💭 thoughtful...
My third drawing took a while to come out because I had a full-on mental breakdown over it 🥲… But hey, it has a happy ending !! Lemme tell you about it ! 🙂↕️
Everything was going "fine" until I got to the mouth. And… yeah, it was just awful. I still don’t know how to handle Sans’s "grin" (I totally get why some artists just ditch it lol), especially since I wanted a neutral, thoughtful expression. I kept redrawing it over and over, getting frustrated, and not understanding Erineas's advices she gaves me (ily so much sis thank you for your support).
I felt stupid. Incompetent.
I was sooo ashamed, was I really struggling this much just to draw something ugly !? Insecurities & impostor syndrome kicked in hard, bro. I cried and ignored the drawing for a few days.
But then, I talked to some IRL friends : one of them is an artist, and the other is like me, wanting to improve but struggling with self-doubt. After a long conversation, I felt better.
No, I’m not stupid or incompetent. I’m learning. My brain just hasn’t fully grasped the artistic logic yet. And that’s okay, that's NORMAL baby !!
Deep breath in… deep breath out… and back to work. After tons of tweaking, looking at more refs and some music, I’m finally happy to post it and satisfied with the result !
So yeah, don’t be hard on yourselves. Give yourself time, freedom, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You’ll only be prouder of yourself in the end ! 🤎✨
Hi cuties ~ 🤎
Here’s my second attempt at drawing Sans 💙 ! My lineart looks much cleaner, but mmmh... I think I’d like to try something more sketchy or simpler next time.
I learned how to place some shadows with @erineas 's help! But I’m not satisfied with the style, so I’m going to try something else next time (something smooter, perhaps ?) !
Thank you for your support ! 🫶 Note : Feel free to drop me your reviews, and even corrections (by text or with red lines etc). I know it can sounds rude to do it but don't worry, as a beginner, I'll be more than happy to learn from my mistakes ☺️ Especially about shadding and folds !
Beginner artist here ✨
Wooow, for Christmas, I got a little screenless graphic tablet and Clip Studio Paint ! I’m finally going to draw, guys, it’s crazy !!
Here are my very first two tablet drawings hehe, our boys ~ ! I’m super open to feedback ! ☺️
It feels so weird to draw, honestly... I really want to draw my OCs, your OCs, and especially the entire UT/DT cast ! Wish me luck, hehe !
I’ll start drawing Esha a bit later, for now, I’m practicing with rounder and simpler characters.
🤎A huge thank you to all the amazing artists who inspired me to start this journey : @erineas @krk-wa @caycanteven @scrambledmeggys @mothiepixie @inkz123 @woolpen @midlabs and much more 🤎 And thanks to @erineas for the encouragement and the tips on Papyrus’ sweater folds 😭🙏
