So, I had a little fun on Canva creating John Foster's book covers.

It's by no means perfect but I like the look of them :)

Also the last one isn't a book mentioned in The Blue Castle but is inspired by this excerpt :

“Here’s a patch of dandelions,” said Valancy, unsubdued. “Dandelions shouldn’t grow in the woods, though. They haven’t any sense of the fitness of things at all. They are too cheerful and self-satisfied. They haven’t any of the mystery and reserve of the real wood-flowers.”

“In short, they’ve no secrets,” said Barney. “But wait a bit. The woods will have their own way even with those obvious dandelions. In a little while all that obtrusive yellowness and complacency will be gone and we’ll find here misty, phantom-like globes hovering over those long grasses in full harmony with the traditions of the forest.”

Hi, Tracy! Can you please tell me... what that hell is the context of this drawing? Found this on here, Tumblr, and i have been asking myself ever since. Love your work <3

Hehe.. It's from a tutorial I made about drawing clothing wrinkles.

(The tutorial is available to my Patrons. It's also in the Lackadaisy Essentials Book + eBook.)

Is Rocky's tie actually lucky?

Depends on how generous your concept of 'luck' is, I suppose. Then again, Rocky is somehow still alive...

“Do you think Anne was happy when her baby died—when her sons went to the war—when one was killed? … Poor Valancy had 29 years of starved existence and Emily had her bitter years of alienation from Teddy.… You are probably much more cynical at nineteen than you will be at forty. I am sure there are plenty of girls and boys just as good and true as any of those in my books. I have known ever so many. Of course there are plenty of the other kind, too—always have been and always will be and just now they are not repressed as they used to be and we hear and see more of them. But the other sort must have always predominated or the world wouldn’t have gone on at all.”

— Excerpt of a 1933 letter from Lucy Maud Montgomery, replying sharply to a reader ‘that loved her books, but thought her characters were unrealistic— they were too idealistic and too faultless as people.’

sorry if it’s a stupid question!! but how do you go about making your characters personalities? they’re all really compelling and relatable and i was wondering how authors and artists like you are able to create depth to characters and if you’d have any advice for how to make them seem more real!

I don't really have a step-by-step process for this. Mostly I just spend inordinate amounts of time ruminating about them. Here's some things that might be useful, though - - Borrow from real people you know. (But maybe don't tell those people you've done that, because things can get weird...) - Borrow tidbits from historical figures, or other fictional characters who've been of interest to you. Don't copy someone else's ideas directly, of course...but remember it is actually completely natural and necessary to be inspired by multitudes of things if you mean to create something of your own. - Figure out where your character came from, even if you never reveal that information in canon. Create a backstory. So much of a character's specifics will come from their upbringing, the type of environment they were raised in, the types of people they were surrounded by, the value system they were taught to uphold, their early triumphs and traumas. - Play free-association games. Make lists of what words, colors, sounds, smells, places, shapes, flowers, animals, or iconography you associate with the character. Think about objects they might have in their pockets, or what that they might hang on their walls or stuff into a drawer. Meditations like this can lead you to think about the character from different angles. - Make music playlists. Collect songs that sort of remind you of a particular character. Play it on a loop and get lost in those thoughts and feelings. - If a thought strikes you, write it down - make note of it. Then keep writing if thoughts keep coming. (I often sketch the character in tandem with this sort of exercise.)

How does it fell to have predicted this meme back in 2007?

Magical. But I left out a key component - the salad.
