I’m going to wait until I’ve finished playing with the materials I already have but I kind of want to try acrylic gouache now….

my coffee went stone cold bc I forgot it was there when i was doodling 😭

If i dont post anything and leave this at the top of my page maybe i’ll remember next time ahaha

i told myself i was going to start tagging things for my sense of organisation and completely forgot the other two times i posted, rip lol

I’ve got no idea how to to write the vocal “tuh” that’s more like a breath of air. A really lazy not-laugh laugh. :’D using ‘uh’ seems too strong but ‘eh’ isn’t perfect either. maybe I could’ve used “Th” but I thought it looked confusing lol

/ramble, doesn’t matter just thinking aloud lmao

at a fancy do #sketchins

holy shit lmao shfjgngf

Thank you so much 🥺 !!

I’ve been trying to branch out/practise/experiment more to get out of the ‘stuck’ feeling I’ve been having recently haha, so I feel happy to hear that ;n;

Sketch & Lines

You’re welcome, I hope you have fun with them! ;v;

Ahh gosh thank you, well I planned to make stuff until my marker paper or the markers themselves run out, so there’ll be a few haha!!

Omg 🥺 I’m honoured

aaa thank you! ;o;
him…

(I think a lot of the tutorials I tried to look at like on youtube for example, they had very soft blendy styles bc they use the brushtip markers - but almost all of my markers have very hard nibs and don’t blend so well so that was where I had to figure it out on my own haha)

I did watch some timelapses while looking for insp last year when I started using them again, but I nothing clicked until I started just playing around?

Recently I did little studies where I tried to match colours to film/tv screencaps and that helped me to see what was possible by layering!!

thank you so much!!! ;n;

it’s ok anyway bc traditional is how i’m trying to learn to let go of this kind of thing/over-worrying on any single piece sjfkf

I remember I got really annoyed earlier when I did the colour practice on a separate piece of paper bc an eye i scribbled in 2 seconds flat to test colours on turned out better

Thank you 🥺

aa I don’t really know but I’ve been doing lots of gradual layering recently and testing everything on a spare paper first dhfjf

Ahh gosh, tysm!! ;o;

I love that thought aa

Thank you!! ;o;

Lias in markers

I wanted to try it, but I think A4 is too big to fully cover with markers, in retrospect lmao
