NEVER BITCH
Hey guys, Areej Kassab reached out to me. I do not have the money since I'm a minor, but you might. If you see this, I implore you donate to her family.
Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
🙏 How You Can Help
Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.
Share Our Story: If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.
Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my family—a chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.
With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️
Back by unpopular demand me! Anyways fun fact about one of my oc's.
Null, the cowboy hates going into haunted houses. Maybe the reason why was a ghoul started going rabid in there and chased everyone around until they were breathless. Or Null just hates the atmosphere and the uneasiness. ( The haunted houses in RE:ALITY are really creepy). However Null will always dismiss your answer.
Yeah :DDD anyways see ya tomorrow
Shading test
I think I might redo this one later. Anyways, guess what two vocaloid songs I based this off on : ).
Hey guys, Ali reached out to me asking me to fund her family. Unfortunately, I do not own the money but you might. So that's why I think you should donate to a family in need
🚨Urgent help is needed for my family🚨
✅ Verified campaign – please check the end of the story 🔍📌
Hello, I am Ali. My account has been blocked twice, and I appeal to everyone who has a heart of mercy
I appeal to people who look at us with sympathy. Life is difficult that no one can imagine, and we have hope for you that my family will escape from this oppressor. As you know, there is no margin for life. They suffer from everything from fear, hunger, thirst, extermination, and what is more difficult than that is that I said cleanliness.
This is my family. As you can see, they wait for food every day. There is a big queue to get it. My family and I thank everyone who contributes to the hopes, even if it is just a little. And to the people who are not able to donate, we thank them for conveying our message to the supporters. Do not leave my family alone. Please help us. Please.

They are innocent children who are not guilty of anything. Please do not leave my family alone. I hope that there are merciful people, and I hope that you do not leave them alone.

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)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
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)
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)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
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. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are 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)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
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.
I decided to attempt to draw two Vocaloid covers with my oc's.
🇵🇸 A call from a family looking for safety 📢
We now face daily challenges to survive – things most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams of a constant fight for survival.
💔 Lost stability: The war has left us without work or a steady source of income. 🍞 Basic needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford as prices rise and resources become scarce. 📚 Suspended dreams: Like many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive.
I am sharing our story in the hope that someone will care. Even 10 euros can make a huge difference to us, and if you can't donate, resharing this post can help spread the word.
Your donation and support, no matter how small, will never be forgotten.
Your support is not meant to change our situation completely, but rather to give us a little comfort, a little hope, a way to carry on. We are not asking for much, and we understand that you cannot donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as donating.
Thank you for reading this article so far. It is so great for us to know that someone is listening to us. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
