They aren't that bad! I keep thinking to dig up my old stuff but then I remember when I tried realism…. I'll show an older artwork once I have a redraw to show with it. I actually think you did quite well on the eyes and hair! Especially since, at least for me, bangs and hairlines are hard to draw.

@ravens

they're actually pretty good! I could not draw that good a year ago. But you've improved, which makes it even better! i've realized that I'm not making any sense so I'll shut up now

@soupnana group

Myeh. They might not be horrid, but there's a difference between childish drawings and actual attempts at making things look realistic. The iris's in the eyes look so blank and terrible, and the eyelashes, oh goodness, are basically just lines around the eyes. But whatever. They're old and they don't reflect what my drawing is like now. But thanks anyways. Ha ha.

@InstaOnly

(I just realized one of them have wolf/cat ears and I remember for the longest time I always drew animal ears like that.)(Also my new profile picture is my colored, but unshaded, persona I was working on.)

@soupnana group

(aaaaay I did too. And I think they were supposed to be fox ears. Yes, I know, they looking nothing like fox ears. Just another thing wrong with the drawing. Ha ha. Also, the colored/unshaded version of that drawing is so amazing!)

@InstaOnly

(Oof. I'm surprised I didn't suggest fox ears. I really like foxes and the other drawings you showed have foxes. And thanks for saying it's good! I decided I should render it in a more reference sheet no shading format for now to keep colors consistent and uncluttered. I might post the full drawing in a moment.)

@InstaOnly

I guess I got distracted at some point because I never posted the art… Here it is! Once again it takes up the entire screen.

(About time I updated my profile picture tbh. The colors is this artwork are much better.)

@InstaOnly

that's really cool!

Oh my gosh that's amazing!

Thanks! I don't actually think I'm going to shade it now. The more I think about it the more I think it's better I just use it as a colored reference image.

Ah hello friends. I don't have any old art that I want to share so we're not gonna talk about it. Speaking of art we're not proud of, I drew a guy running (one of my first attempts at motion) and I think it looks bad. I colored it and it made it worse, oof. Here's the uncolored bc I hate the colored so much:

@InstaOnly

Looks good Emi! Even if you're not proud if it the work gets the idea of motion across, and there's always room to improve. It's hard to show motion right in a still image, I mess up in that area quite a bit especially when I try to do a 3/4ths view.

@receptions

mmmmm i found my place. i love u guys this is all very good stuff!!! @/Emi I can relate to the hating colored versions thing but I'm sure yours is great! I think you did the motion very well and I love the flowing hair. keep truckin

Another thing I did for #SayHerName. Celebrating African heritage with dance! The anatomy is fucking horrible and I could do better with the colors, but I like it! Thoughts, anyone?

@InstaOnly

I like it! I have trouble using warmer colors like orange, so I think you did very well with the colors.

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

Soooo… I came across some resources and tips for you guys
First off, this is the greatest website ever http://artprompts.org
And second…
Yesterday, I discovered something that might be common knowledge, but it was news to me. So, you know how when you press "tab" while using a digital art program, it goes into canvas-only mode? Well, I was trying to binge watch a YouTube series (not an actual show, just a dumb gadget testing series) but I needed to work on sketching something. I pressed "tab" while in Krita, made the window really small until there's just a little canvas to doodle on, and then put it in the corner of my screen so I could sketch and still watch YouTube. It worked extremely well, I've drawn 15 different sketches of human skulls so far in the time I normally wouldn't draw anything. 100/10. Would most definitely recommend.

@receptions

oh I love sinix! my favorite art YouTuber for sure.
my tablet is really really old and I think the drivers are starting to give out, here's a WIP of what I was sketching before my tablet stopped working entirely. I should be studying anyway LOL

@soupnana group

I can't see the drawing because my computer's stupid, but I bet it's amazing!
(Also hello everyone including people who I have never met before. I am back from the dead. End of term sucked but I passed and so I am finally free to speak with y'all again. Pfft… no… I was not playing minecraft for the whole three day weekend instead of socializing. I have no idea what you're talking about. And I am starting to draw again so that's good! AND I AM GETTING BACK MY ABILITY TO DESIGN CLOTHING! Hallelujah!)
