WOOO

It will be Christmas for me tomorrow!
And it will be the same for Saero and that I think. There's also quite a few australians on this site now so they'll obviously have Christmas tomorrow-
I am SO excited, purely for all of the free-time I'll have! Honestly I've been waiting for so long- Working almost every day is so tiring. I'm glad the worst is over. It never felt like Christmas, but now it does! I think it's the food I had tonight that felt like Christmas.. hmm-
So yeah, Merry Christmas to everyone whether it's tomorrow or the day after!

SPREAD this around!
Please save Sae and her family! Sae has done NOTHING but love for us. Sae is absolutely passionate in everything she does. Yet this happens?!
Sae has been talking about this for a while.. So please, spread it around. I think it would be good if WE spread it in other areas, because it would make Sae seem more trustworthy if others are considering to donate.
I wish Sae all the luck in the world! Stay strong.

Art Ideas VOTE!

I have MANY things I want to try and do, I have TOO MANY!
And I... I cannot choose...
I cannot decide what I want to draw and I'm slipping into frustration by this point-
So I'm putting it on the hands of you guys, the internet, because you guys are responsible and smart and safe. And I always follow the advice to listen to everything a stranger says on the internet because they are correct on all levels.

Here's the ideas to vote on! (They will be numbered)

1. Draw Zodiac Signs as People
2. Make more characters (AND GIVE MUNA A REFERENCE...)
3. More art studies/photo studies
4. Draw art prompts given by you guys
5. Draw My Little Pony as people in my style (You judging?)
6. Draw Video Game Art (fanart)
7. Redraw your guys's drawings
8. Redraw my own old art

As a frustrated artist I ask for a vote!
I will of course upload normal illustrations too, but these are just SOME of the ideas I've been wanting to do over the past 2 years. But which one first..?

Read more

  • It would be cool to see you redraw your own art :D Either that or Video Game fanart

  • I’d like to see you draw the my little pony characters!

  • Zodiac signs :D

Ok because as I was looking through my layers on this ALMOST forbidden drawing, I removed all the colour layers and OHHHH!
Lineart..
Clean lineart at that..
c o l o r
c h a l l e n g e...
AMAZING MUNA! AMAZING IDEA!
You can do Roxy's original colours if you'd like! Or you can make her a whole new colour pallete!
You can also try shading her, playing around with lights and stuffs! Then I'll STEAL IT AS MY OWN- jkjkjk
If you do decide to do this, post it with the tag MunaColour
I made all of this up in the span of 2 minutes =>
NOW SCOOT! RUN! GO DO IT NOWWW-
(And yes this is a transparent background yw)

  • But actually it might be a little bit cause my friend's bday is coming up really soon and I want to finish my drawing for her first 🙃

  • IM GONNA DO THIS NOW- B)

  • > DrawingCat.🅱️ruh Oh awesome! It's just a challenge, but I'm so excited to see your submission! >=D

  • I think I’ll join this competition! I’ll try to get it done by the middle of December!

Fellow artists aid me!

I need a character in a plain setting (no dramatic lighting) so that I can test out colour palettes for artschool!
I tested some out on Jinx but eh.. She has lots of dark values that make the colours look weird..
So if you have full body characters, send them through because I've got none atm besides Jinx because I copied from her fullbody reference.

I wont be telling others that your characters are mine or anything of the sort when I change the colours, I just need permission to practice on other's characters and post it maybe as a topic (credited).

To artists.

You
you are very special =>




Whenever you feel small, and/or useless, or not important, just know that you see ordinary things in a different way. Just know that you are a very special type of human who sees beauty in the ordinary.
EVERYTHING you make is not a "copy", even if you TRY to copy. We all are unique, and it's really amazing to see everyone's creativity on here.
Isnt it amazing that we can create ANYTHING? Anything at all? Every line can be placed ANYWHERE.
And art just GETS to people. People FEEL when they see our creations. And we can draw ANYTHING, we can make people feel EVERY single emotion.
It's hard though, because obviously we haven't seen everything, so everything unimaginable is just a mess to us. Plus it IS pretty hard to create something earth has never seen before- But we practically can do it.
You're not only special in that way, but your life experiences and your emotions, your DEPTH of character, you are magnificent =>

Wish I could say more but I need to go to work soon-

  • > Ch0ng Aww no worries! <33 I'm glad this made your day! Oh yes- When AI creates something, there's no STORY behind anything, there's no sense either. Logic gets thrown out the window- That's why concept artists are PEOPLE XD-

What in the world is Neppuri??

hUH?
All I see when I click on it is drawings.. and weird anime girl pictures (irl) with some value of currency at the bottom??

  • > Reiilley It's so weird! There's normal Medibang, but then there's Neppuri, but I think it's for selling prints? That's what makes more sense to me!

  • T_T me too I thought it was a sovial media where people can post their drawings and all but after posting a drawing that I made I go to see for other people do and there just a bunch of japanese girls evrywhere XDDD I'll keep posting drawings there AHAHA imagine people scrolling to simp girl and all but he see one deviant posting drawings x)

Pull the lever, Kronk..

WRONG LEVERRR-
Okay but which character should I copy and draw..
The Vi lever,
Jinx lever,
or the Delilah lever?
This is for my artschool assignment by the way! But I am stuck between these characters ;w;
I am already copying a Jinx portrait just for fun, but I also am interested in drawing her FULL character! There'll just be a lot of Jinx art in my profile-
But there is Vi, who's similar, so I've added her so then it's not all about Jinx.
And there's Delilah from one of the games I've played! Dishonored 2.

Comment 1 for Jinx, 2 for Vi, and 3 for Delilah. These are the options!
Also.. not sure why I did the lever meme for this one-

MunaFavouritism Award goes to...

Keeps Ache!
https://medibang.com/u/KeepsAche/

I absolutely LOVE the colours! They are so vibrant and they pop! I think they chose the colours very well!
If they did a comic in this style, it would be MINDBLOWING-
I also am in LOVE with the poses! I can never do poses well ;w; They take FOREVER to get right! So I find it so impressive when someone makes such cool poses like these!
The character itself is REALLY cute too!! They do such awesome designs >=3
AMAZING background too! I love that the background is darker, so it's easier to see the character. A lot of the time, both the background and the character blend in, because they both have the same saturation or brightness. Loved how you kept this in mind while making this vibrant illustration!

Absolutely AWESOME work Keeps Ache! If you havent supported them yet, GO DO IT!

  • > Muna Sketches thanks a lot and a ton anyway !! ^♡^/

3D Siren!

In BLENDER!
It's a tad low quality, but my computer crashed whenever I tried to subdivide the torso- So the head is the ONLY good quality part- It's alright though, this was just an assignment.
This is the 2nd sculpt I've made! I made a donut before, and I tried to sculpt a siren without a tutorial, but I did get some tips off of Youtube.
I might do a paint over of this? Not sure..
Also my mum said that this dude looks like he's on steriods- PFFT-
FIRST OF ALL, NOT A DUDE, MKAY?
SECOND, I LIKE MUSCLES, AND THEY ARE FUN TO MAKEEE-

The DazzlingArtz Certificate goes to...

Ephixa!
https://medibang.com/picture/if2310230400320130023851223/

I'm just gonna keep making up award names until I find the right one-
What should it be called? The MunaFavouritism Award? pFTT-

ANYWAYS- In the last 3 days, of all the art I've looked at... This.. is the one..
In my opinion ahHA-
It was actually really hard to choose QvQ Everybody makes dazzling pieces XD-
But I decided that Ephixa should get a pat on the back for all their hard work!
PLUS, this was my favourite art piece XD-
I LOVE the landscape she painted! It's rendered beautifully, and the colours look lovely! I really like the reflection in the water, such gorgeous work!
And the character by EndyEnder looks so ELEGANT! The flowy hair does the trick hehe-
Really love the work you've done Ephixa! Keep it UP!

  • > Ephixa My mum is the same thing XD- I do have a youtube channel though! But everything else, nuh UH I hope that you get to post some speedpaints though! I'd LOVE to see them!

  • > Muna Sketches I would post the process to yt But my mom isn’t sure about it yet xd

  • > Ephixa You're welcomee! You're making the art that I always try to do, but fail- XD

  • OMG THANK YOU 😭😭 I’m very flattered qwq

Do you think it's a good idea to

make a topic every 2 days or every week on my favourite art posts?
For example, let's say that at the end of one week, I decide that Ephixa's drawing is my fav of that week.
I'll post a topic, and I will explain why I really like Ephixa's post!
Will this motivate others more? I just came up with this a minute ago- So I need other brains to decide if I should do that. Because I wanna motivate YOU guys, so you make the choice!

I'll try and choose different people as well, so it's not just one REALLY REALLY good artist every time. I also might give feedback so that it's helpful!
The big question is.. How often do I pick a favourite drawing? Every 3 days? Every week? I'm unsure..

  • That'd be pretty cool :D

  • Especially if you point out what you like about it

  • I like that idea

  • > 𝙏𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞💞 It's alright if you dont wanna be involved! Just know that EVERY artwork of yours is fire and will always make my jaw drop XD-

Things you need to know

I'm very sorry that I've not posted for WEEKS, but today was one of my last posts before I go away for sometime.. like.. a kinda long time- I will still be here for a couple of days except for tomorrow.
Kebinox I am still working hard on your request! Gonna try and get as much progress done before I go. I have finished Kkcool's request a while ago, I wanted to post everybody's request around the same time so that they all feel equal, but I may as well just post Kkcool's before I leave. I will do that in a couple of days!

I'm trying to spread out my posting, like.. posting once a week so then my engagement improves, because I'm a bit of a dead artist even though I'm drawing SO much-
I really wish I can be as.. popular as I was last year. But hey, this year I was just kind of learning art more than actually doing full-fledged art. Sometimes you just have years like that. I hope next year I'll be better..
I cannot be mad at the fact that I'm getting significantly less likes and views and whatnot. I mean, I just can't draw fast enough! Most of this is on me since I'm not posting once a week.
I did tell myself that I can focus on learning, and since I've got a job and I'm working on my physical weaknesses, I haven't been creating much for you guys, or for me either. But it still makes me feel like I haven't progressed when my art gets less noticed. Can't escape the social media aspect of art can you?

Maybe stress is making me feel this way.. Almost like everything is a grind for me atm. I have many different parts of my life that I do, and they are ALL at the grinding stage XD- Sounds funny.

W.I.P for Keb

Does this look a bit better?
Tell me what else to fix! I wanna get this right XD
This is one of those moments in art where you are just stuck with a specific problem that takes forever to figure out-

  • > Muna Sketches Can't wait till I'm able to set the finished piece as a cool bg or smth!

  • > Kebby Awesome! And yes I do remember your other tips. I'll have that topic open for me to read during this process!

  • Oh yes that face type is perfect! I love it, look at dem thicc eyebrows boi, gorgeous <3 Hopefully you remember everything else I said that needed fixing on the last one

W.I.P for keb

This is Keb's request that I am doing.
Kkcool, your request is almost done! I've been so slow lately ;v;
Please point out any thing that needs improving! This is not rendered yet, I need to resketch the face I think..

  • > Muna Sketches Yw :D

  • > Kebby I'll add the teeth in as well. Thank you so much for telling me the characteristics of him! This will definitely help me go in the right direction XD

  • > Muna Sketches Oh good, I know he's on the slimmer side so I feel like he may have a little bit of a pointed chin Also his teeth, I know it's a wip but he does have pointy ones

25 Art tips

that I've learned from binge-watching dozens of art content >=3

And also this gives me the excuse to write things down so I can remember them-
I will add some of my practices here that are examples for some of the tips I'm talking about.

1. Stay in your comfort zone (MOSTLY). Too much challenge burns you out.
2. Practice from real life often. This helps you understand how to simplify things to your liking.
3. OBSERVE. Observe real life, observe references, observe other artists. USE YOUR EYES!
4. Do personal art studies and copy from your favourite artists (Don't post your studies as your own art).
5. And copy from like.. 10 artists. Pick and choose little characteristics of their artstyles
6. Have a CLEAR, step by step process that you do. I need to work on this one.
7. If you are always frustrated doing art, stop when you have fun. This will leave you feeling like you left your work in a good mood, and not in a bad, frustrated mood. It tricks your brain into liking to make art.
8. Look back at your old work. You've come so far, don't give up!
9. Follow the LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL rule. Draw large details first, then medium details, then small details. This applies for sketching, doing line art, and painting.
10. When shading, think of everything as VOLUMES. Cubes, spheres, cylinders. Your knee is a misshapen sphere, your torso is a misshapen cylinder. Your legs are cylinders. Your hand is a cube. Refine refine!
11. Make your shadows REDDER, or BLUER, than the base colour. For the skin, do a redder shadow. NOT BLACK. Only shade with black if you're going to colour it. (Or if you're doing grayscale)
12. Make the focal point brighter and/or more saturated. For example, make the face brighter. This will bring your eyes to the important area!
13. Have EMPTY SPACE in your drawings. Not every part of the illustration has to be chaotic.
14. Less is more. Simple is lovely looking. This is a good tip for artists who feel stressed about their details.
15. And stop drawing SO MANY SMALL DETAILS! Who will look there? Not many! Only detail your focal point. Their nail doesn't need to look ultra-realistic!
16. Zoom out more, or paint with a bigger brush. This is good for sketching and painting. It's easy to get stuck on details.
17. Occasionally, draw in your comfort zone and let loose. Have fun, relax, and be a happy artist!
18. Do gesture drawing. Set a timer for 30 seconds, get a pose online, and draw it. This will help you with your flow in your poses!
19. Draw volumes. Sketch spheres, cubes, cylinders, sphere merged into a cylinder, and other variants! Shade them if you'd like.
20. Draw with your whole arm, not with your wrist. Don't want wrist problems do ya?
21. Have contrasting values. Make sure you have a good range of values in your art! A good way to see this is to put a Colour Blending Mode layer over the top of everything, and make the canvas white on that layer. Your drawing will look grayscale until you hide that Colour layer.
22. Have better back posture. Don't slouch too much!
23. Don't practice every day. And don't draw too much.
24. Participate in contests and challenges that you feel confident to do!
25. Finally, have art friends! Have MOTIVATING art friends. You become who you're around with.

Requests are open! (3 slots)

I am ready for some requests! I've got the time and motivation so I'd best do this now XD-
Here's some things you SHOULD know:
- It will just be a plain background.
- It wont be full body, at most just below the hips.
- I can do animals and humans!
- Animals may take longer.
- Expect the artwork to take a week or longer to get finished.

Remember, I will only take 3!
I will pick and choose, just based off if I'm comfortable drawing the character =>
Any questions? Just ask them right here!
