I am busy; can I consider my activity to be my norm, rather than such a decline to be abnormal? I've got summer assignments and non-pixel art to work on. I find myself uninspired, otherwise, to do pixel art. If only I can draw hands and poses and perspective, maybe I'll try some new stuff out. I don't suppose anyone can give me tips on those?
But commissions are open, as always! I won't give those up when it's a chance to try out pixel art.

Visitor FAQ (last updated 2022-10-12)
Hi all! I thought I'd leave a permapost on my profile in response to common comments and questions I get. Is this account still active? Barely! Nowadays, I only use this account to post the art I make for the Create-a-Pokemon Project, which comes pretty rarely. I'm pretty active elsewhere on the internet, though. Do you take commission/requests/art trades? Short answer: No. Long answer: I have many responsibilities and not a lot of spare time, so commissions/requests/art trades are restricted to personal friends and depend on my availability. Would you be interested in working on my game? Sorry, I'm taken! Good luck finding a spriter for your project, though. ^^ Can I use your sprites in my fan game? It depends! Follow this guide for details: What kind of sprite is it? Official Pokemon design -> You may use my sprites, so long as: Your fan game is not monetized, and You credit the username "Quanyails". Create-a-Pokemon design -> You may use these sprites so long as you

My Photoshop Setup + Tips/Tricks
This is a collection of settings, tips, and tricks I've been using to make my experience drawing in Photoshop more to my liking. I jumped from MS Paint to Adobe Photoshop, so a lot of this advice is probably specific to people making that migration. I'm sure these tips aren't helpful for everyone, but I hope it's helpful for some people! Photoshop settings: moved here General art advice Create 3D models, as that can give you an innate sense of perspective and lighting. Mirror-flip your image horizontally every so often to get fresh perspective on your image. Mirror-flip your image vertically when shading to understand where your values should go. Understand lighting (useful tutorial). Work efficiently. Putting a lot of effort into something is important, but you make more progress practicing as much as you can than spending all of your time making one drawing perfect. (I always come back to this video by @nebezial as an example of how to use tricks to draw faster.) General
The status of gallery submissions (and more):
Hi, watchers and other visitors to this page!
Real life has been quite a ride recently. :) I've recently finished up college, fallen in love, and have work. That means that my priorities have changed. In particular, I don't have the incentive to work on art besides that I'm personally interested in, so my gallery will be a lot less interesting to most. If you're watching me or planning to watch me because I make Pokemon sprites or doing cheap sprite commissions, well, I don't see myself working on more of those in the near future.
I might as well use this journal to redirect people who did come to my page, then. If you are or you know an ar

It's always good to try something new. If you wanna try your hand at perspective, hands, and poses look up some tutorials on how to do those.
The best way to learn about these aspects of art is to just do what you gotta do no matter what. Doodle some pictures of hands over and over, don't even think about cleanliness.
Draw hands and people like there's no tomorrow and you got all the time in the world to do so.
Good luck!
