Do you sell your drawings /paintings?

Anonymous

I have an account on Society6 but i haven’t updated it in almost a year. If anyone wants something specific as a print just tell me what it is and if i still have a large enough file saved to my laptop i’ll post it for you.

Do you have any Rose Quartz drawings?

I drew some fusions with her not too long ago [x]

I don’t have any finished drawings of just her posted anywhere online. But here is a small doodle I’m okay with sharing!

oh my god you are an amazing artist!!! i've been working on my art for a while now and i feel confidant on paper, but i'm having a hard time adjusting to digital. are there any techniques or websites you'd recommend? (btw i draw on an ipad)

You’re trying to adjust to drawing on an ipad. Oh precious child. I’m impressed by your determination tbh. From what i understand ipads have absolutely 0 pressure sensitivity (ie drawing lighter gives you lighter, smaller brushstrokes, drawing harder gives you darker, larger brushstrokes) so that’s probably a huge part of why it’s been tough to adjust. I’ve never tried using an ipad to draw but I’ve tried drawing on my phone before and gave up in two days. 

Assuming you have access to a computer or laptop, it’s worth the investment to buy a tablet that’s intended to be used for drawing. You don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars, Monoprice actually makes some decent tablets for around $40-$60.

If you need to stick with the ipad though, I’d recommend playing around with the opacity of your brushes in whatever app you’re using. When I’m sketching it feels a lot more natural to me to have my brushes set at 30-45% opacity instead of 100%. That way you can layer your lines more like a pencil. I only ever really use 100% for flat colors. Unfortunately I don’t have any specific websites to point you towards. A lot of my digital knowledge just came from playing around in PS on my own and picking up tips here and there from other artists. 

Other than that, it’s just a matter of drawing a lot. I switched to digital art about 3 years ago and it’s only been within the last year that I’ve really felt comfortable with it. Just keep going, you’re doing good! 

Another theory on jasper; there are several types of jasper stone so maybe tiger jasper and another type of jasper fused together?

That’s a good point! (there is also ocean jasper which i think was missed opportunity for an awesome pun tbh) But yeah, I’ve actually been wondering for a while now how the show is gonna handle different variations of the same stone? There are different types of garnets and pearls and sapphires too (I would love to see a padparadscha character that is my dream chara) and about a bajillion different types of quartz and I wonder if the show will address that or if they’ll just avoid it? There’s already been hints of different colors of diamonds so maybe? 

yay!! thank u so much for the beautiful pearls her outfits are so cute!! i am excited to see ur future endeavours now that we've gone this far <3

Oh! Thank you! I had a lot of fun drawing her! <3

i love that pic of amethyst you did. if you have any time or inspiration could you do alternate hairstyle for any of the other crystal gems (pearl, rose, garnet)? thank you thank you!

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.

If Jasper was a fusion we would see the third gem in the Malachite fusion light blob thing. In Sugilite's fusion blob you see the Amethyst, Ruby, and Sapphire gems. In Opal you see both the Pearl and the Amethyst, and when Alexandrite is breaking apart you see all 4. Jasper has no second gem, and Rose was 8 feet tall and not a fusion, so her height can't really be a defining factor of fusionhood.

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. 

You know, I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't pick up that Malachite has six arms. Shit. Huh. Also, did you already have that other picture in your archives? Or did you draw that in the MAYBE hour since I asked? Either way, damn impressive.

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. 

Do you think it would be okay if i drew lapis in one of the summer outfits you made? x__x theyre really cute!

Oh yes! That’d be fine with me! Please tag me if you do! <3

And thank you!
