Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)
Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
Pikat (art advice and critiques)
Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)
Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)
Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)
NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?
okay, i've had a moment to collect my feelings and,
this movie looks so unprofessional like...
blue light is being cast on her hair from the portal that is clearly not casting a blue light on the environment.
the creeper is backlit by a soft blue light, while this goober is clearly backlit by a harsh white light.
also, the whole thing is backlit! nobody has light on their face in this trailer!
even here, you can clearly see the light is behind everyone, but they are supposedly facing eachother!?
why does this look like this!? why even bother with live action actors when the whole movie is animated!? and don't even get me started on the animation.
there's nothing technically wrong with the models... but it all looks so "minceraft mobs if dey wur reel!!1!"
i swear i saw this same sheep render in, like 2015.
What if I just. Sneak into the archives. And start eating statements. I mean technically that'd help with the organization. Can't worry about organization and murderous entities if the statements no longer exist.
Do it then, coward.
we’reくコ:彡 entering squid territory
くコ:彡 くコ:彡 くコ:彡 くコ:彡 くコ:彡 くコ:彡 くコ:彡
me: i wish i could turn off certain mobs. i’d love to play more survival mode but the spiders really upset me :(
my dad, the most stoic person in existence, LEAPING out of his chair with great concern: I AM NOW OBSESSED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL PROCEED TO SPEND THE NEXT MONTH SCOURING THE INTERNET FOR NICHE MODS OR CONSOLE COMMANDS IN HOPES I CAN BRING YOU AND THE ENTIRE MINECRAFT PLAYERBASE PEACE.
my dad, a week later, more distraught than i’ve ever seen: brittany it’s awful. i’ve been googling around for solutions to your spider problem and lots of little kids have asked for help on the same issue and people online were Mean to them. i cannot type fast enough to stop all of them. this is a crisis right now
have this mspaint painting thats part of a project
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
WATCH I SAW THE TV GLOW
my FREE gdrive upload of i saw the tv glow. i encourage those who can to go pay to see it on the big screen, it's absolutely worth it. send me an ask if you have any issues viewing or downloading
i’m well aware that it would be a bit fan service-y but lonelyeyes being allowed to have a happy relationship running an antique store and generally living the quiet life jon and martin weren’t afforded would be gut wrenching.
“Jonathan Sims is pretty generic as names go.” Actually I think Sam googled Jonathan Sims and the first result that came up was a random horror writer, and Sam was just like “nah, can’t be this guy” and moved on
people who write jon as an extreme rules follower baffle me. he literally has his assistants committing crimes every other day in the name of research. that is not a man used to following the law.
being concerned about being a morally good or bad person over fiction is the funniest shit ever
like do you think George RR Martin is an abuse and incest apologist because he wrote a bery successful book series where both is absolutely portrayed as romantic? Lol
so true
like do incest ships gross me out? yeah
and do i think some of the time people write incest as a fetish? also yeah
but i’m not gonna miraculously change someones mind by fighting with them over the internet about it so there’s no point
so you just have to block tags/people and get on with your life
For the purposes of this poll, ship and let ship means you don't care what people ship; everything is fair game. Some might refer to you as "pro ship".
If you think certain things shouldn't be shipped, if you apply morals to what you or others ship, and/or you do care, then answer "no".
You define white for yourself.
No results option bc you either pick or you don't.
Please reblog for sample size.
i think some form of official media that would be a tma prequel would fix something in me. im not saying it would fix all of it but i think seeing more of gertrude as a character would make me a little more normal. therapy, iron supplements, and seeing gerry and gertrude interact more would probably take the tits AND the anxiety away.

who's looking back?"

thirteen, refusing to acknowledge that she has a single negative emotion and refusing to tell her friends anything about her: god i'm so fucking healthy
fourteen, after a shit ton of therapy: ohhhh i see that was actually incredibly unhealthy i get it now
fifteen, traumadumping on ruby so rapidly that she doesn't get a chance to ask deeper questions and he doesn't get a chance to process the enormity of everything: god i'm so fucking healthy
