I Had A Burst Of Inspiration.

OK WOW- uhhh since that little old guide is now my most popular post, let's do that again lol

I remade my old guide to drawing fire yesterday (CSP used) to make it easier to follow, but I wanna try working on a new method soon too. Have fun with it!

How To Grass

"It's as tedious as you want it to be!"

Basically, you want to hide the flat lines at the bottom of each section to make the transition vague. The more overlap there is between each grass color, the better it tends to look.

You may want to split the grass between different work layers if you're considering adding characters or objects after the fact, because this stuff is a real pain to mess with once it's down.

While the random darks and lights of the grass look fine, you should also consider where the environmental light is when planning them out. See this drawing for example, there are more dark areas near the trees.

PG 13 AT MOST WITH SOME LIGHT HORROR/GORE CONTENT

With that out of the way, here's some fun facts about me:

I'm nonbinary and use they/them pronouns

Both names I go by online aren't even close to my real name

I am over 18 myself but this blog is open to everyone

I make pixel, vector, and traditional art!

I'm also currently going to college for video editing, but I don't think that side of my art will end up here

I don't have a main fandom....I just make whatever the hell I want

Seriously, I don't think there is any fandom out there that I wouldn't make art for

Outside of fandom, I also love making original artwork not based on anything but my own imagination

In other words, I have a lot of ocs :3

Ummm.....what else?

My favorite color is aquamarine

My favorite ice cream flavor is cookie dough

My favorite eldritch being is The King In Yellow

billford to me is like. i enjoy this the same way people enjoy psychological horror. they are a trainwreck and how did things get this fucking bad . and the characters that are involved are just such compelling characters that the disastrous apocalyptic divorce just. it works

Goddess Madoka. A little old, but I still love it!

People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine.  If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?”  The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them.  Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?

Oh boy do I love the extensional horror of having no control over my life!
