Cinnamon Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hello, my name is Cinnamon and this is my art thread! (Shock horror! Really??!). I am going to post random things I do, mostly sketches, perhaps the occasional something else, if I write a thing that I want feedback on, or make a really good looking meal or something. We'll see! That is the mystery of the " n' stuff " at the end of the thread title. I would really appreciate it if you could give me lots of constructive criticism because I really want to improve my skills and become better at this thing I love! So without further ado... here are some sketches for y'all. Spoiler This dude is a random drawing I did when I couldn't sleep the other night, I liked it better before I added the fine liner and the yellow but, oh well! Spoiler Number two this one is also a 'late night I cant sleep' but it has the added bonus of being drawn while I was having a breakdown and was bawling my eyes out! Yay! Don't you just looove bad mental health! :/ Here's a game; can you spot the tearstains I've tried to draw over/ hide? Its tricky! Spoiler ^^^ I don't love the face on this one, but the hair looks cool and flowy so I still like it. PS. her name is Ixchel (ish-elle) This is Eddie. My little brother named him. (awwwwww) Just ignore the left hand with the helmet, its kinda sketch. (get it? 'sketch', and it is a sketch) The typography at the bottom is supposed to be on his shirt, but I don't really know how to make clothes look good with folds and things so I definitely didn't know how I would go about logo-ing without it looking absolutely terrible. Bonus points if you get the Artemis Fowl reference. Spoiler Spoiler Thank you Facepalm, Star and Aes for giving me the push I needed to actually do this! @Ookla the 3 Frogs ina Coat, @Ookla The Praetorium, @Ookla the Ta'veren That is all for now, but you will soon get more! Please give me feedback, and I hope you enjoy! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aspiring Archivist Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Woah! I really like the style! Can't give much feedback other than that cause I'm a terrible artist myself, but I like them a lot.

Szeth's Facepalm Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) i am going to cry because i do not understand the Artemis reference, and that is one of my favorite book series ever written ;-; might you explain it to a poor simpletoon? haha see i slipped one in there hehehe and your art style is so pretty! i especially like the second one (though i am saddened by the suffering present at its creation). edit: wait... is "randomosity" what's written on the t-shirt Artemis's mom tries to make him wear?

Indeed it is!! I just finished drawing this! My little bro wanted me to draw a “dude with fire hair” so an attempt was made. The hair doesn’t look very fire-y but it is still pretty cool! Oh and just ignore the thing in the top left that was just for me to remember where my light source was.

Edema Rue Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I love that! Is it bad that it reminds me of either Will or Lester from the Trials of Apollo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Silvereye Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 That looks really good. You should definitely keep on! (Don't ask me for feedback, though. My criticism capacity in that field is equivalent to my drawing skills, which have not progressed since kindergarten.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Hello! I am terribly sorry about the lack of posting art . I am currently on holidays overseas (yay!) and the only devices I have access to don’t have international coverage so I can only get online when I am on the internet at my grandparents house, their internet is not the best so I cannot upload images I will have lots and lots of art for this thread when I get home but sadly that is not until late January (not sure of the precise dates but I think it is around the 24th) Just thought I’d let you know, I am still planning on posting in this thread, I am just unable to for a while. Happy Koloss Head Munching Day to everyone! -Cin Edited December 19, 2022 by Ookla the catastrophizer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Double posting! oh no!!!!! Welp I'm back and I have the glorious internet. I actually didn't draw as much as I should have but I did do some sketching and have a couple unfinished sketches I can share with you guys. Again please, I want feedback! If I don't get any feedback I will come for your souls thank you! Spoiler this is just a sketch of some mountains and trees and a lake that I did when I needed to relax. I added some yellow fineliner to it because I wanted to. Spoiler This is just a page of random nonsense I did when I was bored. Spoiler Some hands in different positions for practice. Spoiler Unfinished sketches number one and two, I will continue them and share the progress with you. Spoiler just a sword. Swords are cool so I drew one! It is loosely inspired by the design of Gavilar's Shardblade Spoiler This it a wack looking tree I sketched. I don't know what is wrong with it, it just feels off. Maybe it is the trunk thickness or the thin branches? I don't know. suggestions? Spoiler This last one I didn't really plan or anything, I was just sad and confused about who I was and some stuff that I shall not disclose. This is what came out. I actually really like this even though it is not the best thing I have drawn, I feel like it has a part of my soul captured in it. Cheesy much? Spoiler sorry idk how to get rid of this, just ignore it Spoiler Edited January 25, 2023 by Cinnamon formatting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Oh my goodness gracious me! I found a sketckbook that I lost and guess what was in it? It was an unfinished drawing inspired by this short story by @Shining Silhouette! Quote I wait alone in the dark, listening. My hands are trembling with anticipation, vibrating to the hypnotic beat of my heart. My feet anxiously drum on the floor, pattering a rhythm unfamiliar to me. My brain is whirling at maximum speed, pleading with me to begin. Yet I cannot. I watch. My eyes drift along the landscape of my living room, sweeping past the throng of stringed instruments lined in a row, the pair of well-loved couches incessantly curtsying at one another, and the stack of music books balancing precariously in the corner. Above me, I hear my father pacing the floor of his office; it’s a quiet, comforting pattern. I close my eyes and begin to meditate. As I breathe, I feel currents of calming air fill my lungs. I exhale, willing my superfluous thoughts to follow my breath and evaporate into nothing. As my mind is cleared, I grow lighter, and I feel myself begin to float. I revel in this freedom, the wild liberty of the mind. I ascend, soaring to cerebral horizons far above my perceived mental limits, experiencing facets of reality I’d never dreamed of. I continue to cleanse my thoughts for a few minutes until I feel a pull from my body gently tugging me back, and I glide down into awareness. My mind is clear; I am ready. My fingertips inspect the patterns of the chiseled white in front of me, tenderly tracing the black and white slabs. Each has a distinct character, charisma, and charm. I imagine the colors that will soon be woven, picturing shades of emotion fearlessly melding together. I consider for an instant, then I select my palette. I relish this moment, when the painting is still shrouded in mystery. Then, finally, I thrust open the door of my imagination. It starts with one note: a low B-flat, resonant and strong, but susceptible to severe bouts of sentiment. A cluster from the upper octaves joins the mix, then tentatively makes its way down the glossy ivories. Tones mingle with one another, each combination adjusting the color. As the notes blend, they become spiraling lattices of harmony. Sound lingers in my ears for a moment, then curves past, dancing away to the peripherality of my perception. My hands move of their own accord, mutinously plastering the air with bundles of my most profound feelings. Sometimes, my inner thoughts are manifested so extraordinarily that I must sit in silence until I can fully digest the sensations. This period of introspection is excruciating, but I invariably continue, for I’m in an oasis of self-discovery, captivated to the extreme. At this moment, my faults, my flaws, and my failures all disappear. The light of my imagination is enough to banish my darkest fears from the forefront of my mind. I no longer feel inadequate, weak, or broken; here, I’m strong and powerful, sheltered and secure. I cry as I come to this realization, eyes welling up with tears of relief. These drops trickle past my nose to the bottom of my chin, where they dive down to the warm embrace of my carpet-cloaked floor. Music is my all, and I am my music. I am the fluttering birdsongs of the upper registers, the thundering growls of the rumbling bass, the triumphant trumpets of the middle of the instrument. The sound rippling through the room expresses the most intimate facets of my being. I am at peace. I am understood. Time is fluid, a silvery mercury that oozes down the meandering conduits of my consciousness. It drifts at its own pace, but as I play, it accelerates, spreading thinly along the walls of the abstract passage. As the night races by, I wish I had a larger supply. And in a moment, I find myself listening to the reflective echo of the last chiming note. My face is washed clean, my hands are relaxed and calm, and my brain finally is satisfied. My work is done. I stand up and turn on the lights. Spoiler I drew it as soon as I read it and totally forgot about it until I saw @Telraos commission they did for Silho! I went back though my phone and found some progress pics I took while I was drawing it (along with this picture I posted, I suppose that it would have been a 'progress pic' too if I'd ever finished it) . Then I hunted for the actual sketchbook! progress pics: Spoiler Should I finish it? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
