He hadn’t actually called Bird Boy by that nickname out loud had he?

You did, Celarent XD

Marcel

“How come? No flipping idea.” Marcel scoffed, letting out a husky lungful of air. It was best to keep people out of that world. “I’m Marcel.”

“Alias: your judge, jury, and executioner,” a kid teased as he passed.

@linus-smallprint ohhhh I see, that makes a ton of sense.

Hmmm, I’m not sure.

A little message to those who are new to drawing. Most How to Draw books aren’t worth the money!

Most of the ones I’ve seen look like this:

Yeah, they show how they got from one to three but they don’t explain anything. They don’t explain anatomy or technique, just how to copy them to get the results they got. While you may learn a couple tips…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint lol that’s too funny

My brother asks “why construction?”

in Florida, we have twelve seasons:

• cold front season (no actual winter lol)
• fake spring
• more cold fronts
• pollen season
• actual spring
• lovebug season (annoying little insects that get all over our cars)
• summer
• hellfire season
• hurricane season
• fake…

also everyone has awesome art! I still haven’t done mine; is it ok if I do it digitally? (That might take a little longer to post depending on how long I have to work on it)

@the_lost-journal lol

That’s me with Clone Wars style animation though. If I can get it to look good in that style, I can get it to look good anywhere.

@keilah-h

XD

It’s totally fine. Discussion is good.

But thank you @mineralizedwritings for moving it to the Chat Chat.

also @rae sorry for taking over your forum with “this is the good and bad of anime artstyles” lol

@mineralizedwritings true, our country was literally founded by people who at least professed to be Christian or follow biblical values, as opposed to many other countries which didn’t have that.

yeah, it’s pretty annoying that it’s all you can find sometimes.

Camera angles and posing are a big thing. Coming from a beginner animator/person…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Have you seen Avatar the Last Airbender? It’s an American cartoon in a anime style and it’s quite tame (maybe one or two unsavory jokes but that’s it) oh wow actually I just looked it up and it’s rated for 7+ 😂. The plot is really good though. I really like the girls from it, they seem like real people and look like real pe…

@grcr 👍

@the_lost-journal also yeah, it’s pretty easy to mess up someone’s gender online lol

I’ve been mistaken for a guy on my YouTube channel before. Not too big a deal, I just correct them nicely and move on.

@the_lost-journal

 I did copy the pose from the game though…so is that bad?

Of course not. You still drew the drawing yourself, and most the reason people need references is pose much of the time.

Thanks, and please do, anything!

Okay. I noticed in your picture that you made the sketch out of very short lines. This is often called ‘chicken sc…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah totally! I watched Haikyuu when I was younger but my sister screened it for me, and I skipped a whole season because of fanservice. I think I watched Blue Lock (S1) without too many issues but lets be honest it’s because it’s got an almost entirely male cast, and still I skipped some stuff, the scenes that play after the…

@the_lost-journal @mineralizedwritings yeah I have no idea what it is with cartoons. Japanese cartoons are so cute/made to look attractive and appeal to teenagers it’s annoying. And then American cartoons are often deliberately the ugliest things on the face of the earth for some reason.

Whatever happened to just drawing characters?

also y…[Read more]

Sorry the format is weird

@linus-smallprint    @hybridlore

Oh my word! I just saw that tiny bit of the test you created, Linus. I actually stared at it for a full minute because I was too scared to mess with it. That book is 100% way too real for me. 😂 And then I did a Cole move, threw caution to the wind, and have spent the last five minutes trying to hack it.

That th…[Read more]

@grcr

WOW!!!!

That is insanely good! You gotta tag me every time you post. I LOVE your art!!

Wow, I was not expecting to get 25 notifs, all but two from this forum, when I logged on this morning. I’m glad everyone’s having fun 🙂

@the_lost-journal

Of course you can use references!!!! I know you already posted your art, but I wanted to let you know this for the future. I’ve heard online many times people saying that “true” artists don’t…[Read more]
