Thank you! Sketching is my favourite part of the process, and if you’d have trouble choosing I could always suggest one cause I usually have a fave 🤭

Same!! Perfectionism is so hard to fight and it makes me art blocked constantly, so one of my best ways to get out of it is to doodle extremely self indulgent art badly in my sketchbook and show no one haha 😂 atm it’s Naruto fanart cause that was my OG fandom, and other times it’s OCs or ships

For having more fun (a constant challenge) is to keep experimenting and keeping things fresh, also staying in touch with the things that made you start drawing in the first place! Falling in love with the process, one that’s unique to you, helps with work stuff when you can’t do personal art

I love to talk tips! The anatomy is a combo of those japanese anatomy break down tutorials, and then from life/photos. Life drawing is the best but not super accessible for some people, so collecting photos of athletes and people with dif body types on pinterest is great cause they’re in dif poses.

Omg this manga would have been so much less insulting (even if it has, uh, other issues) if she was drawn like this instead of what they went with

I miss OG dA so much, the community there used to be so robust and it was so easy to find the art you like. I wistfully miss art memes and OCTs so much, they were such a great way to engage and have fun with art friends. The old school dA UI is seriously under-rated and let us do so many fun things!

And some lil progress shots cause I did a couple different poses to choose from and I enjoyed all of them, but was happy my client went with this one!

This is my rework of their first design for comic purposes so that I can get a good handle on it (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧

harmonious colour pallet you can try adding spot colour greens and browns to lean more natural tortoise colours, or violet if you want to go in the other direction. For beginners you can always reference other similar colour pallets to help you along your way!
