I Traced Some Drawings From My Sketchbook And Coloured Them In! I'm Taking The Time To Relearn Digital

Just to let you know, if you've replied to a post that I've made and the first few words look and sound like fighting words, I stop reading and proceed to pretend like you never posted.

I REFUSE at my big age to fight on the internet. If you disagree with whatever I posted, that's fine, but it's also not my problem.

I used to fight on the internet when I was younger and it made me a mean, nasty and bitter person (only online, thankfully, but that nastiness stayed in my thoughts)

I'm older now, A LOT wiser (experience wise) and have got no time for internet BS! I came here to post art, read fan fics and occasionally post opinions.

Despite the foolishness that happens around here, I still quite enjoy Tumblr and I'm not letting anything ruin that for me!

Daily Doodles- Day 171- 04/10/24

A new character for a new story idea!

At the moment, her name is Artimax and she's a 59-year-old woman who lives in the forest village with her husband and children.

When she was 19, on her wedding day, she was accused of a heinous crime that she didn't commit and the people dragged her from her wedding and threw her into the 'dark forest' (I haven't decided on an ominous enough name yet) as punishment to fit the crime.

Her almost mother-in-law was ecstatic because she never liked her and her people-pleasing almost-husband didn't try to save her.

She was supposed to die in the forest because no one who entered came out.

Turns out people live in the forest, happily and comfortably. She made a life for herself there, met her husband and kids and healed from early life hurts.

That was until she got a letter in her mailbox though, from her ex-fiance's family clearing her name and inviting her to a 'welcome home' party.

Daily Doodles- Day 36- 23/05/24

I missed three days, so I did three doodles today to catch up.

I adore delicately shaped pencil art of whimsical ladies, especially when their hair is left the white of the paper. It's such a cool contrast

Here's my version of that.

i feel like this is a topic that needs more than just a tumblr post to fully expand on but. i think that in modern-day christian culture we place WAY too much emphasis on Feeling and Emotion . and i think that this attitude is part of the reason why the most common struggle you hear is "God isn't speaking to me/I can't hear God". feels like the standard set is that you're constantly feeling a Supernatural presence and it's Big and Obvious and it Shows and you can't contain it... when that's just not it. God can be quiet. God can nudge. God's voice is contained in the Bible that you hold between your hands. If you're not "hearing Him" then maybe your expectation of what hearing Him is is flawed.

Guys, not all of us are smart enough to be having these moral conversations on a fandom site of all places.

I see your 'hot takes' posts and how you have to back pedal in the notes because people smarter and more eloquent than you responded with reasonable counters.

Like, if your 'hot takes' involves meme language and internet slang, maybe don't post it, because you obviously didn't think long and hard about what you wanted to say or if it was even going to be seen by anyone.

You look juvenile and/or unhinged, sorry.

so for my french class we have to read this book about a dying child who is encouraged by a hospital volunteer to write letters to God. and my teacher was talking about how God in the book is not a detached, wish-granting deity of religion, but is rather a friend to the child, someone whom the child could share his feelings with.

and i was like:

my brother in Christ wait till you find out about God in real life

I had another idea for the cover, style-wise. I was thinking of clean, detailed line art with flat colour (possibly pastels or desaturated).

I love this sketch so much. I did this when I was still struggling to draw character art that I was happy with and is one of the few good pieces from that period.

I decided for Gabriella's pose to have her leaning towards Noah. The arm near Cyrus is held up as if she's carrying a shield. She's shielding herself from him (it) and leaning towards Noah as he's going to be a big help to her against Cyrus ( I love coming up with the hows and whys for what I do!)

I think I might stick with the more cartoony illustration though. I have been developing a more cartoony style for my other stories and I prefer drawing in that style overall.
