Update - 3/2/2022

Hello everyone, I’m back with some good and bad news to share.  I was told building a PC would take a long time so I went out and paid to have my laptop fixed.  About Building a PC Good - My desktop that I was building is pretty much complete, yay! Bad - For whatever reason my Cintiq does not want to work with it. Stuck with a, “no signal” on it right now. So, I can’t draw currently on my desktop but I do have it built and everything else is working.  About Laptop Good - It’s fixed, at home, and it’s fast! Bad - Whatever they did to fix it wiped EVERYTHING from my computer. I have no art programs, no drawings, no documents, no nothing. I've finally got into my Microsoft account, it was giving me trouble for NO REASON, and there is nothing in recovery or backups.... So. :’) Everything is gone. So, what now? Well, I’ve re-downloaded SAI and all I have left is stuff from 2018. OTL I am beyond frustrated that I’ve lost my brushes, my drawings, my WIPs, and my writings but there’s nothing that I can do about it I guess. I did it to myself, I should’ve backed everything up. Let this serve as a lesson to everyone, BACK UP YOUR STUFF! Even though the tech issues are mostly gone, I am not done with my hiatus. I am feeling very discouraged and really have no motivation to do anything now. I’m going to continue my break, collect myself, and return when I’m ready. I will be reaching out to those who’ve made requests as well to let them know about everything as well. Thank you for your patience and understanding once again. - Tori

BOTW Champions + Descendents: Helping you after a bad day at work.

Notes: I mostly did this for myself because work is making my physically ill with stress and I’ve been distracting myself from it with LoZ. “OTL   Made this kinda quickly, so pardon any errors. Hope y’all enjoy and tysm for reading! Reader is gender neutral and implied Hylian. Warnings: None, but it’s a little spicy with Urbosa. Teba not included because he has a family asdfghjkl, we’re also gonna pretend Mipha isn’t head-over-heels for Link and that the house in Hateno has a kitchen on the inside. ___________________________________________________________ Ugh, work... A long day spent on your aching feet, running back and forth between helping your co-workers and dealing with rude customers. Tired didn't even begin to describe how you felt by the end of the workday. You take painful, throbbing steps forward to you and your lovers shared home. You trudged on, finally reaching your destination. A small smile growing on your lips, knowing full well you would find solace in your special person as soon as you opened those doors.

How I draw kisses!

A quick tutorial/cheat sheet on how I draw kisses!! I’m going to assume you already know how to draw a head and how to angle it, because that’s an entire procedure in itself. I’m going to focus on mainly the lips and also try and tackle some common mistakes when you’re first starting out. 

Pursing the lips

So this is boring but crucial. If you don’t purse, their is no real kiss (take notes) bc placing your lips on top of someone else’s is not how you kiss… The most important part are the corners of the mouth, especially from the side view, because that’s what changes the most. 

The actual kissing yeee

Let’s start do a basic side view kiss on the lips. And believe it or not, I think this one is the hardest!  

Think about which parts of the face are going to be in front of the other! This can take some time to get the hang of, but once you get that down it’s easy. Also, focus on getting the heads at the right distance and angle. A common mistake is drawing them too close. 

The Lightning Shape: 

Still keeping in mind which part of the line is “Red’s” upper lip and which part is “Blue’s” lower lip, play around with the shape of the lightning. Very subtle changes can have a very strong impact! I usually go by feel, so take your time, but here are some things to look out for: 

Details squishing etc.

So yeah once the lightning shape looks good, I usually add details and squish parts of the face that will touch. Which usually includes the noses, but from this angle they won’t squish unless you intend on making nice big noses <3. By now it should look something like this: 

You don’t have to add the corners of the mouth! I usually do when I want to show that the character is smiling. 
One technique used a lot in anime/manga + other cartoony art styles, is fading lines where two soft-ish objects press hard against each other. The picture above explains it. 

Common mistakes

Getting down the crucial kissing part of fanart is hard and you will mess upp SO MANY TIIIIIIMES, but you learn from your mistakes, so don’t be discouraged. There are some things though that I frequently see when people draw kisses that makes it look awkward and stale, many of which I used to do myself. Here are some examples:

Try your best to avoid these. Most of the mistakes have little to do with the lips and more to do with the angle of the head. So getting that down before you move on to the lips is important. 

¾ view Kissing

There are not a lot of angles where you actually see the lips meet (or at least not that I can draw…). Depending on how the heads are placed in relation to each other, you may or may not see the lips in a ¾ view. The way I have demonstrated is done in a way that the nose will bump into the other’s upper cheek. 

Aaand that’s about it! These things will make more and more sense the more you draw them. At first it can seem very hard with so many things to keep track of, and it is, but practice makes perfect! 
Rule of thumb: does the angle and position of the heads make sense? How are the lips going to align? What parts of the face are going to be in front of the other? How much will the lips purse? And finally, what is going to squish? 

Thank you for reading! 😘

(☞゚∀゚)☞ now draw kisses

I will continue to build upon this list as time goes on. For now, I hope you find something useful!

Do you do matchups? If you do can a get a pokemon sw&sh matchup?

I'm about 5'6, kinda chubby, got short fluffy half pink half blue hair and I wear big square glasses. I mostly wear stuff like black ripped skinny jeans and oversized pink or black hoodies. My love language is touch and gift giving. I like when my partner is taller than me as I'm insecure about my height and wish I was shorter. I am very cuddly and clingy. I get jealous easily and I'm very short tempered. My pokemon team would be a mix of ghost types and fairy types. Oh and I'm genderfluid

I match you with... Gordie, the Rock-type Gym Leader!

Sorry for the delay!
