HOW TO PAINT CLOUDS ✦ Digital Art Tutorial ✦ Paint Tool SAI

Want to learn how to paint clouds easy and with fluffy results? Then this tutorial is for you! In this tutorial I show you my technique for painting fluffy clouds step by step using Paint Tool SAI. Not only is it EASY and BEGINNER friendly, but it's also really enjoyable and fun! Painting anime clouds is always my favorite part of every artwork I create, and I hope you'll enjoy this way to paint clouds too! :) By the end of this digital art tutorial you'll know how to draw anime clouds that make your artworks come alive! Throughout the video I mostly use the same brush, the Marker brush in Paint Tool SAI. I change the size, blending and persistence settings depending on whether I'm painting the clouds or blending them but the rest of the settings generally stay the same. I added a screenshot with the starting stettings if you need to copy them. I also share suggestions on how to implement the technique if you're using a different program like Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint that don't have the exact same tools as Paint Tool SAI. If you want me to create more tutorials on backgrounds or environments, leave your requests in the comments below! Hope you enjoy this anime cloud tutorial :)

Markiplier & Golden Freddy | Wisteria Street | FNAF Fanart Speedpaint Truth be told, it had been a very challenging year for the Fazbear family. Though they had survived more than five nights at Freddy's, plenty of mischievous shenanigans from Darkiplier and Antisepticeye, and relentless attacks from a deadly yet funny looking Plushtrap, staying at home was proving to be the hardest quest of all. The lockdown kept the Fazbear family indoors, only able to see the outside world thorugh the window. They were many, and for the most part it felt like everything was mostly the same, yet so different. It felt lonely. The world seemed so distant and cold now. But Mark made his best to make his little spirits feel how much he cherished them at every moment. They were isolated but never alone, and they knew the day would come when they'd be able to step outside again And it did. When they were finally able to go out, everything had changed. The sun seemed to shine brighter, the breeze was warmer, the flowers' scent felt like a cozy hug. Spring was in full bloom and the Fazbear family felt beyond blessed to be able to experience it again. Cherishing immensely what they once took for granted. The year had felt like a decade, but they were more determined than ever to enjoy every moment. And seeing lil' Golden Freddy smile and let go of his fear, even if for a second, filled Markiplier's heart with love and gratitude. ---- This song was inspired by Taylor's Swift Cornelia Street, mostly the "I'd never walk Cornelia Street again". It made me wonder how Mark would feel if he lost his FNAF children. For the drawing I replaced Cornelias with Wisteria flowers instead since I really love those more. I drew this piece in April when we were in the middle of our strict lockdown in Spain. I too was craving to go outside and see the Spring. Stay safe! ---- Would you like to see more videos of #Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Daniel and the #FNAF? Let me know in the comments below!

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

The fact that a 12-year-old has to take the initiative…

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source

Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.

Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.

Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.

As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.

The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.

The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction.  A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.

Hello people! Here is the final version. I had some difficulties with Aoru’s booty looking too stiff…. but now I hope it’s looking correct😎 Anyway, the prints are on their way. Soon they will be available on my storenvy. I was so happy to work with colors again. Storyboarding is cool but sometimes I feel the urge to play with colors for no reason.
