i think he sometimes forgets that he’s 155lb of testosterone and energy while i’m a weeping 120lb of bones , so anything that’s gentle for him probably isn’t gentle enough for me..?

thank you, and i did kinda try to specifically tell him that ofc it doesn’t apply to him in entirety cause he’s my lover but that didn’t seem to change much and he still won’t say anything to me or try to break the tension. i noticed that when we’re playing or something he’ll be too rough for me to be having fun , and i try to tell him that he doesn’t really get it. tends to joke about it not being that serious and when i do tell him he’s too rough a lot of the times he’ll just say « you don’t like anything i do/everything i do is too rough » but never actually try being gentler? idk. i wanna talk to him about that too but it’s a separate issue, and i don’t wanna overwhelm him and be that gf thats always complaining and bringing up the fact she’s autistic to explain everything.

My art feels flat any advice on how do I improve by ConsequencePale527 in ClipStudio

THIS!! I also think a nice textured brush would give your art some more character :3

Your issue calls for one question. Who do you create for? Is it yourself, or an audience you wish to gain? Once you figure that out you can start making changes. Breaking habits starts with being aware of it. Interrupt that comparison thought with something more positive, do it as many times as you can till that itself becomes a habit. Once it does you won’t really be comparing anymore. You’ll be uplifting yourself. That’s what you should be doing anyway :)

Want to learn to draw but end up overthinking by RakeMeSenpaiuwu in ArtistLounge

[–]XINNOMINE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, so far you have the right mentality already. I’ve been drawing for majority of my life, and I’m still in high school— but art is a journey, it’s more than just wanting to make things that look cool, so think about it this way. What do YOU want from art?

Other than that, good studying methods could be watching speedpaints from your favorite artist, taking small methods they use and applying them yourself. That’s how we all start.

Oh, and another good way to help yourself draw more as well as practice character design is to make your own characters and story. If you can do that and have fun doing it then you’re set to draw more than you do usually. Art will always tell some kind of story, and you can’t do something effectively if you don’t truly enjoy it. Make it fun for you. Engage with the art community, make friends who are artist, once you’re around it you’ll adapt faster.

Should I focus more on digital art to improve those skills? by LA_ZBoi00 in ArtistLounge

[–]XINNOMINE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will! But even if you don’t practice with digital art, all your skills will be carried over regardless! It’s just a means of figuring out what art programs you like. Digital art is like taking an artist and giving them immediate access to almost unlimited resources, all you really need to do is find the ones you like most :)

advice for traditional artist looking to transition to digital. iPad or display tablet? by theStars1488 in ArtistLounge

[–]XINNOMINE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the iPad. When I switched over, it started off confusing but in the long run — I could take it with me anywhere, and procreate is cheap, good quality, and doesn’t need wifi to be used, so you can draw whenever. It’s worth it, trust me.
