Happy holigays from the one and only cat lesbian!

Catradora College:

Adora it’s trying really hard to have a normal college life, but magical swords and weird roommates are making it impossible. Also, if only the choosen one or whatever can see the sword, how come Catra has it now?

Lil’ AU for stress relief. Feel free to use the idea as much as you want.

WOMAN HOT

yeah..

I LOVE THIS

i got bored so i thought i’d share some art tips ‘cause why not!!

- start with a sketch. seriously no artist i’ve ever met starts a drawing with lineart

- construction lines like boxes and circles are a godsend and the more you use them the more you’re able to make different body types that are proportional. eventually you’ll be using them less and less as you commit different body types to memory

- study some realism first because it’s a good way to build skills in lighting and proportions. this doesn’t mean you can only draw realism obviously, but having that knowledge does help for future reference

- anime is a valid style and fuck anyone who says otherwise

- originality is a myth. take ideas and inspiration from other artists, movies, whatever and build your own style from that. it’s gonna take time but it’ll come i promise

- use references if you don’t know how to draw something. as long as you don’t trace it or claim it as your own, you are totally valid if you look at other poses online for how to draw something. if it’s heavily referenced just mention + credit where you got the pose from

- don’t be afraid to ask artists for tips and tricks. personally whenever someone asks me about brushes n stuff i get super excited and am like “yes here and here and here” and i’m p sure other artists feel the same

- flip!!! your canvas!!!!! you’ll hate it at first but it really does make your drawings 1000x better i promise

- try not to shade too much with black ‘cause it looks muddy. there are some exceptions, like light diffusion and differences in lighting, but if the object is colorful or around something colorful try to shade in a darker color similar to that one

- don’t be like @staff. learn basic color theory

- watch!! tutorials!! and speedpaints!!

- color dodge is so good for glowing. seriously. those glowy effects i use? all color dodge. it highlights the saturated colors while casting the rest in shadow

- overlay is your best friend

- use multiply for shading if you’re not sure what colors to use

- use many many layers, there is nothing worse than doing something wrong and messing up the whole thing trying to fix it because you don’t have a different layer for it

- draw what you want. no rush. no pain. it’s for you. it doesn’t have to be perfect

- practice practice practice!!! drawing is a skill, anyone can learn. y’all should see my drawings three years ago. it’s all practice.

- there’s this weird culture around filling up your sketchbook with only clean drawings and stuff which is, uh. bullshit. your sketchbooks can have whatever mess you want. that’s why it’s called a sketchbook and not a masterpiece book. do whatever you want

- don’t feel discouraged if your art doesn’t get as much attention. time zones + filters + a lot of things may be a factor and it doesn’t mean you’re not good

- don’t compare yourself to other artists unless you’re looking to learn from them because everyone’s style and level is different and you won’t get anywhere if you feel bad because you think you’re “not good enough”

- “not good enough” is also bullshit btw, art is fluid and creative and the standard is whatever you want it to be

- ignore cringe culture that should be abolished immediately anyways

- you don’t owe anyone anything. you do you.

- if someone tells you you can’t draw something, that’s a perfect motivation to draw lots of that thing to spite them

- drawing is supposed to be fun. if it’s super stressful for you, it’s okay to take a break

- experiment!!! there’s so much you can do for art, don’t be afraid to try new things!!

- ily you’re valid

- keep drawing, i believe in you

these are so cute!

Guest art by @polyquestria for an ask that got accidentally deleted by yours truly that said “How about an image of Twilight Sparkle in a polygamous relationship with five random mares who were chosen to wield the Elements of Harmony like her? One of them could be Treehugger. “

I love it! ;)

Just a simple PSA

DAMN, CATRA 💞💓💖💕💗

THEY REALLY WENT ALL OUT HUH MS KITTY IM LOVE YOU

(video cred to kutecatra on twitter :))

Yeah, sexuality is a complex bitch, I say that i'm a lesbian but I have been attracted to like, 3 men in my life (and idk, I don't think that's enough to call myself bisexual y'know?) So yeah people, pls don't take that seriously sexuality, is complex and its not always specific

yeahhh like, i love all girls. For girls I don’t have a type. 

I have a really specific type of men that I like and I would totally date someone like that. I mean someone muscly and taller than me HAHAHA Idk i just don’t like skinny boys because i feel like i’m seeing my self in a mirror and that makes me uncomfortable. I think is also because i like superheroes and i would date someone who look like one. 

And ofc i would date a non binary or gender fluid person <33 

is there such a thing as a fluid sexuality? like gender fluid but for sexuality. like some days i feel lesbian and other days, i feel aro?

abrosexuality!! that's when a persons sexuality constantly changes/fluctuates :0

I MADE A GIANT MASHUP EXPRESSION MEME!!

NONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS ARE MINE.

They all belong to their respective owners, written on the pictures and linked here: @the-adorable-lua @capochiino @rosswelm @crashandburrnart @ghostlybunns @maxxeruz-moved @socky-senpai @avcris @cherideer @the-toybox-general @platinumft @straw6unny @s0urur0 @kojoika

I chose these ones because I thought they were the best after scrolling for a good hour. I did some editing (resizing, naming, and adding credits) but nothing more!! I just wanted to make a big and varied expression meme with different styles to choose from if anyone else likes to do that. Feel free to reblog but PLEASE KEEP THIS ON TUMBLR.

Send a name (of expression meme), letter+number, and character to my inbox ♪(´▽｀)

did you guys know you can just draw bad if you want?? like u can just have fun w it and get proportions wrong and make the head too big like you can JUST do it nobody is gonna arrest you

Last, but not least, redesign for Balt McConnel—formerly Keithan! 

A maned wolf-thylacine, often mistaken as a “fox w/ a… rat’s tail?" Hard-worker w/ a heart of gold—always eager to work whenever he has to & when others ask. He doesn’t know the definition of “taking a break.”

And a comparison between his old & new design!

I got bored. Thats all.

hahahahahaha

you've probably already gotten some questions about this, but can I inquire as to your drawing process? i recently discovered that i may have been working against my own thought process in drawing and that it was hurting my ability to create, and your own work seems somewhat similar to the way i naturally go about making things, so i was curious. thank you for your time!

alright *cracks knuckles* lets give this a go

My process changes pretty much every 2 milliseconds so im just gonna try to sum it up as of right now (and i doubt it will be helpful but dammit i am gonna try)

I work from some really ugly sketches, especially now that im trying to get the hang of composition. More than anything, I think I just try to find some potentially interesting shapes from the very start, because there’s no way for me to spend actual time on a thing without it. I latch onto well-defined areas of light and dark like my life depends on it.

Here’s some of my recent sketches and thumbnails just to really drive home the point that I just don’t give a shit

Lineart is my mortal enemy (surprise), and so I take any kind of lines I put down more as a friendly suggestion than anything else. Sketching is really just a mapping tool to slap color on top of.

In the rare cases I do refine a sketch, it is only to better figure out what it is im doing. Then I promptly proceed to ignore it, and go straight to filling in a silhouette that feels good with my most recent love: the polygon lasso tool in photoshop. Then I lock that baby down and uhhh improvise

Here’s some hopefully slightly more helpful examples of my background study process:

It hopskips over the parts where I try to figure out shapes (because I tend to work on a single layer im sorry making process gifs of finished pieces is hard), but regarding my process in terms of planning out composition, light and color, it is pretty representative.

I start with the chicken scratch thumbnail, map out the major values and refine them into some interesting shapes. Then I go over with lines to figure out the 3-dimensional space, complete with some gosh dang perspective lines. I get some base colors going, and then I just go wild overpainting that using square and triangular brushes, and the polygon lasso tool.

The most important realisation for me the last year was that I don’t actually have to render stuff. The goal of my final overpainting is to reduce everything into seperate, well defined parts, because that is what fascinates me the most with visual art: abstraction and stylisation of light.

So yeah, I hope this was at least a little bit what you were looking for. If you’re stuck, go embrace what is most enticing to you in your actual art process technically speaking. It has completely changed the way I approach mine.

Here’s some bonus gifs bc why not:

the only day you can reblog this

Looking forward to it all!!

I posted a long-ish journal on my DA that was an end of the month update that featured just about everything, but since it’s past September I’ma just post the most interesting part of that journal here!

“If you wanna take down Adora, you have to go for the heart.”

Okay but. What if someone else uses that same tactic in the future to try and get to She-Ra/Adora, but this time Catra is the “heart” that they go for. And Catra laughs, thinking that there’s no way Adora still cares enough about her for it to work, but Adora chooses to surrender rather than risk Catra getting hurt and that’s how Catra realises that she truly does still matter to Adora even after everything that’s happened.

HOLY FUCK

Catra!!!!
