7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
Any artform? Music or theater. I've tried both, but theater is too physically intensive for me and I am literally tone deaf. Not even in like a joking way, I am just physically incapable of differentiating or modulating tones. I did chorus for like six years plus flute for a little bit and it did very little to help. I think both are neat though!!!
If we're talking just like painting/illustration/etc - GOUACHE GOUACHE I LOVE GOUACHE <3 I keep meaning to use gouache more I absolutely adore it. Acrylics I think are neat but I struggle with a ton. Paint markers and alcohol markers scare me a little. They're intimidating. I've tried them and they confound me. I am literally allergic to charcoal and pastels and many types of ink which I'm sad about because I love figure drawing and those are some of the main mediums for that. And then some less illustration-adjacent ones - ceramics and fiber crafts! I've dabbled in ceramics and it's super fun and cool. Fiber crafts I've only particularly tried a small handful - I dabble in sewing and tried weaving, and I forget what the technique is called but once time I tried but never finished a like, plush stuffed rug tufting thing? The recent trend of punch needle tufted rugs has enamored me though.

Hey, you made a post that third (or so) hermits are disabled, but people talk only about Scar, can you please ellaborate?
I don't watch many hermits, and the only thing I can assume is that Grian has ADHD (just a hunch from his videos), but please tell me more! I am eager to learn /gen
Grian has never mentioned adhd. however he has spoken of very severe anxiety and panic attacks.
what prompted my post was the post i reblogged before it, where Skizz mentions having MS (multiple sclerosis). he’s been diagnosed since his early 20s.
Xisuma has dyspraxia, which affects motor skills and coordination, and also sometimes speech. that’s much more evident in his very old videos.
Jevin has type 2 diabetes and was hospitalized because of symptoms at least once. TFC also had diabetes, idk if he ever said which type, but he had a leg amputated due to it.
Joe has unspecified digestion issues. Cleo has an unspecified chronic condition.
and the maybe? category:
Mumbo has very openly described experiencing an eating disorder. however i genuinely cannot tell if he knows that that’s what it is.
Doc has spoken of occasional lingering issues from injuries when he was younger, from his time as a professional basketball player.
Cub took a break once because he had to have multiple surgeries on his arm, gave no further explanation.
these are all the ones off the top of my head. there’s probably more im not remembering or don’t know.
I really like your October challange drawings! They have a nice texture, so scratchy and the characters themselves are so shaped!! They are lil shapes! They are silly lil guys!! They are cuties patoties!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Anyways XD I wanted to ask what materials do you use and how do you use them. It looks like you use pencils and markers, but how exactly you make lineart here? It is thick and colorful and you even add a gradient to it 👀
Anyways, eating your art with a spoon uωu /pos
Aw thank you!! I'm always a fan of people feasting on my art :D
I think the most expensive supplies I used during my October drawings have been the occasional prismacolor pencils. However, if I had Crayola color pencils, I think that would have been one of the best to use here, as we need to keep a sharp point on the pencils. While Prismacolor is soft and great for blending, we want to keep the linestrokes we make visible, so a harder lead is ideal.
SO JUST FOR YOU (and others who are interested), I made a little tutorial on how to render like this! (MORE UNDER THE CUT)
So we have the sketch already down, and we want to line it. I have some cheap fine point markers here, an Artist's Loft one, and the red/purple one I don't even know who made that one ':o
In any case, what we have to keep in mind, is that these markers don't really have pressure sensitivity like a brush tip would. It does have a tiiiiny bit, but we're going to use them as if they don't.
Here we lined it with the lighter color first, in this case, orange! Just do it how you would if you were inking normally.
Now we start using the darker color marker, this time a dark red-violet. Here we're keeping in mind of where the light source is coming from, the top-right, in this case.
Since our marker is a set line-width, we're going to use dots instead! As the dots move away from the darker color, the farther apart we'll make them, giving the lines a little bit of depth to them, and that gradation effect. We'll keep repeating this step until the linework is--
Done!!
For the colors, I try to match them to the lineart, but just getting similar enough colors will do! We're using a Sanford col-erase orange, and a Prismacolor mulberry.
Like the lineart, we're going for the orange first! Make some compressed zigzags, and then make another perpendicular to the first. Repeat the pattern over and over. It does not have to be perfectly perpendicular, the most important part is the zigzag pattern. (Note: be gentle with how much pressure you're using! You can always go darker, it's more difficult to go back lighter.)
We'll do the same with the darker color.
Still keeping the light in mind, we're making sure that we leave some of it uncolored. Don't worry about missing spaces between our zigzag blocks, we can fill that in later!
With our darker color, once we've gone through lightly with the colored pencil, now we can start putting in darker areas for shading. It gives it a bit of pop!
The last step is going back in with the lighter color, letting it pop even more! I put more orange in the darker areas (under the body, patches in the leaf tail, etc).
This is the basics on how to do this rendering style! <3 As for color picking, just pick out whatever feels right in the moment. 💪
