young broganes sketches bc I love them so intensely. you guys don't understand how much broganes means to me I love them so much I cry abt them. there's a reason the black paladins is my fave episode and I rewatch it all the time. gosh here comes the waterworks again.

"COooooOlllll!" I've been rewatching Pokémon: Indigo League—it's the only one I ever got to watch when I was younger, so I'm hoping to eventually watch the whole series. But from what I hear, it’s going to take me a while to catch up, lol.

This was inspired by Team Rocket dress-up as gyaru girls in the SS Anne episode...totally cracked me up!

---- Also, Wow, Tumblr. It's been a while… Felt a bit nostalgic and wanted to give posting here another shot. I really miss how productive I used to be when I was active here.

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

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.

When feeling suddenly awful because of a mistake, there's the impulse to make more since you're feeling bad anyway, but don't. You'll just continue the sense of feeling bad you'll restart the process of feeling safe again. Take a step back and do nothing you're unsure about please.

i think we've done a great job expanding the view of what a child's favorite animal can be. kids these days can say they love axolotls or pangolins or coelecanths and their decision is respected. maybe their parents can even find them a stuffed animal of it if they know where to look. and i think that's beautiful

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired
