“I Will Yeet For Those Who Cannot Yeet Themselves.” - Second Ideal Of The Windrunners

Kyoto animation made so many of the most beautiful anime I've ever seen and were responsible for some of my favourite characters, including our lord and saviour, Haruhi-sama.

The universe (through my biology class) taught me something today: Algae isn't a plant.

My life is a lie.

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

These are various character exploration pieces I’ve been working on lately. <3

I posted these on Instagram and lots of people have asked can they use these as references - the answer is yes but if you use them please remember to credit me and please no direct tracing. 

Also please do not re-post my art, re-blogs are always appreciated though <3

Dalinar saves Roshar by introducing a new type of grain that’s much more nourishing for humans.  He is… the Oatbringer.

I simp for one (1) faceless boy

Shou Tucker has one of these

I’ve had enough “boy falls in love with girl” redemption arcs. Give me “bad guy to dad guy.” Give me “villain’s favorite bakery has a ‘no villains’ policy and they had really good croissants so they reformed.” Give me “got bored, accidentally did something good, stumbled into being city’s greatest hero” type villains. Give me “villain worked for evil assassin agency, got their marks mixed up, accidentally killed bad guy instead of good guy, lol oops nothing left to do but switch sides” villains. Give me unconventional, fresh, and sometimes cheesy redemption arcs.
