Is that a partial face reveal I see? 🫢

@ellette-giselle

WOW!! Those are awesome!

Thx! 😊 I’m trying to get comfortable with the line of action and forming the mass of the figure around it. It should make my art easier to look at. That’s what they say… Must… get better… *Eye twitches*

@ellette @keilah-h @rae

I guess Pinterest is the place to go, then. XD

@grcr

Yayyyy!! If you have trouble with her, take as long as you like, you’re the artist! <3

Aah I’ve never done this before, that I can remember. But I have a character! I love your art style and this sounds so fun! 🙃
Name: Izzy. But that might change.
Age: 15
Personality: Izzy is the definition of chill. She has a bit of a romantic dynamic with the main character, and she’s generally viewed as the quiet cool kid. She can be distant…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Ooohhh, that’s convenient. XD Thank you!

I woke up sick so I might not make it

I’m a bit late to this.

My art definitely bleeds into my writing a lot. All of my stories have some sort of color palette in my mind, and a lot of my characters, especially from Paper Stars, started as drawings I made. (Ex. Dante, Lemonhead, Mel) And my obsession with turning my old school work into origami stars a few years ago is what inspired…[Read more]

Even you were wrong, but believed you were right, I still think it would be good to disagree with the other person.

All of what I said still depends on the situation and the intentions of the people involved, though.

@stephie

Yes. There are some social situations where it would be inappropriate or pointless to start a fight with someone like that, but if the topic came up, then yes. Tell what you believe is the truth. Staying silent or affirming a something that you do not actually believe in is deceiving the person you are talking with. Yes, it might sting…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Ohhhh my wordddd

Ok that actually makes so much sense. I felt like the story was moving too fast and wasn’t exactly sure how to slow it down.

Thanks for pointing that out!! <33

@grcr

Mmm. If that’s how other books do it, I guess it could work. I looked it up and some people say to extend the vowels and smooth con…

@savannah_grace2009

Mmmm…that does make sense, I’m just not sure how to do that.

Instead of “hope”, my characters are trying to fix their problems themselves. Which might be a “false hope”, but I don’t really see it as hope. I understand what you mean, I’m just not exactly sure how to do that.

Ok! Yeah, again, do what you wanna do. But if you…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I don’t know what they’re talking about but it seems to be serious.

😂

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @rae @ellette-giselle @anyone

Where does everyone get their photo references for practice? I used Pinterest for the art on the last page, but I’m wondering if there’s a better source…?

Pinterest has lots of stuff, I’m just curious. XD

@keilah-h

I like the expressions! Looks like you use Procreate too, lol.

@keilah-h

I know a pair of twins who say they have it, but they’re probably joking. XD I and my younger sister sometimes have telepathy moments too, so I think it’s more of a close sibling thing.

I started gesture drawing while listening to videos on the French Revolution. And I just kept adding more. So here’s a good day’s work! (I used photo references because I want to learn how to draw quicker.) (And of course, can’t go without a little character pose on the side to keep me company.)

@highscribeofaetherium

Sounds good to me! I probably won’t have a lot to offer because my art is few and far between, but it’s a cool idea.

Pro-tip for movie watchers: Stop-motions tend to be higher art quality than normal 3D. I should make a list of my favorites and post it in the movie topic!

@ellette-giselle

I looked it up and it seems like it might be…. claymation? Something like that.

Yep! It’s stop-motion with lots of different materials. Stop-motions can be less expensive for the filmmakers, but they have to work a lot more.

@ellette-giselle

When I say it’s a good horror story, I mean that. There are a lot of thought-provoking horrors out there, usually to represent things gone too far, like dystopias. I think most good horrors are functionally dystopias.

Coraline is about home, courage, and the horrors of wishful thinking. It takes a ‘what if’ and digs into exactly…[Read more]
