Going Crazy - Blog Posts

Hey y'all, I'm alive I promise! My life has just been really busy the last few days so I've forgotten to post... I have had like no time to relax and when I do I end up doomscrolling on various platforms 😶 I have been working on my inktober/artober. At first I was inking and coloring everything but then I gave up, I haven't finished the one for the second, haven't even gotten a sketch for yesterday's, and haven't started on today's yet 💀... I also need to finish like five free commissions, I feel so bad because I keep having to tell these poor people I can't get them done this week 😭 I've also got to enter my best friends dtyis, and you know finish inktober... Anyways, I'm having fun drawing just struggling to make time for it. If you are one of the free commissions people I promise I will get it done! Going to try to this weekend, I appreciate y'all's patience so much 😭🙏 Anywho, going to try to just chill the next few days, and get some of these art things done, and I'll try to post something. I have a bunch of drawings I need to post but I haven't yet.

Also, I can take paid commissions now. Dm if you want to learn more 🤭

Looks at u... could u draw tango/etho....

not so sneakily uses this as an excuse to spread my cyborg c!tango propaganda

I don't think I can express how much I love Gear 5 Luffy. I legit start tweaking out and busting nuts everytime I see something that even mentions his name. He's so silly I can't express how much I love him. Luffy in general I love but Gear 5 have a special place in my heart I want to just grab him by the throat and throw him around while violently sobbing about how much I love him.

I would never win a fight with this mf I could probably take him in another kind of fight HA. HA.

Yeah, but I'm honestly going nuts I can't go a few minutes without thinking about this little rapscallion!!! Put him in the penis compactor I say!!! I need people to not see me as some cray cray little guy and agree with me here on a level

SPOILERS FOR THE BOY WONDER!!

i hate this comparison just as much as i love it god, i loved so much this comic, i hadn't had time to read it but it's sooo good, i loved seeing dami and jason interact and acknowledge their similarities

AND THIS DAMIAN PANEL WHERE HE SAYS HES ENVIOUS OF JASON BECAUSE HES SO EASILY FORGIVEN BY BRUCE AND HOW HE FEELS UNWORTHY OF THAT AND JASON DOESN'T EVEN SEE THAT GODDDD

M-Addily I drew Addily going mad

let me bed rot in peace!! ;c

HOW DO YOU DRAW SO FAST OMGGGG

I worked really hard on it tbh haha. A few years back I went through a long period of intense perfectionism where I slowed down to a crawl (like five comic pages in 4 months). I finally decided that that wasn't working for me, and so I started implementing my motto: shitty is better than incomplete!

Basically it's about the idea that it's more important to me to get the ideas and stories out there than it is for them to be perfect. I have a lot of stories I want to tell, and there's only so much time for me to tell them. It helps to remind myself of this as much as possible!

As for technical tricks, I do a few things that really help:

Draw a lot! Practice is truly one of the number one ways to improve speed, as annoying as it is to accept

I don't zoom in too far

I only use 1 brush at 1-2 sizes for inking (outside of specialized stuff like stippling)

I put hard limits on a lot of stuff--how much shading I do (if any), or what shape my comic panels are (only squares, no diagonals or weird shapes), for example

My characters (comic characters especially) all have pretty simple designs and outfits

I write down every idea for an illustration that I have, even if I'm not ready to tackle it yet. That way when I have a chance to sit down, I've got a whole list ready to go and I'm not waffling around in the concept stage

Finally, I've learned to accept my imperfections as a neat part of my art! It's not easy, and I slip back into bad habits sometimes, but I try my best to see every misplaced mark or color that bleeds outside the line as proof that a human hand made this. I don't spend a lot of time correcting mistakes or painstakingly trying not to make them.

Here's an example from Hello Sunshine, where if looks fine from far away, but if you zoom in a bunch, you can see all kinds of little "mistakes." gaps in the ink and color, the line of Alex's ear doesn't match up, very sketchy linework where their faces meet, haha.

But then when you zoom out even a little bit, you a) don't notice those things nearly as much, and b) I think it gives it a kind of traditional charm. Just because you CAN use ctrl-z doesn't mean you HAVE to.

Anyway I hope that helps!!

My characters aren’t original or creative, they’re little bits of my soul like a Horcrux.

i romanticise things that will kill me. it's cultural.

me in front of the mirror every morning :

NO! u are so fun. NOT weird at all. ur so normal! no one can tell that there’s something with you. YOU ARE FUN!! UR NOT WEIRD!!!

i have got to get more crazy and off putting
