No one owes artists anything.

But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

its kind of really awesome to be a huge fan of ur friends art because then they become famous to you. its not exactly the same as making friends with an artist u already look up to its like if michaelangelo was relatively unknown and posted his art to 1 discord server and his tumblr blog. and you just have to sit there like i need people to understand how cool you are. why aren't you being asked for autographs yet

My MEGA ART REFERENCE post

I mostly use my tumblr as a library of references, inspirations, and others that help me with my work. I figured others might want to use it that way too? Here are my tags on my tumblr where you can find them.

Inspiration - This is the biggest one and it’s filled with mostly things that inspire me. Maybe some of it will inspire you too.

Reference - It’s filled with tutorials, references, rooms, poses, and objects I need references from. The 2nd biggest. It’s a catch all.

Then there’s the tags that pinpoint a thing I need:

Poses - Take poses from real life, other works, sports, selfies, or fashion blogs. It will help your people look more interesting than just standing around.

Men - I have trouble drawing them so they get their own tag.

Color - tutorials on how to color your work, as well as color themes, color palettes and work who’s choices or use of color are amazing.

Lighting - How to and inspiration on using lighting in your illustrations, rooms, etc.

Fashion - Get inspired by clothing and mix and match outfits for your people. 3rd biggest tag on my tumblr. Although, a lot of it is my style you might get some inspiration from them.

Rooms - If you need to draw a room to place your characters in, here you go. Reference a room! It also has tutorials to draw rooms or things in a room. Also, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, libraries, fictional rooms, vintage rooms, themed rooms, closets, kids rooms, adult rooms, hotel rooms, minimalist and maximalist rooms, etc.

Hands - Hands are hard. This will help.

Feet - Feet are hard too.

Body - Lots of tutorials on drawing bodies with some references for different body types. Some are also under bodies.

Hair - Give me lots of hair. Long beautiful hair! As well as black hair, short hair, POC hair, braids, afros, all sorts of hair reference and tutorials on drawing hair!

Expressions - You faces need a mood, so use this. I also made a handy chart for reference here! May also be under Expression.

Inking - Cool inks.

Composition - Mostly cool comics and illustrations as well as composition tutorials.

Perspective - For perspective. I also recommend Amy Reeder’s Perspective in Storytelling on tumblr!

Storyboards - Storyboard help!

Props - A newer one with props to draw.

Important - Not just art stuff but mental health too.

Background / Backgrounds / nature / cities / buildings = all inspiration for backgrounds

Layout - mostly comic page layouts

I hope this helps you on your art journey like does mine!

i think rickrolling is the only meme that gets objectively funnier with age. in 2009 you learned to anticipate it but in 2019 it happens just infreqently enough that i fall for it every single time

After finishing ending 3, I now fully understand why everyone is so (ab)normal about Eugene Coli. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Have some very normal screenshots titles to show how well I took ending 3

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.

arts and crafts are killing me. badly

describing emotions in writing is either “he felt sad” or a two-paragraph dissertation on how his soul crumpled like wet newspaper under the weight of his own existence. no in-between.

if I got carried away by the harpies I would accept my fate because I respect women
