another art tutorial post :) this time it’s for rainbow effects
Here’s the first half of slides from my comic class on Lettering!
Rest of the slides: https://gingersnappish.tumblr.com/post/616487287636803584/the-rest-of-the-comic-lettering-slides-first
My first shot at creating a sort of tutorial/guide, telling how I do things. On this initial chapter we’re going over the handy matter of Hands. Not meaning to be an encyclopedic explanation, only showing my own methods and self-taught clues. Hoping somebody finds it useful! :3 I’ll do more if this one is received well. So let me know~
My thanks also to the supporters in my Patreon campaign, who helped me decide which themes to focus on for a start. And are actually allowing this to happen. :D Cheers!
No more melted tomblerones or mising skulls, yyeann!
This is my basic process for pretty much everything I draw. The key is understanding the shape of the garment you’re trying to draw and the shape of the body part you’re putting it on.
Drawing the body first forces you to make the shoe, hat, or clothes fit that body. With practice you’ll be able to skip some steps. This method works the same no matter the perspective or pose. It just relies on your knowledge of what a hat looks like from above, or what the bottom of a shoe looks like. When in doubt, just google refs. Don’t necessarily need the exact angle you’re trying to draw. Look at different pics to give you an idea of how it works in 3d.
Shoes are always a bit tricky because feet are a stupid ass shape.
It might help if you think of hats as a cylinder fitted to the person’s head to help you get the perspective right before you push in detail. note: heads aren’t circles. they’re kind of egg shaped if you look at them from the top.
Demo in my class! :)

howdy!! i really enjoyed that stimmy leo pic!! how did you do the hand flap motion??
Hi, thank you so much!!! To learn how to draw hand flapping, I recommend studying animation smears.
Rise uses this technique a lot, pause just about any fast-paced sequence and you’re sure to find smear references!
That being said, I drew this little tutorial up real quick to show how I do it:
I hope that helps!!
hope this tutorial helps, anon!! a lot of this is a result of experimentation and seeing what looks best based on your picture. what i’m essentially doing is relying on the overall “mood” bg colour tie everything together cohesively by putting the local colours over it on the “soft light” filter. the other changes i do, such as the blue light on him and the flavour elements are all based around making it more cohesive, e.g. the glow from the pool is all over the background AND the subject, instead of just the pool, pulling them together, if that makes sense!
of course this also relies on having some sense of what a realistic version of your scene would look like - for this comic i looked up “pool scenes night” on google to gather references i could take the colours from, and looked up lighting references for the way light would hit a face if coming from the bottom, stuff like that.
the other example is from a commission i did:
in this case, the lighting situation has a lot more light, and isn’t as atypical as pool-at-night lighting. so it was easier to rely on my usual method of colour layering, i.e.
local colour on multiply (as opposed to soft light)
monochrome shading on normal
again, experiment experiment experiment! hope this helps!

I am not normally one to discourse, but I felt this was an excellent article about the anti movement in our fandom written with an objective and non biased perspective.
*this is especially important: these days on Tumblr there’s a wonderful atmosphere of being able to talk openly about your mental illness or your struggle. And that’s great! But there’s a difference between sharing in order to help yourself and other people and sharing just because you have no other coping mechanisms. As much as you’re able, try to work on developing a different outlet. People aren’t qualified to be your therapist because they’re nice to you a couple of times. Please remember that they have lives too, and their job is not to make you feel better or pity you, no matter how difficult your life is.
And last but not least:
But…
I really don’t have a way to better this.
Your interests are your own. I can’t advise anyone to change their interests to fit in with a certain group of people - that’s stupid, and actually quite damaging to your sense of self.
Instead, I would recommend that, maybe if you feel like your topics of conversation are falling flat with this group of people, you move on to other, greener pastures. There are bound to be places where your ideas mesh better with an audience.
And of course - try to be considerate about what you say and how you say it.
Sometimes, what might seem like a harmless comment to you might be a very discomforting thought to another person. I recently had a conversation on a forum with a guy who was telling me that his headcanon was that Pearl (from SU) would soon get a male love interest who loved mechanics and weapons next, and that would be her best arc, because she would finally get a ‘healthy’ love interest.
His intentions were good, but he was entirely unaware of how cringey this kind of thing was to a bunch of (probably queer) people, who have spent their entire lives being told that the only ‘good’ character development for them would be to get a ‘male love interest’. No one wanted to be the jerk to say “fuck off, we don’t want that to happen” but everyone was answering him in a flat way, trying to discourage the discussion further. Instead of picking up on the hint, he bulldozed on, thinking he was having a ‘lively conversation’ which was, in fact, in its late stages of death.
I know I’ll probably get a few messages to this saying: What about people on the Autistic Spectrum? Sometimes, people can’t pick up social cues or ‘hints’. And if that’s the case, it’s incredibly difficult to understand why you’re not having any luck communicating despite your best efforts.
I feel that on a person level, please believe me. I made this infograph for THAT VERY REASON. Because I WAS that awkward kid who didn’t pick up on hints well. In fact, I still have trouble talking to people. If any of you have had the misfortune of being my conversational partner, you’ll know that I tend to be overly blunt and come off as very unfriendly. It’s something that I, myself, am working on currently in order to grow into a better person. It’s a struggle in progress, but I am aiming towards the progress side, and I just wanted to help out others while I was at it.
For all fans of voltron
This is a message for everyone
After season 7 I will also leave the fandom .... but not for the reasons that you believe.
You want to stop watching the show because Klance is not canon ?! Because Axca could have a crush for keith ?! Because a character you liked without really knowing him is dead?!?!
Voltron Legendary Defender tells the story of teenagers and young adults discovering space lions and engaging in a war against aliens seeking to conquer the galaxy
This is not the FUCKING Love Story of Lance and Keith: The Serie !!
I understand that you can be disappointed but if on 13 epic episodes you remember only the elements mentioned above and that you go away because of that....
First, it's not you who decide the rest of the events of the show and then ... well ... GO AWAY !!! It will be good for everyone and Voltron deserves better as fans than aggressive idiots who are never happy of what they are given and whose only purpose is to see their ship become canon.
I'm sorry if I hurt more than one but some people should really question themselves (I'm talking to you) ... are you really REAL fans, I do not have the impression and if you want to leave like me, do it, but grow up and stop driving like spoiled rotten kids!
Dreamworks has brought you a great science fiction serie, BEAUTIFUL in the form, with endearing and intricate characters, epic battles, moving and funny moments, an eventful storyline and even a confirmed Lgbt couple for everyone to relate to... ( on 7 important characters ( paladins, coran and allura) one is canonically gay which is more than 14% of the group: it is perfectly realistic, not worth to imagine that all the characters are gay it would not have neither sense nor logic )...
..... and you are not happy, WORST you only see the evil and criticize it constantly.
Voltron owes you nothing and you are just ungrateful and aggressive towards the serie, the doublers, the staff and dreamworks that made you dream ...
I do not understand....
Hey tumblr community! i need your help.
There’s been a student movement in Bangladesh and hundreds of thousands students have been protesting for a week for safer roads and justice for those who have been killed in road accidents. I will include a post of someone from Bangladesh so you can learn more about the incident.
by now, the Mobil Data and WiFi services in the country have been restricted so the news of students being killed and attacked won’t get out. Students in Bangladesh are using the hashtag #WeWantJustice to spread the news. Please use the hash tag on twitter because they don’t have access to social media right now. Here are some more pictures of the movement that I collected from the internet:
Please reblog, repost, share- do whatever you can to get international media attention and help them. These are children. These are students. We can’t just sit around watch them get killed! They students are just as important as the students in the U.S. They deserve to be safe. They deserve to live. Spread the word.
The situation in Bangladesh right now Use the #wewantjustice hashtag of you have Twitter! The media and internet is being purposefully blocked so it’s up to us to spread the news!
Season 7 is coming out soon, so here’s a few reminders
If your ship doesn’t become canon, THAT IS OKAY. You can still ship it and enjoy it. Plus there’s always fanfic.
There is absolutely no reason to send death threats or harass the cast and crew of Voltron (looking at you, overkill klance stans). Please, just stop. Your ship just isn’t canon. Get the fuck over it. The show has an amazing plot and diverse, complex characters. It’s great even without the romance.
Voltron is a fucking kids show.
Don’t promote your ship by bringing down other ships. Don’t call a ship pedophilia or say that it’s “toxic” unless you know what you’re talking about and are not just saying it because you ship something else.
Klance stans: Calm the fuck down. Like, you guys are fucking embarrassing. I ship Klance, but I’m still going to be okay if it doesn’t become canon, and it probably won’t. BUT THAT’S OKAY.
Peaceful shippers: Thank you. You guys are amazing and I love you. Stay strong in this fucked-up fandom. (Even though I feel like most of the peaceful shippers had the good sense to leave a while ago.)
Stop with the ship hate. In general. Like, there are limitless realities. Your ship is probably canon in at least thirteen of them. Shut the fuck up.
Lotor stans: I am so sorry.
Sorry if that was aggressive. Here’s some friendlier reminders:
Shiro is gay. He’s the leader of Voltron and essentially one of the good guys, but he’s also flawed and has PTSD. He’s written as a person, which I dunno, I think that’s pretty awesome.
Pidge is Italian.
OUR BABIES ARE COMING HOME!
Adam exists. I don’t care if you ship Adashi or not. You can still appreciate Adam and the fact that he’s named after a vine.
Lance has a widow’s peak, and I find that beautiful.
Coran’s full name is Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe.
