Description As you already know I've read the journal 3 replica of gravity falls and ahhh it was an amazing read, I love that book so much <3  

Anyway, that journal made me love Fiddleford a looot <3 and made me love Ford even more, if that's even possible cause I already loved him to bits 

So I drew them as their young selves, going on adventures and finding new anomalies  

I've been experimenting with styles and stuff, cause I draw a lot in the GF style as well as my own, so I decided to find a middle point between them? And besides it'll help me find some variety in my own style as well. I feel like my style has gotten a little more cartoon-ish? But I like it, bringing new elements to your style is not bad  

I actually really like this? Except the background, that could be a little better Ahhh grass, my sworn enemy

Enjoy!

This is so cute and Ford is one of my lovers from Gravity Falls for sure, the other being Stan.  I just adore and love the Stan Twins to bits.  

Anyway, loving your style of arts too.

Ahh, this is so nice! I really love how you've combined the styles What you're doing is a really good idea, actually, since drawing in other styles and incorporating bits into your own style is probably one of the best ways to evolve your style and improve your skills (well...I think so, anyway haha xD). I think what you're doing with your style looks great!!
Btw are you thinking of doing Inktober? I think I'm gonna try and give it a shot this year but I will most certainly fail miserably/die over the month ahahah

ArcherVale In reply to picnokinesis [2016-09-28 20:37:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!!  
Yeah actually, I noticed that when starting to try and replicate the style of gf, you learn a few tricks and little things you can incorporate on your own and let it evolve so it isn't stuck in the same place for a long time, I'll try to do that more often with some other styles I like haha! Thank you!!  

Yeah I think I will, I already bought 2 sharpies in case I wanted to do it again but I don't think I'm mentally ready still xD Like I said I would think about it a year ago cause I thought I had the time to think about doing it again and now it's here and I'm not ready at all haha 
It's understandable that you think that xD I thought so too last time, it ended up being a lot of fun, but I think this year I'm not gonna worry myself in finishing all 31 days, I'll do as many as I can

picnokinesis In reply to ArcherVale [2016-09-28 21:42:39 +0000 UTC]

I should totally do it more often as well xD Like, I know it's good practise but I tend to leave other people's styles well alone (or I just look at them and incorporate little bits rather than actually trying to recreate them to see how they work). But yeah, what you've done looks super awesome, so kudos to you!
Hahahaha oh man, at least that makes two of us!
That's actually really comforting advice ahah xD I'm about to start my second year of uni, so it's gonna be super hectic, but I really want to do it, so hopefully it'll work out ok! I've made the inktober calender with the prompts on it my desktop background temporarily so I don't forget to do it each day XD

ArcherVale In reply to picnokinesis [2016-09-29 01:06:44 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry about it, I do exactly the same xD But yeah after doing it I do recommend you give it a try, it helps to see what can improve your style and what just doesn't work. It's also nice to draw in a different style every once in a while even though it is just sketches and stuff, just so you're not stuck only drawing in your style forever 
Thank you!!  
yep! haha 
Oh man yeah, I totally understand that. I was in college last year and it made it harder to get them all done so I would definitely suggest not stressing too much about it, since really inktober is just made to have fun and practice with ink  
Dammit I don't even have ideas for this year xD I may start asking for prompts on tumblr or something...I'm so screwed xD 
btw now that you mention doing inktober ,are you gonna post them everyday or just a compilation of them at the end of the month?

picnokinesis In reply to ArcherVale [2016-09-29 15:27:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh no! I hope you get some good inspiration when it comes to it xD I haven't actually decided whether to use the official prompts or not...tbh I could just draw one of my characters each time and I'd be sussed, since I have the right number! It depends, though, I'll probably just do random stuff. I kinda want to work on drawing characters interacting, so I might give that a shot.
I haven't actually decided yet...I like the idea of submitting them on the day I've drawn them, but it might be more practical to do them in a compilation...actually, I think I'll do them as a compilation since that way I don't clutter up my gallery too much? I might do weekly compilations? Or fortnightly? I dunno haha xD What are you thinking of doing?

ArcherVale In reply to picnokinesis [2016-09-30 18:27:46 +0000 UTC]

I've been getting a few ideas but not enough so I'm definitely asking for prompts now xD It's also not good I just thought of a Peter Pan/Gravity Falls AU I really want to draw things about but I don't think that'll work for Inktober so I either get it done right now or wait till the end of the month... oh no xD 
If I really fail with inspiration I might use the list but meh, I don't know xD 
I've seen people do a compilation a week so that's definitely a good option if you don't want to wait till the end of the month to post them all, I think I might do the same as last year and post each day on tumblr and then do a compilation at the end of the month, but I'm still not sure really xD

picnokinesis In reply to ArcherVale [2016-09-30 21:31:50 +0000 UTC]

Haha, fair play xD I might end up asking for prompts if I get stuck....oh cool!! That sounds so awesome! Maybe you could do some character concepts in ink for it or something? I dunno...but it sounds so cool! (I hope you don't have to wait til the end of the month...)
I'm thinking of doing random stuff, but maybe including some kind of link/reference to the prompt on the list? Maybe if I can be bothered xD I've got a lot of music I've found recently that I want to do pictures for, so I might use inktober as an opportunity to do that. I might do an Archie and Taka one, since I don't give them enough love! xD
Yeah, I think I will do the weekly compilation, although I might post them each day on Facebook and annoy all my irl friends xD

ArcherVale In reply to picnokinesis [2016-10-01 00:55:04 +0000 UTC]

not a bad idea tbh xD Getting stuck is so easy when you have to do 31 drawings haha 
Maybe, or maybe I'll see if I can at least post some preview or concept for it and then maybe leave a day to develop it more or something, I definitely don't want to let it sit the whole month cause I don't want to forget about it xD 
I feel like the list is a good thing when you're stuck but I would much rather do my own ideas otherwise I'll feel like I'm not doing it for myself or something, if that makes sense xD 
Hahah, good call!
