Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The last of the cardboard headshot series! I’ll likely have a few up for sale on dealers den from some of the DM’s Ive received! Until then I’ll probably go back into my cave to study and I’ll hopefully be unshackled around Christmas— this means no weretober from me as well ! 0282
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Awww thankies :3 I think I’ve gotten almost all of them out by now 020
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I can’t keep track of which portraits in the collection I have or haven’t posted at this point but here’s more 0477
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Me trying out color rather than just grey scale 1451
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Good colors and I feel like it has good flow for the sake of leading your eyes around the piece.sure, proportions are the base of the aesthetics pyramid but I also like the colors of the back and the shadows on the chest :3 030
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My ideal awwtum would be filled with chicken nuggets and a pumpkin spiced latte ^^ 120
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Aww thanks! They were a lot of fun to draw and some fun experimentation. I more or less close to the end of the “ card board dog portrait series “ but it’s been a lot of good exp grinding 010

Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Live reaction of me finding chicken nuggies in the back of my freezer 1501
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I feel like we are at the mid point now of fox portraits 1434
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 13/09/2026BIG OOF my heart goes out to you and your wallet. 110

Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 12/09/2026A white cardboard panel , Curtesy of the Beechers Mac & cheese I bought 3696
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Awww thanks! I’m thinking that the highest rated 3 I’ll put up on dealers den since it so atleast some people can have a few . They are all just practice on a solid base so I can just “tune “ how I do blocks and form followed by selectively playing with new materials . 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Thanks! It came out alittle more coy than usual but I like it as well 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Big silly shapes are one of the few things I can do right ! 000
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I only have 2 rulers in my apt and they do run away from me some times :( If I do any curves is either at the eyes , or where the cheek floof meets the front of the mouth . 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 11/09/2026At the low low cost of 1 tennis ball , you can get 15 minutes of pets ! 110
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Me too! I feel like the ratio of snoot to the rest of the face is important 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The SNOOT, ngl probably my favorite of them all 712414
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Thanks! I’m glad you like him :3 I’m still not too comfortable with pen but part of me thinks it’s the equipment and me at some point needing to figure out fountain pens 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Many angles 📐 we love repeatable geometry here 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Thanks! Theres gonna be a lot more graphite work but eventually I get into my markers! 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Awww thankies I feel like all my resting heads are just a bit contemplative :3 100
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Once you have your piece to proper dimensions , then you can add on the chamfers and fillets to make it pretty — you can only add noise on the to paper ( with some noise being necessary) but it’s really hard to regain your form if too much is added 110
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I live an die off of my hard edges and specific interior angles. It’s not to say you can’t make great work off of C &S ‘s but to me you only “lose” the illusion of form , similar to how you can only cut a piece of paper smaller. I view keeping the form like fabing a part out on a lathe or mill 110
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh if your using Stonehenge you’ll be getting a much finer feel than my silly industrial compost 🤣 010
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh I know who they are! 🎉 VCU and Richmond mentioned 🎉 Also the VMFA is a gem and has some of the best standing and moving collections I’ve seen in my life “An hour of prayer at the pearl mosque” by Edwin Lord Weeks is probably my favorite for any of the RVA natives reading :3 030
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Since people are so fickle with the art that does get made I’d count my self luck if people still enjoy the Theoretical piece I made after 3 months. Plus some of my painting directly on paper fuck up paintings have still lasted over 3 years , so for oil paints I kinda view archival stuff as BS 020
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026To where i almost entirely use gamblin 1980 or gamblin artist with no mediums so it’s like painting with room temp butter! When ive used cheaper paints ( blick studio) ive ran into problems but thats easy enough to avoid . I’m also on the lines of , nothing I make needs to last longer than 5 years 130
Dumpling @beansproutdumpling.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I like cardboard because it’s mentally freeing , consistent yet has a pinch of good noise , dirt cheap , already toned , so accessible that I can pull from my recycling bin, good sized pieces , and archival enough lol. When you paint on the clear acrylic it glides well and hold thick paint 320
