Been wanting to do this journal meme for a while but haven’t had the energy too >_<
Just a quick edit, I did not create this meme, and I don’t know who did, sorry ;-;
RULES:
Pick one option per question if possible - even the smallest preference counts. If not possible, explain your answer!
Digital art OR traditional art?
Definitely digital. Although I’ve fallen in love with more traditional mediums thanks to my college course, digital is still my main medium by far. Plus I just don’t see any other use for my apple pencil if not for digital art, and at that point it’s probably a financial loss lmao-
Original concepts/characters OR fanart/canon characters?
Hmm, probably original tbh. I don’t really go looking for fanart, but I’ll like it if I see it pop up in my feed. Plus I think it’s just sweet to get all excited about other peoples original characters and concepts.
Original fiction OR fanfiction?
I don’t think I’ve ever actively engaged in fanfiction before.(aside from those old YouTube videos where people would rip into poorly written fanfiction made by children, I don’t fw that stuff anymore) So yeah definitely original fiction. <:
Sketch OR lineart?
Both can be painful in their own ways ngl lmaoo But, I guess if your sketch is clean enough it could count as lineart to a degree?? Plus it can be more freeing sometimes, and I kind of enjoy the messier look to it, so probably sketch.
Coloring OR shading?
I feel pretty indifferent to colouring my images, I mean, I enjoy putting together palettes and stuff but actually colour filling an image is kind of just, a whatever part of the process for me. I think shading is what really brings a piece together to make it feel more three-dimensional, and I kind of enjoy bringing those forms to life in my drawings, so probably shading.
Handwritten signature OR text signature?
Hand written all the way baby! I’ve always loved doodling and designing my own signature. I just wish I wouldn’t forget to add the damn thing 😭
Shrink canvas OR add a filter before posting?
Shrink, because I do that funny haha thing of defaulting to a screen sized canvas, doing a bunch of small sketches to see what sticks and having to shrink it later on to kill all of the negative space. This is how I do most of my work, I wonder if I need to change my process or not..?
Messy art OR clean art?
As much as I love the look of a well polished piece of art, I feel like you can really feel the artists self expression sometimes in looser and messier artworks. I really love to look at someone’s artwork and feel the joy or other such emotions they had creating it. Whether it be through their brush/pencil work, their rendering or their stylising of certain fundamentals.
Bright colors OR muted colors?
Make my eyes bleed pretty please :3
Warm colors OR cold colors?
Cold I guess because blue is a cold colour and I am extremely bias. (If you couldn’t already tell, hehe..)
Graphics tablet with screen OR no screen?
I’ve never had one of those drawing tablet things before. I only have my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, so I’m not really sure how to answer this one…
Humans OR nonhumans?
I really want to get into drawing more humans (and I do but I still can’t do full bodies yet) but I’m definitely more inclined to animals and furries in general. I just always find them so endearing idk why.
Fur OR scales?
I forgor to answer this one. Probably fur because I draw animals and furries, but I do like a scaly friend as well ^v^
Edgy characters OR wholesome characters?
Tbh I feel like all characters have got to have a bit of edge to them, we can’t be happy go lucky all of time. We all have our own personal demons and outbursts in life, and I think it’s just more realistic to have multiple sides to a character. I think I just went way off topic, oh god. Uhh tldr, I’ll take the shadow the hedgehog route.
High-poly models OR low-poly models?
I like low poly ones more aesthetically, but I don’t have anything against games that try to go more realistic. (So long as no artists die in the process.)
Music OR podcasts while drawing?
Music or stupidly long YouTube videos.
