@loopylin right??

Oh that makes sense! I should really try that, I just don’t do full body very often, but I really do need to practice more diversity and styles in my art

@princesachronicle22 ohhh I never thought of that. That’s clever. I will try that eventually.

I’m trying to focus on learning how to draw different body types rn. I’m realizing there’s a lot I haven’t learned yet.

@loopyin

No same T-T, I almost never do backgrounds if I can avoid it. His biggest peice of advice on that has been do your background BEFORE you do your character, which I have never considered but he talks a lot about how it makes it a lot easier to paint your character lighting and make sure it all checks out. I still have yet to actually…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

I really need to learn how to do backgrounds. That sounds helpful

@loopylin

Oh cool!! Yes, I love watching his general stuff too, my favorite series are the Saving Your Art and the Turning Your OCs Into Villains, but yes his turtorials are also great, the best ones I think I watched were different ones about drawing head angles like side, front, quater view, and from below, and then how to color for beginners,…[Read more]

Oh cool I love that youtuber! I just recently subscribed to him. Haven’t watched any of his tutorials yet though. I will check them out 🙃

@keilah-h @loopylin

Aw, thanks guys!!

As for the renderinggg, its definitely an improvement from a LOT of my works. Like I mentioned I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials and studying my favorite artists styles to gauge their techniques and its helped so much. One guy I love a lot has youtube tutorials and art content thats super fun and…[Read more]

Hey what if the sun never actually sets here, but sometimes the fog/clouds thicken so much in an area that it looks like night? Just an idea idk if that contradicts anything we already wrote

@whalekeeper Idk how the sun works, but here’s what I started writing yesterday

Mel

The sun was starting to set, but Mel didn’t want the day to be over yet. She had slept a while in the sunshine by the pond, and she still felt plenty rested. The shadows stretched across the grassy clearing, reaching for the two girls.

Mel still watched the sky.…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

That looks so good! How do you do rendering so well?

No idea why it repeated that T-T

Guess I’m more rusty than I thought…

@loopylin

Oh noooo, I was afraid of that. I think the art topic just has something against me…

Time to try again though!

Okay trial and error revealed some pics work and others don’t, I think this one was just too big originally? But Screenshotting worked! Let me know if you guys can actually see it this time.

I don’t think the picture posted

Mel

“Cool,” Mel said, still in a low whisper. “I wanna ride one.”

@whalekeeper

Mel

Mel nodded slowly. She reached for her tea and gulped down the rest of it. It was sweet, but still not warm. She was getting full, so, copying what she had seen earlier, she began wrapping up her favorite treats into napkins and putting them in her pockets.

A large shadow passed over the tree stump table and across the…[Read more]

@everyone

SUCH LOVELY ART GUYS!!! @rae I LOVE the Baron sketch and the art contest one you did, and markers are a hard media, but you use them very well!!

I’ve been getting a lot more into digital and watching tutorials and this is a newer one I made of an older OC named Inez!

@whalekeeper

Yeah I think I’m going to stick with her being 7

Melissa

Mel studied Lucy from behind her folded arms, feeling both happy that her friend understood, and frustrated that no one else did. She took a deep breath and inspected one of her dirty hands. “Maybe… maybe we’re the kids who can turn into animals. It’s not bad if we can’t…[Read more]

Maybe Mel is seven, not eight. Idk. I was just realizing she reminds me of Lilo from Lilo and Stitch, who is only six. Ages are confusing to me.
