iM NEW TO THE STEVEN UNIVERSE FANDOM... ANY TIPS?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tips on what exactly? I'd be happy to help, but your question is sort of broad

catching up on tthings, making ocs, drawing etc.

Well, to catch up/just watch the series, I watch it on animeflavor, which is usually updated the day a new episode comes out. I usually miss it when it's on the actual tv, so it's a very useful resource to have. For more fandom oriented things, I'd suggest joining tumblr and frequenting the SU tags or joining a forum board. I know reddit has a Steven Universe board!
For the OC's, if it's a human character, just design a human! What ethnicity are they? What body type? How tall are they? What color eyes do they have? What sort of personality do they have? Draw them expressing that! If you're trying to make a gem, there are 2 ways that I would suggest going about it. The first would be to draw the character and depending on it's appearance or personality, choose a gem that best fits that. The other way is to go completely opposite of that and choose a gem first and base a character off of it, but I feel as though that sort of waters down the process and makes it less fun.
I always find it best to try not to go overboard, because too many accessories/additions can make it look like either way too much, or in some cases a mary sue/gary stu. But if you don't care about that, go wild! It's your character, have fun with it! And don't be afraid to make changes. I have my own Steven Universe OC, and she's gone through so many design changes that it's sort of ridiculous, but each time she's redesigned, she looks so much better. So don't be afraid to change some things if you want to!
For drawing, practice, practice, practice!!! I'm sure you've heard this one a billion times, but it's true. If they're not good at first, just try to inspire yourself. Look at art you really like and say to yourself "I want my art to be that good." And then you try again and again and again! There's always room for improvement, as even the best artists are always getting better. And as a side note, I wouldn't suggest tracing pictures to get the hang of it like a lot of new, aspiring artists do. Sure, you'll get good at drawing that one picture, but it won't actually help you in drawing something else. I'd suggest just looking around. What do people look like? And before you go "I know what people look like, Via, are you stupid or something", really actually look at them. How long do the arms look in proportion to the torso? What shape does that person's face have? Everyone has a different face shape after all. How long are their fingers? How does it compare with that person's over there? And then you have to decide, what is my character going to look like in comparison to that? And that doesn't even have to just be helpful with realistic drawing. I never draw realistically, but using that method helps my art oodles.
To draw more with the style of the show, I'd suggest just watching the show, but not watching it, instead look at the art. How does the animator draw that character's legs? What about that one's arms? What sort of face shapes do they use? What about body types? Steven Universe has a broad array of body types, so trying to draw these characters with all their different body sizes is very good practice. Also, having an OC with a body type that you don't usually draw is also fantastic practice!
Phew, that was a lot of text. Did that help at all?

I'm going to art school first of all! I'm going to study sequential art next year at the Savannah College of Art and Design, which is in my home state, so I won't be far from home. I also have a boyfriend now (the Conner thing is a long story, but he basically got addicted to drugs and went to jail like a month after I broke up with him last summer). My boyfriend's name is Josh and he's a senior this year, and he's trying to study some sort of complicated chemistry in college.
Also, I won first place in the national rocketry competition, so my team and I got a trip to London, which was all paid for, and we competed in a competition there.
ALSO i've been playing a lot of league of legends, and I've already gone thru my first job and quit (it was a waitress-ing job and it totally sucked).
ANYWAY i've been making a lot of art!! *_* i'm gonna try to make it big!
