@lin what’s your art Instagram so I can follow you? 🙂

@lin It’s.. going. xD I didn’t do any today. I’m gonna try to work on it tomorrow tho. I can tell the gestures are helping me, but I’m getting so bored of them. *not giving up tho*

How are you feeling about it?

@lin I do too. That’s actually why I’m doing it, ’cause I’m not good at them. xD

@lin So graceful. <3

@lin Right now I’m just drawing comic panels based off my character’s adventures from the roleplay thread. I have intentions to do a real comic someday but for now, It’s just for practice. 😀 (Your art style would make a gorgeous comic)

@lin Ooh, those are so pretty!

@lin Yes, I absolutely like it! 😀 I dunno if I already said so or not, but I also really love your new profile image. So cute! 😀

@lin AWWW!! Thank you so much! This brought a huge smile to my face. 😀 😀 <3 You’re welcome to draw my characters whenever you’d like. (She’s so cute in your style, aaaaa)

@lin I wholeheartedly agree.

Thank you! I was thinking I would do 20 gestures per week. I am pretty busy with school and stuff, so. I will try and post as often as posibble. Oh and Pinterest is a great site for finding poses and art things. Here is a link to my poses board if you want to check it…[Read more]

@lin Ooo, that was super helpful ✨ thank you!

That’s so cool! Thank you @lin !

This sounds amazing fledge!!! Sorry I’m late….

my drawings are pretty stiff too, my schedules pretty packed but I wanna try to fill a page or two a week! Also thank you @lin I’ll definitely be using that site.

Can someone quickly just explain how to do a gesture drawing tho? I’ve always wanted to practice doing it but I’m not sure how one wou…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist Aw, thanks!  Oh, boy, hours I guess.  I dont really know, but I often work on one for an hour or more for days sometimes weeks.  Just depends.

@lin Yeah, I like canvas boards better than stretched canvas, and paper often gets too soggy and heavy with acrylic.

@slisby Ooh, that sounds fun!  I love drawing people in act…[Read more]

@ashira Yeah. It’s sad. You should probably read the newest news article on the blog.

Actually, all the artsy people should.

@slisby @dekreel (whenever you come back from hiatus) @lin @theclumbsy_lamplighter @ellagrace @writerforever @h-jones

Y’all need to read

That.

@ashira Of course you can barge in! We were just talking about how scary oil paint is. Have you ever tried it before?

@lin Yess, watercolors are so fun.

@slisby I use acrylic when I paint.  I have tried oil and watercolor, but acrylic is my favorite because of all you can do with it without being to messy, or time consuming like oils!  That sounds cool!  What do you mean by “gestures”?

@the-fledgling-artist Yup, acrylics!  I like doing pencil or pen-and-black-colored-pencil drawings too.  And…[Read more]

@slisby Aah, yeah. Oils. Much scare. I think @lin uses oils tho. (right? or am I thinking of someone else?)

@lin @slisby @h-jones @sageinthemeadow @ella-grace

Hey ladies! How’s it going so far? I’m at just over one-hundred gestures so far. It doesn’t feel like I’m getting any better, but I know that if I keep pushing through I’ll be able to look back and see the results. So… I’m not ready to give up yet! 😀

Here are a few pictures of my progress.

@the-fledgling-artist Oh wow, that actually sounds like a brilliant idea! I was considering making a website of my own, but it didn’t occur to me to advertise via Instagram or some other social media platform. Genius! (And thank you @jbstanhope! Haha)

@selah-chelyah Awww thank you!! Haha yeah, I figured I really don’t need a secret identity any…[Read more]
