JF's Art and Stuff

[Jesusfreakette]

Hello there Welcome to JF's Art Page, AKA, Watch Me Get Better!

I am looking to draw art! Just art! Throw me a challenge! I'll come up with my own stuff to practice if you don't give me anything, but it's way more fun to draw for you

Feel free to offer me a challenge on characters, although I tend to shy away from doing realistic people, cause I get enough of that in my regular art training

I don't just like to be given a character sheet - I like to show them in an environment, communicating an idea, etc. My favorite game to play is One Picture One Sentence - communicate a story, scene, event, feeling, into one picture and one sentence

I listed a few of my favorite mediums and styles. I will use whatever I have available, but you can request something like, "please don't do simple cartoons," or "could you include the text in the picture?" or something like that.

I might not follow character references or every detail you give me (largely cause I'm not always good enough to get all the details!), but if you're particularly wanting certain details, you can tell me and I'll see if I can include them

Anyways, I like playing artist and I like playing it with y'all So feel free to submit an idea! I might not reach everyone, but I'll play as as much as I can!

I do not always have access to adequate color materials, so I only take in so many requests for colored pieces.


Anyways, here are some examples:

I am also considering taking in requests for short stories, introductions, etc., because I think these are fun and have much more experience communicating in the written word than with art! These could be storybook style or more dramatic pieces. If you would be interested, here is one intro I did for The Void Project a few months back:

I love it! <3
Especially how you did the rain and dark gloomy background

 

[Darumy]

Whoa, nice! @_@ I can imagine this going in a storybook or something.

 

[dizzy bone]

Lovely.. The mood is great. I also feel so bad for my voided villagers T_T I love seeing them on mainstreet
This would make an awesome etching.

SO.. AMAZIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTOTT♥♥

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Thanks for the support guys!

I think what it's really lacking is a stronger use of white space... I haven't figured that out yet with pen and ink! I'm also not a fan of the rain blobs. Not really helping. But I do really like how the space around them is dark and scattered, and for the most part, I think I nailed the planes on the villagers and how they should look. I'm more positive to it now in the morning than when I went to sleep...

Anyone else have thoughts? I think I'll redo it cause it has potential! Or do something else, wherever the wind blows me

In my opinion, I think otherwise
it is perfect the way it is♥

try and make one of Static♥
like, try to show the evil side of him using your ink

I really like it, but I'm not sure about the rain splotches haha n.n' (Im not sure Im against them either though) But its really nice. I looked at it for a long time. It reminds me of the old winnie the pooh drawings (I hope that doesn't both you). I would genuinely love to see more, specifically about the lives of your villagers... God I really like this picture.

As for a comment the shading fades out above the umbrella, but its pretty dark on the side of the kangaroo. It makes sense with how you centered it, but personally I would recenter and make that difference less dramatic. /Still staring at this picture though/

 

[KaptenK]

I love it <3 The shading is great and I love the perspective and atmosphere. If you would ever take request I'd have a very special one for you (I've been looking for a good artist that uses ink and you'd be perfect) so if you ever do please let me know c:

Again, amazing art :3

Comparing my piece to EH Shepard? That's a major compliment!!

This was a rush piece. I kinda just wanted to see if I thought I could achieve an AC piece in pen and ink. I really think it seems promising, and I've already started a few more! I hope I can hash out those details, and avoid a few of the rougher mistakes I made in this one with more careful planning. I'm excited to see what the future brings

UPDATE: I thought I'd add a few more Again guys, really, y'all are so welcoming. It's such a safe community, and that's so nice!

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Tossing some ideas about... I pretty much put all the info up there... But here it is again to make it easier to read...

I did a quick rehash of the eyes digitally... I think this shape is going to work a lot better... I think next time I'll try doing minimal lines and lots of white space. I'll probably refer to EH Shepard for reference Or Pauline Baynes! Both of them are great at what they do.


Would anyone be interested in commissions while I'm practicing? Obviously I'd be learning as I go, but I'm really trying to learn how to put characters in a space and environment, as well as pen and ink. That's not the usual mayor/villager/lone character/sig sort of thing that usually goes on in commissions here... I'm doing a one-a-day challenge with art in order to improve, so I think having a regular source of commissions, rather than relying on random inspiration, could be really helpful!

Comments welcomed...

 

[Joonbug]

Id love to commission you. Would you want to do more villager interactions like you have been?

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Really anything that's in an environment! So, not floating in space or just with a brief shadow, but a little more depth. I want to learn harsher perspective, but I'm trying to handle the basics first, which is why I just did benches, a little beach, etc. KaptenK has me working on something inside a little bus stop. And I love the villagers which is why I've been doing them Plus they're pretty simple! Very welcoming to a student So basically... More than just a character concept, but a scene... Although all of it's good practice, honestly, that's just my target right now!

 

[Joonbug]

I'd ask for one of one of my new villagers coming off the train or maybe while they are on it. Or coming out of the station. I have gotten Cherry, Genji, and Lopez from cycling towns, and they keep telling me about how they are sad that they didn't get to really know the last person, and how they hope they'll get friends this time. And Cherry talks/hints about how she is worried living on her own. I hope that you might get an idea from that? If not I hope I can throw in stuff from my first town. haha I read into my villagers too much

That is a completely precious idea! I'd love to try! Do you want a captioned text with it?

 

[Joonbug]

Sure. :3 I love how it looks like a children's book with it.

I don't know what you'll do with it so I don't have a caption myself haha

 

[Mewmewmewm]

OH MY GOSH THE FEELSSSSS

the feels man

 

[Jesusfreakette]

No worries I've already got ideas!

Since I haven't done a lot of these, I'm not sure how long it will take me, so I'll just let you know when it's done!

 

[Joonbug]

Sure. Tell me if you want anything in return, hun :3

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Nah, for now, I'm in it for the art

(And thanks mewmew!!)
