Very random bits of art wisdom I learned over the years bc I'm bored on the bus:
If you use black for shading it'll muddy up your colors (not saying do not do it ever cause I'm sure some ppl make it work but still)
Use references kids
Like seriously who came up with the idea that refs are bad
I pinky promise you don’t have to pull poses, outfits, etc out of your artist ass
Drawin' chompers? Lower canines always in front of upper canines
The secret to the other eye is not copy pasting the first, but drawing both together as opposed to fully rendering them one at a time
Styles are annoyingly overrated. How about we realize the value of experimenting and being versatile eh
Step out of your comfort zone. Will it suck at first? I mean yeah probably but there's no other way to learn something you wanna learn
Idk what ppl are on about hands, it's shoes that are the real devil here
Also while I'm at it, have a "comfort subject" that takes little effort to draw, for when you really wanna do something but don't feel particularly inspired
It's also a good little bit of ego boost
Take breaks. Seriously. Don't be like me. And stretch.
Half the fun of designing a creature is figuring out its anatomy (but i mean I'm a nerd so take this with a grain of salt)
Textured brushes are your friends, but they can make something a lot messier than intended so watch out for that
Learn just a little bit of color theory (no not the children's hospital that isn't even actual color theory, funnily enough)
Cutting corners is valid, but try not to end up completely dependant on certain tools
Name your files something other than keyboard smashes. Trust me.
Treat your microns like newborns and don't let that one fking classmate that presses the pen like their life depends on it borrow them i swear to fucking god-
There's no one size fits all for art, maybe every single bit of advice i just gave is complete useless bs to u and that's fair
just so yall know
art block is your brain telling you to do studies.
draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.
art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard
think of it as level grinding for your next work.

Exploring more my two-headed horse idea which I’ve decided to name “corsels” - an offshoot of the spanish word for noble steed, ‘corcel’.
Wanted to have some fun with coats, some organic and others not so, to see how they could look like in wild, domestic, or even fantasy/high fiction settings. Admittedly I wanted to originally call the “faux single” pinto head coat “the oreo” because that’s exactly what I was going for - but didn’t think it may fit well in many other settings aside from our modern one. I changed it to “faux single” because the pattern is supposed to create the illusion that the double heads look like a single one when both faced forward.
We’ll be exploring saddle and rein ideas soon. Heavily studying what horse team reins look like as they will likely be the strongest candidate, but we’ll see alternate variations as well.
That being said, I want to express that the Corsels are FREE TO USE for your own stories, RPs, DnD campaigns, and/or other fictional settings. I only authorize its use for fun, not for profit.
Have fun!
What are your thoughts on the idea of some centaurs having wings like a pegasus or a horn like a unicorn? Like maybe at some point in their ancestry their line diverged in the same way as unicorns and pegasi magically appeared with horses? They'd probably have very big wings as well as things on their legs near the hooves to probably help with flight. Funny little wings like those wings shoes on their ankles or feathers or something. Magic unicorn centaurs.
Hell yea, slap unicorn horns and wings on EVERYTHING. There is no reason not to and the result is always a DELIGHT.
Like, I probably wouldn’t include them in my world as an operational race (Who gave them permission to have -8- limbs, that is TWICE the regulation 4. Centaurs are already on thin ice with 6!!) since I personally can’t excuse those flight mechanics, but noone can deny that shit is visually cool as hell.
Mix and match your mythical creatures for fun and ???

rebelle/rebelle pro which is a more traditionally-inclined painting program that usually costs like 150 bucks is now uhhh 10 fucking dollars? until october 13th
Me gritting my teeth and clutching a pencil: everyone making amazing art on tumblr also had to go through a phase of making terrible art that was objectively crappy and didn’t live up to their expectations. It’s just that they did it when they were 13 and I’m doing it when I’m 25. My beginner art is just as good as anyone else’s beginner art
