personally with all the suise & rose content i am currently enjoying the concept of secret suise/rose that midge then finds out about and gets horrifically jealous of but cant communicate that so just breaks their friendship

this is for exactly 4 people

So I forgot to sometimes advertise my patreon but if you like my work and want to see some of my nsfw + monthly illustrations (that are voted on my all £4+ patreons) please join!

supporting me here means i can spend time curating my own very niche artwork and comics, currently im working on a jodi x farmer (stardew) comic that was just meant to be the prelude to some spicy action but has now developed feelings (oops)

if i may ask, how do you feel about people referencing your art and studying your style when trying to teach themselves how to draw?

hi sorry i never responded to this! i read it while i was busy and had some time to mull it over.

while im very flattered ppl would use my art as a study i think i would discourage it not bc of anything to do with copying any artists style or "stealing" in some way but because my art has a lot of mistakes!! studying my art is already distorting the subject matter by a factor of one and if this is a "how to draw" stage, there are far better ways to spend your time studying (still life, life drawing etc things that are directly from subject matters) than my own work

even as a second step away from subject matters i would use masters studies not my own work, and while this obviously depends on what you feel you goals of your work are (realism, draughtsmanship, cartooning etc) studying a broad range of styles and artists will give you way more knowledge than if you stick to JUST what artists who do the work you want to emulate or get close to do.

so that is to say, while im perfectly happy with ppl using or studying my art (very flattered actually!!) i don't think its actually a great tool in the learning how to draw stage, more when you've got grasps of fundamentals and can more easily pick out why i might make certain decisions rather then simply copying them or how i do a particular technique (like capturing likeness, or colours)

baiscally if anyone comes out with bad anatomy from studying my work its not my fault!!!!!!! this is my disclaimer!!!!

i was gonna include mannerism (the long baby jesus artists) in this answer because in my head for some reason i have them as an example of studying from previous paintings vs real life (as a counter movement to the renaissance) but i literally cant find a citation for this so idk where i got that idea.

btw if you ever send me a nice ask and i dont reply its bc i like to keep them in my inbox and look at them i really appreciate them <33333

Hi! Your art is such a inspiration to me! could you make a tutorial on how you end up getting these colors here in the shading? Thanks!
