Hi woa i drew hinari too cause they are like one of my favorite designs youve made😭😭
Also sorry 4 posting this twice i needed to fix something on the image 
How do you do your lineart? I know lineart takes a ton of practice but do you have any advice on how to make my lines more more interesting??? There kinda like 1 size the whole way though. Everytime I try to add thick lines it looks messy hfkjghfkjhfg
hello tere! I love your art, and while im working on mine, my main question is: how do you shade? more specifically, parts of fur and hair? It means alot to me to say that you have been the one to inspire me on creating art, so i thank you for that! >w<
sdjk thank youu!! i'm so glad to hear that c:
I have very inconsistent shading WAJHWS it really depends on the style of drawing
but in the most basic form, I usually use 3 tones, dark, mid, and light shades
I use mid tones for the base color of the shading, add depth/details with dark tones, usually around the edges, and add some lights in like the inner parts of the shading, if that makes sense sjkd
i'm not too good at explaining but I hope that helps xD
umm it's kind of a long process xD but in the most basic form
I draw the silhouette of the tree with flat colors first
as for the trunk, I use a soft darker tone to paint the base of the details
and then refine the details with even a darker tone to add more depth to the initial details, and later add some highlights with a lighter tone
as for the leaves, it's pretty much the same process
use a soft dark tone for the base of the details, and refine with a darker tone and add highlights
I tend to draw each leaf one by one manually
this is kind of an old example but still works uvu-b
hi tere ok I just wanna say
holy fcdgdgsg dude you are literally amazing at what you do, ily 😭 you are literally like my idol you’re so talented and dude, your ARTT bro its so BEAUTIFUL and its just rlly nice to look at 😭 you have such an original art style and your character design is amazing & im just gonna take a moment to say omfgfsg the way you do backgrounds its SO PRETTY DUDEFGDHF i love how detailed your art is 🤧🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 and bro i love your animation ITS GREAT 😭 you are the person who inspired me to start drawing and animating and i love u sm you’re literally awesome, i am thankful that we have you in this world cause your great🤛🏾

Thanks!! I really like using tabs, I have them for my characters, so I thought I'd add some for my profile too xD
Tabs are just the best form of navigation for a website, I totally understand that ! XD
(I just need to understand how to properly code those here :,))
aa I see, actually these tutorials helped me a lot to understand them
maybe you'll find these useful! ^_^

I don't know if I am allowed to ask about your coding for your character profiles. But I am only interested in the videos tab because I have ocs who have videos that I would like to add to their toyhouse and being able to easily click. Is there anything similar to your code that I could maybe use ? or just your code for it ?
I've frankenstein-ed my character profile with different codes! but I don't think I'm allowed to redistribute the edited version though :(
but if you're specifically referring to the video player, it's pretty much just a video embed
you can right click on a video and copy the embed code, and then add it to your character profile!
and use the following code to center the video player:
<div style="text-align:center;">
<div style="display: inline-block;">
wow ur one of my favorite artists/animators :0 didn’t know u had a toyhouse account lol
also ur arts really cool sdfghjkl;

Hey! I wanted to know what is your character design process? how do you know if there's enough colours or details and how do you choose colours for the lighting and shading, like in the Everything black AMV. sorry for so many questions. thx Tere
umM well I don't consider my process nothing special :0
I pretty much draw the base character, and then add the details as I go
I would explain further but I simply don't know skldjsc it's just like a natural thing
the shading process I used in the animation was the following: some frames had like 2 layers of shading, then 1 layer of color correction, 1 soft contrast/lighting layer, 1 layer to change the lineart color and 1 layer of lighting, like on this example
here's me shading 1 frame lul https://youtu.be/PeWGa863eZc

Question what size of canvas do you use normally?
&
What do you use to animate & draw with?
I use around 1290 x 720 or 1920 x 1080!
and I use Paint Tool SAI 2.0 for drawing and animating (and Vegas Pro 17 to edit the frames together)
but I also use FlipaClip to make animations sometimes :3
I am surprised you don't use bigger canvases then again that just proves how good you are! XD Thanks for sharing! It's interesting you use flipclip & sai to animate though.

I'm a bit more hesitant about it, maybe its just too close to my ref sheet format and I don't want people to get confused? It's just a small thing that's become quite a bit of a signature of mine
kinda trying to offer something different and notable that'd help to identify my type of sheet
I'm not saying you can't do it though, something similar as longs as it isn't the same is okay!
BLOCK_1
Heyhey!, sort’veee specific question but,
Do you have a certain process for drawing things like wood? On like a building, it is honestly one of the hardest things for me to get looking good and im making something for my friend, so I want it to look real nice, ya'know? ;0;
oh I did actually made some sort of tutorial a while ago!
the process is simple, it's pretty much just drawing lines for the main details, what you need to focus about is color and depth
here is a small example on how I draw wood
this can apply to any kind of wooden structure, so I hope it helps! ^_^

oh if you meant the CSS, it's actually a P2U code! here it is in case you wanna check it out https://toyhou.se/2964689.-p2u-peek
but if you meant the HTML itself, I did code it myself, but I don't have a clean version of it ;o;
Hey!! I probably should've asked you before but after reading your rules again I was wondering if people could take inspiration from how you layout your reference sheets? Not the characters in them, just the reference sheets themselves? Because they're really well laid out :0! It might sound unreasonable but I wanted to make sure?

Hey! love your art and animations. I was wondering, what is the CSS code you use? i'm interested in using the same one for my account.

Hello Tere!!! :D
I really like your work and wanted to ask, have you ever encountered fear when starting to draw? I always liked to draw cats and there is a desire, and after I started going to art school, I began to be afraid to make even sketches, it feels as if at a subconscious level the teacher stands and looks at how I draw a sketch and wants to throw out everything that is not drawn in realism. 😔
Hey ^^ Yes I've experienced that when I was starting! But I've never assisted to an art school whatsoever
I imagine art schools are prepared for a wide general public, that's why they're structured in a way to help people who want to get in the art industry professionally
Realism is the basis of this structure, as it's the best way to learn how things work
If you wanna draw cats, go for it!! Remember you draw for yourself
I don't know what direction you want to take in your art career, maybe art school isn't what you're looking for?
As a self-taught artist, I've found it more exciting to experiment and learn by myself, and if I ever wanted to improve myself in something specific, I can count on plenty of free resources on the internet
However, do not be influenced by a comment from a random person like me xD do what you think is best for you!
I hope you keep on going with what you like!
Thank you very much, I have ideas, I have everything I need. After reading your message, I realized my problem, because I am used to the fact that I succeed in the field of drawing landscapes, so when I look at the fact that my understanding in drawing cats is gradually lost, I begin to evaluate myself too much. I will try to evaluate myself less at this stage, and just return to the state where I liked to just draw as much as I can and not be ashamed of my work.
Thank you very much for your motivation ❤️

Hello! I actually LOVE your art so much 💖💖 and I just have to ask, "what art app do you use to draw?"
O do you mean like a physical gift or a digital gift like a drawing or a game?
idk, It depends on what the gift is XD
Digital drawings! Aha, should've been specific cause I adore your talent so much, been such a huge inspiration for me and just AAAA, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A TOYHOUSE!! So, I just wanted to double check with you bout gifts and such!!
Also, sorry if I'm all over the place, just great to see you reply and everything! :']
HELLO TERН XD WHAT I WANT TO SAY ,,,, oh, I like your work and how do you detail them ?? I will say this, many say so, Uhhh,,,, but it's still true! your work is very impressive, you look at them and such, wow, a person has so much imagination to translate it into reality, WOW, oh and by the way !!!! all good participation in the ,, competition?
hi tere! i just want to say i really love your style and characters, it encouraged me to pursue digital art! when are you opening up comms again, your chibis are irresistable-
i drew zekki, but i guess no one looks at da anymore Gift - Zekki by neepyelpy3 on DeviantArt
also, can i have the link to your discord?
sorry for late reply! I didn't see your comment with so many notifications ^^;
that means a lot, thank you so much!!
and thanks for drawing Zekki!! :o aaa it looks really cute!
oh if you mean my discord server is currently not accepting new members, it's been under construction for a while, we still don't know when it'll be open to the public again :s
Hello !
I'm trying to work on backgrounds, and saw your work (beautiful art and animations btw!), I'm curious, what's your shading process for such detailled backgrounds ? ^^
Hii sorry for late reply! :'3
thanks for the compliment! usually my shading process is involved with the detailing process
I pick a darker tone to add depth and contrast to the objects, which also works as shading
and then with a lighter tone to add subtle highlights and reflections
here is a little explanation with some examples I did a while ago if it helps! https://toyhou.se/~comments/10469158
Hey terenry any plans for december adopts maybe? I really want a design by you for christmas ;0;!
HEY TERENRY LOOK AT THIS! a New art that is baiscally old DA?? buzzly.art / https://www.deviantart.com/buzzly-art
worth checking out : ooo
I think its better than sheezy.art / deviantart.com / + sheezy is closed for registerations. While buzzly is open. Buzzly is trying to be old DA quite literally with the profile pages (Good profile page example). In my opinion has bigger plans for the site. I think for comparisons sake: Buzzly is old DA but way better, if you see the profile pages. Sheezy is inspired bY DA but still very different. dfhkfahdskfjadskjf Worth checking both but honestly. I thinK Buzzly´s page layout is far more appealing. They are adding a number of features more so than SA. Like adding groups like DA had but better. XD Among many other plans and features you can check them out on DA / Their discord sever.
The site is in beta and wont be white themed forever, their adding a site theme, dark mode later. (early 2022), and their adding a theme where you can change the site to any color lmao. WORTH CHECKING OUT!!
Hello I really bad at English but how do you draw and shade on temples? I see a lot of details on them but how hard I try I still can’t recreate a temple i really want to know xD
hmm it depends, usually my process is the following:
First you start by getting to know the basic shape of it and the main structure, then add the details and decorations
Like on this example:
As for the coloring/shading process,
- Once I have the sketch finished, then I draw the flat-colored/lineless background, everything on different layers
- After that, I start detailing each area, usually I start adding the shadows and detail the textures with them, and lastly add some highlights details
- And finally when I finish detailing, I add extra lighting/shadows and a lot of overlay effects xD
here's the procces of this drawing as an example:
I hope this can be helpful to give you a basic idea!
You can also watch the speedpaint here if you're interested in seeing the full process ^_^ https://youtu.be/dqWb9FYGkGQ

I was just about to see your commission price when suddenly TH informed that your username does not exist, I was shocked that you just blocked me (‘◉⌓◉’)
Hi! Sorry for bothering you tere, but I just want to ask how did you shade your characters so good?! It’s kind of like cel shading but it’s not actually like cel shading???? Teach me how sensei >:0
uhhmm depends, I do have different shading styles! which drawing are you referring to specifically? :o
I really like the style you use to draw the half-face pictures…? With a cloudy background and a quote of the character? I see that you use diamond shapes to shade the face furs, and it looks very nice to me 👀 how did you do that?
Also, how do you draw and shade temples? I see a lot of details in them but how hard I try I still can’t recreate a temple as detailed as yours >< 💦
Oh my, is your profile comment section turning into a Q&A? xD
I see! my shading style is very sharp/geometrical by itself, it just comes naturally,, xD I usually use the eraser to get that sharper look, I erase the edges with linear strokes
as for the shading I use multiply effect for the layer mode, and clip a layer above to add the lighter/darker tones
for my buildings process, I first draw the basic shape, and then just fill it out with details, here's this quick example:
I recommend starting with something simple, and once you have a solid base you can move on to more complex concepts, it just takes a lot of practice! :3
i have 2 questions. What app do u use 2 draw and i havent found ur ref of terenry and i was hoping to fanart is that ok?
I use Paint Tool SAI 2.0 to draw! fanart is very appreciated it! feel free to draw my characters if you'd like ^^
you can find my main sona reference here https://toyhou.se/7347168.tere#23819073

Hi,I came to ask if you could change the credits with my TH username on this art: https://toyhou.se/2446999.aisu/gallery#26721319
ajadsjjdadjjhadj dumb question
1. can I make a design that is a little inspired by your designs? or do I need to credit you to do this?
2. can I get pinged when your commissions are open? if you don't do pings ok then (or maybe you already talked about this and I didn't read dsmajdjdajk)
Hello! I’m here to say that you’ve been a big inspiration to me for a while, and I absolutely love your art and animations! I hope you’re doing well! ^^
BLOCK_1
oh MAN I've loved your work for YEARS [yells] I hope ur doing well! Absolutely everything you do is incredible keep it up >:DD
i literally adore everything (and i mean everything) about your style /gen
like your designs and color palettes and art and animations....all of it is so ,,, WOW
youre a really, REALLY big inspiration for me aa-
hey tere! i just wanted to thank you for being an immensely huge inspiration for me! you helped me to find out my style and to improve my art in general <3
aaanndd not to mention but,, do you have tips on drawing scenes? i'm really bad at it and i'm trying to improve it somehow haha-
That's so awesome!! thank you so much, it means a lot that my art has been of inspiration!
I think I'm not the best when it comes to giving tips haha ;w,
If you're struggling with drawing scenes, I'd suggest focusing on what you're good at, or what kind of scenes you'd like to draw the most, eg. nature, urban environments, indoors.. etc
start with something small and with simple colors / more natural colors
once you have something basic to work with, you can move on to more complex concepts
I am not experienced in realistic kind of art, but I know realism is the best way to portray colors in the best way, learn about shadows and light, and that kinda stuff!
you might try taking a look at references that are great to use in some circumstances, or just let your creativity flow and experiment with it!
In the most basic form, the way I like to do scenes is to imagine them in my head, the first thing I do is to visualize my ideas of where the different parts will go before I start drawing, just remember that you're drawing to stimulate your imagination, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Think of your own artwork and draw whatever you like
Everything it's just matter of practice!
I'm sure there are plenty of better tips and tutorials out there that are better at explaining than me XD but I hope I was somewhat helpful!
BLOCK_1
aaa thank you so much!! it means a lot, really makes me happy to hear that ; w ;
The music player I'm using is this one! https://www.deviantart.com/codingtrash/art/Music-Player-1-616035933 It's a paid code, it's available for 70 points

Hi! hmm that's weird, I tried re-buying the code and the download works fine
could you describe the problem more detailed? is it an issue with the download button or the file itself?
hey!! I just wanted to say that I think that they are stealing your artstyle(or characters?)
Hey there! Honestly your coding is absolutely insane-
if you end up answering, before you so, I know you edited if from a base code from flipping through the comments before asking to make sure i wasn't repeating a question asked before.
and since i couldn't find it... how did you get the fixed images that pop up in a few spots on the main welcome thing? I've been Trying for way to long to get it to work in one of my character's profiles, and I was hoping you could help provide me with the line of code + how you used it- or at least point me in the direction of a tutorial/base code if you used one? even the slightest bit of insight would be perfect. qwq
Ah thank you! :3
If you mean the fixed welcome image, this is the code!
<div class="card-block py-4" style='background:url("IMG LINK") center / cover fixed;'></div>
Here's a guide for background images that could be helpful too ^^

Hello, sorry in advance for the bad English ;; I just wanted to say that your art is beautiful. You've really inspired me to try landscape type art. I was never motivated to do so because I'm terrible at it, but your art is so astounding and it gave me hope. Your backgrounds, colouring, art style, and shading are so nice to look at. I hope to one day get a commission from you once they open up again !! Have a nice day !
Ahh thanks for the kind words!
Happy to hear that my art was inspiring to you and has helped to give you some motivation to get better at landscape art! it really means a lot
I've always thought that landscape art is really tough and a challenge, but with enough practice it can turn out to be an exciting and creative process, that's why I enjoy drawing them
Thanks again! ^_^

Hello! I just wanted to tell you that I love your designs! They never fail to inspire me to design more, and always are so pleasing to look at! It's a really unique design style, and never fails to surprise me! Your art is really unique too, it's always really stunning, and the amount of detail in your art makes it 10x better. Keep it up! ^^

Hey thank you!! <3
I don't mind if people get inspired on my art as long as it isn't heavily, or entirely replicated! But you can totally be inspired and have a little reference to help you out ^_^
I think you're talking mostly about scenes, but just in case I want to mention not to reference any of my characters if you'd include them inside "my art" ;v;
Hii i just wanted to ask what code you used for Tere and Kumi’s responsive art thingy? ;w; I’ve been wondering for a while now :’D

Hi there, while browsing through your art and I came across some really gorgeous traditional-art scenes! I was wondering, what materials do you use to create them? It looked like either paint or oil pastel, but I wasn't sure-- whatever it is, it looks amazing!!
Thank you!! Most of my traditional art was drawn with Derwent pastel pencils!
I upload the progress of these drawings on my instagram ^^ https://www.instagram.com/terenry/
Hiya! Just wanted to say your detailed backgrounds, especially the japanese-influenced ones, are amazing! One question, do you use references for them? Because i'm practicing backgrounds and I'm not sure how I should go along with it-
Thank you so much!
I don't use references for my art, I do look at random pics to get an idea, but not directly reference them
I like to create and design my own original buildings and backgrounds!! It really only takes a lot of practice haha
Backgrounds has always been my favorite part when drawing, so I just enjoy making them a lot! :D
If you're struggling with drawing backgrounds, I'd suggest focusing on what you're good at, or what kind of backgrounds you'd like to draw the most, eg. nature, urban environments, indoors.. etc
you might try taking a look at references that are great to use in some circumstances, or just let your creativity flow and experiment with it!
