What program do you use to draw?
Hm, it depends on the final result I’m going for: I use Photoshop for general stuff, but I’ll switch over to Paint Tool SAI for fake watercolors!

Hi! I'd really like to share my doodles and stuff on tumblr, but I'm insecure and not sure my art's good enough yet. What should I do?
Well, if it’s any consolation, half the time I don’t feel like my art’s good enough to be posting all over the place, either. Yet here we are : >
So really, you might be super nervous about it, but nothing’s gonna happen if you don’t post anything! There’s always a risk with putting yourself out there, But if you never post your work, nobody’s ever going to see it. So you won’t get any negative reactions (or ambivalence), but you won’t get any positive reactions, either. It’s a bit of a wall to get over at first, I know.
Just remember that you’re constantly improving, as long as you keep at it - sometimes I look at my drawings from even a month or less ago and wonder what I was even thinking. So I say to just go for it!
where do you get those markers??
I’m assuming you mean physical markers, since this ask came around when I posted that Alexandrite drawing, iirc.
I really got them from a bunch of places? Markers can get really expensive, so I’ve collected them over the years. Copics’ll cost you the most; there’s this misconception I see here and there that Copics are completely superior because they have a brush tip and you shouldn’t use Prismacolors because they don’t (though I think they do make a limited selection of Prismacolors that do have a brush tip, now? But that’s besides the point), but I’ve found that they both work perfectly well together! And Prismacolors are cheaper, too. I would shop around for prices before picking anything up, and buy markers (especially Copics) when they’re on sale!
EDIT: As for the actual “where,” most art supply/hobby stores will sell one or the other, if not both. If you have a local art supply store, I’d give them a shot! If not, Michaels sells them, though their prices aren’t the best.

where did you get the fake marker brushes?
Those would be the art marker brushes courtesy of Kyle Webster~ (I linked to his website, but you can get the brushes on Gumroad and Creative Market too, iirc.)
Wow wow wow, thank you soooo much! Not gonna lie, the recent response I’ve gotten has been way more than I expected. You people are all pretty great!
And man, doing one for my favorite episode would mean picking a singular favorite episode…sounds really hard, I dunno~
Love your drawings, do you work or something ?
Thank you! And ha, I wish :,D I’d like to get there at some point though.

What's goin on with ya nowadays?
Not too much, Anon? I have no work and that makes me sad. Trying to figure out a revised commission post.
what's the adventure time au u drew for?
Ah, that was for the Ice King Finn AU that Kuruk and I came up with, more than a year ago now! It’s basically a continuation of the alternate timeline from “Finn the Human” and “Jake the Dog,” only with less “being re-rewritten out of existence” and more “Finn becomes the Ice King and interacts with canon characters from there.” Alternate universes created by diverging timelines and all that.
