Art Giveaway!

It’s one thing to have seen that giant metal suit and hear that there is a version of Barry inside of it, it’s quite another thing when you actually come face-to-face with what’s inside… seeing the scar and the milky white eye, but also seeing the person that you love be so twisted. Barry Allen, who probably has the gentlest soul of all of the characters in the Arrowverse, to just see how far he could fall, he’s both terrifying, but it’s also heartbreaking

Ska! How do you ink your traditional drawings? And. Would you mind sharing some tips for traditional?

Yes of course, thank you for asking! ; 7 ; / To start, don’t think you need expensive tools to draw traditionally, even just a $1-$2 ink pen or sharpie can look nice against paper! The tools I usually use for all my ink work is a red color pencil, $2 ball-point ink pen, and a sharpie (occasionally white out)! If you’re like me (someone who has trouble doing a large-scale picture and do better with smaller thumbnails), I would suggest to buy yourself a small canvas sketch journal! 

It’s a lil beat up, but this is what I use! It works well with sharpies/ink and feels great to draw on! As for sketching, I find red color pencil sketching looking better than a regular pencil! It feels like guidelines and makes the black ink pop out more! Here’s a comparison with an old doodle! 

A great way to make your lines look nicer is extra line weight! I usually give my outlines an extra stroke with the pen to make the lines thicker on the outside, and you might also want to go over your lines twice if your ink is not dark enough! ; 3 ; / I also occasionally use whiteout to fix mistakes or add lil stars/sparkle by dipping a toothpick in it. 

The next thing I suggest is using an app called CamScanner! It uses your camera to capture your pictures but defines the lines/colors better and works great if you want to use the lines as lineart when you scan it to color digitally (don’t think you need a tablet to color it! Half of this picture was colored with my tiny trackpad. You can totes do it with time and effort)! Here’s another comparison!

CamScanner on the left, and regular camera on the right! It also changes lighting, crops pictures (I had to crop the right one on sai), changes toning, and even fixes angled shots for you! It works wonderful and I recommend it! The last thing is that please have fun and take your time! 

I think that’s about it! Sorry if I went a lil long! Of course, I’m not a professional and obviously there’s probably more benefits with professional tools, but this is my process! Thanks so much for asking! <3

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.

Because love doesn’t stop at saying “I love you”. Love doesn’t end at telling someone how much you love them. It starts when you think of them every time you weren’t together. Every time you open your eyes in the morning and remember how wonderful your dreams are last night—because you thought of them before you go to sleep. It doesn’t end when two hearts decided to beat as one. It doesn’t stop even if you already said goodbye. In this world, where people think that hate exists too much, love goes on. And it will never end, even if the sun doesn’t rise in the morning—even if the rain doesn’t stop falling. Love should never stop spreading, darling we must let it live on.

Happy holidays everyone! Have a wonderful & lovely time with your family & friends ♥ 

This was my full “The Pride” zine piece for @thevoltronzine :3

Using a Ghibli Prompt list and for the first day it is a female character. I can relate a lot to Umi from "From Up on Poppy Hill". Also a good start to use some grey markers I had.

For every bad memory, there is a good one that will get you through it.
