Some things to bear in mind when drawing bears 🐻

My most elaborate drawn tutorial to date (because yes, I draw these traditionally), but I really wanted all the info posted at once instead of in multiple parts, so here we are.

Once again I have made the same mistake I always do lately in rushing my sketches and thereby having to basically redo them before I can get properly stuck into lineart, so here's a thread on how not to fuck up your sketches and get them right the first time.

So, what is your sketch layer for? 🧵

Remember, creating art is a skill that has to be learned. It takes time, practice, and patience, so never beat yourself up or be disheartened if what you've put on your canvas isn't exactly what you pictured in your head! (1/2)

For those of you who have noted that Substack is basically a Nazi Bar and you’re looking for a place to move your writing to, the info in this thread may be an option worth looking into.
I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values.

Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x

First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +

Doing some faux / custom Coat of Arms designs for Dungeon Coursers (the horse art game) and loving it! What a surprise XD

Let’s start with a more traditional heraldic shield design~

Lean into your passions and interests. It doesn't matter what other people think YOU should or shouldn't be doing, when that is only their opinion. You create your happiness.
If you like MtG, play it. If you want to cosplay then do it. Watch anime. Collect stamps. Wear bright colors. Read smut.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Have to keep creating in spite of it all, no matter what. For the joy of it, the love of it, for the catharsis it brings. I can’t let anyone else take that.

They have several fonts with full Vietnamese letters and accents. I'm absolutely thrilled about this.
If you're looking to make comics this year and aren't hand-lettering, this is your annual reminder that Comicraft's one-day font packages sale is on.

ALL fonts are only $20.25, even the ones that usually cost many times more, so don't wait!

More horse things and a bit of an experimental painting style - more texture, simplified shapes, more mood / atmosphere.

Would anyone be interested in these as potential comm offerings? Thinking $60 - $80 USD range

More horses! This one part of a trade for another user. c:

And you can see some of the “polish” I usually put on finished pieces, especially fully rendered ones (although this one is flat color).

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven.
For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨
