have you gone to an art college or done any kind of schooling? i really love your art and i'd love to know how you've furthered your craft

Nopeee would’ve loved to go to school for animation or concept art or something but unfortunately illustrative art is a horrible career field and costs 1 jillion dollars. I’m doing a graphic design degree at a public college and hoping to find some stability in that field.

I feel as though I progress very slowly unfortunately.. I could attribute that to lack of formal art schooling but at the same time everything I’ve learned has been on my own, all it takes really is time and determination.

I’m still doing my best to learn and get better but the fundamentals of illustration and design will take you very very far. It’s very hard to work abstractly without a basis of reality to work with. Ignoring fundamentals kept me at a plateau for a very very long time.

However that’s easier said than done, as much as it can help sitting down and studying muscles and skeletons FUCKING SUCKSSS! You should still do that but I found it much easier and rewarding to apply that study to how master artists draw bodies. Looking at the bumps and bends of a human face is one thing but seeing how someone angles them, which parts they exaggerate and what results that produces, helps immensely. Sorry I can’t offer much more than that but yeah, you gotta observe everything always 👁️

Also I can’t stress this enough, you have to draw more than just what you think is aesthetically pleasing or comes easy. You will learn a lot more tediously recreating an old man’s wrinkles than drawing the same smooth-faced people over and over again

Hot take: Daemon Magnus looks sexier than daemon Fulgrim.

Why pit them against each other? Why not a daemon sandwich? The possibilities are endless-

When I was seven or so, my parents were called into the school guidance counsellor’s office. I have no memory of what prompted this, only that my parents were informed that I was too blunt. They were told that I was far too direct and needed to work on how I spoke to people (especially adults?)—I needed, they said, to learn the Oreo cookie way of speaking: sweetness, truth, sweetness.

Again, I was seven. My folks, originally from New York, were ticked off. If you knew my mom, you can picture her how dare you face and know that someone was going to regret what they just said. (Dad, too, but he has strict rules about how he appears on social media, which is to say, he does not. I only ever, and rarely, share photos of my pops and siblings person to person.)

Anyone who has known me for five minutes knows I’m not mean. I wasn’t a bully. I was being bullied, but that’s a different story. I was, simply, an honest kid who said what she meant. If you ask me a question, you get a real answer. And, in turn, I always want the truth. That’s just how I’m wired.

Even now, as an adult (or pretending to be one), I tend not to mince words���and if I care, it is a fact I want you to know. Because we are so often left to doubt or wonder—and our brains can play tricks on us. So, I try to be as clear as possible, and I still fail at that occasionally. But I still cannot fathom not wanting honesty from someone, even when it’s difficult. It just doesn’t compute.

There are, in life, people who are going to want you to be different than who you are. (I am not one of them, fwiw.) They are going to try to tell you that you really should be more this or more than. They can be sly about it or loud.

They're wrong. Just like that counsellor was, when I was a kid.

We are all messy and messed up. Imperfect and quirky, with tumultuous hearts. We have a past littered with heartbreak and things we don’t talk about. Stories that helped shape us, for good or ill. But even on your worst day, you are still brilliant, still worthy. This truth can slip through the cracks, pushed down by insecurities and doubt. But pick it up—I’m holding it out to you, right now.

Blocking isn't you winning, lol, it's me winning because you can't use me for clout anymore.

There's a very weird terf who keeps reblogging my pro trans posts with her incessant rambling about how women are defined entirely by having vaginas, and aren't anything more than that, and she has a weird cult of followers who reblog from her saying omg you totally schooled op, I'm so in love with you.

And you know what, girlies?

Make your own posts.

I know your game.

Your reach isn't nearly as far as mine, but I refuse to give you any attention or clout.
