-Drawing for money is worst than whoring.
I mean if you are in an awesome project where all you drawing skills and creativity are the key for success, then is cool. But if you are drawing friends/family and people who use the word pretty way too much, then go whoring.
I did an awesome drawing that took me like 2 hours to do and the one who commissioned it didn’t like it.. I re-do it and took me half an hour. He loved it. I mean.. what? Why people want silly awful drawings instead of well done awesome ones? I.. I don’t know what’s wrong.
I’m tired.
And that is why I gave up on drawing comissions and one specific art for money! When I draw something for someone it’s a gift, then they can’t complain because they’re not paying ahahaha! I’ll give ya some tips to earning a buttload of money for doing what you want :D!

OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„, BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)
1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly
2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting
since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground
(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)
3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!
practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway
OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT
SUCH GREAT ADVICE
Our newest pet! She’s a 9-year old Bengal cat! She’s seriously the nicest cat I’ve ever met ehahah! She never once hissed at us since the first day we got her! She was just shy but now she hangs out around my computer chair waiting for me to leave so she can take the chair for herself hahahaha!
