Women Self Defense in 1947

“I think that’s what scares me: the randomness of everything. That the people who could be important to you might just pass you by. Or you pass them by.”

— Peter Cameron (via quotemadness)

There are 5 volumes of, Poses for Artists, and a book of my sketches for various, non-pose related projects called, Incomplete Thoughts.

ATTENTION COSPLAYERS:

I would like to make the paint brand “Angelus” known. It is a special paint that is for leather, faux leather, rubber, and similar surfaces.

This is literally the best paint you can buy if you love a pair of shoes, but they aren’t in the right color for your character.

This stuff coats VERY well AND the coats of paint bend with your shoes. This means no cracking!!

In the photos above I took black rain boots and painted them with Angelus Turquoise. As you can see, they don’t look black any more! It’s so good!

I managed to paint two boots with a little one ounce bottle of the paint, and I still have a third of the bottle left over!

The paint dries very fast, so you can put layer on top of layer on top of layer without it streaking.

You can get the paint on Amazon and it comes in every color!

I just really wanted to make this known!! :D This stuff is amazing!

The Umbrella Academy and Good Omens really just came out here with less than ten episodes, gave us the apocalypse and some gay historical romances said God was a Woman and than yeeted out huh

You know what we should’ve had as a post credit scene… A slide show of pictures and homemade videos of Tony, Pepper and Morgan through the years. Tony behind Pepper, touching her belly, his hands above hers. They’re not smiling, it’s too soon after the decimation, but there’s tenderness and affection, and a little bit of peace. A picture of their wedding day, even if it was private and there probably was no celebration. Just them and Happy and Rhodey. Morgan Stark’s birth. A video of Morgan’s first steps, taken by Friday, both Tony and Pepper near her, trying not to panic but also laughing so loud as the little girl is also laughing so loud about taking her first steps. Tony building the house (there’s always something to build and to fix), a video taken by Pepper: 18 month old Morgan Stark playing in the background with the cat, then going to her father. “Wanna help?”, he asks. A video of a summer swim in the river with the three of them and 2 year old Morgan in the middle, splashing water. They all laugh. Two and a half year old Morgan on Happy’s shoulders. 3 year old Morgan on Rhodey’s lap. All of her birthday parties through the years. Tony puts on those ridiculous animal onesies RDJ wears. And at the end… A video of Pepper and Morgan as a surprise birthday gift. They look straight at the camera and shout enthusiastically “Happy birthday, daddy! We love you three thousand!” and Morgan adds “You’re my superhero!!” The end.

Adam:”On a scale from “Dang Daniel” and “Fre sha vaca do”, how are you feeling?”

Crowley:”In between “It’s an avocado, thanks” and “How did you defeat Captain America” but as a solid answer i would say “I don’t need a degree to be a clothing hanger” What about you Pepper?”

Pepper:”Probably “Road work ahead?”

Aziraphale:”I speak many languages and this is none of them”

art tips post

for all the artist following me

Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up

Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.

Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.

Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.

Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art: Draw with Jazza |  DrawingWiffWaffles |  Proko |  Baylee Jae

Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.

There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.

Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:

Dynamic poses | Dynamic clothes | Dynamic figure drawing

COMPOSITION | PERSPECTIVE | CONSTRUCTION

Anatomy:

Legs

Arms

Hands

Heads

Body (Female) (Male

Color Theory

Improving your sketchbook

Most importantly, don’t give up! You may not immediately get notes or followers but it’s more important you get better than to have popularity. How do you think those popular artists got to where they are now? To be good you’ve got to work at it.

Hands exercise :)

Tom saying “Where’s my husband?” on a loop bcoz why the hell not…

This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!

We’ve heard so much about this… romance on set. This bromance, if you will.

I made a gif’d traditional study from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s unit on the anatomy of feathers using their remige example.
