Hi, guys! Just so you know, I've decided to open a Ko-fi! Nothing for sale right now, but I have put in place a stretch goal for a series of free bat bases! Consider checking it out if you like my art and you're able to spare, yeah? :Dc

Buy me a hot chocolate (coffee gives me the zoomies)

Work? Nah. Anthro jellyfish

This is the most fun I've had drawing in a while! Doing nerdy shit like this is my lifeblood fr. Yeah I know most jellies don't have eyes but some do and that's a good enough excuse for me to slap 'em on everyone

Trying to draw daily so hopefully will be more regular output from me! Can't promise anything though, you know how it is >:P

One of two pieces I did for Art Fight this year xDc Better than nothing, and I had fun! Focused on going with the flow and exploring.

This is my dear friend @mintytrashcannot's character Albert (and his alien dog Spluty)! I felt he seemed like a rather traditionalist guy who would stand by his country's greyscale palette even after color was legalized, so this is kinda meant to highlight that contrast between his natural color and his conservative values

(Hope that makes some kinda sense...the lore is a bit complex)

Hi! I want to preface this by saying that I mean absolutely no disrespect; nothing but support to my fellow artist, your style is unique and valuable and that doesn't go unappreciated!

With that being said, I really do not think this technique should be relied on for beginner artists. The individual parts are there, but with fundamentals it's REALLY important you understand how they're put together; they serve as the basis for everything you draw and getting to know them right can save you a TON of hardship in the future!

It's also worth mentioning that the sad truth is that neither of these techniques are gonna take you only fifteen minutes if you're drawing anything other than a sphere haha, but I really enjoy the process personally! Everything's made out of shapes, so put on a video essay about some game you've never heard of and do your thing, it's therapeutic!

Remember to be careful when it comes to online tutorials and not just take my or any other rando's word for it! I'm not an expert; ideally you'd be learning things like fundamentals from professionals. Marco Bucci and Proko are two of my favorites who provide their super valuable knowledge for free on YT in really digestible ways; they've helped me a lot throughout the years.

And, most of all, remember that there's really no wrong way to draw as long as you're having fun. If you're getting something out of the experience, then you're doing it right!

Happy arting, everybody! ^^
