#art supply stores

posting a gift wip since I know my siblings aren't on here haha

Just a heads up, something really messed up is going on with Joann (fabric/craft store) and I highly recommend you don’t order online from them. Multiple people, including myself, have placed orders, had the entire thing or most of the order canceled by the store the same day while claiming the items aren’t in stock. However, they will hold the amount of your order for a month, in PayPal’s case, and not actually cancel it. I have called, emailed, and texted all of their customer service lines and only got one text in response that was just… a lie?

Obviously, they should not be allowing people to order stuff that supposedly isn’t in stock to begin with, but they should also actually cancel the order and not let a chunk of your money sit in limbo or never refund it.

Additionally, the twenty something items I ordered (to make a gift for a friend and for some Patreon stuff) were all very different things and there’s no reasonable way every single item was out of stock. And then they lied and said it was a payment issue:

When I spoke to both my bank and PayPal they said everything is up to date and perfectly functioning.

I honestly can’t tell you what, exactly is going on. But something is. And it’s bs. And I would highly recommend you find another source for crafting supplies if you can.

Do you have any good resources/references/advice for drawing (late republican) Roman clothing? I want to draw a couple of historical figures but thinking about drawing a toga makes me feel like 😖😖😖...

-Costumes of the Greeks and Romans, Thomas Hope

-Greek and Roman Fashions, Tom Tierney

-The World of Roman Costume, ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante.

-Decorative Symbols and motifs for Artists and Craftsmen/Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, Dover Publications

-photos & videos from reenactors and reenactment events

-build a screenshot reference library from movies and shows that have costume designs you like, that kind of thing. grab a blanket and wrap yourself up in it toga style and take a photo if you need a specific angle. etc. museums usually have a lot of their galleries online, and places like the met often shoot statues from multiple sides.

Bunch of Viktor sketches in the most random places possible and me living my best life

7 days!!! Let's goooooo

[riodoesstuff]

these are the only things ive been able to draw ever since I landed on the US AURGH

I have like. all my artfight revenges and attacks sketched out in my sketchbook, fr all of them (since I did them while i was on the airplane) but problem is i don't really have any way to draw them digitally,,,,,, my mom has a tablet but i barely have time to use it + my ass is not used it

I might have to do the attacks traditionally, which sucks because i don't have my colored pencils with me ( ILY CMYK pencils, but you are not enough for the work) + I wanna do them digitally so they actually look good

Anyways, heres a sketch of Z and ENA using CMY colored pencils and a black sharpie while I try to figure stuff out

Papercraft commission of Agatha, Gil and Tarvek from long-running juggernaut of a webcomic, the wildly creative and gleefully madcap Girl Genius! I’ve loved this comic for years and years, and was SO excited to get to depict characters whom I’ve enjoyed for so long in all their sparky glory.

Did something new for the traditional media challenge! I’m a little late, but I’m satisfied with the final results despite running into a bunch of issues with the mediums I used.

Day 🎃 34

Backstory: Kay finds out Sebastian’s never gone trick or treating before so she pledges to take him and INSISTS on getting matching costumes. Edgeworth is forced to tag along because he doesn’t trust Kay in the slightest and she also forces him to match with them.

(I could also see Phoenix joining in with Trucy while he and Edgeworth are Wario and Waluigi maybe. I’m open to any other ideas so feel free to leave a comment/reply and I might draw it who knows.)
