The dog in question...:**

I've seen a lot of these 'I got that dog in me' on my fyp lately, but none Bluey related. So I obviously had to change that 🫡💖

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

as soon as i make something, i end up feeling really frustrated with it. i know this is a common experience, but it’s so hard working on something and being proud of it, and then being like “whoops, it actually has the same color issue all my other art has that I can’t figure out how to solve.”

i think if i had to guess what the source of that color issue is it would be that I don’t vary my values enough? and tend to stray away from really intense shadows or highlights. I’m also not really “making choices” when I do digital paintings in terms of lighting and stuff. it might be worth watching some videos. cause I really really hate how flat everything I do looks.

hi!! I’ve seen your Bluey art on instagram before, and I just found your tumblr. Your art style is so, so precious and wonderful! I’ve squealed several times scrolling through your page. I’m so happy to have found your page here!! <3

Aaawwwww you are the sweetest person! This absolutely made my day! Thank you so much!! That means so much to me<333

bonus: it would be less work to just quit outright..

some doodles as i figure out how to draw my favorite guy

@yarrow-leaf ‘s Strahd is and always has been my muse. which means it’s really fun to look back at drawings from September and compare it to a drawing from tonight, both using this post as a reference. idk if it comes off as as much of an improvement from the picture, but I can feel it in my bones — I’ve grown.

oop jumpscare from one of the ugliest strahds i’ve ever drawn 😭 use references folks please
