How do I add shadow to this drawing?

oooohhhkay so I have been really busy this week with school (I’m a professional slacker what do you mean I have 8 different missing assignments) and my little sister’s birthday today, so these are kinda all low quality but unfortunately I really haven’t had the time nor energy to do anything better. Ask me about the details though I did put a lot of thought into those!

Hello there! (intro post)

I'm The Secret Beetle. You can call me Beetle. My pronouns are They/Them, It/Its. I am Non-Binary. I am also Neurodivergent (Autism and possible ADHD).

This blog is mostly for fandom-related stuff and some other random things I like/find amusing. I'll repost memes and cool fanarts I find. Memes and other posts could contain swearing and other 18+ topics, but there will be no lewds here. I might also occasionally repost things that resonate with my personal values and viewpoints.

I'm a writer working on the first draft of my first (hopefully) novel. I have a separate blog more dedicated to writing. I also play piano and compose music as a side hobby. Most of my art is traditional, and I probably won't post it often, as I have convinced myself from a young age that I suck at it.

I was also the editor of the Mob Psycho 100 fanfic "Broken and Healed" on Ao3.

When I'm not doing any of that stuff (or battling executive dysfunction), I'm probably gaming, reading, listening to music, or watching cartoons and anime.

My favorite game genres are; Platforming, puzzle, horror, and occasionally RPGs. I mostly play indie games, but I've been getting into more triple-A game franchises slowly, but surely.

As for specific fandoms, trust me - you'll know. I will mark posts with spoiler warnings as I see fit.

Basic DNI; no racists, sexists, ableists, homophobes, transphobes, pedophiles, proshippers, etc.

I'm not comfortable with DMs unless I know you personally. But asks are fine.

I believe that's about it. Don't really have any other socials - people scare me.

Remember to be kind to each other! :) - Beetle

Spent a couple days on this and screwed up the shading a tiny bit. Still, I'm actually pleased with myself. I should have added a signature... eh, nobody's going to steal this. based the hair off my partner :)

CHICAGO · WORK TRIP · SUMMER ‘24

Clothing is an art. What do you like to wear?

American style. Travel is good for the heart, but hurts my wallet.

I made a little editorial for the guy I’m dating. I graduate from university in two semesters. I might teach English in China to get 我的水平 up to par. Can’t work at the neighborhood pizza place forever.

中文: he began having an interest in furniture during high school. Since then, his name is now well known. He enjoys using various styles.

français: “it’s an art, really” he assures me on the subject of making furniture. he recounts these things with such passion and pride, it’s hard for me not to blush.

here the chinese words for life and opportunity accompany a quote i heard on one of those detective shows like ncis la and i liked it.

photo is southern indiana.

merci xx

flighty and petit. will know how to make good conversation, unless you have chiron in3rd or virgo moon like i do. passionate, and a sharp tongue. insult is an art. forgetful. indecisive. curious.

mars 11h w merc + venus. square moon. opposite pluto. guess that means i’m intense. woof.

I STILL MISS HIM

but at least these pictures made him text me back

怕 · 奇怪的感受 · 爱

absence + reflection

将来很大 · 机会也是很多生活总是有问题｡

中文艺术我做了

第一个是精神疾病。常常是我的生活负担。每个人的生活有问题。我是一样。

第二个是期限。大学，上班，都很忙。总是有期限。没有够的轻松，安全时间。紧张。

[au début d’éditer, j’ai presque utilisé l’anglais « win at any cost » mais à la fin j’ai pensé que le français a un air plus intéressant. ]

第三个是错觉。经常我觉得别的人错觉我。想想错的东西。哎呀

第四个是。。。我不知道。可能还没有完了哈哈

Hello everyone here is some artwork i made in chinese. enjoy responsibly

first one is ‘mental illness’

second is deadline - stress of being in school and working at the same time. win at any cost.

third is misperception • partly influenced by my late friend brad who had schizophrenia bipolar. but often i feel others misperceive me in a social context. like who i am, what kind of person i am.

fourth — just a fun lil edit

c’est tout pour maintenant. merci !

I don't know what this is or why I drew it. But here it is.

Hello guys, I drew Maedhros hanging around in Thangorodrim.

TW: Slight blood

I'm also thinking about making a side blog just for my art.
