I have this planner with these absolutely ridiculous pages with like “motivational” quotes on them that are just these bullshit things like “Let your heart sing” and “Always believe in your dreams”
and like that’s always struck me as such meaningless bullshit, I’ve always hated those. They’ve never had that element that truly motivates me.
So, I took matters into my own hands and I made my own artsy motivational wallpapers. Enjoy.
have i seriously lived long enough to experience the resurgence of demotivational posters’s natural evolution into shitposting motivationals
art block is your brain telling you to do studies.
draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.
art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard
think of it as level grinding for your next work.
As a scientific illustrator- this is 100% true and going to review your basics will fix it every goddamn time. Not only does it keep your skills sharp, when you’re not emotionally invested in the final product of a piece, you relax and your brain makes more/better art juice for you. So, when you get back to that big/important piece? You’ll know what to do and how to do it.
Nothing in nature blooms all year round. Rest, and take care of yourself.
Request #4 Dragon to the amazing dude sienikori (check ‘em out). I know they love colours so I decided to throw in a bunch of ‘em! This still needs some tweaking and correcting but I need to move on to other things. Was a cool challenge.
Nalia in some of my country’s traditional clothes 😄 The fishing town in south Antiva where she was born I imagine it to be Thedas equivalent to my country, She incorporates some of this into her Inquisitor clothes like the blue scarves, white shirts, high waisted pants tucked under the knee, patterned sashes, belts and earthy colors along with Dalish designs
