(Sempai teach me how to draw hot men! :D These two are damn fine!-that way I could draw more naughty stuff hehehe)
[[ Iām hardly good enough to be anyoneās senpai ^_^;, but Iām glad that you think that theyāre hot. XD I guess it helps to have sexy subject material to depict, the work practically does itself. >_> Wow, that sounds kinda wrong, especially in this context. XD Totally unintended I swear! :O
On a more serious note, the most important thing that I can offer is to not be afraid to use references. I donāt feel that Iām good enough to warrant any sort of authority on giving art advice of any kind, but I feel ok talking about this because Iām repeating the words of super great practicing professional artists who really stress this point. Using references is nothing to be ashamed of, because none of us are born knowing how to draw something exactly the way that it looks. While enough practice means that we wonāt be as reliant on references, there will always be something that we wonāt know how to draw, but our guide is right there all around us. I used to think thatĀ āno references usedā was something to brag about when it comes to a piece of art, but I learned that this can actually be detrimental. For instance, I see a lot of fellow artists-in-training that take offense when someone suggests that they use references (because quite frankly, they really need it >_>), and thatās the kind of mentality to stay away from because it just hurts us in the long term.
The other thing that I donāt think would be presumptuous of me to offer is the importance of drawing what you love. Heck, this is true for more than just art, a person is a lot more likely to succeed at doing something they love. For a long time, I was ashamed of the kind of things I like to draw, and still am to no small degree. I wish that what I enjoy drawing isnāt so...Ā ātinglyā, to put it lightly, but it canāt be helped. I wish that I enjoyed drawing women more, since I have trouble depicting beautiful or Ā compelling women. I wish I was into drawing cute animals or gorgeous landscapes, and drew them all day instead. I struggle a great deal with even starting to draw, because Iām nervous about how my stuff will be received, and Iām ashamed of where my skill level is at, so it turns into a really bad negative feedback cycle. It is very very bad, donāt be like me. :P I know itās easier said than done, but draw what you love.
Ok that was probably way more information than you even wanted. XD Sorry for the TMI. >_> ]]
D-LISHTASTYTHEATRE REBLOGGED THIS FROM ARTEMIS-ENTRERI#AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!#THANK YOU SNO4WY FOR SAVING MY LIFE!!!#FORGOTTEN REALMSĀ
[[ ^_^;; You are way too kind, I should be the one thanking you for how often you reblog my stuff, both written and drawn. OTL Iām not sure that I deserve your tags, since my art isnāt nearly good enough to save anyoneās life. I wish that I could do the level of work that deserves what youāve expressed, and it is my hope to reach that point someday. But really, knowing that you like my stuff helps me feel less insecure about drawing my OTP. <3 ]]

[[ So, in the process of reading the tags from you two, I broke my brain on the second one from the first set, and sayingĀ āuhujujuhuā out loud earned me an,Ā āAre you ok?ā and a concerned but slightly weirded-out look from the significant other. :P THANKS GUYS! <3 But no, seriously, thanks for reblogging my lazy art, I really appreciate it! ^_^;; ]]
