20. how much are you usually paying attention to stream?

always use them as background noise but mostly aware of whats happening. i have something on background pretty much always and when im falling asleep i pay Too much attention i think. Also if something fun is happening then i switch to watch stream fully locked in

24. who's your favorite artist in mcsr?

what an evil question. its really hard to answer because there is a bit too many artist and i love a lot of people for different things.

I think i pick lizzy jellitchi(whole whimsical vibe and colors), omeletteer(style for characters) and emil chiralfruit(colors and bgs). Their art is really pretty and is something thats really inspiring to me. I think i can learn a lot from them and one day i hope to be on their level.

people who also high on the list but i don't see myself heading in same direction as they are but i still love them a lot: atlas saltedmeow, pigeon, tsukino, ant, bwomsy, deo and smol

30. what was your favorite art recipient's reaction to your art?

if im understanding question right its my favorite reaction of someone on my art? lwk tried translating it and was left still a bit confused so my bad if i understood it wrong

with that said i think my favorite ever reaction would go to myrtle taplberries.

back when i just joined fandom and we were one of the only active people who were enjoying couriberg so we had something to yap about together. our first ever interaction in dms was us trading art and fics and later i got writing that was inspired by one of my drawings. i deeply treasure it to this day and forever greatful. ily bestie

second favorite is getting a reply from fein on art when i really did think that art that I posted was bad

thank you :3c

im both know what im doing but also not. i know color theory but a bit too stupid to do it well BUT i do have my methods of coloring

usually its one of these

#1 when its for some doodle without actual contex i will just do regular bright colors with shadows thats more saturated and cold

#2 with backgrounds

flat colors with background in mind. add background. add some light and shadows that change with bg (your shadows always will take a bit of colors from background)

#3 stealing shit from cool photo

i find cool photo with interesting colors and just pick colors from it untill i have something close enough to colors of a character. Play around with that untill have something that would work on that background. Add my background with same colors and lighting

haiiii thank you <3

its very interesting question because i actually struggle with composition a lot (im assuming u talking about composition. if not then my bad i have no clue what else this can be). i know theory pretty well but because i hate planning i just never end up using it

most of the time when art is simple i work like this

this is not what good artist teach you im pretty sure or at least ive nevr heard anyone talk about this. i use weight to make my works feel nice and ballanced. kinda how you have linewight you can have weight with values, details, colors, etc. i can explain how i see weight in art but that would be very long post so let me know if u need it

red is the heaviest part that anchors the drawing and lighter reds is secod weight or light part. in this example its second weight

now to some older works for examples

very simple

in some work you can choose to not have a second weight to make something feel more big or grand or clear and free

blue marking lines that leads your eye back on main focus of drawing

there is also thing as background foreground and midground that you need to think about but i kinda dont do that a lot because im stupid

best advice i can give is dont be like me and plan your works. also use cool perspective rules. there is wayyyy more than rule of thirds triangles and golden ratio
