Art & Art

Haven't been posting on here an awful lot, but I'm still around -- just elsewhere. Hope everyone is doing well

I am a little obsessed with all of hc’s tinkling accessories, especially as they must appear at night. Confession: I hadn’t even read the novel, but the description of hc’s boots tinkling as he walked during the bride arc sold me immediately. I think my goal is to paint that specific sound...

so my pet chickens got spooked by a stray cat recently. I love these two silly birds very much.

some photostudies, trying to figure out how to draw inanimate objects.

XL is such a beautiful soul

this turned out very different to the imagined pic, but still interesting vibes nonetheless. one day will figure out how to draw details without getting hand cramps.

so I thought I needed to make my signature a bit more elegant for this one // this was really really fun and very indulgent

The animators have done an incredible job!

Tbh I don’t get the hype around Alexandre Cabanel’s ‘Fallen Angel’, but of all the hxh characters, I reckon Kurapika’s the best fit. Thank you twitter prompt. Stretching the painting muscles after a long hiatus~

I think over the years, my idea of ‘improvement’ has changed a lot. It’s less about correct anatomy etc, but more about exploring and figuring out the best way to convey the image & feeling you have in mind. That means having a wide artistic repertoire so that you aren’t limited by technical skill, but it also means that some artworks can’t be ‘improved’ because they are already so successful in conveying what you had in mind.

Again, just a crazy mashup of things on my mind the past week. Need to sit down and do some studies without getting unduely stressed about not studying/reading etc, time just runs away...

a flower crown for you.

Facing my fears and practicing lineart.  ...it’s an exquisite sort of pain but I can’t keep avoiding it ahh
