Aa thank you  ! Always loved that trope of silly little wide eyed black cats

Aha, absolutely wonderful! I love birds of all kinds. 

[Ves]

Aa same  love all birds - pigeons and jackdaws are my favourite though (that’s where my username comes from hehe). I’ve been meaning to make a bird fursona but can’t quite figure out the proportions of how to do it TwT

And to celebrate becoming an Avid Aardvark  - I have drawn a doodle of a happy little green aardvark   

[Ves]

Been having some pretty bad art block  tried just getting a few doodles down  to get some creativity out

Such wonderful colours! My favourite thing to do with art block, is to doodle on some printer paper with a ball-point pen.. If that doesn't work, I go for a long walk, and wait until the inspiration strikes me 

I adore that aardvark. So sweet!

[Wuff-Wuff]

Aww Ves! Sorry for asking for your deviant art link on another page  it's all here after all! Such lovely art  after seeing your pixel art I do wonder: did you ever make art for a game?

I do hope you break through the block. I myself am in one musically speaking  I feel like I put myself under too much external pressure and lost touch of my intrinsic motivations. Maybe some soul searching could help you too

[Ves]

Thank you for the kind words!  Would really like to make a game someday -coding though, as much as I love it, is not my strong suit 

And I feel ya on the art/music block - so hard not to expect your pieces to be as good as some of your best if you get what I mean. Just been doing some small loose fandom doodles to try get through it heh. Probably has something to do with ADHD - I get random day-long creative bursts then months of nothing 

[Wuff-Wuff]

Uff, yeah  coding would be hard for me too. How did you get into pixel art btw? Actually art in general  ?

I personally was never diagnosed with it, but I know a few people with ADHD and ADD. Incredibly active people who I admire a lot for it  it must be tough with so many things these days trying to grab our attention  for me personally, the inability to day dream often causes a huge artistic block.
I like your solution though Ves, by doodling you're still honing your art skills. Here's hoping one of those doodles ends up being your next master piece 

[Ves]

I’ve honestly been drawing as long as I can remember - mainly designing sweet shops and drawing little scenes with lots of little people doing random things (I should really try find some of my drawing from 10 year old me). As for pixel art - a year or two ago I think I saw some really cool art on an art discord server, and made some stuff on ms paint. Sadly lost a lot of those drawings  but I still remember a lot of them. Funnily enough I kept doing pixel art on my tablet as it has very little storage (the original reason pixel art was enough made) and well haven’t felt any reason to move on from it 

Hehe Hoping one of my doodles turns into a bigger artwork


For now: here’s a drawing I did for someone a ,,fair while ago   


[image ID: a pixelated drawing of an anthro red panda posing with peace signs. She has a purple bob, a blue necklace, white crop top and jeans shorts. She is winking and sticking her tongue out, and has a bushy tail.

Aww that sounds adoreable  and also really impressive for 10 years old. Scenes express so much without words 
I really adore your pixel art style  I'm glad you didn't abandon it. Do you use a stylus?

The red panda is soooooooo good!    I can't put my finger on it (well besudes the fact that you're just a great artist of course) somehow the lack of detail a pixel brings with itself, mixed with the detail you give your art awakens something. The mind seems to smoothen out the pixels. 

[Ves]

Thank you  and Yeah I use a stylus! The weird “work around” I have to use on my drawing program to draw pixel art means when I use my fingers the opacity is really low  I do love using a stylus though cuz the greater control, and it does feel a little like drawing on paper.

Really been on a drawing kick these past couple days  Here's a kinda punk otter hehe
Kinda based off ipsome people I know, but also piercings are just pretty cool - wayyy to nervous to ever actually get any myself; I don’t even have my ears pierced  =W=

    have you ever thought of combining your current art style with your oldet one (scenes)? It's a totally different style, but one of my favourite artists, Louis Wain, used to draw cats in all kind of "human" scenes, likebat school or performing a little cat concert outdoors. He did end up "losing his mind" (people are guessing schizophrenia) and then changed his art style completley. Just thinking out loud (or thinking out silently written?) here.  it's so cool to be on a forum with such talented people and see the progression made.

Awww she's so cool! The colour fits her as well hmmh~ perhaps talking about it with those people you know who have them could help alleviate your nervousness  I'm no good for that  I'm just as nervous

[Ves]

Oo that’d be a cool idea - I’d need to learn backgrounds though 

been watching some close up footage of isopods (like the vid on my profile hehe) and realised I haven’t been drawing them very anatomically correct - turns out their antenna are actually below their eyes and near their mouth!
So I’ve been experimenting drawing Iso with more isopod-like proportions, looks a little space alien though

Aww the isopod is sooo cute  man, making insects and other arthropods look cute in a more "human" way must be tough. I mean, I love the little cuties, even spiders make me go "oh gosh darling! Aren't you gorgeous  "
But close close up they all look so alien! Good job at making the isopod looking so sweet
