@Hachi: For real! im planning to make my 2021 resolution to dedicate myself
more to studying art. Not just drawing to draw, but to really study, study my own work as well
and overall work on improving myself and my art.

I'm so excited to incorporate the things i learn into my work. I have so many ideas.

For real! my sister luckily would love to help me, so i'll have a helper at least when the time comes
to make merch, and prints. I mostly cannot wait to design my business cards as i have a vague idea what to do.

One example is when people find out I'm learning Korean, ask me about it, and then look surprised when I start talking more than they have ever heard me speak before... I try to restrain myself from going too overboard with the rambling though

omg the cake dress
i LOVE that cake dress
i always used it with my pink pastry witch avatar.

also they made a few of my designs into items, so i'm obviously biased towards those, but one of them was a faerie dress and they put a gradient in it and i bet it was a real pain to do recolors for, now that i think about it

btw re: bgs - i watched a yt video that had a Quick Tip for easy/lazy bgs --
if you take the figure you draw, you basically resize/rotate and blur the shit out of it and then maybe do some adjusting for colors/brightness/etc ! and reuse the whole thing as the bg haha

@xvz: part of me feels like i've barely worked hard and now i feel ready enough
to just dive into the books of hard work lol.

though i do art practically...everyday.
sometimes i'll take a day or 2 to just rest but usually every single day i work on art.
mostly i expand working on one piece over the course of a few days that way
i don't put strain on my wrist or body and won't in a sense time crunch for like 8 hours on one thing.

@moodyb: i think it's easy to discount your own hard work - do you ever go back to reflect on your progress?? i have a tendency to do that, where i'm like noo why is my art so bad -- but then i'll look back at my art from before and see the improvement and feel a lot more motivated! i think it helped too that my friend pointed this out to me, it was a good reminder that depression goggles make it harder to assess ur own progress

that's honestly so impressive! it sounds like it's a good sustainable pace for u too which is so great :0
what are some things you wanna tackle next??

Now I'm scrolling through Ernya's Tumblr. Another thing I forgot about were the stickers. I think they were like achievements and you could buy items with them?

@xvz: Yeah i normally go back and see my old work.
Though there is some stuff that hasn't improved too much so then i focus on improving that part of my art.
for example...shading. i never shade the clothes in my work so then my work sometimes feel..."meh"
so that is something i need to work on.

Yeah i am hoping so.
Hm..i'm not sure as there is a lot to work on. But breaking down hands into better shapes for sure
because hands really stop me from finishing art a lot of times.
and i feel doing different poses with hands could really make my art look...a lot better.
After that will probably be coloring. so shading of clothes, painting hair/skin, etc.

If you need my attention for any reason please ping me.

@xvz: oh noo Im sorry about your dance workshop experience

I feel like recording is a harsh thing to do for newcomers, I can imagine it'd be stressful and ppl would feel really self-conscious

oh man yeah.. the dance culture here is intense. but I also think it's more varied since the community is so big? I never did dance per se but I participated in like... flash mobs and some choreographed performances for fun haha. mostly made up of other non-dancers so it was low pressure and everyone had fun!

haha yeah, I still talk to them, mostly through messages and sometimes video chat.
I think you have a recognizable style! but I also think it's cool when ppl can do a lot of different styles. more variety!

im not familiar with most of them ALDFKJ I'll try: free, UHMMM dog rapper video game??? idk the title, infamous(?), sonic, and d gray man
oh nooo xvz I'll respond to you for art prompts

hmmm what character do you remind me of..

Friend PM Trade

Oh yeah, Ernya Lands was a thing too. Also, based on the items I don't recognize on the Tumblr I think I was gone from Ernya for like a year and a half before it closed. And before that I had been less active

@moodyb: oohh have you ever done a cloth study?? i think those can help w figuring out where to put shadow lines on clothes ... maybe as like a warmup or something, doesn't have to be a full blown study or anything maybe just a lil sketch could probably help

yeah hands i feel like can be universally tricky .... i'm glad we like, mostly have them though haha so u usually always have a reference when u need one
