Dumb art advice for people who can’t understand logic like me:

First, turn off your brain and just draw a bunch, for example you want to learn to draw hands, go on Pinterest search ‘Hands’ and just copy what you see, do this everyday for 30min-1hour, slowly you’ll get a vague understanding of how hands work

THEN, go and watch some tutorials and the learn structure of the hand. The logic and structure are important but you won’t understand anything if you don’t already have a good picture of what the thing look like in your brain.

(This method works really well if you want to learn anatomy, don’t go dig into the muscle and skeleton, draw figures first, you don’t need to know what you’re drawing you just need to have an understanding of the flow of human body, it will help you greatly later on when you really go into the structure of body)

Of course this is only based on personal experiences, you can learn the theories and then practice but that did not work for me, if I don’t have hands on experience on what I’m drawing I won’t understand a single word in the tutorial. Do what works best for you I’m just putting this out here

#bearz rambling tag #I remember that one summer I spent an entire month just copying hands from Pinterest #well hands and sneakers #i got it tattooed into my muscle memory #it helped me a lot #i could draw very convincing hands even tho I don’t know shit about it #I know I know smart practice is better than brainlessly drawing #but #it works #okay #don’t overwork yourself 1 hour a day is enough #rush it will only give you carpal tunnel #I’m a dumb learner #muscle memory save me muscle memory

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line

“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”

“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"

but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.

he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.

his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.

ghost doesn't let him.

"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."

soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.

he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."

the ice in soap's eyes fractures.

ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.

“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”

#in my head its bc graves abducts his sister and is using her as hostage to draw him out knowing ghost will always follow him #but the intensity and intimacy of saying ‘you cant trust your mind not to betray you so let me be in charge of your body until you can’#after what happened to tommy he could never deny johnny his right to save his sister #but its bc of what happened to tommy that he knows he cant let him do it alone with only his rage to guide him #hes more likely to get himself killed and ghost wont live through that #so he has to balance it #and the only way he knows how is to completely shut down soap’s mind until hes no more than instinct and muscle memory #if he cant think practically then dont let him think at all #reduce him to a place where he can only follow orders #and when its finally over and his sister is safe and graves is dead #only then will he drag johnny back up to the surface #he’ll do it even if it means dragging him kicking and screaming back to humanity #instead of letting him sink in the depths where nothing hurts. theres no fear down there. no pain. only order #and thats the risk ghost took sending johnny to that place but he only did it bc he would stop at nothing to bring him back #and help him through the after #the breakdown. the rush of panic and rage and relief and anguish johnnys been supressing on his order #it was his word that turned johnny into a ghost #and its his touch that brings him back to the man #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #cod #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost x soap #ghoap #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #john soap mactavish #soap cod #save post

I'm gonna be so real i don't remember which episode i got this picture of Nathan from to redraw, i just wanted to do a body study. Version without lighting and effects below, and the og screenshot!!

#metalocalypse #my art #nathan explosion #i am certain i saved this from an episode but i donot recall which and yeah i recognise that says a lot about me as a person #i see a shirtless man and black out and hhmmmmmgh where am i #due to I Have Had An Oc Who Is A Dead Ringer For Him For Years Without Knowing It i feel like i have an advantage in drawing him #however it does mean i have the muscle memory of drawing a bigger guy than nathan is in the show as my oc is bigger.#but tbh i think thats only a positive lets just call it a mild redesign

A photo of the other thing I’ve been working on: crochet market bags! My brother wants to make a bunch to give as christmas presents this year and I needed something very mindless to craft to keep myself sitting still so I can rest and recover from this darn cold, so I’ve been helping with the mesh portions of some of the bags

#crochet wip #I get antsy if I haven’t crafted anything in a while #and oh my gosh I just realized that’s a trait in the sims. huh. what a thing to realize about myself lol #anyway my brother also crochets! he’s making the majority of these #but just like last year he decided to crochet everyone gifts in like. November.#so I’m chipping in to help get them all done in time :P #he could get them done I have no doubt #but this way saves him repetitive motion injuries from crocheting too much #and lets me reinforce the ‘crochet without looking’ muscle memory I have from when it was my primary craft #and gets me to SIT STILL so I don’t iron and cut a whole bunch of fabric and overdo it #which is not what I did today (okay it’s totally what I did today)
