making art with highlighters :3
Added 2025-06-25 20:38:43 +0000 UTCI've had this set of highlighters for awhile and never thought to make art with them. turns out it's somewhat of a nightmare to capture (fluorescent colors don't scan and finding good lighting for photos is tricky). xD I had a lot of fun tho and really enjoyed getting to work in this strange medium. I've also been trying out simpler styles and learning how to stylize things so they're still legible with less visual info. it's funny, you'd think that drawing things that look "simple" would be easier, but I've found that there's a lot of hiding that goes on with a ton of detail. stripping things back is teaching me to focus on what's necessary and let go of the rest.

ikr it's actually quite challenging! I think because there are fewer elements involved, each one ends up carrying more weight, so every decision has to be more considered. it's hard, but it's fun! feels like solving a puzzle

2025-06-25 21:38:41 +0000 UTC100% on your thoughts wrt simpler art! i've been trying to do that too with my stuff and man. it is hard to drop complexity by default intentionally and have it look good. i feel like the less that you have, the MORE you have to know what you're doing (or want to do), actually lol
