I have this peculiar combination of terrible self-esteem and a dap of perfectionism, so while i will work on something until i think it looks right, my expectations really aren't high at all, and therefore am i frequently positively surprised by the end result. :v

oh yeah also
See, I don't get that because my art quality takes a massive dip when I'm frustrated.
Anger and all its cheeky cousins (which includes frustration) have a tendency to ruin your focus and higher thinking, so naturally this makes drawing harder (unless you're at a "i can do this without thinking" skill level, in which case i'll consider you to be magical), as well as pretty much anything that doesn't involve hulking out and smashing. Ever heard a sensible debate between two angry people? :P

Also, i don't think it's as much about the intensity of emotions as it's about being in touch with them. I know at least one guy who says he's rather disconnected from his emotions, while i personally feel more like i'm haplessly floating around in the River of Feels. It's possible that i'm one of those HSP people, but it's also possible that i'm not. In any case, a strong connection to your emotions is typically good for "artsy" drawing, while the opposite is good for technical drawing. Of course, they're not mutually exclusive, and neither is impossible to do for anyone. IS IT NOT NICE?

It's got to do with emotions, atleast for me, like, the more intense they get the more easily will I switch to channel that shit onto paper mode. Now, this doesn't always result in something good, but more often than not I've been told that my best stuff came from these moments. It's kinda unrelated that most of my stuff is dark and depressing because I can do just the same with happy emotions, it's just that those have been somewhat more rare, and when they're intense I'd rather savor them while they last instead of throwing them out onto a piece of paper.
Though obviously, there's more to it than that, and certain styles and mediums lend themselves much more to an emotional approach than others.

In any case, here's something I've been noodling on for the past couple of weeks, it's been quite the piece for me and one that I've spent a relatively large number of hours on(alteast compared to most of my other stuff). It's gotten to the point that I'd call nearly finished, got some finishing touches to do, think up a proper background and fiddle with the various settings to make it look neater.

The idea for this came after I saw something similar in the shapes James Zapata was doodling during his demo at IFCC. I sketched it out several times but it just kept nagging at me to do it properly. In the end it deviates a lot from the original one but I don't think that's bad honestly, it just leaves me room to approach the idea again in the future :D

My 8 minute Drawception effort (2 minutes of googling).

Maybe not my best drawing, but the one I felt I did best under time pressure.

Caption was: "2 men point guns downwards." Glad I bothered to challenge myself with MIB, though the proportions never finished the process of becoming less horrible.

i recently started playing DnD, 5thEd. we don't play with miniatures but i thought it might be fun, so i went ahead and made our PC's

Made with wire, bandage tape, cork, tinfoil, a tin cupcake cup, toilet paper and other random bits of trash. i sculpted the faces of the chtulu worshiping warlock and half orc barbarian in a tiny bit of fimo. For the half-red-dragon priest of tempus i butchered a dinosaur

after i realized they were too big, and i couldn't do them so detailed or i would have trouble sculpting hordes of baddies and npcs, i tried a different approach

it's exam season now, though, so they're on hold for a while

I went to draw a dog for a project before realizing I didn't actually know how to draw dogs. So that's what I'm working on now.

Not exactly my best performance re: lines, but eh, i was tired and lazy. I just KNOW i've seen the close-up face of Zee Tee somewhere else, but i can't figure out where my brain took the idea from. :I

Eyebrow action is my specialty! B[
Also those are some really nice clouds, and they kind of make me want to do cloud studies as well, because clouds are cool. At least when they're not EVIL.

but instead of studying diligently, here's a messy swordsnaek drawing

Perspective is all over the damn place, but eh, it's a rare kind of drawing from me anyways. I basically don't ever draw things in cool action poses, partly because i always mess up the eyes. :v (and now it strikes me that i missed the side lines of his right eye and IT ANNOYS ME)

Do remember that clouds have fairly clear edges when the colors contrast. :3
This is awesome as much as all the other art here.

In the grimdarkness of the future there are only broken streets and places where houses should be. Also the streets glow for some reason.

I can take no credits. Like 90% of that thing is bugs.
