Hello there! New drawing time. This is Snowball's OC, Snowball.

A few things. First, I will be posting a different version in the near future. This is a scan of the drawing. I will also be photographing it with my DSLR, as my scanner is having issues capturing all the subtleties of the colors. Hopefully I can address that When it is photographed I will post a compare and contrast.

Good evening FIMFIction! Earlier tonight a good friend of mine shared a very intriguing article with me. He did so after I mention that I was currently reading Just My Type, a book about typography that is a fun synthesis of entry-level text, historical survey, and guide to what makes for good typography. It's a fairly slim volume, so it isn't exactly comprehensive, but it has some very intriguing tidbits (including the fact that the font Gill Sans was created by an Englishman who

When it comes to drawing humans, one of the most common issues people have is drawing hands. Hands are possibly the most complex arrangement on the human body, with more varying contours and individual anatomical parts than others, such as the limbs, face, etc. It's easy to get in to the habit of not drawing hands, and simply hiding them.

One staple of my recent musical rotation has been a set of youtube videos that are essentially "mixtapes"/compilations by a soundcloud user known as Purple Juno. The musical styles vary somewhat, but all of them are what would be generally considered "downtempo". Ambient, chillout, chillwave, whatever term you want to use. Each one has a broad theme. They're relaxing, fun, cool, and make great background music to drawing, modelmaking, retrogaming, and pretty much anything else.

So, if you appreciate futuresynth, dreamwave, and 80's revival type stuff, you'll want to check this out. It came up in a youtube recommendation. I gave it a listen, and was instantly hooked. I've been listening to this quite a lot over the past few days.

Since a few people liked the last one...I decided to post this next cupcake picture, which I took a while back.

This came from the same place. I got it to go, so I could take this picture. This is an actual cupcake they make. It's also awesome.

Because everything can be an art form, and beauty is all around us.

Afternoon. So, today we have a new piece of non-hoers fanart.

I've recently been playing through the original Dragon Quest for NES. The title has some peculiar monsters in it, with unique visual designs. In fact, the series, and particularly the visuals, were the creation of Akira Toriyama, of Dragon Ball fame. Anyway, I decided to sketch some of the characters with illustration ink. First up is the Druin, a flying squid-like creature.

Here is what it looks like in the game;
