Thanks for looking! Was practicing realism again. I deeply regret that I have no foundation in anatomy- it makes things very difficult for me. I find myself limited whenever I draw and I hope to remedy that soon. :<

I like the rough, uneven and multiple lines. The color in front adds a sense that he might be a ghost or something not in the present and it brings attention to the hand, making him almost a surprise. The tape over his mouth looks a bit out of place, but over all, good job!

aww, thanks rosa! I've been drawing on and off for "realism", this is probably my 6th attempt ! I still have to improve in a lot of things, haha. Thank you so much! And yes, it does resemble Dexter! Probably because of the gagged mouth, haha. It would be so cool if Dexter wore nails.

i'm watching "Dexter" i'm pretty sure you know that drama since it's so popualr... this reminded me of him coz he uses injection!! (well he doesn't color his nails tho lol)

horrifying is very good! Thank you so much <3
It was supposed to be kinky but I'm no good at that, so it comes out terrifying, hahaha XD

You were aiming for kinky? That actually is eerie. This picture inspired a two-sentence story that I wrote for a lit group contest:
The ochre fluid danced lazily in the low lamplight within the needle's chamber, held carefully, purposefully, by hands tipped with hot blue nails.
Thank God, Satan, Allah, and absolutely everything else for safewords.
Haha, I think I was subconsciously channeling your subconscious.

wow ! Now I wanna know what happens next : D
It sounds like an opening to a torture, and "hot blue nails" sounds chillingly pretty. I like how hot and blue are associated even though blue is usually paired with "cool".

Oh, well, I don't know, haha 
I kinda want to know what happens next after your picture... maybe one in the same, fff.
When this contest got proposed to me, it was right after I'd seen this, so it sorta hit me. I can't tell you how much I like this one.

Wowww look at you! Look at this! Tryin' new things and SUCCEEDING. Holy cow this is really well done, I'm impressed!
Also, perhaps it was because the Sherlock fanart was right next to this in my inbox, but my brain defaulted this man to being Watson/Martin Freeman. Hahaha! Ha? Why did I even

Haha, hello Paiiiii
Yes I am trying to draw realism! I understand that before developing your own style it is important to have foundation in accurate anatomy- I was kinda the other way round; style first, foundation later. I guess it's because I went into drawing as a hobbyist....
Anyway are you talking about my sherlock bbc fanart? Come to think of it he DOES look like Martin haha XD

For me, realism was drilled into me at a very young age. Haha! I'd say once I got to 6th grade they really started in with that crap and people were still pretty into it in high school (before most students were developing their own style). Though I am not a huge fan, I DEFINITELY see how it's helped me progress as an artist. I don't think I can do realism well anymore, though, LOL!
Yes yes, I was talking about your Sherlock BBC work! I just assumed, when I was looking at the thumbnail, that this was Martin. Hahaha! I think our brains superimpose things into our art subconsciously, sometimes...

I view your work as largely semi-realistic? I guess it's because your anatomy and faces are pretty solid/close to real life - but they are often drawn in such surreal environments ( cut-diamond forms/funky colours/dripping inks/gorgons ) that it becomes this wonderful blend of surrealism. I love it.
I really want to improve my anatomy/lighting/perspective! I'm a bit clueless as to where to start, in all honesty ;A; I want to draw comics above all and I believe that beauty is necessary for good execution in this case. Beauty of the human form, not necessarily drawing "pretty people"...but yeah, I hope you get what I mean XD.
If you have any anatomy books/sites to rec, I'd be glad ! Thank you Pai Pai

Ah thank you! Well, yes, as far linework goes I do try and stick to semi-realism. I don't care for shading or lighting when it's within my own work, though, which I think is a very important part of realism. I love when other people do it, but ever since I stopped doing it I've forgotten how, haha. It took me a lonnnng time to get to where I am with my linework, though. Like, I look at stuff I did years ago that, at the time, I'd thought looked realistic. And I now realize doesn't even look remotely realistic, LOL! It's hard in general, but it's especially hard if you're trying to work it into a style you've established (which needs to evolve along the way).
I do know what you mean about the beauty thing. I've seen beautiful ass pictures of unattractive people hohohohoho :'DD
Recs! Ahh. Oh man. Well if you peruse my last journal (in which I explain that I reference porn for anatomy and beg for good alternative recs) you'll find a few good sites! I've bookmarked them all, somewhere, but. I'd just do a fast scan for links in the comments and see if you find anything useful! There's some awesome stuff in there.

I'm curious to see your old work actually! I really love your style so it's really interesting to see how it evolved
Man, I know what you mean ! I am not trying to shake off my "style" but it does get in the way every time I try to attempt new things, like realism, haha. I care for lighting a lot but I can never figure out how it works XD I agree that it is important for realism- I really admire artists that create atmosphere with light. One such artist is "iconYuumei: , her style looks like generic animanga but the way she colours and her concepts really pack a punch! I love the way she uses light and I would like to try it.
Another artist I can think of who uses light uniquely is [link] . She has a flat colouring style, but for some reason all her drawings remind me of sunset.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, I know Yuumei! I like her work, too, which... I guess surprises me? That I like it, I mean. I don't watch her any more, but I definitely did at some point. And the second artist - yes, I love that style of shading and lighting! I've seen it before and I love it. Should I ever attempt shading and lightning again that's how I'd go about it (flat blocks of color), though those are things I don't understand anymore ahah. So sad.
