A Pokémon Art study:

Wasn't Feeling particularly inspired to draw a whole finished illustration so I settled on a doing a bunch of sketches and as one thing led to another, it became a whole study.

Suprisingly: It actually did refresh and inspire me cause now I wanna test this new skill some more!!

Key take-away!! Not only are art studies good in general for learning but can be a good way to refresh and inspire yourself!! Even if it isn't your usual style.

shout out to @adorkastock 's HUGGE repitoir of poses as they were used for the "Reference practice: From Non-Anime reference photos" section as I practiced drawing something not from Pokémon and translated it into Pokémon's art style.

Buff as all hell and super cute to boot.

I wanted to make a mini tutorial on some of the stuff I do when I do digital painting. The first one is simple but something that took me a long time to realize, the second is something I haven’t seen anyone talk about and has really helped me out when painting.

What ARE Vanishing Points?

So I feel like a lot of confusion with drawing in perspective is because people are not taught the absolute basics properly? So let’s do that.

Let’s say we have a cube.

Now, a cube we know is made out of 6 squares or rectangles, and every edge is at a 90 degree angle.

so every opposite edge of a cube is exactly parallel, right?

but let’s say we draw a cube using only parallel lines:

this looks a little weird, you know? Like if i try think of this as an object in 3d space and i look at it for too long, the faces start to look really warped - with like the back looking bigger than the front as if its been made out of weird wonky trapeziums

so what’s going on here? if all those edges are exactly parallel, why does it look weird?

lets take a look at this photo of a railway track

Now we know that the rails on a track are always going to be parallel, they have to be the same distance apart so the train can stay on the track yeah?

But we can very clearly see that these tracks are converging to a single point in the photo.

So what does this tell us, exactly? That our view of the world is naturally warped, and that lines that are physically parallel when drawn in perspective will converge to a single point.

Now, I could call this image “one point perspective” - but that’s not really true,

if these lines are also parallel, then they must also converge to a single point in perspective, right? so lets add another point

clip studio paint automatically adjusts the horizon line to fit the new points you add to your perspective…. notice how the horizon line actually fits the photo better now?

our new point is a very very long way away, so we don’t notice a lot of difference in the angle between lines, but the point that i’m trying to make here is:

Drawing with perspective guides is not about choosing one, two, three point perspective etc. those are just quick ways to set up a certain viewing angle

What you are doing when you use these guides is making your parallel lines converge to a point.

So, if you want to draw a big ol’ cube that’s aligned to be parallel with these railroad tracks, then you can do that with the same point as the tracks - because it’s parallel. It’s on the same axis!

but what if you want to draw a cube that’s rotated, and isn’t parallel to the tracks?

well that’s not too difficult to do if you know that every point represents one set of parallel lines.

If these lines aren’t parallel to the ones you already have, then clearly you just need new points.

We’re not planning to tilt this cube up into the air, or rotate it onto its side, so we’re going to leave the vertical axis alone, and just move our horizontal points to a different place on the horizon line

But speaking of the vertical axis - the only points that will be on your horizon line are the ones that are flat on the ground. But you can still have points that are not on the horizon line!

This is important to remember because if you’re trying to draw something like a slope or stairs, something that has an incline, it’s not going to be level with your horizon.

Let’s draw some stairs as an example.

This is actually pretty simple - first draw where your slope starts and ends by drawing a big L shape.

this will give you some parallel corners, which you can then connect to make a new point for your slope

And with this you can then find the centre and divide that up into equal parts to make your stairs (http://lesbianlinkle.tumblr.com/post/176704472820)

So lets go back to our original cube, with the knowledge that our parallel lines should all converge to a point and draw it again

well, doesn’t that look better!

but also, now you know how to make a cube lean against its buddy like this

because we just make new points for the new parallel lines

Anyway I hope that clears some things up, and makes perspective easier to understand!

Also if these tutorials have been helpful and you’d like to support me, I do have a patreon & a ko-fi you can donate to :^)

Another short interlude. This time on Art Style. An opinion that I think might help those struggling too much.

Some reference photos I took for myself a few months back — use them for your own art if you wish!

Feel free to use them as drawing reference for whatever you want. If you want to show me, I’d love that, but you don’t have to.

Client sketch vs. final illustration

When someone commissions me, I absolutely love getting a rough sketch/doodle of their concept—it makes the first steps of an illustration (composition/posing) so much easier.

I'll never ever judge a client for a messy sketch!! (And also, no pressure to send something like this if you'd like the artist to take the creative reins on your piece.)

You can send me an ask here, IM me here or contact me on Bluesky or Ko-Fi (under the same user).

All payments are taken upfront. I have a Trello list to help me keep track of what commissions I have to do. All sales are for personal use only, and commercial usage is an additional 50% charge + credit to me.

I need to get funds asap to get what's currently on me off of me (and maybe something nice for dealing with all this bs I've had to deal with), and what better way than commissions?

UPDATE: So I have 8 payments to make that must be over $50. I told this to the person who defaulted on the internet bill. "How much is the payment plan" when I told him that $50 over 8 months only amounts to $450.

I have commissions open, though they will be slow due to me consistently depression napping and always in bed lately.

The OG text is under the cut.

Hi.

So, recently, I've ended up in debt. Wow, how could I. The thing is, I've never been in debt before and I, rightfully, freaked out about it yesterday. I owe $730.03 for a service I barely used for a month because it's in my name and the person who was supposed to pay it stopped paying it on time. Leaving it to go to a debt collector.

And yeah, that was my bad! I learned my lesson from it. No more having bills in my name that aren't paid for by me. The rest is kind of long and rambly so you can skip to the tl;dr by pressing ctrl+f and typing in tl;dr.

I woke up yesterday to a text message about it and cried. I cried, I contacted the person who was supposed to pay, who said he'd fix it but never paid anything towards it last month. Leaving me to get called and texted by debt collectors.

And yeah, I get it, money's tight during the holidays. The unfortunate thing is that this guy? I know he's paid bi-weekly to do barely anything but game at his work. He's got loans, he's got debt to a lot of things he never paid off and I should've taken that as a sign.

I didn't. I stupidly believed he'd pay and he just let it get later and later until I bothered him about it. And then he'd pay, and the cycle would begin again. He told me to cancel it, I tried, they wouldn't unless I paid.

The account is closed now. And the bill got sent to a debt collector.

I want to get this squared away as soon as possible. Clear it out so there's nothing tying me to this anymore. To a bill I struggled to pay until I told him to take care of it because I couldn't pay it anymore-- pay for a service I wasn't using. I scrambled month to month to get the $180 needed to pay for that bill because it was oh-so-important.

And I've tried to help him with this. Tried to help him with his finances and bills, as I'm broke consistently due to being unable to get a job (and I have tried for years) and cut things out when I'm not able to afford them. Yeah, he's in debt to people. He's got loans, but he has payments to pay them back that don't affect how much he can put towards bills. I've calculated how much he can put aside back when he asked for my help (which he never took! I may be bad at my own finances but that actually makes it easier for me to help others, funnily enough), and he never did. It was suddenly all gone every time.

tl;dr: I bitched for a while about how I tried to help this guy but he didn't use the help I gave him (after asking for said help).

But. That's not the point here. The point is, just like that damn phone payment he made me pay when I didn't have the money to and had to beg for help on it, he's left me a debt I can't pay.

And I hate it. I hate that I can't pay it.

I have a Ko-Fi set up. A goal set up. It's $750 for the goal because I don't know how much'll be eaten by fees and it's better safe than sorry.

I'm struggling again, and I hate it. The new year has given me a debt that I can't pay, and I have to rely on help from everyone else.

If you want something like a doodle or something for your assistance, just IM me here. I'll try to draw it to the best of my ability (sfw only)

I may or may not have been inspired enough to draw @hxroic-wxlls-fxrever's Hakurei God. The ultimate fluffy, messy hair was too good to pass up! A gift for friend.

Wanted to do a set of Bee and squad! Had a passing thought that in the early days of Orion adjusting to being Optimus, he tends to ramble to himself, overthinking as he tries to find a solution or figure out what he’s even suppose to do. Elita usually just bonks him to get him to settle down, but Bee is too short to get his attention or help. So he just climbs up and hangs off him to get him to refocus. They basically good cop bad cop him depending on what Optimus needs to respond too.

Then just Elita and Bee having literally anymore interaction and Megs having to silently tolerate bee wanting to be tall. He won’t tell him to leave, but he definitely debates doing it occasionally -3-
