5000. DANG. I’m kind of stunned that 5000 people think my art is worth looking at and are also willing to put up with whatever other dumb shit I post. You’re all awesome, and being lucky enough to have such a wonderful and supportive audience encourages me to keep moving forward and and doing what I do! MACARONS FOR EVERYONE. <3
Reblogging some of my older works here, thank you for featuring! <3
For some reason these were tagged under digital art, but all of these were painted with watercolors. The lineart for the boy riding the beautiful horse was made by Pettry and I got to color it. c:
HELP ME OUT PLEASE! I could really use some money this summer to help me move, get to my new college, and to see a friend I’ve been trying to see for the past four years! Every little bit counts! Rebloging from Maniac because I have no idea how to reblog myself.
About time I tried my hand at this…

REBLOGS ARE ALSO GREATLY APPRECIATED!
“One more time..” I whisper to myself as I click the replay button on a song for the 15th time..
Let it be known that backgrounds are not my forte. Neither is coloring.. I’ve been stuck in an art rut lately.. I started doodling a character who wound up looking a bit like Odin, so I went ahead and just drew up the rest of the main cast. huzzah!
If you haven’t read this beautiful comic already then you’re really missing out! It’ssoprettyguh. And the story will have you hooked. Also if anyone wants these loaded separately just let me know and I’ll see what I can do! I hope you like them floating heads!

I’m in need of some money this summer! Really badly. I also live in a tiny town so I have zero luck in getting a job at the moment. About time I tried my hand at this…

I might edit this as I go. I’m still learning how this works. Other examples of my art can be found under the tag “doodles,” which is provided on my page! Reblogs will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
What are studios looking for? How can I get into a good animation school? What should I be studying?
I get a lot of these types of questions now and again, and I never know how to answer them. I can’t be sure of what studios are looking for, I don’t control admissions policies to schools, and I have little idea what makes for a current and relevant curriculum. There are a lot of variables in your bid for a career in animation, and it’s kind of impossible to control most of them. You must be crazy to want this job!
I find it helpful to focus on the things I can control. Among those things are your study habits and how you spend your personal time. It’s good to work hard and have goals—without them we would get nowhere. Study hard and make decisive strides towards achieving your art goals. But in the heat of that pursuit, don’t forget to go out and live your life!
If you spend any amount of time looking at artists online, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are about a million dudes and dudettes in internetville who draw better than you (I relive this realization daily). Once your have done your best to rise to their level, the only tool you have to compete with these crazy talents is your background, your personal character—is you!
Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.
I know this advice is not particularly animation-specific, but maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it is something I feel strongly about. Animation is great, and there are few things that I enjoy doing more than drawing and storytelling. But in order to have stories to tell, first you have to live them.
Be good, and see you soon!
PS, if you were looking for advice on draftsmanship you should probably be reading this.
