YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON 1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow 2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer 3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that? 4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up 5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place. 6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online. 7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you. 8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency. 9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark. 10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick. 11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level. 12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

Been a year. Time to repost this.

A little glimpse into some of my animation process! I sometimes do Timelapses while animating that end up being way too big+long to upload on socmed, but here you can see a bit of my underlying rough and initial linework for my Purrnice anim :>

(More thorough process posts are on my sub sites! 🤗)

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.

My first completed illustration of the year is a follow up to one of my most popular illustrations (linked below). This new one is titled "Fealty." 😁

how about some messy process shots :)🦇

Backgrounds are HARD, and let's be honest - most of us want to focus on the figure.

But backgrounds help tell the story of our characters, and they shouldn't be neglected. That doesn't mean we have to start by drawing huge, hyper-detailed scenes for our characters from scratch.

👇A thread.

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

A reminder: generative AI is antithetical to the human practice of art. No matter how "good" the result seems, it's a hollow and barren reproduction productsd without care, thought, motivation, or curiosity.

You know it's ass - THEY know it's ass. But we're stuck in their sunk cost "reality".

Post your most popular art from Twitter ✨
