Makin It Right Day 7:

Oops, all eclipse!

(Small rant about Miura and Berserk in the alt text cause my GOD that dood knew what he was doing)

#makinitright #berserk #fanart #artsky
An illustration in black ink and sharpie of an activated Behelit from the manga Berserk. The behelit is a red egg shaped medallion with most of the features needed to create a human face, set into a gold loop you would tie a necklace around. This behelit’s features have aligned themselves into a mask of terror and anguish; the blue eyes are peeled open and weeping blood, and the mouth is agape, showing large white teeth and a pink tongue. The art of Berserk is almost singlehandedly what inspired me to start drawing. I literally learned how to put pencil to paper by doing panel studies as i read through the manga. Drawing Pippin for the first time was the moment i decided to really put my all into building this skill. And then i drew the behelit, and realized just how little i knew and how far i had to go. Comparing yourself to a master like Miura is, i think, one of the stupidest things you could do as an artist. But i fell into that trap and decided until i had a better handle on the fundamentals i wouldnt draw any more Berserk stuff. My personal goal for the last three years has been to get to a point where i can draw this dumb egg face without feeling like an imposter. But lately i’ve realized that feeling just isnt gonna go away for me. So fuck it, Berserk’s back on the table. There’s just too much i can learn from how this man carried himself in the art form to ignore one of my reasons for doing this thing i love. I didn’t start reading Berserk until after Miura died. So i didn’t really grasp what people meant when they talked about how much of a loss his death was. But with every chapter, every full page spread of Guts swinging his stupid slab of a sword through hordes of demons, every new abomination lurking in the night, i started to feel that loss myself. “Simple shapes with grotesque details” is a good way to describe his style, and it is truly perfect. It’s a style i’m going to keep striving for as long as i continue to make art.

Makin It Right Day 6:

GRUNG TIME Y’ALL 🐸

The hatching kinda got away from me on this one (which does NOT bode well for tomorrow’s drawing 😅)

Not sure i really made it right but hey, at least it’s not worse than last time!

#makinitright #dnd #fanart #artsky
An illustration in black ink of a Grung from Dungeons and Dragons. A bipedal tree frog with black markings on its face and along each limb. It wears a simple leather shoulder pad and is holding a bow with a nocked arrow, as well as a quiver on its back.

Who•Thoot

What a difference a reference pic makes 😅

#makinitright #pokemon #fanart #artsky
An illustration in black ink and colored pencil of the pokemon Hoothoot. A small, perfectly round owl standing on one orange foot. It has tired red eyes framed by drooping black arrow-like feathers, a pink beak, and a ruffled coat of brown feathers. It looks as tired as i feel.

Makin It Right Day 4:

A smug little freak

I remember being so proud of the first drawing not realizing how much of its construction was just me getting lucky 😅

The volcano head gave me just as much trouble this time around, funny enough.

#makinitright #jjk #fanart #artsky
A portrait in black ink and graphite/colored pencil of Jogo from Jujutsu Kaisen. Jogo is a cyclops with a volcano head and frankenstein-esque plugs in his ear holes. His head is framed by a fluffy ass collar and he’s smugly smoking a pipe with a face.

Makin it Right Day 3:

Today’s redraw is an old drawing i hated so much i didnt even post it when i moved here from twitter 😅

Malo deserved so much more than my first effort, so i had to make sure i got to him this week 🤙

#makinitright #zelda #twilightprincess #fanart #artsky
An illustration in black ink and pencil of Malo from the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Done in September of 2025. Malo is a chubby cheeked toddler dressed in what i assume is the style of a samurai? He wears a flowing gown with a body wrap and a simple shirt, arm bands, with his hair tied in a top knot. Malo is looking at the viewer with no expression, yet still exuding harsh judgement. The old illustration of Malo, done in black ink and pencil. Drawn in i believe March of 2024. This one is simply Malo’s face. Back then I had two semi-related, incredibly bad notions on how to draw: 1. Stick with the first lines you make. I was so afraid that “wasting” lines would lead to overly complicated drawings, so i forced myself to commit to really weird decisions. 2. For some reason i didnt think i ever needed to measure out proportions? I would tell myself to eyeball it under the assumption that if it was way off i’d see that immediately. Cleary this was nonsense lol. I dont actually think this is the WORST thing i’ve ever drawn, but it’s a great example of these two bad mentalities coming together to create something straight out of the uncanny valley.

Makin It Right Day 2:

Smoliv was the first pokemon i ever tried to draw! I dont think i was all that disappointed in it, especially considering how early on it was. But i did want to give the anxious little dood a full (shiny) color treatment 🤙

#makinitright #pokemon #fanart #artsky
An illustration in black ink and colored pencil of the pokemon Smoliv. This Smoliv is the shiny variant, a Yellow oval with two stubby legs and a black olive nested in green leaves on its head. Smoliv is sitting down, tears in its eyes as it verges on a mental breakdown.

Makin it Right Day 1:

I’ve been wanting to take another stab at Nice Poser since about 3 minutes after i posted them. I was super unsure about figures when i did it, and i still kinda am 😅 but at least i wasnt too scared to actually go for it this time 🤙

#makinitright #mother3 #earthbound #fanart
An illustration in black ink and graphite/colored pencil of Nice Poser from Mother 3. An almost entirely rectangular gray humanoid, with a triangular head does the Dio lean back pose from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Behind them are 3 blue ど (Do) symbols, in the style of the JoJo manga, usually used to denote tension or drama.

#makinitright redrawing an old piece I wasn’t happy with

#fuckinitup adding to an old drawing I was happy with

#albumart drawing inspiration from my favorite album covers

#woodshed focusing on a specific technique or fundamental I have a weakness in
Album Art An illustration of a robot wearing overalls inspired by the album Fishing For Fishies, by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Which is a great album, btw. If you haven’t checked it out go do that! Fuckin It Up An illustration of the pokemon Ghastly, originally done in only black ink, that i went back and colored with pink and purple sharpie. This one happened to work out, but expect some disasters in this series. Woodshed A sketch in pencil of a number of boxes in two point perspective. Woodshed A featureless figure sketch in pencil lined in black ink of a man sitting on a bench, holding a sword.
