HOW DO YOU DRAW SO FAST OMGGGG
I worked really hard on it tbh haha. A few years back I went through a long period of intense perfectionism where I slowed down to a crawl (like five comic pages in 4 months). I finally decided that that wasn't working for me, and so I started implementing my motto: shitty is better than incomplete!
Basically it's about the idea that it's more important to me to get the ideas and stories out there than it is for them to be perfect. I have a lot of stories I want to tell, and there's only so much time for me to tell them. It helps to remind myself of this as much as possible!
As for technical tricks, I do a few things that really help:
Draw a lot! Practice is truly one of the number one ways to improve speed, as annoying as it is to accept
I don't zoom in too far
I only use 1 brush at 1-2 sizes for inking (outside of specialized stuff like stippling)
I put hard limits on a lot of stuff--how much shading I do (if any), or what shape my comic panels are (only squares, no diagonals or weird shapes), for example
My characters (comic characters especially) all have pretty simple designs and outfits
I write down every idea for an illustration that I have, even if I'm not ready to tackle it yet. That way when I have a chance to sit down, I've got a whole list ready to go and I'm not waffling around in the concept stage
Finally, I've learned to accept my imperfections as a neat part of my art! It's not easy, and I slip back into bad habits sometimes, but I try my best to see every misplaced mark or color that bleeds outside the line as proof that a human hand made this. I don't spend a lot of time correcting mistakes or painstakingly trying not to make them.
Here's an example from Hello Sunshine, where if looks fine from far away, but if you zoom in a bunch, you can see all kinds of little "mistakes." gaps in the ink and color, the line of Alex's ear doesn't match up, very sketchy linework where their faces meet, haha.
But then when you zoom out even a little bit, you a) don't notice those things nearly as much, and b) I think it gives it a kind of traditional charm. Just because you CAN use ctrl-z doesn't mean you HAVE to.
Anyway I hope that helps!!
АААААААААААА. I hate myself

“coolest, baddest, kick-butt-iest witch of all time …”
let’s talk about this a second. Who does it sound like Eda is describing? Look let’s be honest it totally sounds like something she would’ve said about herself in season one. Remember how cocky and sassy she was?
Not that we didn’t freaking love this, of course. Eda’s confidence is unparalleled 😭
but something about her is different now. She’s no longer hidden away with only herself for company… she’s growing. She’s relearning to love the people around her - to let herself do that. Remember when she said King was her roommate? She didn’t want to assume, wanted to keep a distance to keep the both of them safe - even though they loved each other so much. Now look! She’s adopted him, and Luz! Luz coming into her life helped her relearn the compassion and unconditional love of her childhood, to accept that she could love without hurting anybody. Look at her face now, at the emotion we didn’t get to see for so long.
It obviously hurts. To love and let people love her. But look at her relationship with her sister! They’ve come so far - all Eda had to do was accept that she could take some help. She forgave and forgot so soon, because she honestly just loves her sister so much.
and Raine. Raine Whispers. How long did Eda tell herself to stop loving you, stop hurting the both of you with her love? How quickly she dropped this at seeing your face again, how quickly she admits that you’re so much cooler than she ever could be.
Luz is the reason. She and King are helping show their Owl Mom how to love again. That’s all. Send post.
some expression practice. idk why gman was the subject but we’re here

I just want so badly to be able to See a production where Eurydice sings “everybody sipping ambrosia wine in a gold mine in hadestown” and orpheus looks her right in the eye without missing a chord on his guitar and says “everybody hungry everybody tired everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow the wage is nothing and the work is hard it’s a graveyard in hadestown.” And then they sing the chorus together!
HE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT HER. 🥺

“Young Master.”
“Barbatos…”
“Care to tell me what might be troubling you? I can already guess what this is regarding, but even so.”
“I want to go check on Lucifer. To see how his condition is progressing, and if he’s all right…”
“Well then, why don’t you?”
“Because I don’t have the right…”
“Interesting. I wasn’t aware that you needed a right to go visit a friend who’s ill.”
“Ughhh, if only I’d told Lucifer everything sooner!”
“Indeed, yes…”
“I mean, I never imagined that Lucifer would end up losing his memory…!”
“It was most shocking, yes.”
“It’s all my fault… I made things even worse than they already were…”
“Yes, very true.”
“You know, you’re being awfully cold, Barbatos. Couldn’t you at least try to be on my side somewhat?”
“Once Lucifer regains his memory, perhaps you should tell him what you just told me?”
