Ever had that experience where in they'll compliment your art afterwards there's a request follow up?

Like...

"Wow. Your art is amazing!"
Then...
"Can you draw me a..."
"That looks awesome!"
"Please draw my OC..."
"I like your art so can you...?"

YEAH. THOSE.

Then they'll use it as a profile picture for half a day then bam!

Heck.

And if I would decline the request I sure bet that there's a part of those people who'll call me selfish.

Well... SHit. I'm sorry. I'm busy myself and IDK what to do with my life cause my sched's all messed up and deadlines are coming. I have collaborations. Fanfictions and etc which are all on-hold cause hecc being a 4th year archi student is hard. AnD WHEn YoU HavE tO DeAL wiTH PeRsoNaL And FamiLy ShiTS.

I don't even know where I'll put my ME-Time.

Heccc.IT TAKES TIME FOR ME TO FINISH SHITS. AnD YoU JuST USE tHaT FoR LiKE 30 MiNUtEs?!

AND THOSE RELATIVES ASKING FOR PLANS, PERSPECTIVES AND OTHER DESIGNS FOR FREE AND EVEN DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS, ARTS, ETC. I DON'T SPEND ELECTRICITY, MONEY FOR SCHOOL, TIME, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND ETC JUST TO MAKE THINGS FOR FREE AT LEAST GIVE ME A BIT OF SOME SORT OF PAYMENT. OR AT LEAST PAY THE MATERIALS I USED TO MAKE THAT THING.

AHH.

I'M STOPPING THE REQUESTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

I HAVEN'T EVEN OPENED IT AND PEOPLE ARE ASKING. T n T *




So now... AM I A BAD GUY?

Tssssk.

No worries for those peeps in the pics. I censored shiz. (Lol. You guys won't probably see shiz cause u oNLy cheCK FB NoT MeDIBanG. HuRRaY!)

P.S. If you are offended then...

You are offended. T - T

Before judging... Try switching places with me or at least try to imagine my situation.

Well... Idk. This is probably because of my period coming or stress.

I'll probably be ok after a few minutes. I just had to get things out.

Have a nice dayyy. :>

hey everyone!!
so recently i've been thinking of drawing everyday to help inprove my art. i decided to draw everything with pen because theyre meant to just be sketches to help my style, etc.
over a week ago i started.. and basically it was just some lame stuff i could think of. i wasnt really motivated, drew some trees that were half-assed, looked like broccoli, and some other random stuff. i then thought-- "im not in the mood." and gave up (1st pic)
gradually it got better along the week.. i missed a day for drawing, whatever. still wasnt really motivated. i then thought this is dumb. why did i do this smh. drew people who werent even in my stories, just random stuff again. (2nd pic)
and so here we are now. after drawing todays sketches, which i only gave myself about half a page to draw on oof, i felt a bit better about myself. i drew a terrible girl idk that was just terrible. then drew some eyes and stuff, decided that this is how i wanna draw eyes, drew hisashi looking asian af as a kid and lucas being a kid as well. (3rd pic)
.
i had a much better plan when i thought about posting this--
.
anyways i just wanna say. im going to be posting my sketches every couple of days, and talking about it. the sketches are still pretty bad buttt whatever lol.
also, this feels pretty raw tbh. almost all of my personal art lately has been painting so putting out sketches feels weird because theyre kinda.. Ahem ugly lmfAO.
but i can't wait to see the improvement 😉
.
TIPS:
if you guys want to expand on your style, help yourself in art i recommend taking a set amount of time each day to just doodle and sketch. it really helps. instead of doing your bigger art projects you just settle and take a break and draw some stuff that looks like sh*t but it doesnt really matter because no one will really see it :) and you just have to allow yourself to not get frustrated if things dont turn out right.
sketching in pen is great when its just a sketch, i feel. if youre just doing fun stuff. with pencils you can erase, and nitpick at stuff that you dont like. oh, this looks terrible *erase* oh his eye is lopsided *erase* oh why did i draw his nose like this *erase*. I feel like at that point, youre not really sketching for fun, but more criticizing and perfecting your work, which is not needed.
drawing in pen can also help you see, and look back on what you need to improve on. with todays sketch i see that i need to work on drawing both the eyes. i was lazy and i didnt, using an excuse of winks or whatever. i also need to work on face shape.
if i had done this in a pencil i could of just easily erased and fixed it, and forgot about it. and it wouldve been a problem in my next drawing.
but now i remember for tomorrow's sketches; do both eyes. fix face shape.
.
.
thats all for today. hope this was helpful, if anyone even read it oops. have a good night :)

Another thing that i've been working on! that's Lucas, Eve, and Samael, from my story Irreversible Fate. It's a love/fantasy story ;)
Color credit goes to Fluffycat :)
I plan on painting it and stuff. ahem. Have a nice day!! ❤❤❤

should i be studying for exams?
definitely.
did i say i wasn't going to be posting and focusing on exams?
definitely.
am i studying and doing what im supposed to do?
definitely not.
.
i know i said i was going to be working on exams but i succumbed to my drawing urge lmao
im sure i have about 20+ unfinished drawings as i always do, and i seem to start up a new one everytime i get bored
which i do, but you know what?
that's okay lol
i'll finish them sometime--
anyways heres some painty stuff ive been working on :

a...
a--
Collab?

a...
a--
Collab?

I really want it. Ugh.

School is stressful alone. But add Family shit?

Fuck. I hate this.

And yes. No art uploads.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!
Not quite done yet, of course, but just wanted to show you guys a little WIP :P
Basically, up to the point I am now, I usually
1. Sketch it out. It doesn't have to be perfect or anything, but I usually use a light gray and basically get down the idea. This is actually a pretty clean sketch tbh, they're mainly much messier and chaotic.
2. Start painting out the values. Set the sketch to multiply and add a layer underneath, it's just putting down the 'base' colors. I add shadows along with the base. Grayscale is much more easier than using color when painting.
3. Start painting. Merge both of the layers together and go. At this point where I'm at, it's basically just blending everything out and adding a nice gradient from where my light source is. The light source is coming from the top right, so everything towards the light is lighter, farther is darker, obviously. You can see it more so on the crown, that's the main thing I finished painting first (not completely though, there's still stuff needed on the crown.). When doing this the lines of the sketch usually become thin or aren't there, and that's alright. After I finish painting everything, I'm going to take a brighter pen and highlight areas that are upraised, and then adding more depth to things that are shadowed. However, at the point I am at, it's still really messy and will be fixed later on.
I don't add color until after I'm done with the painting, but I wanted to color the eyes just because of this >.> I love Ayato's eyes lol.
If you guys want me to show the next steps until completion let me know! And if there's anything you want to say just comment :)
Thank you ~

SO
I literally just realized I can just get Medibang Paint Pro and draw on my laptop, since I don't have my drawing tablet.
So I got it, and...
.
It's super cool! Way better than the tablet version tbh.
If you have a computer, you should consider using it instead ;p
I didn't do much tonight, just trying it out and stuff. And since I need to find my mouse, I can't really do straight lines and such with my laptop touchpad.
But blending is easy! :D
.
.
.
And so I dedicate this WIP (that i've had for months but haven't got back to it) to you guys, because who doesn't love chests?
I'll also be starting to digitize the traditional stuff I was planning to post, because it'll look better. It'll still be a slow process because I have a ton of schoolwork to do, and even though finals are in like 5 weeks, I feel like they're slowly creeping up on me and draining the life out of me .-.
goodnight! :)
