LOOK LOOK SNUFKIN WITH THE LITTLE FIRE SPIRIT THINGY 💖💕🥺

Totally think moomin would have a bow tie for each season. A blue bow tie for spring, red for summer, orange for autum and maybe black, grey or purple for winter (depending on if he’s awake to wear one or if he’s traveling). I feel like he’d wear a bleak coloured tie during winter because it’s always been a sad time of year for him as Snufkin isn’t usually around. Or maybe if he is traveling he doesn’t wear bow ties but instead bandanas like he did in his younger years of travelling although he wouldn’t wear his old one.

Also I think he’d gain a few more scars and would tell stories to the next generation about them. similar to how his father had told stories about his youth to moomin and his friends. Snufkin would cut in and correct him if he couldn’t remember or if he started to exaggerate during his retellings and vide versa. although Snufkin wouldn’t really exaggerate things as often as Moomin.

This is very helpful!

I'm kinda ashamed to ask this, but could you make a tutorial on how to draw hands? ;A;

omg dont be ashamed at all!! Hands are generally tough to get used to, lots of artists struggle with it! so dont be ashamed i feel you.

and I actually have made a hand anatomy guide before in fact! If you want to get better at drawing hands I def recommend you learn the basic anatomy first. Please check out the ones I made, I try to make it simple and easy to understand:

Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 1

Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 2

There’s my guide to the anatomy, but here’s some more tips that I’ve noted to myself that I’d like to include

First off, I’d like to just note on the fingers: if you pay close attention to your own hand, you may notice the fingers are ever ever so slightly curved inward. It’s a very subtle detail, but I noticed that, despite how slight it is, it can make a hand look more lively, and less stiff.

Second, the “M” on the palm! Your hand moves in many ways, and because it does it creates creases in your hand. The most prominent creases appear to make an M shape; this is handy to remember for what I’m going to talk about next. (It also could be a “W” I guess, or to be more specific a “ )X( “; just think of it in whatever way helps you remember!)

SO now that you see the M, draw your hand as a basic blocked shape and add your details. As you do, you can see that the M divides the palm into four basic parts!

When the hand moves, parts A, B, or C of the palm, alone or in different combos, will create the general poses that the hands do normally. These parts are the parts that move, with D being stationary, no matter what!

Here’s a chart of all the possible combos. Once you have down what part of the hand moves for a certain pose, you can change up the fingers and tweak it a bit to do what you need to make it more specific!

This is simply my method of drawing hands. God knows there are hundreds of tutorials out there by other artists, but personally, this way helps me the best (after learning the anatomy first). 

This way I can divide the hand and combine the parts in any such way I need! 

Hands take a lot of effort to grapple, and you need to practice them a lot, especially foreshortening of the hand; that’s really something you need to learn through your own studies. Look at your own hands, draw hands from life, from magazines, shows, comics; just draw hands! You’ll eventually figure out a method that works best for you. So to get better at drawing hands; draw hands!! And don’t stress over it, have fun with it!

Rough storyboard of Geegee1h’s Saint Bernard - Moomin animatic. I might not finish the whole video but so far I’m happy with what I’ve done. Fine lined version will be up soon.

Final panel I’ll be doing for this! Need to fine liner them all now.

I love this au!

Prince Merlin’s chaperon After the sudden engagement, Balinor and Uther insisted that Kilgharrah keeps an eye on the two princes to uphold morality. More prince!merlin requested by a lovely Anon.

Sad boi

Apparently people liked when I posted, hello friends! Have some moomin comics and doodles. (Each photo is an independent scenario they aren’t connected!!)

Might finish them, but probably won’t :,)

I have only one desire…

these are amazing

Dragons :)

If there is something I like to do it’s creating dragons, so I tried to design two dragons based on Moomintroll and Snufkin.

Ahhhh why do I have to be so poor 😫
