idk if you’ve picked up on this yet but shapes and colors are The Thing my brain needs #no matter how much i try to draw more realistically i always fall back to bright colors and strong lines and shapes #because i love them #i chose neons here because for whatever reason everything felt so dark this morning #i kept trying to draw but even white wasn’t bright enough and i checked the settings and everything idk it’s probably my eyes #so i needed something bright to see #and see i did #so i drew this #i was feeling like bright highlighter yellow and green #bc i really want to dye my hair back to highlighter colors it’s rad but fades quick #if you’re wondering what animal this is: idk. i was looking for Shapes and i made them #i was feeling a little bit like borzois (russian wolfhounds) #but they’re a tad different #whatever #this was fun though i might draw more furry shit idk #feeling great drawing so cartoony i feel like i’ve been healed #i mean. it’s not like i haven’t been drawing cartoony but i mean like #stronger lines brighter colors more pop-out eye-grabbing y’know? #it calms me #anyway i have friday off so yayyyy i get to sleep soon #i’ve slept like. 15 hours this week #major L to me

#I'm just looking at it and I still can't believe I actually drew that #I always wanted to try out this technique where people praw over lineart #and don't worry about uniform colors throught a picture #just picking the ones that are vagualy similar #so ofc I chose a dragon to try this out on #because humans are hard and dragons are just whatever you want them to be #and it's a year of the dragon and it's appropiate to finally post some dragons to celebrate it #and it had to be a noodle dragon because of that #and I still can't believe I drew this thing #It's just so #different from what I usually draw #more realistic that way also #and if my hand just wouldn't be fucking hurting right now like crazy I would promise myself to draw like this more #but right now it's just hurts to even write this lmao #I also can't believe that I set throu the entire night drawing this thing (started around 2am and now is 5:50 am as I'm writing this) #dragon #year of the dragon #noodle dragon #my art #my post

@samwasneverhere ! i drew your piglin villager guys! savanna villiger because theyre my favorates and the uh. axe guy. illager with the axe.

I wanted to go with a more loosy goosy style for the painting, with a bigger brush and less carefully controlled washes with a very thin brush. i really like how the illager pants and villager shirt came out, and i think the gold accents are nice :]

#minecraft #villager #illager #piglin #oakskull art #i went with a more cartoon approach to the villager #very round and strait in silouette #i wanted to showcase a more elongated and realistic snout for the illager #with a sort of cartoon top heavey muscular build #with the color of the shirt and jacket being so similar i dont think it reads that well though #i wanted to make the legs smaller without looking too unproportional #and the axe pretty small #like theyd do more damage with just their teeth and hooves #Also! #the illagers have 3 fingers on their hands (how i draw techno) while the villagers have hooves for hands and no opposable thumbs #anyways #if you see any mistakes #no you dont <3

Merry is a little annoyed with Tide and Keiki's a little bigger than last time they saw him. c:

#Muppen draws #oc Merry #oc Tide #oc Runt #oc Keiki #giant mer #Merry just got flushed to the shore :D;; #They're looking very stern you're lucky you don't see it ejkdsfhnj #Merry did swim a little bit I just didn't want to waste panels on it xDDD #And yeh Keiki got bigger. #He shifts constantly #often he doesn't even realize it. #Not the most realistic lightning in the last panel I know #but I wanted Merry to be somewhat visible and thus the slightly more yellow foreground! :3 #Kinda like underwater photos where there's color in the front and the rest is blue xD

I bought myself a drawing tablet so prepare for terrible fanart.

#the adhd demons compel me to try new hobbies periodically #and I’ve been disappointed with drawing on my old iPad and with cheap colored pencils #and I want to try everything!! #I love the watercolor look I love pastels and impressionism-style brushstrokes #i can (try to) create those looks digitally. that seems fun in itself. #i want to try chibis first because they look less technically difficult than a more realistic style but who knows I certainly don’t #i bought the Prismacolor 132 set of colored pencils but I’ve been too scared to use them for like 15 years at this point #maybe closer to 10 years i don’t remember. they are languishing in their box I’m sorry #it was fun to sort them into a rainbow though #every time I think I want to use them it feels like a waste. i know I am Incorrect but what can I do.

i am literally going to combust I want to draw the skrunkleys so so bad but I am not pleased with how my art looks at all recently

#zenta howls #one must imagine sisyphus drawing over and over again only for hades to not be pleased with his art #its me im both hades and sisyphus #everything i draw just looks so bad and wrong but i also cant stop drawing #its a curse #i want to have a super realistic artstype but i also want to be stylized as heck #and i want to have really really rendered drawings but at the same time i want to lay down flats and call it a day #i want to do layers with a water color brush to try to replicate water color on my program but i also want to mess with screen tones and be #more comicky #i will nto be pleased with drawing the skrunkleys until my brain feels that my drawings are up to my standards and do the skrunkleys justic

#i told myself i'll only draw sketches for the drawing prompts i've got. sketches are good sketches are fast(er than my usual drawings) #and now here i am coloring the first one and crying because can't draw something quick and put on a few colors and then call it a day #people wouldn't even care if it's realistic or not but my brain doesn't let me do anything but colored and realistic #i feel like i can't just reply with a sketch because people expect more #i want to find a fast coloring style but i can't because i don't like the million other pencils my program has #i'm so frustrated and sad and tired #i love this drawing it looks good in my opinion but... i don't want my brain to only let me post really clean linearts and colored drawings #do you like sketches? would you be mad at me if i drew some sketches for the prompts? #i don't want people to be disappointed because i draw a colored scene for someone and then someone else only gets a sketch #i feel like doing this wouldn't be fair but coloring my drawings takes a lot of time and i wanna post more frequently #my useless posts

the question of how to put the color into something using ms paint is a tricky one. because i don't have it in me to try digital painting, let alone with ms paint's poor excuse for brushes. block coloring is the classic but doesn't mesh perfectly with how i chose to give things outlines & whatnot. sometimes people color with bunches of lines/strokes like i imagine you would with colored pencils, which is a little bit like an inbetween for block coloring & painting-style. what i'll see done fairly often is colors in multiple blocks, different bands of the stuff according to the simple direction/distribution of light, but that would require me to consider a light source for what i create which. eek. is scary

#i Try when i go for my extra-realism (using pencil & paper) to convey light on my subject but that's extremely different to trying it out #with color & ms paint brushes #i don't have it in me to translate from real life -> pencil drawing -> digital colors #comet tales #digital painting seems so fun & realistic & impressionistic & whatnot but i don't. paint. in real life #until i take a fucking art class at school i feel like it's not what i want to pursue really #there's so many options more
