Beautiful art, your style has so much Life in it!! Keep going! Even though I graduated from art school two years ago, I never learned the importance of making time for my art. You making so much time for yours has definitely inspired me! Also! It's never too late to learn how to ride a bike! :D

Good art bro

[@mynameiszer0]

Which pens/markers/anything really did you use in the sketchbook? Especially for the inking/lineart.

[@ryoodraws]

Hi! I used Arteza 0.4 ink pens for linework, 0.7 led mechanical pencils, crayola marker set, and a prang watercolor set. These are all inexpensive materials. Hope this helps!

May I know what sketchbook this is? it seems like it's mixed media? can it handle gouache?

[@ryoodraws]

Hiiii! I used a Moleskine art Sketchbook. I didn't use gouache on it but I would assume so because when I drew on there, the pages were fairly thick and sustainable with the different medias I used: watercolor, paint, ink, pencil, etc. Here is their website for more info: www.moleskine.com/en-us/shop/notebooks/art-collection/sketchbook/sketchbook-scarlet-red-8053853603111.html Here is my specific sketchbook: www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Cover-Sketchbook-Plain-Scarlet/dp/8862930348?th=1 I would also recommend the leuchturm1917 sketchbook as I know other calartians that used it and it seems like a mixed media sketchbook as well :) Hope this helps!

ur so good ryan teach me damn

[@ryoodraws]

i’m just tryna be like you 🤗

[@fifi4046]

how do you decide what to draw?

[@ryoodraws]

Hey! A lot of the time when i'm stuck, I tend to look at videos of people doing everyday activities and pause it and draw them. If i'm outside and want to draw, I literally just draw what I see in front of me and generally become inspired afterwards. Other than that, you can reference what inspires you and draw similar ideas/concepts/characters in your own way. Hope this helps :)
