FAQ
hi iām teddy and i like to draw! sometimes! i used to be all about haikyuu and it still has all of my heart, but nowadays iām far more active in the bts fandom

that depends! iām not absolutely against reposts, but i need you to ask me personally first to tell me where youād be posting it, and to please give credit when you do repost. i generally donāt allow reposts on instagram though. i hope you understand! <3
can i buy prints of your art/do you take commissions?
iām flattered youāre asking at all, thank you!! but if itās about fanart then i have to say no. the characters i draw donāt belong to me, and while itās a bit of a gray area in legal terms, for now iām choosing not to sell any of my fanart. iām sorry :( i might be opening general commissions eventually, but iād post about it both on tumblr and twitter!
which tablet/software do you use?
a medium wacom intuos p&t and photoshop cs6
can I use your art as my icon? what about phone backgrounds etc.?
yep, you can crop my drawings to use as icons/banners/etc. on whichever site you want, if you credit me! (but please don't edit the drawing itself)
can I write fic based on your art/tweets?
yes, iād be elated if you did! (unless the drawing in question is already related to a fic or something similar, then please donāt)
do you have other places where you upload your drawings?
i upload art here on tumblr and on twitter!
what the heckening darn is that thing you draw in your replies
itāsā¦ā¦aā¦bearā¦teddy bearā¦thingā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦at least it used to be but ???? now itās just a rugby ball with fur and googly eyes that has a lot of love and gratitude to give
Hi Teddy! I'm on mobile and I can't access your faq somehow...I don't know if that's a Tumblr thing or not. But anyway, I was just wondering what fandoms you're in atm.
oh! hm, thatās odd :( i never use tumblr on mobile personally so iām not familiar with the interface there, butĀ thisĀ is the direct link to the faq, if thatās any help?
as for fandoms, i move around almost exclusively in the kpop sphere right now, with a focus on bts! (most of you came here during my anime time, but iāve been into kpop for even longer haha) i havenāt had much time to keep up with anything else in a while, but i watched stranger things about half a year ago, and iām excited to see what season 3 is gonna bring! also reaaally want to check out steven universe some time soon, it seems like such a great wholesome show.
(i still adore haikyuu and iām forever thankful for everything it brought me, but itās been a While since iāve been in touch with that fandom or got to catch up with the official content, so itās kinda off my radar right now!)
hello! i recently stumbled across a picture ? of a rectangle brush you shared on twitter post /977525173518848000. i was wondering if you might be able to share the brush or make a tutorial on how to make it? i know the link had instructions but i don't think i've been following them correctly T_T sorry if its too much trouble and thank you! (also your art is awesome btw!)
(for anyone wondering, this is the post in question)
hey there! :D i personally use photoshop cs6 so if you have a different version it might work slightly differently, but this is the general process:Ā
open a new, empty canvas
draw the brush shape that you wantĀ
go to edit -> define brush presetĀ (and enter a name if you feel like it)
and you have the new brush! it shows up as a new addition at the end of the list of brushes you have
in the brush settings panel you can now adjust the settings as needed
remember though! if you change the settings of your brush you need to save it again as a new brush preset to keep them, you can find that in the top right corner of the brush settings panel in the drop down menuĀ
things to note when you draw your brush shape:
black = 100% opacity
white = transparent
keep in mind the brush size will be the size of your drawn shape, e.g. if you fill up a 500 x 500 px canvas the standard size of your brush will be 500 px
but you can still downscale (or upscale, but then itāll get fuzzy) the brush like any other brush of course
basically you can even open a colourful photo and turn it into a brush. photoshop would just take the grayscale valuesĀ
here i filled a 30 x 30 px canvas with black and defined the brush preset. this is what the brushstroke looks like right now, with these automatic settings
the brush stroke there isnāt smooth at all, so i changed the brush tip spacing to 1% and turned on shape dynamics + transfer (with the settings not mentioned in the image still off/set to default):
basically now you can just fiddle with the settings until you have something you like! for example here i turned on a bunch of additional settings, flattened the brush and changed the angle, so it looks like this:
i hope that clears things up a bit!! and thank you for liking my art aaa <3
thanks for all the jams hobi āØ

āItās not even,ā Kuroo says, then pauses. Kenma looks up from his own phone to verify if he is just doing that Drunk Kuroo thing where he pauses for no reason at all between sentences apart from the one where he thinks it adds dramatic effect. (He is, and it does not.) 'Not even midnight, Koutarou. You are soā¦fuckingā¦dense.ā
'Not anymore than you, darling,ā Bokuto snaps. 'Fuckinā shithead fucking. Hair.ā
'Hair,ā Kuroo repeats in an arrogant, amused drawl. 'Thatāsā¦all youāve got. Hair.ā

Hello there; I've been looking through your blog and, as many others say, I just ADORE your art! I was also wondering if you could give me some advice. For quite a few months now I've utterly lost all motivation to draw. I want to go into something with art, so this devastates me, and whenever I try to draw I just get so easily frustrated. I've been an avid artist since I can remember, so for me to suddenly not want to draw for months on end really concerns me. Any suggestions to fix this?
(hi!! apologies for the late reply. i hope this can still be of some help to you despite that!)
i think thatās a feeling every artist struggles with at some point. you love art, you love makingĀ art, and itās immensely frustrating when that suddenly doesnāt work out despite all the effort youāve been putting in. and then you start to lose motivation, question yourself and everything youāre doing, and itās a vicious cycle thatās really hard to break out of. so what can we do?
well, hereās a thing. letās call it the productivity branch.
i feel like my own creative cycles are very seasonal. not in the sense that my creativity depends on the season, but rather that my creativity itself goes through different seasons.
spring: new ideas, motivation, productivity still lowĀ
summer: lots of ideas and very productive
autumn: still productive drawing leftover ideas, but new ideas are harder to come by.Ā and thenĀ
winter:Ā nothing. art-block. lack of ideas, everything-sucks-syndrome, no motivation, the creative part of my brain is basically hibernating
thatās you up there. youāre in a creative winter right now. and without any inspiration or motivation itāll be hard to find a way to cross that gap over to a new spring (pls bear with the cheesy analogies). and if your cut yourself off from inspirational influence you might start to think that, hey, this isnāt so bad.Ā i mean, who needs spring right? just means you have to do things. be active. yikes. winterās pretty chill. haha.Ā
but donāt do that. itāll come around and bite you at some point, because that lack of motivation and activity might start to seep into other parts of your life, not just the creative one, and you donāt want that.
so! when you donāt have ideas and motivation to create, then donāt create. but instead make an effort to inspire yourself. inspiration entails motivation (and vice versa).
read books, short stories, poems, science articles, anything
go on walks, explore your surroundings, if affordable maybe even go somewhere farther away
let people tell you stories
listen to new music
try things you havenāt done before (deliberately break old habits)
go through other peopleās inspiration blogs
collaborate with a friend
get really invested in something, talk to others about it
watch movies, animated shorts, documentariesĀ
or speedpaintings and art tutorials
try different techniques, or new brushes
look at art thatās so inspiring that you canāt believe youāre still just sitting there notĀ drawing anything yourself
and most importantly, be receptive. take in the world around you, rearrange it in your head, and draw whatever you end up with. thatās the core of what creativity is
think about what you want to achieve. make your friends smile? draw something really cool you can print out and hang up in your room? touch peopleās hearts? deliver a message? whatever it is, and however small or inconsequential it might seem, keep it in mind. itās your light at the end of the tunnel.
if want to keep drawing for the sake of muscle memory while youāre still looking for your inspiration:Ā
illustrate your daily activities
draw a random shape or find one in a photo (clouds are ideal for this) and turn it into a character or object
pick different pictures and combine elements from each of them into one drawing
do plain olā studiesĀ
basically donāt try to come up with things completely from scratch. find something to work with and go from there. that will save you the mentally draining task of coming up with a subject, so you can start actively drawing right away
if you still canāt make yourself pick up a pen, make a schedule. train your brain to turn its creative gears at a specific time of the day, make that a habit. do it for pavlov
approach drawing with the awareness that what you create might suck, especially when youāre out of practice, but this doesnāt mean that it will always suck, and it doesnāt mean youĀ suck. if you learn to dissociate your current creative achievements from your worth as a person and your future potential you will get back to work a lot easier, improve faster, and be more resistant to setbacks.Ā
find something that makes it worth the effort ofĀ working through the frustration.Ā
you might need to try a lot of different things because everyone copes with this differently, and even when a method worked once that doesnāt mean it always will. so start trying! you can only find inspiration if you start looking for it. š
12.5 (long before rockĀ ānā roll) [bokuto/kuroo]
He looks tired, but not exhausted. The shadows under his eyes are no news, nor is his apocalyptic hair. Koutarou wants to reach out and run his fingers through it, but heās wanted all sorts of ridiculous shit for no reason at allā thereās no need to want it when heās always had it, so he doesnāt know why he still wants it. He doesnāt want to know why.
āHi,ā Kuroo says.
'Iām going to show you.ā
