Hello, sorry if you've answered this question before, but what advice would you give to a absolute beginner learning to draw fantasy character illustration art? (Also do you draw while high? Since that is the only way I know how I can experience new methods of thought openly without judgement.)

Hey! Sorry, i havent checked asks in a while!

There's 2 things id recommend an absolute beginner do:

Learn fundamentals. Check out /ic/'s How to Draw resource. They've put together a pretty comprehensive guide including a number of books and tutorials from all around the web. I'd recommend the free Proko and Andrew Loomis stuff they have. Preferably, start learning with pencil on paper.

Identify 5-10 of your favourite professional artists, and build a large reference library with their art. Study the hell out of it. Identify which qualities of their art you're keen on, and try to imitate them. This will help you figure out your own style and aesthetic sensibilities.

PS: I dont smoke, but i do have artist friends who like drawing under the influence. You do whatever you feel makes you perform the best!

The psychic gave the reporter a scoop—she saw the story coming a mile away Clair Voyance was once a household name, the precocious child star of “Clair-ity,” a 1970s television program that capitalized on her eerie intuition and unsettlingly accurate predictions. Decades later, she still wears the mystique like a second skin. Now in her forties, Clair is a real psychic—elegant, enigmatic, and deeply withdrawn from the spotlight that once adored her. She carries herself with an air of mystery, her aloofness giving her a somewhat unapproachable demeanor, though for good reason. Her past has left her guarded, perhaps jaded, but she still feels the pull of fate and responsibility. Clair is more attuned to the spirit world than she’d like to admit, and though she keeps her distance from most people, she holds a quiet respect for Dean and those like him (though she believes he has potential for more).

Justin Time is a paranormal journalist with the energy of a game show host and the stubbornness of a dog with a bone. He’s got a tendency to speak before he thinks and believes wholeheartedly in things most people laugh at—ghosts, cryptids, psychic powers, and ancient curses. Though his methods may be questionable—he has a habit of showing up uninvited and is incredibly nosy—his heart is always in the right place. He genuinely wants to uncover the mysteries of the unknown, not just for fame, but because he believes. In Dean, he sees a goldmine of stories, and in Clair, a living legend. He’s relentless, talkative, and occasionally foolish, but his earnestness gives him an unexpected charm.
