Art Freebs

Technically female, but I would love if it was as andro as possible. <3 <3

[Mika]

I should probably try to do that one day, but I hardly have time and I'm also still drawing in the same style I've been using for years when I do draw.

Ka Lai
Okay!

@Mika
I think style doesn't really do much with improving? Like I see a lot of art that doesn't
really scream out great for a lot of people, but I think it's already good? Just need more
work with curves bc everything looks stiff.

Also if you want t change art styles I kind of think try looking at tons of work that you want
your art to be like, search for a common factor, then work on improving that. If the problem
is anatomy, which is actually still a huge prob with me, then try working on simplifying them.

[Ka Lai]

Yay, thank you! I'm super excited!

How long have you been drawing for?

[Oby]

Somewhen between 7 or 8?
Or maybe earlier idk?
I just draw a lot bc I used to not do anything except that.

[Ka Lai]

Oh, I see! That's pretty cool. owo; You're so good at poses!
I need to practice more, I think. xD

[Oby]

I'm not even sure if the poses I draw look correct :'D

[Ka Lai]

Hahaha, no, they're super cool looking. All of mine are kind of... they look okay, but they're boring. They just face the front with their arms to the sides. So they're all kind of robotic looking. xD

[Oby]

I still draw like that tho
I need to look at a lot of references for poses
unless if it's facing left or right :'D

Also

[Ka Lai]

Hahaha, but like, you can draw waving and hand action, and stuff! Mine is like... literally hands behind back/in pocket/not quite army pose. I should probably start using references. owo;;

Omg, I love love it! What program do you use? owo

[Oby]

I use sai bc I like coloring manually
Still trying to learn how to photoshop tho

[Ka Lai]

Oh, I see! Most people I know use Sai, actually. I use Fire Alpaca, but only because Sai doesn't work on Mac. ;__;

[Oby]

Fire alpaca is good though? o:
Like I used to use it bc I was more comfortable with inking there
but like now I usually don't do inking anymore :"D

[Ka Lai]

Yeah, but there are more tutorials on how to use Sai than Fire Alpaca. xD Every time I search up how to do something in Fire Alpaca, it gives me a tutorial on how to do it in Sai and I'm like, T___T

[Oby]

Is it kind of the same though? You just have to translate it through?
Unless if it's painting then idk .n.
