A Beautiful Scene Takes Place In The Old City Of Tenochtitlan, Where Two Mexica Princesses Kiss Under

hey guys quick reminder not to open discord links offering free gifts/nitro, even ones from your friends. i got this from a friend today and it looks pretty legit but it’s definitely a scam. my sister opened the link, and by the time she realized and tried to change her password, it had already locked her out. it also unfriends you from everyone in your friends list so it’s harder to quickly contact people after your hacked account sends the link to everyone you know, or to get back in touch with people if you lose your account. these are sneaky! don’t fall for em

A really good egg.

Hii! just found your blog nd your work is so beautiful and exquisite. It's delicate and the colors are so warming, I love it!! casually found an ask about college major and its helping me a lot, tysm for share your experience. I don't have the privilege to go to college but I'm working really hard for it!! Ur response gave me so much serotonin to keep going!! I just have one question, if you're okay with it ofc! How exactly you create good illustrations fast? I'm struggling a lot with this one

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad my college experience is helping you too. I love being a serotonin boost! 

A lot of learning to create good illustrations fast is having the pressure of working under a deadline. In college, I often had to complete 5 full paintings a week, on top of schoolwork and a 20-hour a week job.

You start to realize what to keep and leave out, like are somewhat forced to let go of perfectionism and just power through. But, here are some tips too! Some are style-specific, but they’ll at least give you a few ideas to pick and choose from!

Working with minimal layers (traditional or digital), this allows you to focus on doing 1-3 really good paintings that come together to create your piece, instead of thinking of, say, 20. This is style-specific, but if it helps my watercolor work is always a max of three layers!

Use a timer system (I like the tomato timer method)

Set specific work hours (I only give myself four hours a day, so it’s taught me to be really focused on efficient)

Create thumbnails first (if you’re making a colored piece, make them colored!) These are a lot quicker to complete and they work as a guide, so you can power through your final painting. They also help your illustrations look better composition-wise!

Use larger brushes (this is really helpful with watercolor). You can get super detailed even with a large brush, as long as it has a good point.

Keep practicing basics too! (I sometimes slack of this, but I did it a lot in college). The sharper your skills, the higher chance your first or second sketch will look how you want it to.

Thumbnail examples btw! First image is a thumbnail, second is the finished painting, third is the finished tarot card (some small digital edits made too). This and the timer method are the most important for helping me work quickly. 

I really hope you find this helpful! :D

P.S. If you want to support my artwork, you can buy dog tarot prints right here in my shop!
