SHUT UPPPPPPPPP EEEUYUUGHHHH

Quick sketch.

Hand is paralyzed again. I don't plan on drawing anything new only trying to dust off old sketches or ideas. maybe more POTO posting, maybe more tangents about the lore. idk, there's so little to work with Maxwell right now I'm thirsting for new content.

thoughts on hazbin hotel?

Woah mama it's the most trite and tiresome show I've ever seen

something i realized abt art eventually is that a huge part of having a style is abt what textures you want to depict the things you draw as having and that has nothing to do with realism.

ive looked at the works of some artists with rly impressive, sleek, cool styles, and while they definitely have a solid knowledge of realism the coolness doesnt really come from realism like at all. some people render hair like they render glass or jello so the hair looks so colorful and shiny but rhat is absolutely not realistic. some people render their characters clothes like latex or leather or silk so the fabric looks so glossy and sleek when thats probably not what theyre realistically wearing, but it *looks* cool and pleasant.

this really answered my age long questions abt why i spent all my time in art school but still struggle to make my arts like, specifically stylistically appealing, in ways those artists do it. because real life isnt appealing all the time. i can render skin as realistically as possible and i deflate and feel like i shouldve just kept it flat, because maybe i wouldve rather imagined i was looking at paper rather than human flesh. this doesnt mean all that time studying realism was a waste though because you still need to learn how to render materials/textures like glass and silk realistically to achieve those forementioned styles.

thats just me tho not everyone aims for their styles to achieve the effects that i personally find fun. the point of this post is to inspire people to pay attention to how textures affect style more. do you want your art to have a warm cozy feel? study the textures of blankets and plushies and try applying them even if its not realistic (eg hair). do you want your art to be cool or pretty in a delicate way? study how porcelain or glass reflect light and maybe render skin like that… the possibilities r endless

i put off posting this one for a while cus im a little embarrassed hehehe but i looove drawing unhinged expressions so much and shes the most fun subject for it.

just watched someone correcting someone else saying the mythology of a carp jumping over the dragon gate to become a dragon is japanese and not chinese and like.

so silly to me when people very confidently say things about culture or mythology like “umm actually its not from (country) its from (the country thats literally right next to the first country)” without even looking anything up. like yes multiple countries and places are absolutely not capable of sharing the same or similar things between their cultures ever, no!

it would blow these peoples minds to pieces if i told them a popular chinese tradition thats still practiced today actually came from jewish people moving out of egypt in the ancient past and the chinese tradition and jewish tradition that came from the same event are still very similar lol. they could not fathom how far stories can travel
