Did You Ever Just Feel So Lucky For Knowing Someone You Met Online? Like.. I Was One Click Away From

Did you ever just feel so lucky for knowing someone you met online? Like.. I was one click away from not following you. I was one second away from never even knowing of your existence.I would never have been this happy!!!...

It’s wings are just Like That.

Cool bird

Hope you like it :)

a lot of people find birds unrelatable/hard to personify because they describe them as ‘robotic’ or unresponsive when people who love birds find their body language very clear and expressive. i think it’s interesting how many autistic people love & relate to birds and i’m guessing it’s something to do with that. birds can only be touched in specific areas, they have special rules regarding eye contact, and they’re often misunderstood when they use their beaks to explore the world around them and it’s read as biting. anyway i think it’s cool that birds and autistic people are United

Birdy!

Angry at me. Angry at you. In love with him.

Idk who needs to hear it but if you have Aphantasia you can absolutely do character art. Don't let it discourage you. Especially since a good portion of art advice won't fit you and will leave you feeling like its your fault.

I have Aphantasia, its super hard to put characters in poses from my mind. I cannot draw cartoons or exaggeration well, its very hard because I do not see the drawing until it is on the page. I use so many construction lines and blocks of color and always need a reference to base my character poses on. I cannot imagine things artistically before they're on the page and it is super frustrating.

You can still do it with Aphantasia though, it just takes practice. So many of your sketches without references are going to look awful despite you knowing the proper proportions of the human body, it doesn't mean you don't know what you're doing.

It just means you need to give yourself extra help. You're not lesser or bad for not being able to draw on a whim or not having these intricate details. Trust me, I've struggled with thinking that.

The best thing you can do to work with it is collect so many references, use a pose software (like magic poser), and absolutely screenshot and collect art that has a creative element you struggle with. (For me its color, backgrounds, and splash text.) Also, maybe practice abstract art. You have a brain unhindered by a visual expectation, I recommend it. For me I like to do surrealist/abstract pictures of water and space. It takes technical skill but everyday is a good day to start practicing.

Having Aphantasia is a neutral thing. It's not bad or good, it's just there. That bad part is not acknowledging that you work differently so you need to adapt differently.

Lolo saved you a seat. ☕🫖
