different

If u click on it you'll get to see the animation I took this frame out from!

I actually love this drawing and coloring style it's so much less stressful I can't explain how at ease I am not thinking abt making everything look perfect v-v

spam incoming, I was too lazy to update for way too long

back to realism

Aah wenn das Teil eines Videos war macht das viel mehr Sinn, da ist es verständlich dass solche Details vernachlässigbar sind.

Aber danke für die anderen Bilder, vor allem der Elsa Shot ist absolut traumhaft wow 🥺

Und die letzten beiden sind auch so cool obwohl sie nen ganz anderen Stil haben, du hast nen Blick für das Zeug!

So ein ähnliches sassy close up von Ahri wäre DAS Ding gewesen tho, Hintergrund und Pose hast du bei ihr richtig gut gemacht! 🖤

Ich finde deine Fotos generell so pretty dass ich sie alle zeichnen will ahfnsnhd save me haha

jhope day

pretty rushed and experimental but ppl seem to like it so??
I wanted it to be a little softer but failed

Gonna experiment for a while, I wanna try a new "style" or rather concept and see how much I like it

Hello and welcome!!
We can really see your improvement from the first to last one, it's insane!!

I especially love the last 2 ones. The compositions r just so beautiful

I like how u tried to get a background into it too. The colors and theme really suit the character!

U just gotta watch out that it's not too messy? Like, u want the viewer's eye to be focused on Add but since the background is a little too flashy my eye wanders a lot around the whole piece.

Maybe you could've turned the left side of the background darker to suit the character? Then at least the eye wouldn't get distracted by that part

My favorite absolutely gotta be the infinity sword tho (or is that already the transcendence? I don't know the names ;;) the attitude, the camera shot, the simplicity, everything just speaks to me

asdhjk ICH SEHE JETZT ERST du bist deutsch und ich halte n Referat auf Englisch WOW
Hast du social medias wo du das Zeug postest? Ich würde dir mega gerne aktiv folgen aber bin zu selten hier in dem Forum ;;

even if the wild waves pass by

I'll never get dragged away again

inside, I saw myself

heartbeat racing in my ears bump bump bump

This song hurt and healed at the same time. I love it beyond what words can describe.

And this piece was really really fun to paint, don't remember the last time I was enjoying drawing smth literally from start to finish the whole time

Like usually there's a part that takes an unpleasantly long amount of time or that I just can't get right even after correcting and editing like 20 times but this one went pretty smooth.. really nice experience

interlude shadow

Finished almost a week ago, have mixed feelings abt it but it took me so much time n effort so...?

Black Swan is on the way that song WRECKED ME

I'm crying while drawing plz

whoop

last one has hq if u tap/click on it

here's my baby Taehyung again cuz idk I don't need a reason to draw him lol

Struggled a hella lot because I couldn't get his facial features right (=to look like him) but after A LOT of patience and experimenting and deviating from my reference I got it

Also..I kinda like complementary colors but... I still need to get the hang out of yellow and purple cuz wow..

I even went for an orange-ish tone but it still pierces through my eyes

Any suggestions? .-.

Anyways, now I'ma leave again cuz I need to finish my Shadow/7/whatever comeback piece tomorrow so see ya whenever I remember to upload it Luv

I need a reminder to update here lol

Taehyungie's birthday piece

my magic shop

(First n last piece have higher quality versions if u tap on em)

Both pieces have a deeper intention behind them and while the second one might be easier to grasp,

the first one is heavily inspired by the lyrics of his song 4 o'clock and how he is like the sunrise after a dark night for me.

No matter how bad it gets, he is always the hope that gets me up again.

magic shop is,,, about kinda letting go and truly feeling the music, feeling the lyrics and the emotions

and just the comfort that the magic shop, this place that exists yet doesn't, gives you

when everything around you is dark

Even though I think I could've done a lot better with the drawing, it has a special place in my heart.

amazing work indeed

I'd say this last design is the one I actually like the most. I also liked the story and it gets more sense once you've read it all.

As always, thank you so much for sharing your lovely work with us!

Thank you so much!! ☺️
Yes I was trying really hard to write it the way you would need to read more to understand what is going on glad it didn't cause total confusion tho ahfnsh

Thank you for leaving that sweet feedback 💜

butterflies.

My voice rang in an endless echo and tears ran down my cheeks for the first time in my life.

Butterflies don't have white wings.

Except her.'

[butterfly]

This was the first drawing I finished after my eye infection started to heal again but I couldn't post until now since it was part of a collab.

There's a whole ass self written story going along with this but idk how many ppl really wanna read that soooo,,,

I can just put it in a spoiler

Even though I think I could've done a lot better with the drawing, it has a special place in my heart.

Just because of all the effort that I put into it and especially into the story.

And drawing Taehyung always feels like I'm healing my soul.

It's hard to describe that feeling but it's special.

It makes me enjoy art.

whoop, next one

[ forever rain ]

Took only abt 1.5h and a wholly different route from what I intended when I merged the layers in black&white and couldn't go back lol

Still like the piece but not the art style

i forgot I could update here

click on the images for high quality

also I'm sorry for the huge files, tumblr doesn't compress when I want to but does when I don't.

gotta love it.

sorted from oldest to newest, all made the last 7 days.

pretty dissatisfied with my art style, but I don't know what to do at this point

just plain ass tired of myself

You really have an eye for happy cutesy stuff, keep it going!

How long have you been doing this for?

Quote from Maeve

I just come here slightly to leave a comment to your wonderful creative skill!

I wish I could be as good as you are I'm just in love with this one at first sight

-snip-

Hope you could recover yourself! Don't forget to keep sharing those cute images with us

Those words mean so much to me, thank you!
Anyone can be good at anything if we just practice hard enough tho

Also I haven't fully recovered yet, sadly. I tried different medication according to different doctors' prescriptions and even though it's better I'm still far from normal.

With the medication I'm on right now, I'm supposed to be back to normal in less than 2 weeks time so hopefully around then I can start creating smth again

It actually makes me really really happy to hear that someone is excited about my art, thanks a whole lot again! 💜💜

Rest. Aching.

laziness

probably won't post for a while anymore because my eyes can't stand my tablet screen recent days,

it already hurts just writing this.

2/7

temporary.

#1 HQ

After the first one I only wanted to do a few sketches to practice more than just headshots but,,

I apparently can NOT EVER leave things half done so I had to put effort in and it took me 9 hrs to kinda fill the page =-=

But this sketch gotta me one of my all time favorite pieces ever, idk why

Also learned a lot about drawing hair and layering it n stuff, was really fun

self-expression

(press Download to see details)

(or look at it as it is lol)

All my efforts into details are for naught with social media image compression wow

Anyways, I thought it was a good idea to draw in greyscale again because "Instead of having to flip a b&w filter on and off again all the time I can just DRAW in black and white, right? Makes things sO mUch eAsiER" pffhaha not

I spent hours on finding the right colors n stuff at the end, that was a fiesta

Also, meaning behind this:

Left side long haired, comfy style Jungkook before he cut his hair (still sad, don't touch me)

Right his short hair right now

Left side grayed out because it's in the past, vanishing, gone.

Welcomeee

And thanks for taking the step out of your comfort zone and sharing your pieces with others! I can't wait to see your improvement with time~

I'm not really good with words rn cuz I'm exhausted but since u asked for feedback I wanted to help? So I hope what I say doesn't come off too harshly

In general, it's hard to find a focus point in your signatures. There are easy ways to fix that tho and make them look a lot more pleasing to the eye!

A) try to guide the eyes a little with light and shadow! Since your pieces are generally either dark or light and don't really play with contrast, it's difficult to know what is supposed to stand out.

I think you did better in #2 than in the other pieces but if you had put a little more accent to the already bright left side of his, that would work really well as an eye catcher! Especially since the blue bottle stands out with its color!

and that's how I get to point B) color contrast!

It's 1) about which colors you use, of course you want to get a certain mood or atmosphere in your piece, and keeping it mostly in one color helps with that, but that's it. MOSTLY. Not completely

The last one for example does fairly well with her brightly colored scarf that catches the eye because everything else is kept in that white/sepia tone

And 2) it's about the saturation of colors. If you keep the thing you want to guide the eye to fairly saturated while the rest is less saturated or even almost grayish, that's 100% going to work!

I, myself, am not a "professional" at this, I only did this kinda stuff for a short period of time years ago. But paintings and signatures kinda work similarly when it comes to atmosphere I guess? I hope

anyways, I took the second one of you and worked on it for abt 10mins to show you roughly how I meant the stuff I said? It's not great but it should do its work, I hope it helps. I'm sorry if you didn't want me to edit your pieces .-.
