Your afternoon stroll in the woods seems to take an ugly turn as you decide to follow the noises beyond the thicket. It was a loud coughing, the strain on their voice painful to listen to. No doubt even more painful for the one choking on their own breath. Whether it is out of curiosity or an incentive to help quell the suffering you trod off the paved path and in through the overgrowth.
As you peer through your attention is immediately caught by a figure sticking out of all the earthy greens and grounds. A matted white, moist red patches scattered across the body. It is obvious they were the cause of all that ruckus, though they have fallen silent now. They don’t seem to be aware of your presence either…
(( Yeah I won't be using this blog anymore. If I'm really up to it in the future I could always come back and open up for a few asks but for now I'm not concerning myself with this blog. ))
((From now on Liria and Cuervo will be a part of the @occasionalforcesofnature blog as minor characters. You’ll see them around every now and then. They won’t be available for any direct interactions (at least not as much to outshine the main cast). You can ask the kami about them though.
In other news I will be logging out of this account, so if you’re looking for the mod you can find me at my main blog @floofangel, or at @occasionalforcesofnature. I also have a new blog, @ask-an-absol which will serve as my new main pokemon blog. ))
(Thank you so much!! It means a lot that I can interact with others :'D ask--valentine) The large Absol lumbered up to Paloma, speaking in a quiet, gentle tone, "Is it not best to make amends?" he questioned, eyeing her, "If you are afraid to go near your brother, I would be willing to help... Lest you truely do not have genuine sorrow for hurting him so."
“It is he who would scurry off before I could get a word out! He’s just angrier at me because I reminded him of his own screw up!“
“I know exactly what to do! Brilliant, Paloma! Brilliant! It will solve his problem AND mine! Two birds with one stone, yes!”
(@occasional-shiny-weavile) sire cuvero I heard about everything that happened! Are you alright?! Is your sneasel friend uninjured?! If you need me to I can find the one who did this and take care of them personally! No ones going to get away with hurting sir cuvero on my watch!
Riku@Liria; "oh cool egg!" He says bouncing over to Liria. "It's big and colorful. It maybe has a baby Pokemon in it too. Oh, my name's Riku by thr way, my Boss sent me over here saying I could make a new friend if I did." He says smiling and wagging his tail.
-> P R A C T I C E. And once you’re done practicing, practice some more. No seriously, that’s most of what there is to it XD Try to draw at least one thing every day (or almost every day).
-> Don’t be afraid to draw from references. If you’re drawing a rabbit, pull up a bunch of rabbit pictures. Study your subject matter and apply what you learn from those images into your own work.
-> Look at other people’s art! Look at contemporary artists, or even the old masters from way back then. Maybe you like this artist’s coloring style and you want to try something like that in your own art, or their way of interpreting anatomy really calls to you. Don’t be afraid to mix and match all those details into your own style.
-> Keep in mind that nothing is completely original. Every artist’s style is basically an amalgamate of other artist’s styles. Even Michelangelo did it. Every renaissance artist was looking at the work of both ancient and contemporary artists to produce the masterpieces we know and love today.
-> Follow the holy commandments of the artists.Thou shalt not steal art, and though shalt honor thy fellow artists. Basically don’t be a d-bag. Don’t make fun of someone for their art or claim something you didn’t make as your own.
-> Don’t be too hard on yourself. Art is an emotionally tasking thing. You’re going to feel drained sometimes and there will be days were you’ll feel extremely insecure about your art. Just know that it is completely normal to feel that way. Every artists goes through this, you just have to learn how to take care of yourself in those moments and keep on moving forward. Drink plenty of water, get some rest, have fun! Eventually you’ll rise back to the top and you’re going to feel proud of what you’ve accomplished.
(( Practice my friend, practice. I’ve been drawing all my life. Like any other kid I too drew crude stick figures and thought myself Picasso as I repainted the walls of my house in all my childish glory lol. Then at one point in my life I decided to not let my pencil down and take drawing a little more seriously.
I have also supplemented myself with actual art classes, but that was way later in my life when I got into art college. But the gist of my ability is mostly practice. I draw almost every day to keep myself sharp, and plain just because I love drawing.
Fun fact: I still remember one day when I was a kid that I was thinking of what my job would be, and artist came to mind but I immediately dismissed it because I knew nothing about art and it looked hard to learn. Little did tiny me know that in the future I would be slaving over at art college :’’D ))
