A place for me to store inspiration and more! Pretty much everything here is a queued post 🐌
Anonymous asked:

May I ask what your typical brush is? I really like the gouache type look a lot of your pieces have

sorry i dont think my brushes would help you achieve a gouache-y look (typically i just use the defaults w some tweaks) try colourpick blending on a 60% opacity layer over the top of your flats 👍

Art is a sport

One common thing I see among artists who are just starting out is that they are very precious about their work -- ironically, way moreso than experienced artists. They need to get every line JUST right, because in their mind, getting that line just right is what stands between the piece being bad and it being good. I was like that too, for so long that I'm still struggling to catch up because of how it hampered my progress.

Being precious about every line is kind of like a track sprinter starting a run, but then restarting every time their foot lands in any slightly suboptimal way. This is comes off as silly, because we know that the "unit" of what they are doing is a sprint, and that they would make their greatest progress by finishing the full sprints, because that's how they train.

Well, similarly, the "unit" of art is a finished piece. What stands between the sprinter and the time they want isn't 1 individual step, but 1000 sprints. What stands between the beginner artist and making art they like the look of isn't that 1 line, but, i'm sorry to say, 1000 pieces.

Taking note of any mistakes you made afterwards is something done by both the experienced artist and experienced sprinter -- this is healthy and helps you improve. But you can do that later, after you're done.

That line is good enough.

RGB has a spattering of musical abilities which nearly never see the light of day but he has a soft spot for the ukelele. Hero can make owl hoots with her hands though so she wins the talent contest outright (also bonus concept doodle for part of the next chapter).

I’m amazed at how many people keep sending asks about the full feature SKIP idea, but just to give you a better idea of what I meant by SKIP being ‘an abbreviation of the idea’: I basically took the concept of a love story crossed with jumping through film genres and ran with that, keeping it to the two main characters, Mesi and Arthur.

The atmosphere and morale behind the full feature, however, would be very different. The entire story and set up is different, and the ending… well, I’ll just say the ending isn’t the same either.

These are just a couple of very crappy semi-board/concept doodles that might give you an idea of what it feels like in my head.
