nugget-xiao.bsky.social•120 days ago

Can confirm drawing Xiao everywhere motivates me to draw lmao

Since when was profit ever a step in the artist grindset?

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•120 days ago

I just wrote this post following a meme format. Profit here just means the gains you get from honing your skills.

roundcat88.bsky.social•120 days ago

I know. I was just making a joke about how art usually doesn’t end in monetary success.

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•120 days ago

Lmao sorry. I can't indicate tones in texts well.

roundcat88.bsky.social•120 days ago

No worries

Omg these are gorgeous!!!

matsuyorific.bsky.social•121 days ago

This is exactly how I improved. I just drew Cardcaptor Sakura over and over again for years on end!

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•121 days ago

So cuteeeee! You're doing great so far.

matsuyorific.bsky.social•121 days ago

Thx. These are actually older, but they were more relevant to my comment. Been drawing a lot of Miraculous Ladybug lately, but my art style's still pretty much the same since

ruiicha.bsky.social•121 days ago

this is so real because my haikyuu phase single handedly forced me to draw guys. my star rail phase is teaching me anatomy because otherwise i can't draw their outfits correctly.

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•121 days ago

You're so real for that. Btw another thing you can gain from drawing hsr or hoyo characters in general is that, it trains your patience and your eyes in noticing details.

Bet lemme try this

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•121 days ago

Good luck.

tacticalt.bsky.social•120 days ago

It didn't work 💀
This shit is a travesty

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•120 days ago

What's important is you know what you're not satisfied with and study. What works more besides simping is studying and this vid kinda helps (not a promo. It's also what helped me. But it depends on the person whether it works or not but a lot of ppl recommended this on twt)

It's alright. At first my shit was hideous too. Look XD

From year 3 I improved by learning and actually analyse where I was wring at and how to fix my mistake by learning from other ppl.

They have the goofy cute faces of the girls in the caramelldansen video.

YOU HAVE ENLIGHTENED ME I WILL NOW DEVOTE MY LIFE TO AVENTURINE (and/or Sunday idk)

eirwenzone.bsky.social•121 days ago

Hi how to I increase my simping passion 🥺📝

nikuudonbowl.bsky.social•121 days ago

Unfortunately there's no way to do that. You cannot estimate your love for a character nor deliberately increase your love. However, you can revisit their moments, life story or write what you love about them and why. This will remind you of why you chose this person/character to simp for.
