hello been a minute :) i did this as part of a challenge for a small art community i am in (not on here). i am sorry to not have a scanner because i am sure some detail gets lost but oh well. many mistakes made as usual but it still helped me learn a lot and i had been wanting to do another piece involving marginalia so it was a good opportunity.
Shows impeccable art
…many mistakes made…
That’s why I’ll only draw doodles. I look at my stuff and go “yeah, that’s nice, got what I wanted”. That relentless drive and self-critism that fuels true artists is absent in me.
doodles are wonderful too, i think most if not all artists would agree it’s important to be able to let loose and play creatively without getting obliterated by perfectionism. they are fun & also very helpful for experimenting, i love a doodle!
They are, in fact I’m using them to fight perfectionism in other areas in life.
This is just delightful. I would hang a print in my office.
❤️ thankyou!
First feeling I copped was being reminded of some art from a book that terrified me such that I could never finish it, as a youth - Le Guin’s “Tombs of Atuan”. Delicious.
Also reminds me just a hair of both Richey Beckett and Jon Dyer Baizley, for different reasons (apples in the corner for the latter, especially). Delicious.
Shits dope.
❤️ thankyou! i enjoy those artists a lot, plus much of my influences come from pre-raphaelite, art nouveau and the book illustrations i grew up with so it makes me very happy that these things are being picked up on. it really means a lot to me!
If you’ve got any cool stuff you’d feel like sharing, my eyeballs would love to drink it in 🤙 influences I mean, but def your own work in any similar directions too!
Edit: fuck it let’s make it cooler lol, I could swear I’ve got a signed Beckett or Baizley I never did anything with that I’d trade for a print of this if ya felt like it
Is this part of a larger series?
not at this time, no. i pretty much only do one-offs, though some drawings seem to live together in a way. i have embryonic ideas for bigger projects but it is a lot for me and my adhd ass to think about tackling especially given i take so long to draw. thank you for asking though!
Grandma is never happy till you rolling out of the door instead of walking
Reminds me of berserk
I feel like it reminds me more of the Blasphemous Videogame.
i don’t really know how to respond to that because i don’t know if that is a good or bad thing. sorry if i fucked up. :/
It is a good thing. Berserk is a beloved manga series.
Personally I got more of a tarot card vibe. If I had wall space I would definitely buy a print.
ah ok, i do have a big gap in knowledge when it comes to manga, i think i am only familiar with Junji Ito really. i would like to explore it more though. thankyou!
Good thing
