Coloured in a drawing from months ago. Hopefully it's not too blurry.
The solution to art block is almost always trying a new style, technique or medium and I'm enjoying coloured pencils at the moment.
here's my last 3 sketchbook pages :) thought they were kinda funky and haven't posted on here in a while
can you tell I like green lmao
Redrew a childhood drawings in coloured pencil :) sorry for the lack of contrast
A tip for excellent writing I just learned: Don't introduce a character with their Dramatic Backstory. It makes readers go "oh alright this is the Dramatic Background Story Character" and establishes a baseline of Tragic, either for the story as a whole or this character in particular. With no contrast of light and dark, pure darkness isn't impactful, it just looks like the absence of anything to look at.
If you really want someone's dramatic backstory to hit the audience like a gut punch, let them get to know the character first. That way the dark backstory doesn't come off as a description of who they are, but an explanation to why they are the way they are. Bonus points for connecting it to something that's already been established as a part of the character - what a devastating blow to suddenly put together that hold on, that funny quirky thing that they always do is a fucking trauma response.
Wizards are not naturally immortal, in fact creating their own form of immortality is their graduate thesis.
entire plate of cheese. you agree. you reblog.
These are my ocs Flint (she/they) and Kai (he/they). If you see inconsistencies in their designs on here worry not I just keep tweaking them .
She's so pretty!! I love this so much.
Another art fight attack! This time im beating up @notmrparallel and their oc flint!
Today I learned about an incredible artist named John Conrad Berkey. He created cover art for many science fiction books, and also created artwork for NASA! But he’s most famous for his incredible Star Wars illustrations.
George Lucas actually bought several John Berkey science fiction illustrations and used them to help pitch Star Wars to studios. And many of Berkey’s pervious artwork was used as inspiration for Star Wars’s visuals.
Berkey was later commissioned by LucasFilm to create posters for Star Wars, shown below:
"Berkey's imagination and expressionistic style quickly set him apart from other sci-fi illustrators. From a distance, his paintings appear very exacting and perfectly rendered. But upon closer inspection, they reveal a beautifully loose and freely abstract style."
―Rusty Freeman, Vice-President, Collections & Public Programs, Plains Art Museum, Fargo, North Dakota
