I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think, after seeing them at their most vulnerable, you wouldn’t be able to help falling in love with them.
OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„, BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)
1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly
2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting
since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground
(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)
3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!
practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway
OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT
As many of you have probably noticed, I am single. I have been single for a long time. While I have had many little things go on with people in the past couple years of my life, I haven’t been in a legitimate relationship for a long time, if I have been in one at all. Either way, every one of those “relationships” has ended in complete and utter failure, but I’ve come to realize why.
Every relationship I’ve had up until recently i have jumped right into. I never gave myself time to decide whether the feelings I have for someone are true or not, which ends in disaster. Since my last “relationship” I have stopped jumping into things and have given myself time to think about my feelings for those I have interests in.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only problem I face. Even after I realize the feelings I have for someone may hold the potential to create a long term relationship with that person , that other person must feel the same way about me.
While I realize that there are people who would want to date me, I don’t want to settle. I’m not trying to sound cocky by saying that either, it’s just that I know there are a few people out there who like me in a way I don’t like them. For a lot of us, there are people like that in our lives, we simply don’t realize it. The thing about relationships is that it’s easy to find one, but not to find one that matters.That’s something that applies to everybody.
Even if you there is someone in your life that you want that you will never get over and you believe you’d be settling if you went for anybody else, just wait a while. Someone will come along and show you that there are people who can win you over even more than that one person, you just need to hope that you’ll be able to find one who will hold the same feelings for you.
I know there are a lot of people in this situation who would jump right into a relationship at the first chance they got, but please think about it thoroughly before you do, because if you rush it someone could end up getting hurt in the end.
I’m apologize for shoving my poorly written words of advice onto your dash, it’s 9:42 AM, and I have yet to sleep. My mood has been up and down all night and i was just over thinking as usual.
Going to bed, have this junk one more time.
