hello! I hear you take requests and are really good at what you do, may I request song lyrics?
yeah!! of course!! what do u want
ive been watching les mis with my friend lately and feels
i screwed up the first two lines and then decided to do it purposefully for the next four heck yeah !! thanks @theshitpostcalligrapher for motivating me to write one more thing even though i’d already put away my calligraphy stuff for today
req’d by @cronusamporaofficial
me
ignore the little “w” in the corner – i was experimenting with something.
i spent twenty minutes on these three letters give me notes please
(requests are open, if you like my work!)
So over the past week or so, I’ve done over 200 calligraphy requests–and trust me, I’ve counted–and so I decided to make a patreon! If you’ve liked what i’ve made the past month I would really appreciate if you even just donate a dollar, or maybe want a physical copy, want the words to be in a spiral pattern, or even want something longer than the word limit I’ve set on here feel free to check it out! I’ll also start putting patron-exclusive pieces up there as well
and tbh, i will take much more time and care for pieces people are paying me to do, doing it and redoing it until I’m satisfied rather until it’s finished so the quality would be better
tl;dr if you like my calligraphy please check out my patreon! thanks!
the link is here!
ps here are some of the ones i like best!

became a she-ra stan while i was gone

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:
used a reference for everything
thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)
sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing
THUMBNAILS
color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work
you like that pose? redo it one more time
USE A DAMN REFERENCE
do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy
draw the goddamn background you coward
just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand
the rule of thirds WORKS
take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint
know that art takes longer as you get better at it
draw the seams on clothes
stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts
just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works
stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.
