reblog if you think animation, photography, theatre, music, image editing, video editing, and creative writing are all forms of art

the amount of people that think these aren’t art forms angers me

I'm honestly crying because I just now realized my anatomy is such shit and I don't know how to keep it cartoony but accurate at the same time… Any tips?

everyone should start w a basic grasp of anatomy before delving into stylized cartoony stuff, but its actually not nearly as hard as it looks/sounds. figure drawing from reference pictures is a lot easier than making up cartoonish styles in ur head, because the learning curve is so sharp.

just start drawing people you see- watch youtube videos that show candid crowds, pause it for a bit and give yourself like 1-5 minutes to quickly draw the pose and figure, and then let it go and move on to the next pose. make em vary in size from whole page to half page to ¼ page, knock out like 10 in one session, and after a few sessions i guarantee youll notice a difference. focus first on the angle & twist of the torso, and then on the pose of the arms & legs, and THEN on fleshing it out/lightly shading. its really easy to pick up, and once youre comfortable with it, you can try simplifying your linework a ton and exaggerating shit to get cartoon-y looks you enjoy that actually look 1000x better because the human eye/brain can make way more sense of them.

To those of abusive childhoods:

No, you are not manipulative, selfish, cold, uncaring.  You are not hateful pathetic, self-pitying.

You’ve been taught to think of yourself as a far worse person than you are.

You’ve been taught to deprive yourself of good things.

ppl will defend this nihilistic and depressive world view to the ends of the earth but some of yall need to check yourself before all this negativity worsens your clinical depression. there’s too much hopelessness on the internet and all of those messages are really toxic. especially fixating on things that you cannot change in the immediate moment. take a break… sniff a flower… tell your friend she looks beautiful… not everything is about the end of the world or how hopeless our survival is as a species.

honestly you know why people centuries ago were so extra in the way they spoke and so dramatic it’s because they were listening to classical music. go turn on some johann sebastian bach and tell me you don’t suddenly feel like composing a hand written love letter to your dearest annabelle and using the word melancholy

heres some random updates so you can get a grasp on whats happening here in the philippines:

professors are urging their students to let them know if theyre not gonna come to class so theyll know that theyre still alive

parents are telling their kids not to come home late, or if they will, to take an uber even though its priced like 5x more

people are sharing constitutional rights on twitter, to teach everyone what to say to the popos just in case

nobody trusts the police anymore

police have a QUOTA of “drug addicts” they need to kill

almost 13k dead without due process, but chines drug lords and presidents son who were involved in a drug smuggling worth 6 billion are still walking free

all it takes is a facebook rumor to put you on the hit list

politicians who are criticizing the administration are being impeached

politicians who love the administration admit that their duty is to the president, NOT to the people

theres been talks in extending the presidents term

It literally feels like an unofficial dictatorship

please help us

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed
