where I dump my scribbles

Aaand here is what I’ve been busy with (aside from school, at least) for the past week or so!

I got the absolute pleasure of working with mandopony on a music video for his new Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 song, “Survive the Night”!

Should definitely check it out; it’s a great song! I did all the art seen in it (pff), but the rest of the real magic is aaall from Mando! <3

FOR GOD'S SAKE, FREDDY! JUST TELL BONNIE HOW YOU FEEL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Must be some pretty good pizza.

Dear Orlando Fox. I am a beginner artist, and would like to know if you had any tips on making my sketches look better. I must admit i'm not a very skilled artist, nor am I good one at that, but I would appreciate it greatly if you could give me some pointers as to improving myself as an artist. Regards, Anon.

Heya!

Being I still remember a bit of how I started drawing more constantly, I would say to first get a firm grasp of your favorite subject matters. Drawing in itself is a great enjoyment, yes, but having a particular thing TO draw is key as well. Do you like? People? Plants? Animals? Anything that applies to you, I’d say grab some references (or watch from real life) and get to making attempts at drawing just that!

I recall when I first started drawing that I would draw characters from my favorite cartoon shows on TV. (Perry the Platypus, Scooby Doo, Brian Griffin, etc.) It was also from there I realized I had big admiration for anthropomorphic animal characters and the rest is history!

Not everyone is great at drawing when they first start out. And even then, all beginning artists show potential to become even better with lots of practice. And how to practice? Drawing and sketching a LOT.

And please know, even on days if you feel like your art isn’t at it’s best, keep drawing. Even on bad art days, any show of attempts is improvement (and you could even get better at drawing on days where you feel like you can’t)!

Take these sketches I did today during school this morning as example!

I’m not fully satisfied with a good chunk of these (and most likely because not all are full bodies of anything). As relieved as I get to still be able to draw a good headshot of a character, it’s days like today where I don’t think I can get a body right that I become frustrated. As an attempt to resolve this, I will take a break from drawing for a good hour or two before attempting to doodle somewhere again, but I do not give up entirely.

When I came back to a pen/pencil and paper to draw something- anything- again, I started getting (what I think to be) better results. (And I drew these in a more ‘organized’ state specifically to provide another set of sketches for this ask!) -

Bodies are still fairly wonky to me, but I still had fun with it! Also, as you may notice on the right half of this sheet, I dedicated more to drawing with focus on the body than necessarily the face/expression to include. Focusing yourself and sketching one particular body feature on a character can go a long way in improving your art, let alone making your sketches look better.

(and the fact that I’ve barely gotten six hours of sleep in the past 48 hours or so probably has to do with it, but SHH. :’D)

But, “unfortunately”, this all takes time to improve yourself upon! Really, just relax and pace yourself and draw whatever you please! The more you adjust to making lines and scratches with a pencil in your hand, the more you’ll find out what works best for you! <3

These are pretty fun to do! :D

Don't you ever stop drawing, buddy. I see your art all over the web, in fact its how I found you right now! I love your art, its amazing. You are a huge part of the FNAF Fandom

Will do! <3

And thank you so much! Insanely flattered my art seems to be getting around a bit more, and more so that you’d want to find me. <:)

Gosh… I wouldn’t say that. <X) I could name quite a few other folks that have done MUCH much more in/for the FNAF fandom, especially compared to me. I’m just another lil part of it!

SHES COCO FOR… pizza puffs? Or something, I guess. :X
(art’s been off all day, just trying to goof off with a few ideas~)

It would likely take Freddy some getting used to, but faceless Bonnie gives Freddy a clearer view of that bunny’s eyes… c:

Are you hoping they'll make a FNAF 3 and maybe a TV show?

I wouldn’t mind seeing more official FNAF stuff, sure! If Scott somehow managed to top himself yet again with another… something of FNAF, I’m sure I’d see what’s up! <3

Why does gender mean so much to people? It drives me crazy seeing pretty much every Fnaf blog I follow get angry because of it..

Apologies if I’m also giving off the impression that I’m really ‘concerned’(?) about gender roles of any of the FNAF crew(s). I’m actually fairly indifferent about it. Sure, I have my preferred genders/gender pronouns for the majority of them, but they’re likely to go against someone else’s thoughts. I don’t make a big deal out of it, though; I just respect how another person may interpret them.

I still think it polite to answer to questions on my opinions of what they may be, though! I’m sorry if this question gets annoying for me to answer again on occasion, though. (It seems I need to keep reiterating that I interpret Bonnie as androgynous, ‘cause of my own preference/this little gender argument on him. ^^;)

But, eh, I’m not really close minded. If you even feel the need to have a gender, label, or whatever to identify the character as, do it to your liking! A character’s a character in my eyes. :)
