Hii! just found your blog nd your work is so beautiful and exquisite. It's delicate and the colors are so warming, I love it!! casually found an ask about college major and its helping me a lot, tysm for share your experience. I don't have the privilege to go to college but I'm working really hard for it!! Ur response gave me so much serotonin to keep going!! I just have one question, if you're okay with it ofc! How exactly you create good illustrations fast? I'm struggling a lot with this one

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad my college experience is helping you too. I love being a serotonin boost! 

A lot of learning to create good illustrations fast is having the pressure of working under a deadline. In college, I often had to complete 5 full paintings a week, on top of schoolwork and a 20-hour a week job.

You start to realize what to keep and leave out, like are somewhat forced to let go of perfectionism and just power through. But, here are some tips too! Some are style-specific, but they’ll at least give you a few ideas to pick and choose from!

Working with minimal layers (traditional or digital), this allows you to focus on doing 1-3 really good paintings that come together to create your piece, instead of thinking of, say, 20. This is style-specific, but if it helps my watercolor work is always a max of three layers!

Use a timer system (I like the tomato timer method)

Set specific work hours (I only give myself four hours a day, so it’s taught me to be really focused on efficient)

Create thumbnails first (if you’re making a colored piece, make them colored!) These are a lot quicker to complete and they work as a guide, so you can power through your final painting. They also help your illustrations look better composition-wise!

Use larger brushes (this is really helpful with watercolor). You can get super detailed even with a large brush, as long as it has a good point.

Keep practicing basics too! (I sometimes slack of this, but I did it a lot in college). The sharper your skills, the higher chance your first or second sketch will look how you want it to.

Thumbnail examples btw! First image is a thumbnail, second is the finished painting, third is the finished tarot card (some small digital edits made too). This and the timer method are the most important for helping me work quickly. 

I really hope you find this helpful! :D

P.S. If you want to support my artwork, you can buy dog tarot prints right here in my shop!

You know what’s funny I was super scared about posting my gofundme on twitter because they are usually evil about that kind of stuff but it was the opposite you can’t post shit on here without some weirdo telling you to get a job like we don’t live in America it’s so annoying anyway turns out I still need like 20 racks to do what needs to be done and I feel weird cause like I’ve never been this close to my actual dream before but it feels like the goal post keeps getting moved further and further away I do not like talking about surgery publically but this stuff is so beyond expensive I couldn’t even do anything rn without being broker than I was when I started fundraising when people were pretending to care about black trans people for the first time in June brazy right
