Hello my fellow broke artists. This is for you
I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad
1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.
I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.
2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.
3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.
4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.
5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.
6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.
7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.
and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.
everybody look at this masterpiece rn
as a lot of you know, my mom passed yesterday and it was so unexpected. what started as a simple break led to her organs shutting down, her kidney, liver, lungs and even heart. she even coded at one point.
not only do we have to put on her funeral, but we are also losing wages that we need to pay rent and bills. she was on disability that gave her 1,400 a month and i was her home health attendant and i used to get paid 450 every two weeks.
we’re giving up our car bc we won’t be able to afford the payment or insurance and we’re going to try and move into a cheaper place when we’re able to. the place we’re in right now is 2,400 a month and it’s no where near worth it.
there’s never any obligation to donate, but even reblogging this would be appreciated.

If you had the chance to date any of the genshin boys who would you choose?? Comment/reblog your answer! I really wanna know who's the most popular :3
I'll do a separate one for the great, gorgeous, gaslight gatekeep genshin girlbosses (who are ten times better than any male character don't @ me) since it's not fair for the males since they won't stand a chance 😩
Mine would probably be zhongli?? Or even diluc when he stops his fatherless behavior (c'mon batman you got potential c'mon)

-----------------------
After almost a year after not seeing him you hadn't let him cross your mind for your own good. You knew that if you let him slip into your head... He'd plague your heart again too. When you had forced him away that night it had hurt your heart as badly as a breakup. It kinda was wasn't it?
You had forced yourself to move on and forgot about the boy with the cobalt eyes and the breath taking smirk.
It had only been three months since you and Hawks had made things official. All it took was one social media post about the two of you and the drama started to roll in. Something you weren't personally a fan of. Being a pro hero meant you'd have all eyes on you already, but being a pro hero couple? That was a breeding ground for rumors and bullshit you had never signed up for. Not to mention, he wasn't entirely there majority of the time. You found that every time you kissed the messy haired blonde you found yourself wishing for those scarred lips that now plagued your heart with pain. You had wondered if Hawks had remembered your old playmate. You never brought it up. His name bitter on your tongue.
When you had woken up next to the crimson winged hero one morning you felt sick to your stomach. You never wanted it to be like this. So, you left without a word or a note.
Your walk of shame that morning to your apartment was something you'd never forget. You couldn't understand why you hated this all so much... Yet, you knew exactly why.
He just wasn't Touya. You wanted Touya.
You pushed down the thoughts as you tried to swallow the terrible taste in your mouth. When you got home you were greeted by the sound of a bottle breaking. You guessed dad was in another mood before turning back out the door and heading to the nearest bar. Day drinking wasn't really your thing, but after today it might as well be.
Sad fact is... Now even after the sun had set you were still in your seat. The normal nightly patrons came and went. You were tired of being there and payed your tab before heading out and taking the alleyway to get home faster. You looked at your phone with all the messages from Hawks. 54 missed calls? He never called. 13 texts of him saying "Hello?". He should have taken the hint.
Your thoughts cut out and we're intruded by the sound of coughing. Suddenly a blue light shine from the corner.
Your heart stopped as you stared at him. When his eyes met yours all of the pain and emotions wash away. You felt your lips curl into a smile.
"Hey doll, I was just on my-"
You ran into his arms as you held him tightly.
"Don't leave me again... I need you with me."
You heard his heart speed up as he slowly wrapped his arms around you.
"I promise I won't." His voice was incredibly soft.
You let the tears fall. You wanted them to fall. You missed him. When you finally got the strength to pull back you were greeted by his bright cobalt eyes almost shining as they stared at you.
"I love you Y/N"
You stared at him and smiled brighter before pulling him into a kiss. The feeling of his scarred lips was something you had only dreamed about. And they were exactly what you wanted. What you had dreamed for. Neither of you pulled away anytime soon. By the time you had broke for air his hands were holding your waist close to him.
"I love you too. Don't leave again... Please. I don't want to lose you again. It hurt so bad Touya. I just-"
He put one of his long fingers to your lips.
"I get it baby doll. I'm not mad. I understood why you said what you did... But a hero shouldn't be in love with a Villian."
You frowned. "I don't want to be a hero knowing you are a villian..."
That's all it took for a grin to show on his face.
"Then I have a place for you... Right with me..."

“I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don’t really say that I’m an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.”
