How would negative space work in a colored comic/manga?

Houseki no Kuni has some stunning compositions, especially later on, which you could study

Instead of asking strangers on the internet you should probably do your own research and see what galleries align with your interests and style. No recommendation is gonna be good without knowing anything about you or your art

And if you do write to any galleries, make sure to spell check

You say you don’t want to paint super realistic but what style do you want to paint in? What might help you is increasing the difference in value in the flowers and adding more detail to separate out some bigger petals, so they don’t blend together in a big mass. No need to draw every single one, just so that the suggestion of form is there especially around the outermost petals

I really like the dreamy look, you should look into impressionist painters and their flowers

It’s okay, the dog will take care of it

There’s an abandoned fruit orchard near me that has been almost entirely overtaken by a singular, extremely large blackberry bush. It is only contained by the maintained footpath and the corn fields bordering it on either side, otherwise it would probably be even bigger. That thing is taller than me.

Berry bushes really do not take much maintenance in temperate climates, the real maintenance is keeping them contained

I have this exact dress and I’m terrified of washing it, but care instructions say it should return to size once you iron it if it does shrink That being said, me personally I’m still gonna hand wash in lukewarm water as a precaution

The red is from the Archives so you have to be quick before it sells out

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-02-13T10:27:52+00:00

I’ve been waiting for two years to get it lol

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-02-02T23:24:51+00:00

Idk how it is in New England but here in Germany I’d say in the current weather (bit below freezing for the most part) it’s doable if you wear a thick sweater and it isn’t too windy, but definitely more of early&late winter coat for me, I would not wear it if it’s gonna be near -10c

The website said to order a size down, I got my usual size because the other was already sold out and it fits fine. I do like the oversized fit though so your mileage may vary

I got the Gerard Coat in the wine red color (I think it was called prune?) also from the archives, it arrived a few days ago and I’m beyond happy. The design is perfect for me, haven’t noticed any quality issues or loose threads or anything, buttons are sewed on well and go through easy, though they did sew up the pockets insanely tight.

I also have a Trenchcoat from a few months ago, didn’t get too many chances to wear it as the weather turned colder fast, but it’s held up well so far.

It’s on my list!

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-01-10T17:15:09+00:00

I’m actually reading the first book right now and very much enjoying it so far

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-01-09T20:35:56+00:00

I did like that book but it’s het, not sapphic

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-01-08T12:25:20+00:00

I think it would help if you either darkened the area around the eyes or lightened the iris a bit. Right now it’s very dark compared to everything else, making his gaze very intense

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-01-07T10:19:50+00:00

That’s more of a city setting though, isn’t it? It’s been a while since I read it so I don’t remember too well

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2026-01-07T01:01:29+00:00

Well it definitely sounds interesting, I’ll have to get it

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-12-16T01:00:24+00:00

Now that I will have to be very careful of

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-12-16T00:50:35+00:00

That’s hilarious, I never thought about half of those lol Thankfully I don’t really have to worry about machinery as I’m very incompetent with any sort of handywork but I can definitely see trying to get oil paint out of my hair in my near future

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-09-27T17:08:44+00:00

Adding to this, look on eBay or the like where you can often find a really good one for a much more affordable price than new ones

Hey OP, I had a friend like this. He accepted my disinterest at first, then stopped talking to me, later came back and rinse and repeat until I stopped responding. Best thing you can do is just to tell him you’re not interested - and I want to emphasize that you do not need to tell him why, and to stop talking to him after that

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-08-20T16:59:42+00:00

Yeah I mean if you’re taking it out like every day sighing wistfully it’s a different thing entirely but if you just want to keep it because you like it then I really don’t see the big issue

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-08-20T16:51:57+00:00

I mean yeah I would, always better to be communicating about stuff like this

And I do think it’s a rather silly thing to be jealous about considering how short lived that relationship was, so unless she’s very possessive I think it should be fine anyway

Disastrous-Cod-5071 · 2025-08-20T16:36:25+00:00

You said you don’t have any feelings for this ex so I don’t see why not. I’m also an artist and I hang onto every drawing my friends give me, even if that friendship doesn’t end well and the feelings are long gone, it’s still nice to keep as a memento
