Whahapppun? Lemmie explain!

To summarize, I've been going through a bit of a change recently and I also haven't been able to finish anything I've started. I've compiled some of my work here for a personal progress update.

I'm in unknown territory.


I've been feeling trapped by my "signature" art style and obsessed with posting everything I draw. The moment I stopped, I noticed some improvement both in my actual art skill, and my attitude towards practicing. If I keep more things private, the pressure of feeling like some forced art influencer is lifted.

My main goal is to understand the 3D forms of the human body so that my skills won't hold back the expressiveness and poses of my characters.

My secondary goal is to expand my understanding of coloring and shading, since up until this point I've been drawing and coloring in an unrealistic style. Doing more painterly style artwork has made me feel so free, but it also made me realize how little I know about this artwork aspect. (As you can tell, I really focused on line art for a long time.)

I quite like expressing myself in this new style, and while you'll see my other one too, this one may appear more regularly in the future!

Silent Contemplation - Subject: Unitas (OC)

Krita Test 1 from yesterday! I drew REALLY SLOWLY. Had to switch shortcuts around too.

Things I played around with:

- adjusting sketching pen

- layers and blending modes

- adding values

- GRADIENT MAPPING

Deep inside ( hey sorry, i've been really slow with my comic, i didn't really know how to push things up, cuz it was kinda hard for me to make up something, so im just going to focus on other doodles that i want to draw )

Chat, I'm on the discovery page

I won't lie, I saw this a few days ago, but I had to really let it sink in. THAT'S ME? FEATURED ALONGSIDE AWESOME CREATORS??? Someone pinch me

I've had so much fun being on this platform, thanks for all the support!!

I decided to draw Chiaotzu for this week's Dragon Ball themed #FanArtFriday.

Watching a tutorial on how to use Krita's animation feature really helped 🙏✨

I just downloaded Krita and I've been messing around with the program for a little bit now. I'm most excited about the animation feature now that I'm animating more than I used to! Hopefully, I can figure out everything I need to know to use this thing
