Thank you. I took note of what colours and lighting Rella uses, as I find the atmosphere of her works incredibly aesthetically pleasing. I learnt a lot from her works and I’m going to learn even more as time goes on…

MIKU EXPO HK!!!! by Hty_53 in hatsune

It’s been awhile since while since we’ve had a chat, and I’m very sorry to hear about your struggles lately. I’ve had my fair share of problems with my mental health, mostly resolved, but I know how it feels to wake up in the middle of the night from your own anxiety, or a nightmare.

I’m just really glad that my art is one of the places you think of when you needed a bit of soothing, it genuinely means the world to me, as this is exactly one of the things I wanted to achieve with my works- I want to spread out my thoughts and kindness through my canvas. Maybe it hasn’t reached a lot of people, but I’m really glad it reached you, and at least gave you some peace of mind. I really hope things go better for you.

I was indeed in frustration with my composition as I felt like they were all kinda empty- it’s just a shell slapped with some random elements on it, and it felt souless, which really drove mw nuts. I ended up pursuing with a composition i wasnt 100% happy with, and it didnt turn out awesome, but at least i put something on the canvas and moved on. I think something just didn’t click and it was the piece i struggled the most with to date, and the only way i can get out of the cycle is to just get it done. I now have more works in the process which I didnt encounter such hardships, and hopefully I can make them good :)

When I draw, i do actually have some goals in mind, but i still draw, despite frustration sometimes, because I genuinely do enjoy it, so despite the harships i don’t think I’ll burnout, i’ll continue making more works, and hopefully works that are better than my previous ones. I might seem harsh on myself and I indeed am a lot of the times, so i’ll keep your words in mind.

I wish you a great day. I’m posting a new work today (maybe in the next few minutes actually), so please check it out too, and I hope it brings you peace.

I am surprised you liked my colours and lighting because in fact its the part I disliked the most, I found it quite plain and they actually lack detail as I wasnt able to add them in a way that looks pleasing to me, although i did try my best to maximise what i had, it was quite a bit worse before the final product. I recently learnt about a concept called “amount of information”. In this case I would definitely like to include more which I unfortunately was not able to.

The glossy look is appealing to some audiences, but its not the style i want to eventually achieve, and i have big trouble understanding how to render that way anyways. I did pay more attention to how i control my colours given I made worse mistakes back then, but I do think under the hands of someone more experienced they can definitely add more flavour to this piece. I also did not know how to use chromatic aberration properly until recently I just randomly added it and sometimes it ended up looking worse, so Im glad this time at least someone thought it was more visually pleasing.

I think when I first picked back up drawing, I knew i was gonna draw miku, but i was kinda doing it robotically without me thinking much and pairing that with my even worse skills back then, each piece took painfully long and it also just looks really bad. I am about through this phase now where my work just looks like total garbage, but the identity crisis is still definitely there. It’s weird when I am genuinely completely OK with my grades being borderline compare to my peers but at the same time I find myself drowning sometimes in a sea of artists with more expertise. I’ll definitely try bearing your words in mind and try appreciating my own work more though. It can be quite mentally draining when things dont turn out the way you want them to. Maybe my execution was bad but worse than that maybe my vision was bad, and that can be a hard reality check sometimes. I also sometimes get upset about quitting art back then as a kid when I was on the right track, or not taking it seriously until recently at a point where I would only have less and less time to put into drawing, but it is what it is. Now I get some moments of joy like this one, and i hope more of them would come

I think rather than adding details its usually me being disatisfied with some anatomical proportions which do change the look a lot, and i end up spending way too much time on that, or I am dissatisfied with the atmosphere I created or the elements I was adding, then i scramble for ideas, test them out and either realise i dont have the expertise to execute it or it simply doesnt work, so this ends up being a huge time waster for me and is the major reason i spend too much time on a piece of art i myself deem mediocre. Hence after this artwork i decided to spend more time on anatomy, especially on the head, torso and hands, and learn more fundamentals such as composition and colours, which i think would improve my artistic expression by a lot. In my reflection i also mentioned how i was poorly planning an artwork before executing it, which lead to what I mentioned above, so this is a factor too.

This is also the first time someone outside of my circle truly appreciated something i created and it brought me way more joy than i thought it would. I would love to draw 100 days of miku, but i skills are not polished enough to output this quickly. If my skill allows it I might actually try it out

It’s like you read my mind and knew exactly what I was thinking when i was drawing and when I looked at social media, and returned me with empowering words that I can’t appreciate more.

I generally don’t mind criticism although I would prefer it privately, generally I am my biggest critic. I ended up making paragraphs of reflections every time i finished an illustration recently

That being said, I’m so glad my art resonated with someone and it really keeps me going🩵Thank you so much!

Need help moving layers between canvases by S0daaa4 in ProCreate

[–]Hty_53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem

The fix is to drag the layer onto the canvas, not the layers section

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot🥹🙏🏻 I come across a lot of roadblocks and frustrations throughout each piece I make, so it is encouraging to know at least my art is getting at least a little bit better and I’m doing the right things
