it’s digital! I use photoshop CS6 and 90% of my art is done using this brush:

which came from a brush pack on deviantart and I can’t for the life of me remember which one

the other 10% are these: 

which are a combination of the first (I think) brush in one of @god-head‘s brush packs + some default textures slapped on there 

1) sometimes I make process gifsI think this was the last one I madeI always mean to make more, but merge everything down before saving layers whoops

2) I used to, but I have a very short attention span and the amount of breaks I take in between every three or four lines would likely drive anyone watching crazy. Plus stage fright.

3) I’m still working on those myself, but what I can recommend is life drawing if you have the resources for it,also drawing people in public, which help a lot with more natural poses.If you don’t, sites like this are good (there’s another, more popular one, but I can’t find it right now)gesture drawings to get to the crux of the overall pose instead of getting caught up in the details is a super valuable exercise, too

there’s not all that much too it, tbh

I’ve drawn since I could hold a crayon, and have always been drawn to “””morbid””” things for whatever reason

(tangent: I never really liked horror movies, and was a ridiculously paranoid kid. I remember seeing a scene from x-men where wolverine stabbed someone straight through their torso and I couldn’t sleep on my back for like a week b/c I was scared he/ some masked stranger was hiding under my bed ready to stab me.)

I remember when I was young and rolling around the library looking at book covers, that I was particularly struck by brett helquist and stephen gammell’s stuff

and tim burton but lets not talk about it

and also anime ofc

it was mostly hobby scribbling, and it wasn’t until I got into my high school art class that I started to take it more “seriously”, because I was actually being taught foundational stuff (it was actually a surprisingly good art program)

and then about 2013 when I made my inspo blog is when I started making a concerted effort to try and develop a “”style”” because I wanted to retain some semblance of consistency through my work (still working on that :’ ) )

just basically trying to stitch together things that I like, and trying to figure out why I like certain things in particular

thank you !! And thank you for asking

nope, just the general phrase
