All I wanna do rn is draw Garnet with heart sunglasses :0
I want to reblog my art back from everyone who has ever deleted my captions and then advertised their blogs on it with stuff like •♫☼♪• and change all their links so it just goes straight to a rickroll instead of their awful blogs.
Thank you! Actually, I originally planned to just do the Lapis outfits…but then I wanted to draw Ames…and now I have like, two outfits planned for Pearl and one for Peridot and basically I think I’ve doomed myself to draw all of them now.

eh, I guess you don’t do you? But you barely see Lapis either. -shrugs- As far as Rose goes, she’s implied to be really high ranking and she also doesn’t have the fusion eye thing going on like Jasper does. I know her height might have nothing to do with it but it’s still really interesting to me that the only other fusions we’ve seen as tall as Malachite are fusions of 3 or more gems. (on a side note I feel like we know almost nothing about Rose yet. I want to learn more about her.)
So maybe the Jasper is a fusion theory isn’t true but it’s still fun. I’m going to keep my headcanon unless flat out proven/disproven by the creators.
Yep! Malachite is so weird I love her design. And…yeah idk how long it was after you sent that ask but yeah, i drew it after I got home and saw it in my inbox haha. Thanks.
Oh yes! That’d be fine with me! Please tag me if you do! <3
And thank you!
I turned 23 in April and I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design.
WHAT?!! Oh wow!

haha guess who managed to cut her hand right where she normally holds her tablet pen?

I slammed my hand in a metal door at work. My whole hand is swollen. Imma still draw tho.
What is the art of someone who’s spent 10+ years drawing supposed to look like anyway? There isn’t a set timeline for art progress, everyone is on their own schedules. It’s less about chronological time and more about quality time. How much time is spent actually drawing? studying? pushing yourself out of your comfort zone? There are people who draw every day for 8 hours a day and there are people who draw maybe once a month, you can’t expect them to make the same progress in the same time period. And neither is a bad thing tbh, everyone is different. The point I’m trying to make here is that it’s just not fair to compare yourself to some impossible to define standard of what your art is “supposed” to look like. Try looking back at some of your older drawings, I’m sure you’ve grown a lot more than you think.
And if you haven’t? So what?! Who said you have to be constantly improving at something in order to do it? There’s no rule out there that says you have to be at a certain skill level by a certain point in time in order to draw. If you’re thinking that you want to stop drawing then I think it’s good to ask yourself what your reasons for drawing were in the first place. Do you draw because it’s fun and you enjoy it? Then keep drawing. You are not required to be good at it.

Aliens are real and they’re puppeting the government.

That’s not a weird question anon! I think a lot of people wonder if art is just something that’s hopeless for them and if they just don’t have the talent.
But art is a skill, not a magical gift bestowed only upon “true artists” by unicorns. Anyone can learn to draw so yes, if you keep drawing you will improve. And it has nothing to with how bad your art is to start with because everyone starts by making bad art. I wanted to write out a long answer for you but I don’t even know what else to say because the answer is just yes. If you practice regularly and try to do your best you will improve.
tbh though anon, don’t even worry about whether or not you’ll be good later. Just have fun drawing and learning now. Do the best you can and draw the things that you want to draw and that make you happy. I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best thing you can do.

Right behind you this whole time.

(seriously tho thank you anon!)
I think one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as an artist is to accept that you will make bad drawings sometimes and just…stop caring about it. It’s not like that bad sketch you drew was your one and only chance to ever draw the thing. It’s so much easier emotionally to just say “lol what is that?” delete it and start over than it is to spend the next six hours crying about it. Once you stop treating every single thing you draw as something precious and learn to just throw stuff away it takes so much stress away. One bad drawing doesn’t make you a bad artist, or a fraud. Even the best pro artists are gonna have moments where they draw things wrong. You’re going to make bad drawings so just go out there and make them so you can move on with your life. Chances are your second attempt will be better.
I’ve cleaned this blog up a little. I’ll just be using it to post my art from now on.
Reblogs have been moved to a sideblog. You’re welcome to follow me there if you like seeing the stuff I like. If not that’s okay too!
