August 2015

So there’s a bunch of artists I follow who are super professional and have stores with merch and art books and prints and they make a living completely off their art without having to have a “real job” and they live on their own and are maybe even married…

and it’s really surreal when i find out that they’re only a year or two older than I am. I don’t really know how to feel about it.

#like i dont feel bad about myself but im like...im a child i cant do that #but im really tired of working in jewelry store purgatory too i want to live off my art and have my own apatment #ramblings #please dont reblog
I thought you might like to know, your post/122429945718 lapis mix has a "gem" rating on 8tracks with a pink diamond icon

Yes! I know! I’m very proud of myself ngl

And it’s only 20 likes away from having a gold rating so if people want to check it out that’d be pretty cool. -wink-

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY ART. DO NOT put it on facebook. DO NOT put it on instagram. 

I don’t have a facebook account so if any of my followers who do ever see my artwork there I would really appreciate it if you report it and ask for it to be taken down. Anyone who posts my art on facebook DOES NOT have permission from me to do so.

#like thigh gaps exist but only with certain body types and even then only from certain angles #please stop forcing thigh gaps i'm begging #ramblings
do you aspire from color pallets in your drawings or do you mainly create nice overlays?

hmm are you asking if I choose my color palette before I start drawing? Because no I don’t. I should, because the rare times that I have it makes everything a lot easier and the end result is always nice. But I just pick colors as I go. 

As for overlays, I used to overuse them a lot because it was the only way I knew how to color. Recently though I’ve barely used any sort of color adjustment layers at all. (with the exception of multiply for shadows) Not because I think it’s a bad way to work, but because I’ve learned what they do and it’s easier now for me to just color that way myself. I feel like it gives me more control that way and the end result is more solid because of it. Now overlays are something I save for little finishing touches at the end of a drawing as a special effect instead of the entire basis of how i work.

What's your store name? And are you currently selling any of your drawings?

I have a society 6 store but there’s nothing on it currently. I’d like to sell prints again in the future but right now it really just feels like more trouble than it’s worth.

I’m currently open for commissions though [x]

“How do you think the male audience of Steven Universe feels? Like all…”

I think that is kind of a stereotype to think that because there are no muscle bound male gems running around that there are no male role models or relatable characters in steven universe. steven, Lars, raynaldo and Greg are all very relatable.

This is true. Any time i see someone complain about the lack of male characters in su they always act like steven is literally the only male character in the whole show.  Once I actually tried doing a mental count of recurring characters in the show and I’m sure I was off a bit but the number of male characters vs. female/female coded characters was almost equal. 

Wasn’t there a study done that showed that men in a discussion felt like women dominated the conversation if they spoke only 30% of the time? I think about this a lot.

How do you think the male audience of Steven Universe feels? Like all the gems except Steven are female, and no one would do a gemsona(dunno if i spelled it correctly, its you as a gem) since they are men. It's not that I'm sad or feeling left out, but it's a shame this awesome show's public is more female orientated. Don't get me wrong it's awesome to finally have a cartoon for females, and any male who is not stupid and tries it will love SU. I just wanted to hear your opinion.

I almost hope this is just text post bait and not entirely serious. I’m just gonna parrot what the crew has said and say that if any boys feel like there aren’t enough male characters in su then they can go watch the Avengers.

How do I think the male audience feels? How do you think female audiences of 95% of all other media feel when the entire main cast is composed of male characters with maybe one decently written female character? It’s not “a shame” that su is more female oriented. It’s absolutely wonderful and i love it. I LOVE IT.

When it comes to gemsonas though, have fun and do what you want. They’re supposed to be you as a gem right? So why wouldn’t they identify as male if you identify as male? The crew has already said that gems are free to identify as they wish (it’s just that in canon Steven is the first to use male pronouns.) No one who would send you hate about it is in the right. (there’s honestly no reason to send hate ever) Also, it’s not true that no one would make a male gemsona, I have seen LOTS, you’re not being left out.

#i'm still torn between whether i should save stuff like this and post all at once or posting everything individually #but i figure probably no one will hate me for posting doodles so whatever #jasper #steven universe #awya art

guys, please, PLEASE if you reblog a video that has a lot of flashing lights or colors put some sort of warning in your tags or something for any migraine or seizure prone people who may be following you. it’s like the photosensitive equivalent of a jumpscare. Any sort of heads up is greatly appreciated.

hey you've probably gotten this question loads of times and ive looked to see if you've answered it already and I couldnt find anything, but what types of photoshop brushes do you use to sketch? The sketch tools that I'm using always end up too opaque or too odd looking, and never have any semblance of clean line quality. If you dont want to reveal your brushes thats totally ok as well :)

It’s no problem!  Lately I’ve been using the gouache brush from this set for sketching. And other than that I don’t use much special. Mostly just photoshop’s default hard round and soft round brushes. (I adjust the settings and turn shape dynamics and transfer on and off as I go) 

Also, if your lines aren’t looking clean it might be because you’re working too small. The bigger your file, the cleaner everything will look when it’s scaled down.

it was confirmed that they don’t have ears (but can shapeshift ears for aesthetics or something if they want to)

Oh..well…Good to know.

#i was kinda hoping they'd be revealed to have ears so i could draw them with their hair pulled back without feeling weird #what do they have instead? like bird ears? #reply tag

-goes out of the way to always draw the gems with their hair covering the sides of their faces because I’m still not sure if they have ears or not-
