I don't usually comment on YT videos, but I wanted to say that your Spilled Ink channel has inspired me to get back into art after an 18 month art block. I love watching your process. This video in particular sparked the idea for my Inktober 2024 challenge-draw one of my characters in other artists' styles. Thank you both for your honesty in your videos. I appreciate that sometimes you don't like your art, force yourselves to work outside of your comfort zones, and offer each other positive, constructive criticism. I think a lot of us struggle to stay positive when every piece isn't great, but listening to you two encourage each other and your viewers to keep going really helps a lot! Side note: Emily's Tite Kubo and Junji Ito pieces were spot on!!
Maybe I am more of a dino nerd than I thought... In other news, the Houston Museum of Natural Science has fossilized Triceratops skin on display. Evidence on the skin shows that it likely had quills like a porcupine
My pro tip for hands, look at your own hands, it's shockingly easy to get down, only issue is when you need to do other kinds of hands, but when that happens, nothing that light adjustment can't solve
This makes me think of how I don't believe I have my own personal artstyle, because it feels like I draw a bunch of random things without a distinct look to them. It's kinda been that way for a while
3 years ago is outdated!? Really!? That's recent. Saying 5 years is outdated is stretching it, saying 3 years is pulling it apart. Taylor Swift!? In Japan? I'd would think that be the place to escape her.
Daidus is correct for using fashion magazines as a reference, since Hirohiko Araki has done that so much while drawing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. What a legend
