I don’t usually do posts like this, but my friend is having a lot happening at once in their life at the moment and to have your pet suffer when your situation is already difficult is like a metaphorical cherry on top of a pile of crappy life events. They could use all the help they could get right now.
If you could please check it out or at least give it a reblog i’d appreciate it tons.
toon me art challenge u.u
Self portrait. Done while slightly tipsy.
2020 has just started and I wanted to let you know that you are an amazing writer with lots of creativity, whether it's in the characters you make, the plots you write or the art you draw. Here's to another year of seeing you grow. Happy new year!
I rarely ever get asks on my main blog, so i appreciate the hell out of this ask! It’s really nice to know that there are people out there who enjoy the stuff i spew out. Tumblr, at first, wasn’t much more than some weird creative outlet from where i would take satisfaction out of the increasing numbers of likes/reblogs on my posts, but honestly i feel like i’ve built some really nice internet friendships with people and joined some really wholesome communities! So if you appreciate what i write and what i draw, you’re actually just praising the awesome people that accepted me and welcomed me as a friend too, and stimulate me each day to make kewl stuff and share it with online.
I hope 2020 will be an awesome year for you too anon! Thanks for spreading the positivity! ^^
Do you happen to have any tips for drawing horns?
Hi, Anon! I’ll definitely try my best. Horns are a little tricky since they’re so subjective and the styles/textures vary so drastically.
Mostly I’m going to be talking about texture here and I’ll try to keep it simple since they’re time consuming to draw.
Smooth horns are great and easy, can come in any and all shapes, but if you want to add more interest and character to the horns, it all comes down to how you texture them. Here’s a simple smooth horn. It’s okay, it’s basic, but it works and will especially work better once it’s colored if it has a sheen or a matte look.
You can add simple lines to it to give it a bit more interest, but you can take it farther than just the cylinder look like drawn here. The lines give it the easy, quick illusion of being more dimensional, but it’s not the most interesting or dynamic.
You can play with the lines however you like to give the horns more uniqueness, such as a line down the center to sort of pinch it inwards. Still more dynamic than the smooth horn, but more interesting than the rounded one.
You can leave the lines as they are for an easier horn, or take it a step farther and use them as guides to texture them. This is where it gets fun, but time consuming. Definitely look up references of what you want to go for if you’re not sure. I highly recommend Ram, Ibex or Antelope references, Antelope being my favorite. They have so much texture to them in the forum of smaller and larger ridges, so here’s a horn based loosely (artistic liberties taken) off a mix of Ram and Antelope.
Getting into plates which are my favorite, there’s little to reference off of. Here’s a more dynamic, spiky look with plates using the guide lines as a base to get an ideal direction you want the horn to shape into.
Just take your guide lines and then extend outward. Add as little or as much wear, tear and damage as you want. Horns can get dry and crack, they can take a hit and break, age can cause grooves, your imagination’s the limit.
Outside of plates, you can look up any horned animal to get ideas for texture, anything from steer to deer and elk (if you want to get more into the antlered look), or mix and match textures from a few horn styles you like. Hope this helps! Sorry I can’t go more in depth, but I tried to explain it as best as I know how. Good luck with your horns!
Gonna take my OC and shove her into the 80s so she can be even more of a glam trashbag than she already is.
actualy that sleep dinosaur I posted earlier was a lie, a foul lie, i am sorry. here is an actual true dinosaur of me. i am foolish.
// lol idk... I don’t have an art blog, but I wanted to share some of my different attempts of adding color somewhere. So... sorry you’re forced to be subjected to it.
If you didn’t know I typically only know how to draw women and children. I’m lacking in the manly man department when it comes to drawing, lmao..
My lame attempt to draw Shota Aizawa (aka Eraser Head) as a small gift for @darth-salem-emperor-of-earth for their continued support. Salem is like… the most supportive person ever and I wanted to draw them something… and we’re talking about BNHA a lot lately… so I hope this little picture (where I tried a new pen setting and experimented a bit) can bring a smile to their face :D
Also… Eraser Head is awesome ♥
⚠️⚠️EXTREMELY BAD UPDATE⚠️⚠️
Guys we now facing being entirely back on the streets again. The friend that was letting us stay at his house has been given a house inspection for the 1st, and the reason for this is he is suspected of having people staying at his flat (which he is. It’s a single tenancy appartment and having four people staying here is violating his tenancy agreement which means he has to make us leave, otherwise he’s facing the same situation himself). We need to get out of here and into a safe place ASAP. We currently have £10 to our name which we need to buy some food with, and no other options. Please. If you can spare anything to get us out of here and somewhere safe, it will literally cost us so so much pain. We need to gather as much cash as possible. My donation links are open, so are my commissions, adopts and ych’s, my PayPal is misskeiraphillips@gmail.com and my kofi is in my bio. Please, if you can help it would mean a huge deal to us.
