(Sempai teach me how to draw hot men! :D These two are damn fine!-that way I could draw more naughty stuff hehehe)

[[ I’m hardly good enough to be anyone’s senpai ^_^;, but I’m glad that you think that they’re 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 don’t feel that I’m good enough to warrant any sort of authority on giving art advice of any kind, but I feel ok talking about this because I’m 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 won’t be as reliant on references, there will always be something that we won’t know how to draw, but our guide is right there all around us. I used to think that “no references used” 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 that’s the kind of mentality to stay away from because it just hurts us in the long term.

The other thing that I don’t 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 isn’t so... “tingly”, to put it lightly, but it can’t be helped. I wish that I enjoyed drawing women more, since I have trouble depicting beautiful or  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 I’m nervous about how my stuff will be received, and I’m ashamed of where my skill level is at, so it turns into a really bad negative feedback cycle. It is very very bad, don’t be like me. :P I know it’s 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 REALMS 

[[ ^_^;; You are way too kind, I should be the one thanking you for how often you reblog my stuff, both written and drawn. OTL I’m not sure that I deserve your tags, since my art isn’t nearly good enough to save anyone’s life. I wish that I could do the level of work that deserves what you’ve 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 ]]

FREYKA REBLOGGED THIS FROM SNO4WYTOO#ART#UHUJUJUHU

thank you ;v; these last days weren’t so good and i think that’s why i felt so distressed about the post and the followers, i do feel a bit better now though and realize it wasn’t a super nice thing of me to want people to unfollow me.................. i’m sorry about that umu

I’m sorry if this took a bit. 

Elves do not grow bald. Their hair thins and turns white and some wrinkles appear but this is only true for a venerable age. And I do mean venerable (I’d approximate this to +550-700). 

In the second edition, elves were expected to hear the call to Arvanaith and travel there (the hidden elven homeland, speculated to be a pocket piece of Arvandor on the Plane of Olympus, that none have ever been able to reach without dying) when they felt of age, but after that, there was not much said about what happened to truly old elves, so they were never explicitly observed. 

I hope you find yours too, friend, and even if there is no One Thing we can always have Many Small Things <3

i had never consider that and it’s! such a good point actually omg thank you

i always felt the same tbh

i really hope this isn’t a bad topic to high five people on but: high five
