hey all, I attempted to revive my old old tumblr to escape this trashfire before it completely burns to the ground, if anyone’s interested? It’s the same handle as my other socials ;;
LRT gosh I've only posted this character a day ago and some of you took the time to draw him already I'm so happy ;; I'm glad you guys liked this little fella ❤️
@sleepyamel
oh boy, it’s been 4-5 years since then isn’t it? I think now’s as good a time as any to rephrase some things. I saw your tweet and really wanted to go back in time and smack my younger self in the face because sure, being good at drawing a specific thing is quite handy(ha!) but
@sleepyamel
I wouldn’t consider it what ‘marks a good artist’. What marks you a good artist is the experience you gather over the years through drawing what you love to draw while also trying out new things a you go.
@aerroknot
gosh, thank you so much! ❤️;; I like to use brushes with opacity taper rather than size, it gives a nice, soft effect to your lines.
As for the canvas size, I usually go for around 3-4k, depending on how much detail I plan on doing.
@GalacticJonah
Ohh yup, that's quite a big change ;; thankfully the gesture commands come in very naturally, so much I sometimes catch myself trying to use them when I'm drawing traditionally or in photoshop, ha
