Keep on Drawing!
I have been watching lots of art tutorials to improve my art recently, the more I watch the more I realise how much I don't know about art, especially anatomy or drawing a realistic face. I have only started to recently learnt and applied cool colors to counter the warm colors in my art.. Anyways it's never too late to learn these kinda things, hopefully you guys will start to see better art from me for now on. It's more important than ever for us to keep on drawing. And keep on improving! Here are some art that I quite like and wanna show them off.
Spooky Mall Experience (Did I get pranked?)
Hello everybody, I got a story to tell. This happened to me last week, it was around 10pm when I went to the local mall for some last minute grocery shopping, our supermarkets don't close until 11pm so I still had an hour to buy all the nori sheets and vegetables needed for a sushi lunch the next day. So I went to the supermarket and there was hardly anyone there, thats the way I want it! Thats why I always go so late so I don't need to deal with people. I picked up my groceries and was about to check out... then suddenly all the lights turned off. Maybe the power went out? I stood in the dark for a whole minute waiting for the lights to come back on, but nothing. So I took my phone out and used the torch. I walked around and couldn't find anybody, where did everyone go? There were still a few people around just a few minutes ago.. did they close early today? Is it 11pm already? Did I get locked in?! I found the exit but all the cashiers were gone, they must've closed early! But how
Big Smash Bros Art Collab
EDIT: Its FINISHED! Here it is :D Lets do a big SMASH BROS art collab. Every artist draw one character! (Unless that space has more than one character like Pokemon Trainer or Pyra/Mythra for example). Make it full body as well. Comment for which character you want, claim it before its too late. Art due on the 7th of September 2023. This is the layout of the final artwork. As you can see, I have laid out where each character go to give you guys a basic idea of what it will look like. Please look at your character's bubble, this may give you an idea of what you may need to draw. And try to not leave too much blank space, fill up the bubble if you can, just so there aint too many blank spaces in the final artwork. If your bubble is slightly blocked by another character's bubble on the bottom right for example, draw the character's head in a position that is not blocked! CHARACTER LIST: (⭐️=Claimed ❤️ =Finished) ❤️⭐️1) Mario - @Nicostud916 ❤️⭐️2) Donkey Kong - @SunbeamStone ❤️⭐️3) Link
Layers Layers Layers
Ok so confession, I don't like using too many layers.. I tend to merge layers a lot so I don't have to deal with layers. What if I need to go back and fix some mistakes? Well, just don't any mistakes! No I joke. Well I just draw over it and fix it that way. And when I say I don't like using too many layers, I mean I DO use layers. But I just keep it around 2 to 3 layers. Usually one for lines, one for colors and one for background. Sometimes when I am happy with it, I would even merge them together and just draw over it. So why don't I like layers? Well layers just gives me headache, I don't wanna have a hundred layers and I gotta back and find which layer I did what on, especially if you are like me and don't name the layers. Am I crazy? What do you guys do? I feel like most of the artists I know uses many layers. And I think that artists are like onions, we have many layers.

I have a genuine fear and phobia of ants.
Yes, these small creatures "that are totally harmless and are so much smaller and weaker".
When I was a little kid, I spent my time in our living room one afternoon while my father watched TV. He eventually watched a movie called "Attack of the Killer Ants", which was rated for 18+ (but since it was the afternoon, it was probably a cut 16+ version). I didn't cared much for it, but there was one scene that scared me and marked me forever.
See, this group of survivors crossed a river in their escape of the ants. They placed one man behind to stand guard and to warn them, if the ants are actually finding a way across the river.
This man was rather fat too.
He fell asleep and didn't noticed that the ants used the leafs of a nearby tree to cross the river with like with a boat.
On the other side, they started eating this person. There was no blood to see or anything, he basically just woke up at some point, screamed frantically, fell into the river and was dead.
This scene, as laughable bad as it is, set the fear in me that if an insect is light enough for you not to feel it on your skin - who knows how many there are, and where they crawl towards.
It was still endurable though, it wasn't focused so much on ants and it was more a certain disliking, that grew with the years.
But then I saw a documentation of ants who're so aggressive and hunt in such masses, that they can easily bring down animals the size of a deer and even humans, if the human doesn't pay attention.
And then it was over. I can't stand any ant anymore. It's this slight fear that I had under my skin that suddenly became awfully real and true...
When I face an ant, even on TV in a documentation, I freeze, I start to get cold sweat and I'm scared to the bones. It's the only animal I can kill without a second thought (next to ticks obviously) and that I kill on sight.
It's a little bit better outside, but I still keep an eye on them, are extremely distrustful and when they increase in numbers, I go away. No way you could bring me to pass by an ants hill.
Watching Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull didn't helped btw! >.<
