This book changed how I viewed media
When I was younger than I am on the day I type this (and certainly the day you read it) and was just learning how to appreciate art on a level beyond the superficial, I heard about this book.
It taught me to consider things about art, why the art took a certain form and why it didn't take another, depending on its purpose.
What is the art trying to communicate, how is it doing so, and how easy does it want the understanding to come to you?
Its fascinating on a historical level.
It's educational.
its free if you're clever
idk, book recs, that would make a better case if the sentences i wrote actually connected to the pages i chose.
check it out its on the archive

Peace and love
#pink posts#i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged#i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit?#why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors#is it the textures they used? the brushes?#study them and try to put your spin on it#and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

Expertise can't help you here.
#dungeon meshi#kabru#laios touden#falin touden#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

Weird phenomenon I've seen on tumblr
#like i understand how frustrating it can be to make art and for it to get no attention#but that ain't an excuse to shame and threaten people into reblogging#some of y'all need to relearn some manners ffs#like christ#usually anything to guilt trip/shame ppl into reblogging does the opposite#because good god who the hell wants to spread the guilt tripping?!#anyways back to you regular tagging schedule#my art#doodles#rambles#comic#my sona#furry art#furry

Hm… it seems that they have something in common?
[BONUS]
Also, where did Mithrun’s monster knowledge come from..?
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#dunmeshi#mithrun#mithrun house of kerensil#mithrun delicious in dungeon#mithrun dunmeshi#laios#laios touden#laios dungeon meshi#kabru#kabru of utaya#art#kabru dungeon meshi#kabumisu#labru#laimisu#? idk.#im a bitch and im tagging it despire this being noromantic. blah blah up to interpretation#i just find it so funny how both laios and mithrun know alot about monsters. for very different reasons.#i need more people to understand the agenda.#mithrun forced to know the biological ecosystem of monsters bc hes dungin lord while laios is in it for the game#also kabru being their link HATING MONSTERS#SO FUNNY#free kabru

#pearlescentmoon#smajor1995#wild life smp#namemc spoilers#i hope these two never get along in the storyline i find them fascinating#OKAY SO#originally i had this sketch back in session 2 when scott manages to throw her something actually edible JUST IN TIME#and now with the namemc spoilers of pearl ACTUALLY having a yellow eye which does! kind of match scotts esp since he died for this#i figured itd be an appropriate time#i did edit it though the original was pearl eating smth#now do i think scott and pearl has had any Major (heh) interactions to warrant this fanart in WL?#frankly no LMAO theyve been very civil you go guys . but i like the dynamics between them anyway#also i finally got a piece with scott!!! hes been very hard to draw goodness#anyway long rambly tags#eydidraws#my art#mcyt#trafficblr#galaxyduo#majormoon#** i say civil because its just been more on verbal light jabs at each other rather than anything Really significant ?#and well. its obvious all 3Gs are being very careful around each other which makes me JUST A L IL SAD#id love to see them let loose and be vicious but i also understand the angle theyre coming from#anyway can you tell i like the 3g dynamics
