JK Rowling is being terf-y and awful on Twitter again, so I just want to remind everyone of a few things:

1. Death of the Author is a beautiful, beautiful thing. You can still love the world she created (I do), and can still draw hope and inspiration from it (I do), while acknowledging that she is acting terribly. 

2. Trans rights are human rights. Trans HP friends: you matter, you are worthy, you are loved, you are wanted. I am your mom now. I am the Lord of Hogwarts now. Everyone gets free matching pajamas. Slumber party in the Great Hall, happy Pride month, I love you.

art tips post

for all the artists following me

draw fast. it’ll look messy for a long time but you’ll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing

if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know it’s scary but it’ll help in the long run (i’m speaking from experience)

try different methods and mediums but don’t worry about mastering any of them, just have fun

if you’re not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and i’d rather spend $4 on one than $15)

there’s no wrong way to learn. you can copy other people’s art if you want to, just don’t post it

DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want

if you want to make original characters then do it. don’t worry about if they’re original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. it’s fun and it’s not hurting anyone

try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while

make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspiration 

draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously that’s the best way to get better at drawing hands)

in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram

draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing

don’t expect to get any notes at first. don’t let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma

take breaks, but don’t give up.

brain: you’re hungry you simple bitch

- that time the Library of Alexandria got burned down

- the book waiting list in our local library

Sketchbox July - Emberra in Pastels

So I just got the July Premium Sketchbox, it came with pan pastels, pastel pencils and some tools for the pastels and a nice set of erasers.

Turned out pretty good I think, since I haven’t really used pastels since high school.

If you want to support me lease consider buying me a coffee, Ko-fi.
