Me: Forgive me lord for I have sinned.
Some higher power: What have you done this time?
Me: I've drawn Karma like some shoujo anime protagonist 😭
Listen, I can explain. I just wanted to draw Karma pining after Nagisa. I've wanted to do it for weeks. But every time I try I just can't quite get the face right.
I will keep trying! It's only a matter of time 😈

Finally experimenting with colour and after a few attempts, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it!
Still a ways off mind you, but this hasn't been as painful as I expected 😮💨
Side note, I commend everyone here who can capture Karma's energy and cheekiness! He's worth the effort and my diminishing eraser though 😂
I need more Karmagisa fics where Nagisa struggles to be close to Karma the way he wants because he's too busy dealing with all of the trauma and body issues his mother gave him.
But I can't do hurt without comfort so obviously Karma would affirm him as soon as Nagisa opens up to him (read: Karma practically threatens him to open up and turns from harsh and rough to heartbroken and soft in an instant).
I'll add more chains eventually but sleep calls
Your art is incredible and I'm almost sorry to clog up your notifications with all of my likes but it HAD TO BE DONE. Thank you for doing the lord's work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do you have any tips or advice on how you approach the composition of each piece you draw? Your pieces have such interesting and dynamic angles and perspectives without feeling too busy! It's genuinely genius
thank you so much for the kind words ;-; also no worries at all, it's always a pleasant surprise to see the notification count!! 🥺💕
for composition... honestly im really honoured you would ask me of all people omg there's a similar ask that i got on my main blog years ago, but i think a lot of it is still pretty relevant to this day?
generally i go by these basic impressions:
horizontal: wide, peaceful, expansive... think of scenery photography
portrait: tense, rising action. maybe think of a person standing
diagonal: a mix of both. overall pretty dynamic?
but of course you don't have to stick purely to these, because ultimately i think it also depends on what you want to tell through your art 💭 also i've been fancying diagonal compositions a lot more lately because it feels a lot more alive at times asdadafa (that, and you can kinda fit more stuff in a dynamic angle sometimes. you didn't hear this from me lol)
i think it also helps to ask yourself
what do you want to draw / portray?
what kind of setting are you in?
what do you want to highlight in your piece?
usually, i try to draw my pieces such that there's a bit of a narrative that you can tell at a glance... it might just be my own personal philosophy as an artist, but even after so many years, i think there's a lot more meaning to looking at a piece of art if there's a story behind it that can stick in the viewer's mind for a period of time. i tend to take a lot of inspiration from google and pinterest as a starting point, and then think about what i want to tell through it... it doesn't necessarily have to be super complicated to start off with, but you might be surprised at what you might eventually come up with
i would also recommend looking up composition rules...! to start with, the rule of thirds is probably one of the most commonly used compositions in movies / photography / art etc, and is something that i use pretty often in recent months. you don't necessarily have to follow them to a tee, but i do think it really does help to make the overall piece a little more impactful
the golden spiral is also another rule that i really like to plan around because it helps to guide the viewer's line of sight in a continuous motion (like the angel/devil piece i did a while ago here...)
personally i also take a lot of inspiration from movies and games...! as a creative, i do think it really does help to expand your visual library in general because maybe you might see a single frame that you really like, and go "hey i kinda want to try drawing something like that in future...!!!" or maybe it might make you think "why does this specific shot work....?" currently i'm not a professional in the creative field or anything, but my previous education in 3D animation has led me to really look at more movies and games as a result, so it's something that i really recommend doing as well if you're looking to explore more composition ideas and observe how they are used in practice
on the topic of 3D... because of this experience i also play around with the 3D models in CSP sometimes because it's a lot easier for me sometimes to just immediately try different camera angles through 3D mode and see what works best? if you have CSP or a 3D app, and if your device specs can support it, i definitely recommend giving it a whirl and explore your composition options
this isn't necessarily composition per se, but since we're talking about guiding the viewer eye, i also think that colours and values also play a huge part in that... it's something that i like to explore with constantly because i think colours are just so so so powerful like that. generally the human eye will always be drawn to the most detailed / eye-catching thing first, so i think it would really help to think of where you want your main focus to be, and then make that area the brightest / most detailed
here's my attempt on putting that to practice in my recent art of krng;
this turned out to be a really long yap but i hope this was able to help somewhat...?? ashdjkasd i actually really like to yap about the artistic process so i might've gone off a tangent somewhere, but i hope this was insightful in any way
ultimately do note that there's no hard and fast rule to art, because i think what's the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process :")
Teasing Nagisa was a pivotal part of Karma's friendship with him. It was no secret he got a sadistic kick out of seeing other's reactions to his pranks and well-timed jabs, but the smaller assassin never seemed to catch on to how Karma enjoyed and sought out his reactions the most.
"Come on, Karma! Delete that photo!" He jumped repeatedly, a series of futile attempts to reach the phone held high above red hair and taunting golden eyes.
The brush of his chest against his own, his grabbing hands making more winkles in his shirt, were glimmers of contact Karma had come to treasure in a way he will never say out loud.
"And where would the fun in that be? Don't you want something to remember your feminine charms by?" His waves his phone closer, showing off the shockingly gorgeous picture from the summer Nagisa dressed as a girl to sneak into that club with the girls in class.
Tongue and cheek and a light-hearted atmosphere turns cold in an instant. Nagisa stops jumping, and takes a single step back before going still. When he looks up through his fringe, Karma feels ice in his veins.
"Oh, I get it. You think I look better as a girl too." The words fall from those lips Karma hasn't been able to stop looking at for three months with resignation and a disappointment that has shame spiking in his gut. Yet before he can make any kind of attempt at damage control, Nagisa is brushing past him, his last words dripping in venom that belies a pain Karma had not realised existed.
"Fine, keep the damn photo."

First page of a new sketchbook is graced with Karma's presence! I think I'll add Nagisa next to him soon for some sort of angsty Karmagisa piece, but for now I'm super happy with how this turned out!
Good quality pencils make such a difference 😭
I didn't post this before as I wasn't sure how I felt about the quality, but I've since decided it's post-able!
I was thinking about poor Nagisa when he's resigned to his mother's whims and wishes, and wanted to try and capture that listless quality he has. Honestly maybe the whole thing warrants an introspective one shot because 😩 the feels!
Really challenged myself by trying to draw Nagisa in a dynamic pose today. Took a lot longer than I bargained for and it isn't perfect, but hopefully people can see the vision!
I came across a picture of Nagisa from the Masquerade Collab cafe they held a while back. I mixed feelings. Overall, I really like the outfit! But certain details didn't resonate with his character in my opinion.
It's the frills. It's the frilly cape.
Anyway! I thought I'd take a stab at my own drawing inspired by it, but different.
Another Nagisa drawing with some experimentation with some shading. I quite like how this turned out! I did have to go back and fix one detail with the clothes, but that's learning for you!

I spent far longer on this than I expected but it was fun practise. I remember when I used to trace art of these two all the time, and it feels pretty amazing to be able to draw them freehand in any capacity.
But the real reason I started this is because I needed to see Nagisa with the proportions of a man who actually grows 😭 I love short kings, but after his entire arc I feel he deserved some kind of puberty growth spurt... and then I accidentally drew them with their school uniforms and hair 🫠
I hardly ever post my attempts at drawing (casual hobby and all) so you know I'm obsessed with something when I actually do. Anyway, hope someone enjoys this!
I'm so incredibly normal about this man. It's not like every bit of practise I do turns into him or anything 😩
I love Endou, I really do, but I have a headcannon that when Kidou becomes the vice coach for Raimon Endou sort of...starts to flake out on the paperwork.
It starts one Friday when they have some permission slips for a soccer-related fieldtrip. Endou gets a call from his mum asking for his help with something and Kidou smiles and reassures him he can handle it.
"Go on and help her out. I've got things covered here."
It's a nice, one time gesture. Well, it was supposed to be, until errand after errand turns into simply forgetting altogether. Kidou tries to do something, but he isn't going to let the kids down when it isn't their fault.
They do sort it eventually with an intervention on time management. Endou apologises profusely and the balance is restored. But Kidou also has to learn that just because he can, he shouldn't take on too many tasks.
