Idk Who Needs To Hear That, But Using A Shit Ton Of References For Art Is Valid. Tracing, As Long As

Idk who needs to hear that, but using a shit ton of references for art is valid. Tracing, as long as you credit the person if it's very identical and if you post it, is valid. You learn by doing. So if you trace something enough, you'll eventually be able to draw the previously traced piece from memory, and you can adapt it to whatever you want. Be it a different style, a different pose, a different palette.. Same with references.. That's what they're for, people. Tracing isn't illegal, neither is using references, no matter how cheap that feels.

That's just how we learn. So, would you rather be stuck and eventually give up because you can't get it right? Or will you seek help by the very tools given to artists so they can learn these things?

It's literally in the Sesame Street opening.. Not sure if it's in the English version, but a german verse in there was always "Sometimes you have to ask to understand these things!". So ask. Ask google, ask people around you who draw, ask Google for references, ask. Just ask, guys

FANNIBALS, HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THIS??

Can we PLEASE talk about the fact that they didn't bother making Mads Mikkelsen look ANY different from his role in Hannibal in Fantastic Beasts 3?? I don't hate it, but I can only see Hannibal and I am SOBBING.

"You're a wizard, Hannibal."

"Excuse me, I am a what?"

Idk and idc if this has been said before, this needs as much attention as possible 😭

The only three things separating Stanley Parable from being any ordinary horror game which plays in some abandoned, yet seemingly still fully functional office complex, are

1, the lights don't suddenly turn off,

2, You have company whilst being in some creepy, abandoned office building,

And 3, the disembodied voice, which happens to be said company, which follows you everywhere and monitors every decision you make isn't actively trying to kill you or scare the crap outta you.. (let's ignore some of the endings in which he did)

If you take away all three points, this game would definitely be a very creepy horror game.

Still Tryna Figure Out How To Draw Them, But I Love Every Second Of Figuring These Dumbasses Out Without

Still tryna figure out how to draw them, but I love every second of figuring these dumbasses out without references because I like to torture myself. (Please use references, don't repeat my mistakes)

Also, in case anyone's wondering, I don't put a filter on my pics of the sketches. My screen is grainy because I use a paper-feel screen foil..... Which is very abrasive and sands down my pen nib every few days.. Tho luckily they're cheap to get so it's not too bad 😭

This fic has TW: Graphic description of violence and child neglect.

Okay hear me out.. The Slime villain is cool and I wanted him to have more relevance because yes. So I gave him and entire personality and background and yea.. Also, Izuku has an immortality quirk that revives him because the shit Bakugo put him through is not something one easily survives, bet. So,, I,, idk, it was a good idea before I actually started writing it 😭😭

Not my best work but I kinda like it..

Sometimes there's things I never intend to post that I end up posting anyway. That's some of the things for example. Truthless Recluse as tf2 Medic and Smilk Spy, mm.. I think it's kinda obvious that I drew one of these on Strawpage 💀
