Not the neck! It's my ticket out of Suburbia!

it's still a bit embarrassing to admit, but i've never really gotten my hands on any academic resourses. Everything learned from observing and hitting things with a rock ooga booga (that's why i'm very cautious in giving art advises)

i remember discovering BaM Animation channel first, with pro animators sharing tips and tricks. Love this video in particular, it's just a great cheat sheet

Harry Gold Show is my absolute fav too, i watched him mostly for improving artstyles imitation. Not exactly a tutorial material, but covers the basics.

My main research subject are still the shows which use shapes in their artstyle heavily, like Cartoon Saloon movies or classic CN shows. Character sheets and concepts used in production are full of cool referense material. One good man tossed me a whole site to explore.

I like how these two looks next to each other, in color and composition! Might do that again.

The name of the first fellow is Behemot and it's based on William Blake's illustration (look under). Second fellow, a bull, I just like him🤓

Their old user name was ASHIE-BABY their current handle is ruthlessxmean but instagram and twitter are deleted, they deleted most of their art from this era, I only found art from a random pintrest user (they pinned them) and a toyhouse that Friday (their main character) is missing from. The only characters that are available to see are sold.

For context, I have STRUGGLED so much tryna draw this motherfucker. FOR MONTHS, i tried and it looked like shit. But, Lolita fashion...it somehow clicked with me. So, thank you lolita girls in Japan. You made this possible.

btw the gamer outfit was inspired by one of my figures I got.
