ART PROGRESS:
alcohol marker coloring improvement from September 2023 to April 2024 (6 month difference)
i now have a better understanding of how alcohol markers work and how to build up the color slowly to create depth and texture, and to prevent losing the lineart. i am once again more patient in lineart, shading, background art, AND coloring
i used lineart only for the subject - the dragon - allowing the background to consist of shapes to not be distracting. i used the texture of the markers to my advantage, creating a scaley appearance on the dragon and a cloudy one for the sky. i also used a white gel pen to add bright highlights and even more texture

I love this trend !!

progress has been made! I've added devil wings to finish the back, made a couple more patches for the front, and attached some D&D pins that i got from a local nerd shop/hangout space!
I'm planning to come back to the wings at some point and add some more details, but for now they're just solid shapes
Dan and Arin (game grumps) playing a VR game
i directly referenced a screenshot from one of their VR game playthroughs to draw this because i found it stupidly funny how much they kept messing with eachother during them
these are from may, 2023, so they're a little old but i still like them! and looking back on it i'm very pleased with how the rendering on Dan's jacket came out, i might try to play around with that in future drawings...
vest update
there's a few patches that I've temporarily removed to make room for the blue jay piece i added, but I'll probably reattach those to the back
here's a close up of the blue jay, which i made out of clothing scraps and embroidery thread
To all of my queer and trans siblings, we will survive.
To my fellow beautiful Black and Brown brothers and sisters, we will survive.
To my fellow women, we will survive.
To our friends who were once strangers across the ocean in Palestine, The Congo, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, and more, we will survive.
To the next generation, we will survive, so you can too.
To fight, is to survive, so thatās what will continue to do.
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on hereā- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! Thereās more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hairā-cause itās a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but Iāve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them hereššš¾ Iāll upload them all in parts!
