I guess you could kinda think of it as the longest you've hyper-fixated on a fandom? But essentially, just how long you've been actively drawing/writing/reading/or looking for stuff for a fandom without any die down for that fixation or focus on that fandom.

(For example: If you were really focused in a fandom for like a year, but your attention went to other fandoms to fixate on and you later went back to that previous fandom and focused on it for like 3 years straight: you would choose the 2-3 years option. Because the longest you've focused/ fixated/been active for a particular fandom without any "breaks" from it is 3 years.)

Hoope that clears it up if anyone was confused by what I meant

An artist recently got me thinking about this (due to unfortunate accusations toward them). And while I know I personally am not very affectionate with my sister (but I'm not a very affectionate person, I've realized so....), I was curious how affectionate people tend to be with siblings (in terms of what they do, not how often) Tried covering all the bases to the best of my ability.

I really love your art style with the very visible brush strokes and distinct shades. I've actually been to an art school but I still never really got good at drawing, but I still, I get so much joy from looking at beautiful artwork like yours.

Thank you /แ  หต> ห• <หตใƒž

I never know how to respond to compliments other than saying thank you, but know that I mean it!

Art school, personally, helped me in some ways and not so much in others. While I don't think it exactly helped me grasp the style I wanted (something I've been having a better idea of lately now but still a little fuzzy!), it certainly helped me to try and discipline myself (like gesture drawings. I try to do gestures every day even if I don't plan on drawing. I've been slacking a bit on it, but have been getting back into it lately) among other things.

I realized I wanted a more "painterly" look with my art after college, and is something I'm exploring in terms of the different ways to go about it.

Two artists I suggest maaaaybe checking out are bluebescuits (they're only on Insta and Twitter, so, sad. But their youtube has been helpful to watch) and @/sonyshock (who is on Tumblr among other places! They also have a youtube channel that I've found helpful to watch!)

The former is where I got the idea of wanting to do more painting, and the latter is whose techniques I've been practicing with lately! But if you like my art, you might like their's as well!

I actually have a full folder for art inspirations, and many ideas/styles clash with each other haha

So they're not the only two I take inspo from exactly, but they've definitely been a pair that's been important for me learning and having a better grasp on digital painting, specifically I think.

I know some people keep their style the same no matter the fandom (like I would say that's pretty common with people who do anime art styles), and then other people adjust their styles to fall more in line with the style of certain fandoms (whether completely or a mix with their usual style).

And I was curious where most artists fall in line with this.
