lizardjay: Sakura looking comically shocked (bug eyes)

I have several posts I want to make (including [community profile] sunshine_challenge T_T) but first... I have thoughts about the Minato manga.

for the Naruto fans )

I made an icon but I'm currently torn on which version is better. (I might also want to clean up some linework but once it's at correct size, maybe nobody will notice...)

I'm now realizing that I can color in any manga panel I want. My power is limitless :D

I'm testing out the beta post page and wow does it look different... I'm intimidated! I swapped solely for the ability to use the @ to link to users. Current cons: I don't know how to make a bullet list and had to use HTML :( the old version had a button for that.

I come bearing more art I've done lately!

arttttt )

My brother's spouse K recommended the app MediBang to me. It has layers! A bucket tool! Multiple brushes! Incredible luxuries :D I'll swap to that if I'm not too intimidated to use it.

I've been drawing a lot lately and slacking off at work to do so which is pretty new for me. I mean, I've always doodled! But when I was younger, my siblings were always so good at art, and I was... not. Of course, this probably is mostly because they're five and seven years older than me :D But I eventually decided I wasn't "good at art".

But really, it doesn't matter how "good" you are, as long as you're having fun! So here's some of my latest. (Not to say that I'm bad, I hate when people share stuff and are like "oh it's terrible haha" and then you look and it's absolutely gorgeous. But it's new to me!)

Mostly but not all Naruto )

If I really wanted to work seriously on my drawing, I'd have to.... idk, learn anything about anatomy? Practice a lot? Learn how to color? Do backgrounds??? But tbh I'm almost happy with the level I'm at. I just want to be able to make little sketches to convey jokes or ideas :D There's always room for improvement but I don't have the time or motivation to Go Hard.

I would like to find a better app for my phone... right now I'm using Google Keep which is just a notes app. Something with layers would be incredible. Or a better way to color than using the highlighter tool. Or maybe a way to flip the canvas so I can see where I've gone wrong...
