Managed To Finish This Right Before The End Of Mermay :D

i’m trying new colloring styles and i’m happy with how this one turned out :)

Fukumaru blep

first drawing is a steven universe fanart that i drew more than a month ago. ( i am very nervous for posting my drawings online and i still need to make a whole lot of improvement but i hope that you will enjoy them)

College is hard but finally I can draw something for an assignment, have a mouse that also happens to be a maid from the great kingdom that also happens to be your cellar.

The design was made by @glitcherrii and I translated it into a Tim Burton-ish style.

I want to thank everybody that followed me and liked/rebloged the silly drawings of Fukumaru.

I had not expected them to get this amount of notes and you all just made my day/week/month/year.

Backgrounds have never been my strong suit but I’ve always had a weakness for forests.

A piece I did for artfight, the thick lines and pastel colors where something I had never done before but I’m quite proud of how it turned out.

It was made for @ msplebeian with their character Bon

Have a drawing I made in the train!

What do you mean no artblrs following you :’) (jk I haven’t posted anything in like half a year, too busy so it’s no wonder)

I think the first picture was from when I was around 8 too I think. What really intrigues me is how similar it looks to your daughters, especially the headshape and how the neck connects to the face.

Your daughter got quite a good feel for colors, red and blue are complementary and purple is next to blue so it’s a solid color pallete with a pop of yellow. The bright red of the cape pulls your eyes towards it instantly and you just know this is a heroine.

The way she used a thicker outline and a thinner pen for the face? That’s a technique used by many cartoons and comics to make a character pop. The rainbow with thin lines? Makes it look like it’s further behind the thickly outlined superhero, that’s some perspecive right there!

Also for me personally it feels like her girl is in a more dynamic pose than the book one, if you trace an action line from the straight leg to the head you can see it’s nicely curved. The one from the book however is just straight as a board.

The concept of the hero is also very creative, never seen anything like it before in the many superhero mediums I have consumed. Marvel and DC the two biggest superhero comic book creators in the world, who combined have over 2000+ hero’s. There isn’t one with tulips.

Drawing isn’t easy but through perseverance you will go forward. As long as you keep drawing, you will improve automatically and if you improve you can make your idea’s real. Everybody has bad art days where they think that it’s never going to work out, that you failed but guess what that’s not true. You are your own worst critic. Van Gogh thought his painting “night café” was “ one of the ugliest pictures I have done “ and yet we see it as a masterpiece, imagine that.

Never give up, keep going even if you stumble and you will flourish. Not a single gemstone or diamond comes from the earth perfect, it needs to be cut, polished, inspected and much more. Currently, you are that rough diamond but if you keep going you will become that radiant stone that everybody loves.

I know I know I am on a hiatus-ish sort of break so why do you have to see this?

My daughter (8) just picked up drawing recently. This morning, she tried her first superhero girl. She has a book (the left picture) with step by step instructions but as you can see on the right, her drawing is different.

She’s devasted and sad that her supergirl doesn’t look “so good” and that it’s “wrong”. I suck at art and she knows so when I tell her that it’s amazing, she mumbles I say that because I can’t draw either.

I am pretty sure there aren’t any artblrs following me but I know that some writerblrs draw as well so would you be so kind to reblog this with a picture of your oldest drawing or any beginner drawing you have and one of your recent ones?

She’s so sad about her supergirl and I want her to see that no one starts out perfect and that the people who put these step by step books together are really just people who’ve drawn a long long time already.

(btw the orange writing is German and means “Rainbowtulip”. It’s the supergirls name because she likes rainbows and tulips but hates yellow tulips so if she spots someone not friendly she shoots yellow tulips on them. But if she spots someone who is friendly she makes a rainbow for them and also takes a picture for her wall where all the kind people have a picture)

Due to the move I might not be able to react to any reblogs immediately but you can be sure I will show her each addition to this.

tonight’s stream results, I was taking one OC per person! we got some really nice ones!
