I’m sorry to bother you, but do you have any tips for how to learn to draw?, how did you start to draw? How did you improve? How did you learn to draw what you wanted? You’re so talented and I love your art ❣️

Thank you! Hmm I don’t think I really have as many tips other than study and not just draw. Like, ideally what you wanna do is work on your observational skills by studying lots and lots of real life refs. You can do this by a variety of ways such as anatomy study (with the actual muscle details), dissecting things into shape language (what are the major shapes used, where/how do they connect?) in which tracing over a picture can be useful as well. Note that you need to be actively looking at what you’re drawing when you try to trace by learning- simply drawing over lines will not help you. As an example, you can do something like this:

What works for me may not work for you, but I find it helpful to break down bodies into shape language that msoothly flows into each other. So for example, how the pectorals connect to the shoulders etc. Tracing over it isn’t even necessary perse, you can also just look at a picture and try to draw the big shapes you see. This will actually help you build your base sketch as well, and once you have a good idea of how shapes work in 3D, you can build off a reference without copying it for example.

Once you start learning these things and work on your observational skills, you start being able to apply it to other things. You’ll notice yourself getting better at picturing shapes in 3D. You can also choose to start simple, building up to complex shapes. 

I hope that helps!

Gardens of the Witches

Already starting to plan this years garden so I thought I should do a post on Witch Gardens

Moonlight Garden

A garden that blooms in the moonlight, a great place to perform night time rituals, meditations, or to just take a midnight stroll. A garden that is full of magick even after the sun sets. 

Plants to add in your moonlight garden:

Moonflower: (Ipomoea alba) A nocturnal relative of the morning glory. Has fragrant flowers that open at dusk and close by dawn.    

Evening Primrose: (Oenothera biennis) Has beautiful, scented flowers that bloom only at dusk. 

Night Flox: (Zaluzianskya capensis) A sweetly fragranced flower that only unfurls its pinwheeled shaped flowers after dusk. 

Four O’Clock: (Mirabilis jalapa) Its scented flowers bloom at around 4:00pm (hence its name) and do not close up until morning. 

Queen of the Night: (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) A species of cactus whose flowers only open at night. Attracts moths and bats!!!

Night Blooming Jessamine: (Cestrum nocturnum) Strong, sweet scented star shaped flowers that only bloom at night. Attracts moths and bats!!! All parts are toxic, do not ingest!

Evening Stock: (Matthiola longipetala) Produces lots of small blossoms that produce a perfume described as a mix of vanilla, rose, spice, and cloves only after the sun sets.

Ever-Flowering Gladiolus: (Gladiolus tristis) Release a strong almond fragrance after dusk.
