hey man what's up

i use krita. thanks for coming.

i appreciate the fact you think that i'm good enough to get advice from in that regard.

i started drawing "seriously" at the age of 15, and have just been doing it ever since.

one thing that's definitely helpful towards rapid improvement is to have in mind a specific image or project you want to do, and learn what you need to do to make it happen. this is the fastest way i've found to picking up the necessary skills you need to be "good", and it really applies to any skill in general. additionally, don't limit yourself -- another great way to get really good at art is to pick up other hobbies and draw inspiration from things outside of the thing you're trying to draw.

at the end of the day, the biggest thing i can say is it really does boil down to just doing it a lot.

below are a list of resources i have referenced a lot throughout the years. the advice is solid and have really helped me to develop my style.

• [ Marco Bucci (YouTube) ]
• [ Sinux (YouTube) ]
• [ Painting Carmy in the style of J.C. Leyendecker | Step by step Tutorial using Artrage Vitae ]
• [ The Cult of Done: How To Get *Started* ]
• [ Painting & Art Style - with Batman ]
• [ Iterative Drawing - The Fastest Way to Improve ]
• [ 4 Time-Saving Tips (from a guy who spent 13 YEARS drawing a comic) ]
• [ Hack Your Brain With Elaborate Coping Mechanisms ]

i do! shoot me an ask over on my contact page, and if i like it, i'll draw it up. no promises it'll get done though.

best kinds of requests:

• short, sweet, to the point
• related to a topic, character, or subject i've shown to be interested in
• isn't just a commission request :^]

check my commission page! if they are, just fill out the form, and i'll get back to you if i'm interested!

you can use my characters for anything you want to. my only request is you let me see what you've done. B)

yes.

my only caveat is that if it's currently early access, please don't repost it until it's been made public. people are paying for that, so it's unfair to them to just leak it, with that in mind.

yes.

funny :)

patreon's draconian policies and the continual looming threat of always being banned for making the type of content i do have made me realize that even attempting to integrate that shit into my site isn't worth it for a microsecond. i very highly recommend that if (YOU) are still using patreon, you should stop at the earliest possible convinience, or in the VERY LEAST have some alternative sites set up.
