My son today

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Sharing my free Xerox Pencil brush for Clip Studio Paint here! There are also dupes of it for Procreate and ToonBoom.

For an extra crunchy look like in the 2nd pic of my character Louise, rasterize the layer and then revectorize it.

A cropped screencap of a website that says "Looks Sketchy - Just sharing art things by Chance Kubesh" at the top. Below the site title is a subheader that says "Xerox Pencil - a brush for Clip Studio Paint" with an example drawing of an anime girl using the brush. It looks gritty as if photocopied. A cropped image of two images of a busty 90s anime-style lady, named Louise, using the Xerox Pencil brush. Yes, her back hurts.

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.
Text: "Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others. This image has three planes: (Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background). Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it. There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another. Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary? (image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him). Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances. (image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person). it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear. (image: a small round cactus in the foreground, and farther off a cowboy sitting on a similar cactus) Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space. (image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements) The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings). Rough your panel with plane elements in place first... ...then make/place a grid that fits your layout... ...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match. (image: a wanted man hiding against a wall while a cowgirl crossed the street, looking around). One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view. (image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element). *it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

When I was a kid my local library held a Dragon-Themed Bookmark Drawing Contest.
My slinky little sea-side darling sadly did Not win.
But I still think they're precious.

A digital painting of a pinky-lavender dragon basking in the sun on a rock next to the ocean. Their long sleek body and tail curls around the rocks as they snooze, sleepy smoke billowing from their nose, their eyes gently and blissfully closed. They're having, quiet possibly, the best, warmest, most comfortable nap a dragon could have.

Reposting because they still have a ways to go to meet the goal. This is horrifying bullshit on top of a lot of already horrifying bullshit.

okay so it's not /terrible/ per say but I did do it Very Fast*
and trying to erase as little as possible
just be quick and silly with it v-v)/

Anyway, Haggarty isn't very good at Pittily-Willow...
An unwound scroll reads: A tense game of Pittily-Willow A young man (non-human, more of a muppet-y llama; long snout, very fuzzy) looks nervously between the pile of game pieces in front of him and the pile in front of his opponent. (I explain the game in the thread below! for now just imagine it's like a reverse Jenga but with twigs and extra rules) He's in a tough spot, with a lot of pebbles and only a few sticks while his friend has a small mound of sticks and maybe three or four pebbles .. He's got to make some risky moves if he wants to win. Reaching down he picks up his longest stick and carefully inserts it into the large pile at the center of the table. Then, delicately as possible, he tries to hang a pebble from his newly inserted stick. The whole pile crashes down onto the table dramatically, twigs bouncing down to the ground and pebbles scattering. The crash is met by cheers and applause from the two players friends, while the looser covers his face with his hands and throws back his head in an extended groan.

If anyone gives you art, gift or you paid for it, please view it as more than just a picture.
Someone is giving you their time and a bit of themselves to you. Their thoughts and feelings are in it. They're vulnerable in front of you.
It is not something trivial. Think about it.
