precious cinnamon roll morgiana ughh

Mary sketch from last year! 

Every time I see your art I fall in love with it a little more. You are an amazing artist, and you bring a lot of people a lot of joy!! Happy holidays too by the way, I wish you the best. And of course I look forward to seeing your art in 2016!

MAwww, you’re awesome! Thank you so much! You guys who leave me such sweet comments, you bring ME a lot of joy and I just love you all. Happy holidays, may your new year be full of all good things!

i was feeling sad about school so i made these stickers instead

if art isnt treating you right

- don’t erase the stuff you’ve already drawn, just make the layer invisible. if you’re anything like me then deleting in process sketches has a very light subconscious negative effect on how the drawing is turning out.

- don’t draw your sketches on white, especially if your brush is black. white is hard to draw on. change it to grey. trust me on this.

- if a sketch is almost there but not quite try mirroring it horizontally. the issues will be way easier to spot.

-if inking isnt your thing but you want outlines just paint your color over the sketch lines, then do the ink lines last.

- if you have lots of ideas but no patience with details like myself take to tiny tiny thumbnails. like im talking barely bigger than your thumb. it forces you to look at the whole picture and not just the details.

- if tiny doesnt work/you like detailing go opposite. draw REALLY huge and work your way through.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST BOY I PROMISE ILL DRAW YOU AGAIN SOON rrRAAAAAああAああAaあぁaぁ

Attention ALL artists!

You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.

The magic word is Metadata.

Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.

There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!

“Adding Your Contact And Copyright Info To Your Photos With Photoshop” on PhotoshopEssentials.com

I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.

Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to. Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.

so episode 7 came out 

I finally painted an entire piece! Yeesh, it’s been so long! Its that time of year again, which means more otgw art for my buddy @gamer-gremlin-gf-ships! (and inktober, but making my friend happy means so much more.) 

Also!! JasminDarnell on Twittter has a stress free version of Inktober called Spooktober going on! I prefer it, because you can use any medium, and put in any amount of effort. That just makes more sense to me when it comes to my stuff. Tag her and try it out! 

Feeling rough lately.
