Be ✨you✨!!

mushroom doodles from this week

Drew these all with the same pen. Got a lot better at shading with a pen over the time I drew these all.

The one comment I’ve gotten was about… I think offering their services to animate or promote it or whatever. I responded to it and it got deleted. Sad.

I’ve gotten several comments like these over on Wattpad as well. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

reblog if you’re a writer who’s very terrible at responding to comments from your readers, but has read them all and loves and appreciates each and every single one of them very dearly

paint (gouache)

outline

Nobody:

Gerald in Sonic 3:

“Shadeau”

Edit: Changed it.

It might be “Shadeau”, actually.

other random doodles

Experimenting with which way I want to do this…I have 8 different ways I did this.

mushroom #1:

draw

shade

outline

paint (gouache)

couldn’t decide which lighting I liked better…so have both! (There will be two pictures with slightly different lighting for the rest of the mushrooms as well)

💜

Almost a whole page full of little doodles!! I’ll probably try to squeeze a few more mushrooms in there at some point.

Closer look at the doodles from today:

Drew this first today.

Decided to try drawing more flowers…didn’t turn out as well as I thought it would, but oh well.

Tried to draw a mushroom just based on shadows (my art teacher said that’s the best way to draw realism).

Just pictured a mushroom in my head and this was what popped up. This is probably my favorite!!

Tried to do darker colors…it turned out ok. This was my first time trying to shade the inside of a bowl-like structure.

y’all, I wanna start reading (and potentially start writing) fanfics

But I don’t know where to start. I have an Ao3 account now, but I’d like to hear some suggestions for fics to read!

Fandoms I’m in:

1. Sonic the Hedgehog

2. Marvel Cinematic Universe

3. Percy Jackson (it’s been a while since I’ve read the books, but whatever—I’d be up for reading some fic about Nico being happy with his boyfriend or getting closure with his sister or something)

…just had an idea for a fic I could write.

I need to get on that shit.

Anyway, if y’all have any suggestions, please let me know!

>(Imaginary bonus points if it’s a really niche, underrated fic! I wanna support other small artists and writers!)<

still working on figuring out how to draw my Sonic OC

She’s starting to look better… I think I figured out the quills… but I can’t get the eyes a reasonable size, lol

Colored her in on IbisPaintX:

Surprisingly, it only took me a little over two hours to color her in on IbisPaintX.

Time to go leave comments on fanfics and lose my mind (positive) writing comments on people’s art.

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.
