You have encountered an eerily familiar chest, in which you may store your arms.

Or your arms. It depends on whether your goal is prop-adjacent sketch comedy or a charcuterie board that's just knives.

This was linearted before I started focusing more on detail balance, so the background ended up much emptier than what I’d do now. Still wanted to finish it and move on.

Ever since I learned to tint greys with the color that fulfills color harmony, I love pushing it and seeing how it much affects the vibe

I hope that, in my lifetime, I make one thing as beautiful and perfectly constructed as Gusty Garden from Mario Galaxy.

I'm not satisfied with this one, so I'm calling it done

Major issues: I inconsistently committed to details. I find it hard to figure out where my eye is supposed to land. I didn't have a color plan.

You encounter some kind of mushroom boy who seems to be vaping.
You’re not sure that’s allowed here.
His eyelashes are gigantic.

What do you do?

No time for art because...I'm head first in dissertation writing >__<

And I'm pivoting my art style to something less detailed because spending months on one artwork isn't what I want to do

Good luck on your pulls for her, everyone!

My unfinished art doesn't do her justice, but I still hope she comes home >__<;

Gamedev secret about being an idiot: it's okay if your code sucks because you can replace it later and laugh at yourself.

You know you're improving as an artist when you start drawing earlier than...the day before the banner drops😇

#drawing whatever came to mind

Her hair is a jumbled mess because I was inspired to draw after seeing a Cammy White sketch on pinterest. And then my friend sent me yugioh memes. And then I was thinking about Layla from Genshin

rip her ears, idk where they went

art is hard😞

Loosening up, something inside of me is melting

which honestly is my 2026 goal

Went from sketch (⬅️) to half-rendered (➡️) in the past few hours, I'm tired

I should focus on fixing up the hair and calling it a day

I did an art process study by following a video by Marc Brunet (bluefley). I really love the expression he painted and I wanted to try to see what I could learn. Thoughts below.

I was inspired by __lu.e3 to draw something way more fluid and intuitive. I've mostly treated drawing like deconstructing industrial art process. so this was very different.

...I mean, I'M not happy with it, but the point was to let go, so, you know, mission accomplished.

I tried painting the lights-to-shadows turning the other way on the color wheel. Mostly failed.

But the warm/cool range shifted from orange-blue to yellow-indigo. idk how to make sense of that

It's crazy that making art is so meditative.

I went back to this and rendered it some, since I'm on break...I like it better but eh?

I...dunno.

I've been learning how to construct heads all year. I still don't feel like I have fluid expression with emotions.

I mean I'm definitely better than before but...am I there yet? Can I just BE capable?

Drawing generic anime heads! Sucrose!

I went for a more cutesy style. I feel like I did okay! And it took me less than 1.5 hours

I'm practicing this to learn basic principles of art, to help me when making game assets.

When people say write/draw every day, they put the cart before the horse.

I think people want to carve out time to engage with what's meaningful to them, and they just need to see how the daily practice connects.
December 19, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Added some color

It felt nice to work on art after doing research all day. I'm tired.

I want more eyes on my work. As many do.

I'm trying to keep in mind that there is no shortcut. The experiences I'm having now are going to be some of the most important ones in my journey. And I won't be able to internalize it all until I can look back at myself and reflect on things.

#genshin #fanart experience:

1. I cannot find an accurate reference.
2. Her dress makes no physical sense.
3. These clothes cover nothing. How is she not cold.
