My second monthly drawings in the Hobonichi Weeks, this time for September! It's so much fun to try to fill the little blocks every single day. #hobonichi #hobonichiweeks #dailydrawing

Monthly planner spread filled with small comic-style daily doodles summarizing events from August. Work, printing, new vinyl and record fair visits, market days, gym and game/movie nights, all drawn in black ink with neon-green highlights.

Same notebook with daily doodles from before, but zoomed in on the left page.

Felt like drawing Leon. While I love Leon with his dirty blond hair from the later games, OG RE2 Leon with his deep brown hair will always be my favourite ❤️ 🫶 #leonkennedy #rebhfun #rebhfanart

I got a set of Gouache and paper from a client last year but never got the chance to try it out. Florals are always my go-to subject to draw when experimenting with new materials! Made with Royal Talens Gouache, Bruynzeel Color Pencils and Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Pastel Crayons on Cotton paper.

I am sick and tired of printing company employees being condescending to me because they hear a younger woman on the phone. Sometimes it feels the same as going to the car dealership smh

Clearly I've not been vocal enough about genAI cause genAI people keep following me so let's fire some rent lowering shots Fuck genAI, it has no use, steals from artists, destroys the environment If every game has genAI going forward, I'll just play the 40 years of games that don't Hire humans

Did you know you can just commission artists to make things for you? You give them some money and they create art for you! You don't have to do any work and you get art custom-made just for you! Or you can get involved and offer references and info and make it more of a collab. You can just do that!

please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Where do we obtain these commercial-use references? • Dedicated sites like trueref.io • There are countless ref pack creators on the artstation.com marketplace • Individual creators with Ko-Fi or Gumroad stores, such as jookpubstock.com, adorkastock.com and faestock.com Have a look around!

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

as a professional illustrator working for Magic, D&D, etc and handling tight deadlines on the daily: my advice is that you must spare time, at least a few hours a week, for personal work. and above all, your personal work should please you to create it

Twenty people

A four frame comic about getting twenty likes on a piece of art online. The first frame shows a smartphone screen with a comic posted on a social media platform. The text reads: "Aw man, only 20 people liked my new drawing...". The second frame shows the artist looking at their phone, sad. The text reads: "Twenty...". The third frame shows the artist looking up in thought, thinking "Twenty people...". In the fourth frame, the artist pictures themselves in an art gallery with their art displayed, surrounded by twenty people looking at it.

Ai chumps will never understand doing an all nighter on an idea you had to get out of your system, a bad idea and poorly executed but you got it out and it’s yours and you can file that away in your brain and it becomes part of the recipe for your next brilliant idea.

I know there’s folks out there who think I go on about AI because I’m a SAG shill or a wannabe voice actor or whatever they wanna project onto me. Truth is I just fucking hate AI. I spent a lot of my life loving media and it’s just… stripping the life from it. The love from it.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.
