To all my ARTIST friends out there
9 years ago
Now, this isn't going to be one of those "I'm a bad artist" journals. This is not anything negative towards myself
But there is something I'm going to say which goes with the main intentions of making this journal
Most of my time in my life, that I've spent drawing. I have been the guy who always tries learning how to do things myself. I guess with the fact that I have Autism and such, I've been afraid of I guess asking help from people. My best guess of why I've been like that, is that I don't want people to see that I always need helping with things. Just afraid of being seen as dependent to everyone.
Never in my time involved in this fandom, have I ever asked for help, advice or criticism about my artwork until maybe a month ago during a stream. I found it somewhat really helpful.
So now I here to ask any of my artist friends (or those who aren't, but know a bit about different aspects of art).
Do you have any advice or criticism about my artwork, or anything you'd like to see me try in future?
I'm especially open to any constructive criticism.
But nothing negative or derogative though. Lately I've been trying to recover from a particular low point. I'm fortunate to be currently in good spirits right now, so I do not want that to be diminished. If you do, the comment will be deleted and you will be blacklisted/blocked. Because I have no time or patience for disrespect at the moment.
One of the things I might mention in particular, is if you have any advice about anything to do with anatomy, please feel free to say something. It's been something I've been thinking a lot about lately.
I'm a freehand drawer, but I want to be more organised and better planned out. I've tried looking up anatomy sheets and stuff, and tried to used some of those methods. But most of the time, mainly due to my Autism, it goes over my head, and I can't draw it as well.
Like, drawing free hand works better for me, but its soooo messy, and it takes so long to sketch up positions and clean it up to look right amidst all the scribble. Autism doesn't come with the complete package for coordination and motor skills. So accuracy with hand-to-eye coordination stuffs me up big time XD
This is why I don't stream myself during the sketching process. I want to show people but I don't want people to see that. It would make me look absolutely unprofessional with all the mess. Also, if I tried looking at other artist's anatomy sheets during the streams in attempt to be more planned and quicker, I don't know if that would be seen as plagerism or anything like that.
So if anyone as any constructive advice or criticism on anything, particularly with what I just mentioned. Please do so. If you want to give me any anatomy or other tutorial things, please make sure that it's not too complex for me. I'm don't know much art terminology and I can sometimes be simple minded. So I may not understand totally what you give me
Any help would be greatly appreciated ^.^Current Working List - 30th of January, 2022

As far as things to try, maybe some painted looking shading (fur fluffy fur or such) ? I don't think I've seen you do it tho i could be blind. Takes a bit to figure out how the brushes work and such but it's something that is easy ish to figure out on ones own, it's alot of throwing brush strokes at the canvas and seeing what it looks like.
Know that autism feel, aspergers here pfff.
