Never seen/heard/read(?) this tma thing - tho your art looks cool so I might check it out - but what's the fear connected to it that you have?

i have (used to have?) domatophobia! i usually explain it by recommending the horror game Anatomy to people as i think it was one of the things that made me develop it (markiplier has played it if you’re interested)

i had a few straight up panic attacks and pulled a few terrified all-nighters during the first two seasons but i’m able to handle my fear in general so much better now. thank you/curse you Jonny Sims for making me become attached to the wretched door monster. it still really freaks me out a lot of the time but i’ve been losing less sleep and have been able to function a lot better in general

it’s a podcast, btw!! i REALLY highly recommend it. you can find it free on pretty much every platform that supports audio, and there are also transcripts [link] if you prefer to read

i love tma fandom urls because most of the time, it tells me a LOT about the person based on what they chose. especially those episode usernames. i have a sneaking suspicion that tumblr user mag-170 needs therapy. can you guess what tumblr user mag-101’s favorite character is? because i have an idea

i do think jonny succeeded in making an untwinkable monster this episode

edit: for the love of god. i’m saying he’s a BEAR not that he’s unfuckable. “twink” doesn’t mean “hot.” “thin and young-looking” isn’t the only way someone can be hot.

how do you determine your color palette...? color is something i have a lot of difficulty with and i really want to learn how to at least figure out a color palette 😅

i guess another way to phrase it is how did you go about learning color theory?

the number one most helpful thing i did for myself when teaching myself to color was to realize that every artist colors differently.

i already knew color theory in advance, i memorized every word i had been told throughout every highschool art class i had taken, but knowing the actual facts and knowing how to apply them are very different skills!

if you haven’t learned the facts of color theory, i highly suggest these two videos (thing 1) (thing 2). <- the most important part of watching those videos is to hold them in your head as facts. if watching them doesn’t make you necessarily understand how to apply them, that’s okay! these videos are to give you the skills to be able to study color.

for a simple example, when it comes to picking colors based off the mood of your piece, pretty much everyone knows that blue will make an image feel more sad and emotional. yellow feels happy, red feels angry, pink feels affectionate.

a great way to teach yourself how to APPLY mood through color is to go back to a drawing you’re already very proud of, and just mess around recoloring it. pick one thing you want to work on and try to use your color choices change the emotional effect of the piece.

it’s incredibly helpful to use a piece that you have already colored, preferably one you’re the most proud of. this is so that you aren’t stressing yourself thinking about things like proportion or composition, and allows you to think solely about your color choices.

here’s my example! for this example, my goal was to make this one feel far more bleak than my original finished piece.

i achieved this change by shifting the colors to all be more cold and desaturated, as well as making the blacks of his undershirt and tie look more washed out. most people associate cool colors with sadness, and dull colors with defeat. mixing those two makes the mood more bleak. color placement can also change a lot— for this version, i placed a lot of the blush color (which i desaturated significantly) higher up his face, which gives him a more horrified and thoughtful expression

once you’ve done exercises like this once or twice, a great way to decide how you want to color is to find out how other people pick their colors. one way to do this is color picking studies, and another is to watch youtube videos like this one where an artist explains their personal thought process while choosing colors.

if you’d like to know how i, personally, go about picking my colors, i would be happy to make a separate post outlining my process! it would take a pretty long time, though, because a lot of my process is to not leave things alone until i’m satisfied with how they look

the thing about being a self-taught artist is that everyone tells you that the way to get better is to “just practice,” but that’s not the whole story! art is a skill you have to build, and i’ve found the most effective ways to improve are to do studies, and to learn how to spot your mistakes and problem-solve until you can fix them.

i hope this was a good way to get you started on learning how to internalize and apply color theory! the more you study, and the more you learn, the better your results will be

I think it's really nice you thought you could create an unfuckable and untwinkifiable monster, and I always think people should dream big, but I think it might be time to put this one away.

Like, mate, cmon. Ive been doing this for a long time now, and I made my peace with the monsterfuckers years ago. Am I trying to make an unfuckable monster? No. Cause I’m not an idiot.

- assurance that your blorbos will not be mishandled by a group of rich people who don’t understand the hype

cons of drawing tma fanart:

- you will never escape the “is this bruno from encanto?” comments
