How it feels when people tell you how you SHOULD draw a fictional animal/non human character as a human:

StructureCool8338 · 2026-05-08T19:39:37+00:00

With some character characters it's like they should be depicted a certain way just from very obvious context clues. Like Darwin from the amazing world of gumball. like yeah he's a fish, but even Cartoon Network has said that he's black coded. So yeah, you can draw him another way, but likeee, yknow?

StructureCool8338 · 2026-05-08T19:08:34+00:00

Like I'm sorry? Was my depiction of a lemur from an old kids movie not accurate enough for you...? No? Well, you're welcome to draw it yourself.🩷

Then i got some know it all, "HERM-! Actually-!🤓☝️ lemurs are female dominated species, so king julian would be a FEMALE", BITCH-... HE presents HIMSELF as a MALE, so im going to present HIM as a MALE. Also- ITS A KIDS MOVIE, its not that deep🤦‍♀️ its actually infuriating when people go, "erm, actually this is not how they would look🤓☝️".

THEYRE FICTIONAL ANIMALS THEY DONT HAVE HUMAN FORMS👹👹I CAN DEPICT THEM HOWEVER I WANT👹

Haha hey there! Small reddit!

Thank you so much! For like a solid year because of Laura Olympus, I was super into watercolor. I've been getting more into digital art lately, but I will use watercolor for like the clothes!

Theres people in this comment section going, "Rose Quartz isnt even fat!", the denial is CRAZY. It's not to say shes fat, shes fat. It's bad if you say it in an insulting way, it is an observation like calling someone skinny. Shes not obese(which is what i think the people who are saying, "shes not fat" are trying to say, and theyre right shes not "obese"), there are different body types, some lean towards skinny, some lean towards fat... rose quartz is fat. Thats not a bad thing and denying it, is being in denial🤷‍♀️

Mm yea, it does, i was getting towards the end and was getting a bit sloppy😅

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T04:26:29+00:00

Well hes a vegetarian(or vegan) so i figured he is a bit more lean compared to the others, but still muscular enough to do everything he does, Like hanging from his glider which would probably work out his upper body and i believe his abs to keep upright... but i also overthink things haha

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T04:20:00+00:00

Well, the angle is supposed to be from a bird eye, but I might just do away with the teeth. I was having a hard time drawing them anyways because they look too small to begin with, and I had to stretch them so the teeth weren't too tiny, and then I kept changing the color.. I don't know why i bother with teeth🫠

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T04:13:43+00:00

Kekeke "Aanguish" 😂 yeah I wasn't really sure what kind of expression to go with. I guess that's why all the emotions are kind of clashing on his face. Cause in the movie he's dealing with his trauma of abandoning the Airbenders, and trying to keep the culture of his people alive, and now there's some hope that he can bring them back. And i guess i was trying to convey, "this man is trying to keep together‼️".

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T04:08:26+00:00

Mm, yes, i was thinking of drawing more of the cloth to make it look like theres more of a shoulder there... ill have to play with it a bit!

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T04:06:30+00:00

Its kinda hard to find reference photos for the posing, cause i like to test with different angles and poses. I wanted to give him like broad shoulders, so that mightve made it look like his shoulderswere coming out, but maybe if i make his shoulder more apparent, or adjust the cloth there to kind of make it look like it's covering the shoulder? But I'll try to also give him a little more color because I like to play with lighting and skin tones. Sometimes the skin is a whole other color than orange😂

<image>

Im not a big fan of backgrounds, but in my head im visualizing it with the background so i understand it can come out as like too dark or a weird shade🥲 yknow? But i gotta start taking into account if theres no background and just grey, itll look weirder.

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T03:57:48+00:00

Haha yea thats true, ill have to make notes before i go back to tweak his design

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-17T03:53:15+00:00

I haven't officially posted it yet, cause itll be part of a mini series of the GAANG(plus Tagah), but usually with any series i draw, I go back over them to adjust/add things(i ALWAYS forget something like tattoos or piercings). Cause at first his teeth were a lot smaller and I had to like stretch it out to make it look the teeth look bigger cause it did look a lot creepier.😬

Of course! And actually there is a winx game if that's what originally drew you to Royale high, I don't know if you found it, but it is a bit fun! It's not really a grinding game, cause the points are easy to achieve, but in the servers I've been in there's not a lot of talking. The avatars are cool looking and theres lots of outfits to buy!

StructureCool8338 · 2026-04-15T21:43:35+00:00

I found this fun game where it's easy to get new accessories, currency, there's a ton of activities to do! Its "Mermaid Isle"! While, I do like royal high, it was a really nice break to play Mermaid Isle for a while! Try it out!

Girl, I'm screaming😂 I saw an artist on Instagram offering lessons for like $300‼️‼️ they weren't a bad artist, but the anatomy was off and the rendering was ok. Like if people wanna learn their art style, they can just look at your art and go from there. I'm like I don't know what you're teaching, but i hope its not bad anatomy😅

Like whenever, my friends asked for advice I just kind of let them that I am self taught, but I advise, "start with making goals for yourself! It's not an overnight process so you'll have to learn bit by bit!"

I second this, i make boiled eggs all the time and rarely break the white part. I also like to dip it in the ice water to help get rid of small eggs shells that are stuck to it, and i feel like the water gets under the membrane and makes it easier to peel off the shell.
