Hi! I want to preface this by saying that I mean absolutely no disrespect; nothing but support to my fellow artist, your style is unique and valuable and that doesn't go unappreciated!
With that being said, I really do not think this technique should be relied on for beginner artists. The individual parts are there, but with fundamentals it's REALLY important you understand how they're put together; they serve as the basis for everything you draw and getting to know them right can save you a TON of hardship in the future!
It's also worth mentioning that the sad truth is that neither of these techniques are gonna take you only fifteen minutes if you're drawing anything other than a sphere haha, but I really enjoy the process personally! Everything's made out of shapes, so put on a video essay about some game you've never heard of and do your thing, it's therapeutic!
Remember to be careful when it comes to online tutorials and not just take my or any other rando's word for it! I'm not an expert; ideally you'd be learning things like fundamentals from professionals. Marco Bucci and Proko are two of my favorites who provide their super valuable knowledge for free on YT in really digestible ways; they've helped me a lot throughout the years.
And, most of all, remember that there's really no wrong way to draw as long as you're having fun. If you're getting something out of the experience, then you're doing it right!
Happy arting, everybody! ^^
fast rendering tutorial for when you dont want to put in any effort
I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY AND THIS LITTLE ITCHY BOY RIGHT HERE 👇👇👇
My finished entry for the CoS thumbnail contest! Oh man I worked my ass off on this, made half a piece (poll winner; #7) and then decided I didn't like it and went with my personal favorite. Churned this baby out in about four days which is quite the speedrun for me.
There are a ton of super gorgeous entries so I don't expect to win, but I think I have a pretty decent chance! Either way I hope you enjoy it! :]c Happy recode release week!! I am beyond hyped fr
Found this in my Procreate files! Funky experimental almost automatic piece I drew last year while hanging out with my buds in California. I had just bought a frikin adorable pair of cat squeaky toys and loved them so much that one became my muse for the evening :]
"When you're out on your own, a million miles from home Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, Don't forget who you are, don't lose your head or your heart I'll bet my life on the stars you'll be dancing on the moon."
Trade with wheat of Ohm and Pareidolia, waltzing together on the moon; a moment frozen in time :]
This is a MASSIVELY detailed piece I've been working on-and-off on for about a month now; make sure to zoom in!
If I lay here ... would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I was sad one night and wanted to watch something fun and colorful, so I tried Fionna and Cake and really liked it! Adopting Prismo as my surrogate blorbo he is such a pal (everyone's pal, for that matter)
I've been enjoying getting to explore some new fics, which is what this was inspired by (primarily this one), and then it went kinda off-the-rails and got experimental hahaha but that's okay, I was having fun!
Destined to fall, like all those before him.
I really love Veen with divine motifs <3 Half-inspired by @dimneo1010's really awesome YV design; I think I had something like this sketched up quite a while ago but they definitely put it back in my brain. The look suits him!
Bad art output lately, mix of stress and program issues. This was done in CSP and while it's a fantastic program I like Photoshop more. Can't use it for long periods of time though bc it lags my laptop so much! Blargh, I miss art, specifically painting; ideally this would be painted ;_; Oh well, hope you like it anyway!
Wow, haven’t drawn one of my own fellows in a while! Too many varying forms of brain rot. This is Skylark and I lobe him and my bat buddy plumbeach made him and I hope you like him too 🥺
Zösky thinks he’s hot shit but he’s really only the latter. Meanwhile, Kaput mange du pain. And only du pain. There is nothing in that sandwich
A very quick and very messy experiment with a neat line art trick my swag as freak pegasister @ieatchromebooks started experimenting with. You will go follow her...NOW! Her stuff looks way better than this does that’s for sure
I promise I’ll post about something that more than like four people care about in due time, been in a killer art block lately and these two are fun to draw ❤️💛 (Also I am once again indecisive about how to draw their outfits so that’s another excuse of mine. Here I gave them one-piece bodysuits more similar to how @eievuiisms draws ‘em, which makes more sense frankly but until I saw them pull it off so well I wasn’t sure it’d work so I never tried (hello btw hope you’re doing well!!). I find it super interesting how being in such a small fandom has made me intentionally or not take little things from everybody else’s art styles bahaha I kinda love it!)
More refs! Sorry for the abundance of these, they're what I do when I've got no ideas :P Will have something cooler to show you in a couple days!
Characters are Darian and Kayak <3!
Trying to fight art block @_@
There’s no way these two can afford phones

This shipping was supposed to be a joke. Emphasis on “supposed to be”
Decided I’m gonna start posting cringe to truly become free; prepare for uncomfortable amounts of physical affection
