Hello everyone! after a couple of months of work on this beast of a thing, the first draft of my promised writeup on understanding composition is finally ready! This badboy is almost 15,000 words, and over 150 pages long. In these images, you can see a couple of examples of the kind of subject matter I’ll be covering, but it’s very comprehensive.
This is currently available on my Patreon starting at just $2!
I think what I offer is a pretty unique take on composition, and it’s geared to be understood without a lot of consideration for the more finnicky technical elements of drawing, so if that’s part of art you have trouble with you might find some answers in my approach. Using my own art and examples from various disciplines and eras, I break down how to understand why a composition does - or doesn’t - work, all building to a toolset that lets you have control over your own compositions with precision and intent.
A sincere thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at it, and at the end of the day, always remember one fundamental rule of art:
POV you’re me trying to sleep but you’re getting story ideas instead
Figured I’d make a quick navigation/quick qna thing so here we go! For anyone who knows me this is gonna be a space where I do whatever! Like any other tumblr! It’s tumblr!

🤺 Feel free to use my art, just give me credit! A quick @ will do just fine!
🤺 Please lord don’t ask me what brushes I use. I work in 3 different programs depending on the device I use and I switch! brushes! every time!!! If you think I know what I’m doing no I don’t!!!
The co-writing experience is asking your homie if you can make one the characters a lesbian and then having a half an hour long debate on whether your OCs are alive or not, written as if you’re creating the Bible
Y’all ever just accidentally recreate a 59 year old franchise because you wanted your closed polyamorous trio to go exploring time and space together a la, “it would be really cool if character A could also travel through time, I mean think of how many adventures that would unlock. They could explore the universe, crash land on character B’s planet, invite her to join, they could meet character C after he flees from the army, and together they could go around saving the universe and getting into trouble and that’s just dr who I recreated dr who and made it gayer”
Me yesterday: huh, y’a know since one of my character’s gonna be a vampire I should look at the original Dracula story to see what lore parts I like
Me today, logining onto tumblr: why the fuck is everyone talking about Dracula
Big ol’ art dump for the week! Shorter than I’d like it to be, but I did decide to start doing this Saturday so¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you can sex a skeleton via the pelvic arch, but I really hope archeologists are out there chucking balls through hips instead, like why science when you could be playing a mad game of
