@Shadami: Oh! It was completely hiding (in plain sight) on me! Sorry about that. Limiting your palette can definitely introduce challenges that you weren't expecting - but the art itself isn't bad, and I'm willing to bet that you learned something from doing it, even if it wasn't necessarily what you were hoping to accomplish.

Hello everyone. I think your art is wonderful, Shadami.

I learned that I still have no idea how to shade faces without references x.X I don't know why I struggle with faces so much.

Hmm, I'm not one familiar with art and the creation of it, but I think you could potentially find some tutorials online for shading faces. I'm not an artist, though, so I'm unsure if it would be of any help. I could ask my friend if he has any recommendations for shading faces.

I think my problem is i still try to leave the details even when it's shaded on that side. But I don't know. It's crazy how bad i am at faces xD

I think you're pretty good with faces! It takes practice to get better, much like any other technical skill - perhaps you could try again, and see how it turns out.

I liked your art, if it's any reassurance.
What Pokemon are you going to draw?

@selenite: Hi York. How are you today?

@Shadami: ...because faces are difficult? I still struggle with them too.

@Wildfire: Passing time, mostly. Today's uneventful for the most part, aside from trying to arrange to drop a cat off to the shelter. A bit difficult to find one that is both nearby and open on a Sunday.

i drew another random thing instead. xD

But the color palette might make a good mimikyu? or simple joltik or something.

@selenite: Yes, I bet that would be difficult combination to try arranging. :3 Is this a new kitty that needs a home?

@Shadami: I'm glad you're continuing to draw and experiment! I had to look up your pokemon, but yes, it would seem that the palette would suit either

@Wildfire: This is sort of new kitty. One of our cats is injured and we can't afford to take him to a veterinarian, apparently. The cat in question was probably mentioned by other alters in my system - he was a stray that we took in.

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

Voltie Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/11/1 16:41:00 )
@selenite: Yes, I think somebody did mention him. I'm sorry - that's got to be a tough thing to be dealing with. :(

@Shadami: That's what sketchbooks are for!

@Wildfire: That is why I'm here, if I'm honest. Sebastián can't handle the notion, so I'll be dealing with this for him. It doesn't bother me too much, honestly.

@Wildfire: Tomorrow, a shelter nearby opens - I'll be calling to ask if they take cats like him. The problem is, I'm unsure of what to do with the injured cat in question until then.
The cat has a broken toe according to my friend, and my friend's grandfather insists it's alright to wrap it.. he isn't a medical professional for animals though, so I'm not sure it's the best decision.
