hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak
Small thing that breaks my heart:
When I was in third grade, I told this boy that it would be my birthday in four days, and he said, “okay, then I’ll buy you flowers.” Four days later he comes up to me and says, “my mom wouldn’t let me get flowers but I found you this violet in the grass.” That in and of itself was iconic and so so sweet, but it gets better.
A month later, I had to move, and because it was third grade, the teacher made everyone write me letters to say goodbye. His said, “I hope you have so much fun in your new house that you forget about me. I hope that you’re always happy and you never miss us. I’m sorry I never gave you flowers, but I can give you some now.” And he fucking. Drew me flowers.
No, Joey, I never forgot you. You are the reason I have standards in this life, and I’m so grateful to have known you. I hope you’re happy, wherever you are, and I hope that the rest of your days are filled with as much joy as you gave to me. I spilled water on the card about five years ago, and half of it is a a jumbled mess now, but I still have it. It’s the only card I still have.
The funny thing is this dude and I hardly ever interacted. I knew he played football because he was on the town’s kids’ team and my brother was on the middle school team, and I knew he was one of, like, three Joeys in our year. I had a crush on him but obviously never communicated that because it was fucking third grade, but somehow those three interactions imprinted on who I am as a person. I am forever changed by Joey from third grade.

My favorite part of my art process is the color. Color can bring a piece to life, make it feel full. But...
It's hard to do that with a character that's just black and white! Since I've been mostly drawing Siffrin, my usual coloring process has become boring. Though, on the plus side, this makes me want to experiment more. I've been messing around with the tools in my art app (Infinite Painter) during my art process recently. That's how I got this piece. I used one of the charcoal tools for the shadows. I think it's called Glazed Vine. I don't remember what tool I used for the values on the cloak. It might have been the same tool, but I think it was different.
With using absolute black for Siffrin's design and the background, I had to outline the blacks with thin white line art. Though, with the lines being so thin, they were somewhat translucent. Whenever I had to use multiple strokes for a connected line, you could see everytime I lifted up my stylus. I tried to fix this by inking the lines multiple times. That fixed the problem, but that made the lines way too bright. So I looked at one of the lines that didn't need multiple attempts of line art, and I used my color picker on the line to get a light gray. Then I used the light grey to redo the bright white line art, and viola. Problem solved!
I had difficulty figuring out the pose and anatomy for this artwork. I probably should have searched up a reference, but meh. I think it turned out pretty good, anyways. I think I struggled with making the feet look like they're touching the ground, though. I suppose there could be more anatomy mistakes, but hey! Siffrin's cloak does a fantastic job at hiding any mistakes I could've made. Speaking of the cloak, I really like how it turned out! I think I did a good job with the cloak folds.
And that's basically all I have to say about this piece. Though, I want to mention that, for some reason, it's easier for me to draw anatomy and poses on paper than on my phone. I don't really know why that is. Maybe it's because I have more surface to draw on with my sketchbook?
Anyhow, I'll go ahead and add the initial sketch and a screenshot of my artwork in the middle of the coloring process.
I was originally planning on this piece being about Siffrin sacrificing himself for their friends, but I ended up changing that. I also had to change the hands. You can see that the hand holding Siffrin's dagger is wrong.
I added the mid-color screenshot because I just think it looks cool. It kinda reminds me of something that Julia from Drawfee would paint.

First time drawing her in four years. It's amazing how much my art has improve since then. My art used to look like a bunch of scribbles, but now everything is clear and percise. Soon I'll have to draw her twin, so I look forward to seeing how I draw him.
Edit: I have drawn her twin! And while you go find him, why not see Stan, too?
This is just a doodle I did of Siffrin in a cute outfit.
This a drawing I did of Eda the Owl Lady. I almost scrapped this drawing, but it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I think I ended up mimicking the art style of the show with how I drew her nose and pupils. I didn't really mean to do that, but it was just easy to incorporate in this drawing. I think that's because the show's artstyle is closer to mine than the artstyles of my other fandoms. Anyhow, I had loads of fun making this piece. (Also, the colors might be a tidge bit off - I didn't use a reference. I was also experimenting with shading and an imaginary light source, so that might be off, too.)
This drawing is actually from today! I just decided I wanted to draw Loop sleeping on a high branch of the Favor Tree. This was my first time drawing them, too! I think they turned out good.
I tried to draw the weird shadow patterns that trees leaf underneath them (ha!). Though, I don't think I was able to capture that.
Also, this drawing made me have to draw Siffrin in perspective (from a bird's eye view, to be specific). I think it looks good! Perspective is definitely one of the things I have to practice drawing.
Originally, I was thinking that Loop was having nightmares. But now, it just looks like Siffrin is bothering Loop and not letting them sleep. Siffrin, you have a House to get through! Leave them alone!
Anyhow, this is my last post for tonight! Thank you for baring with me. Thank you to everyone who has already left hearts on my posts! I really appreciate it! Have a good morning, or afternoon, or night!
I'm back in the Gravity Falls Fandom, baby! Still haven't read "The Book of Bill", though. This is my first time drawing Stanley, and I'm quite pleased with how this piece turned out. If anyone actually sees this post, feel free to comment about your favorite scene with Stan. My favorite scene is either when Stan fought a pteridactyle (no idea if I spelled that right) or when he fought those zombies.
I'm a 16 year old amature artist. I only speak English, currently. I go by she/her or they/them. I support the LGBTQ. My current fandoms are Gravity Falls and The Owl House. I'm not that knowledgeable about the Gaza situation, so I probably won't be able to help too much. I can only reblog posts about it, at the moment.
