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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi! I had a question for you about drawing programs. I'll be getting my tablet soon in the mail, but I'm not sure what program I should use with it. Do you know any good ones? What would you recommended?

I use Photoshop CS5 almost exclusively. In my experience it’s been the easiest to use and understand. I also love how brushes in PS work and how easy they are to adjust and customize. Photoshop is best for digital painting imo. (There’s also a ton of resources available online, like brushes and tutorials, for you to use which is nice)

If you’re into flat colors and nice linework Adobe illustrator is really good. It’s difficult to learn up front but you can create really nice vector work with it (at this point though i rarely use it) 

There’s also a lot of free mock adobe programs to choose from though. The only one I have experience with is GIMP. It’s not exactly the same as PS but it does a good job covering the basics and it’s safe. 

A lot of artists also use Paint Tool Sai and Manga Studio. I have no experience whatsoever with Manga Studio and I’ve messed around in Sai a little but it just never really clicked for me personally. But they’re worth checking out too. 

So there’s a lot of options out there. I hope I helped a little. I am definitely biased though, PS is my comfort zone so keep that in mind. I’m not an expert in all drawing programs.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Have fun with your new tablet!

So since you watch SU did you make yourself a gemsona? If not could you imagine what would she/he be?and their weapons?

Um..no I didn’t. I don’t really enjoy drawing things that involve…me. I’m really not that cool. But uh…idk opals and padparadscha sapphires are my favorite gemstones and maces are cool. tbh tho if I were a gem I’d probably be like Steven or Lapis and not have a weapon weapon. idk what I’d have instead though.

Would you be able to draw my oc based on a picture for the facial features and specs because I don't have any drawings of her yet.

Yeah that’s totally fine. You don’t need any existing artwork. I’ve done commissions before based on photos or written descriptions. I once even someone send me photos of a bunch of bjds. Just remember that the more information you are able to give me (especially visual) the more likely you are to get a drawing that’s what you have in mind.

Hey guys! I’m thinking about opening up a few commission slots for simple character drawings (like this or this) Flat color, full body, single color background for $30 USD? (+$20 for a second character) I’ll draw fanart, fan characters, OCs, whatever. Send me an email at awyaannette@gmail.com if you’re interested! c:

Hello! I'd like to ask if I could use one of your drawings as a sidebar. Of course you would be credited :)

Yes, I’m totally fine with that! :)

For anyone else who’s wondering, I’m okay with people using my art for phone/laptop wallpapers, icons online and tumblr themes w/ credit. (or other general, harmless stuff like that - if you don’t know you’re always welcome to ask)

 I don’t like reposts or people using my art as illustrations for their writing or their characters (unless it was commissioned specifically as such) and obviously anything that involves someone making a profit with my art is a no.
