@Nikki-fz8tj legit ive been sleeping a minimum of 10 hours every day since i started my break lmaoo

True true, its definitely a gut reaction to criticize the things i think i could improve in my art and its hard to realize that i dont need to criticize art thats long past,,, its so easy to get frustrated with the things i so obviously know better than now i do definitely have a lot of appreciation for the work i put in at this age, its sometimes hard to put into words how i can both appreciate something and dislike it, and i think i have a tendency to express that with a lot more disdain than is really necessary lol

@CertifiedMoth Yeah. Please don't take that as serious criticism, as I definitely do the exact same thing. Plus, I can tell you really do take an effort to appreciate growth and do give credit where credit is due if you like something! Which is amazing to watch :)

i totally see it, i wish i knew if that was something i was drawing inspiration from at the time or just a coincidence!

while covid was an overall positive for my mental health, got me out of the school environment for a bit, it totally also took its toll in a negative way! art was both something that i all of a sudden felt good enough to do half the time, and the other half was an escape from negative thoughts i totally get not having any finished sketchbooks until that age, i honestly think that would have been me if i hadnt got so into sketchbook tours from a young age lol. right from when i got interested in art i wanted to someday make sketchbook tour videos, so a lot of my practice for my teens was just sketchbook work! an interesting way to approach art but i feel like it really set me back in terms of polished skills ive really found a healthy balance now that im in uni- i make a few major finished pieces a month and fill out a sketchbook every 2-4 months in the background!

i try to simplify it into chunks if that makes sense! instead of worrying about every individual hair, i looks for the areas where it is arranged in larger sections. from there the lighting and shading become a lot more intuitive also since i work in acryllic i actually really like to start with my mid tones and work my way out to shadows and highlights

and that was not a sentence I ever expected to read in my life

LMAOO i would probably read the bible more if those words WERE in it

@ real lmfao

i feel like its something not talked about very seriously, i mean we all know 'shrimp posture' and we all know that bad posture leads to long term pain and issues, but i honestly dont see a lot of discussion on the ways it genuinely impacts artist's lives and pracitces that much, which is a real shame! ty so much for the support!!❤

@CertifiedMoth for real!!! I didnt learn about proper LONG TERM pencil grip until this year- and the damage was already done by years of drawing and studying. Art in SCHOOL also needs a unit on ergonomics because oh my god i wish i could tell myself i wasnt a crazy kid

​@@kaicreates560RIGHT??! like theres so many little things that are so important in being an artist to be able to preserve your body, I really do wish part of art instruction was learning how to use materials in a way that is both intuitive and doesn't damage the body! I spent so many years with AWFUL hand pain because I was always told I was holding my pencil wrong, but there were no alternatives offered to me besides one pencil grip that didn't even make sense to me. lo and behold, all I needed was a wide-barrel pencil and all my hand pain is gone!

@CertifiedMoth for me the problem isnt QUITE nailed down yet but its mostly stamina and angles of things (i tend to sit weird mostly because im short and cold haha)

ive always been fascinated by the structures within our bodies, how something so tiny and so easily messed with can be so so crucial to existence. as well, i just find the way we illustrate miniscule structures like that to be so fascinating, theres such a level of removal both through lack of realism but just viewing something so small its hard to somprehend! beyond just that base level interest, its just such an interesting symbol when thinking about my own experiences, having something so crucial that works against me, something so small and hard to comprehend that impacts my every waking moment definitely a motif i want to work with more in the future, hopefully in more detail!

@@CertifiedMoth love it love it <3

@kaicreates560 ooh that sounds exciting, i hope you enjoy it!!

@@CertifiedMoth Got a lot of planning to do for sure!! :D

thanks so much! character work really carried my sketchbooks for a while, figuring out that ocs were more inspiring than one-off characters was really crucial to my process!

Thank you! i usuallt just do mine with 1% milk, but when im able i always like to froth the milk and add a bit on cinnamon on top! coconut milk in it sounds delicious though, i will have to give it a try!

lol meant the first one but tbh both are equally accurate

@CertifiedMoth I know lol I was just making a pun, it sounds like the first one

i want you freaky style

@spacekitten4225 fair enough lol, i was really fighting how busy the buildings were in comparison to the bg, so i threw in a lot of brush marks to try compensate. i honestly dont hate how busy it ended up but i can see how you think that

i think it looks perfect the way it is

No there ain’t. It’s completely balanced, with the large size of the deer, the small buildings, it sends a message. That’s what art is supposed to do.

@DevilleQueen i grew up seeing a lot of dead animals, who were killed pretty directly from urbanization of their habitats. this piece was a bit of a tribute to those animals, reflecting on what i feel is such aunderdi-discussed tragedy, while imposing images of the city i live in over top. it was also thinking about the common response i get in this discussion, that its 'just the way it is', when i feel that in reality all of us benefit from a world where habitat and wildlife are pushed to the side for the sake of our lifestyles

@@CertifiedMothwow, it’s such a beautiful piece alongside that message. It hurts but you made a gorgeous piece of art ❤

LMAOOO it genuinely keeps me sane whem im stuck in the studio for 5 hours,,, more artists should know this hack

Oh my gosh, this is such high praise!! <3 Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to comment this, genuienly it means so so much to me!!

@@CertifiedMoth Ma’am/Sir/You’re more than welcome! And it’s no trouble at all, after all I’m just the one scrolling to meet this masterpiece! :D It’s only a fragment of what I believe you as a human being truly deserve. 😊
