Looking for people who wants to help with a TOH fanfic project

Aye! Thanks for stopping by this post! Not sure if you remember this blog (https://www.tumblr.com/kai525h/700824695994548224/the-owl-house-crack-au-new-life-old-scales?source=share), but I can safely say that it has evolved from a simple crackfic idea to a full blown AU!

I've been working the last couple of months to write down the universe and characters of the "New Life, Old Scales" fic, and I'm looking for anyone interested in putting their name on it. Anyone willing to beta read, throw in ideas and simply discuss is welcome, though considering that this is my first ever fic, experience is greatly appreciated.

Just hit me with a DM or a reblog this post with your desire to be a part of the project on it. Thanks for reading!

@dimiclaudeblaigan asked for a tutorial on how to begin drawing. Good news! If you can draw a funky looking stick man, you have already started!

I think that stick people are a great starting point for artists because of the things you can learn from them that will be important later on.

If you are able to draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can easily put together a stick person.

Congratulations! You have started to draw. :)

A stick person is a very minimal artistic representation of a real life person. It is simple yet recognizable, and is widely used in art, media, and signage.

But what can a stick person teach us about drawing people that look more like… well, people? Lets have a look!

By simply adding a few more lines, we can add a pair of eyes and a mouth. Maybe even a little triangle nose! Or half circles for ears. We can now draw a face, which provides a basis for all sorts of expressions.

These simple additions can allow us to explore the wide range of human emotion and individuality.

This may seem like the basics of the basics. But that is what we want! In order to get to the point where we are able to draw complex, elaborate representations of humans and objects, we will need to start with simple shapes like lines and circles and build our understanding from there.

For instance, lets give our stick person some cool new features, such as hands and feet. I chose little squiggly circles to represent hands, and triangles to represent feet.

We can go a step further and modify the body of the stick person to include shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. These parts of the human body are quite complex in real life But here, all we need to do is add a few simple lines and dots to our stick person.

The lines provide some additional structural elements to our stick person's body, which are the shoulders and the hips. The dots indicate the points of articulation - elbows and knees, the places where the arms and legs bend!

Now we can use our stick person to show us an even wider range of human movement, action, and expression.

Our little drawing of a human being is evolving! All it took was adding a few more lines and shapes here and there.

By elongating some of the existing lines and making the head an oval instead of a circle, we can give our stick person proportions that resemble that of a real life human.

By this point, we have managed to add more complexity to our stick person simply by using our ability to draw lines, circles, and other basic shapes!

These basic ideas are the building blocks that will enable us to create more complex shapes.

The next part may be a considerable step up if you are absolutely new to drawing, but I have decided to include it in order to show you how complex objects like the human body can be built from shapes that are a bit more complex than circles and lines.

For example. Two ovals and a rectangle can be combined to create a cylinder.

Six squares can be combined to create a cube, or a box. Here, each square is distorted slightly depending on which way the cube is facing.

Note that the back faces of the cube and the bottom of the cylinder are hidden. These shapes allow us to visualize that which should not normally visible.

A sphere from all perspectives can be represented by a circle. But we can make it more like a sphere by adding lighting and shadow if we so desire.

Cubes, cylinders, and spheres are examples of 'solid shapes' because they consist of 3 dimensions.

Lets see how these solid shapes can be used to compose the human body.

By stacking three cylindrical objects, we can create a torso. Two spheres have been added to form shoulders, while a smaller cylinder forms the neck.

An arm is an alternating sequence of spheres and cylinders connected together. Note that the hand has been simplified for this example.

We can apply these solid shapes to the rest of the body to give us a more recognizable representation of the human form. It doesn't even have to be perfect. And just like that, our stick figure now has a silhouette that is unmistakably a person!

In the above examples, notice that we kept the stick person at the beginning while building up the shapes and solids around it. This is because the stick person serves as a guide for positioning the body and its various parts -> also known as posing.

You can do the same thing to everyday objects! Here, I drew a wine glass by stacking these three dimensional solid shapes.

The cup and its contents are two ovoid shapes that were cut in half. The stem is a very thin cylinder shape. The base is a cylinder with a slightly wider bottom.

Solid shapes help inform us how objects and parts of the human body may appear from different perspectives.

For example, a sphere can be used to demonstrate how the human head appears when looking up or down, turned to the side, or tilted at an angle.

With these examples, I hope I have managed to convinced you that if you can draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can draw a person! You just have to train your eye to recognize the simple shapes within complex objects. Try it with everyday objects as well! Or even your favourite media! A drawing subject can be as simple or as complex as you envision it to be.

Once you have mastered that, there are many aspects of drawing you can explore from here that may require you to seek additional resources or a fellow artist's advice.

Last of all, remember that drawing is an iterative process. Even if you draw something correct the first time, you will need to draw it again and again to get it right all times! And by making small changes like the ones we explored in this tutorial, your drawings will gradually transform!

I hope what I've demonstrated here are enough to provide the basics of how to get started with drawing objects and people, and also to help refresh more experienced artists. :) Hopefully I didn't go too off topic with what was requested, and let me know if there are any more questions I can answer.

Cheers :3

An Unofficial Map of the Boiling Isles- Created after immense research into the Geography and Lore of the Boiling Isles. I spent SO much time and effort on this, both combing through episodes, and the lengthy art process. But I think it paid off.

The Owl and The Serpent (An Owl House AU)

Warden Wrath and the Conformatorium guards move the basilisks to a new location in the middle of the night for further experimentation. Vee manages to steal the key to her cage from one of the guards, freeing herself and others.

The basilisks separate to make it harder for the Emperor's Coven to find them and have been on the run ever since. Hiding with a cloak, Vee slithers through Bonesborough until she comes across Eda's stand, where Owlbert has just returned from the Human Realm.

The Point of Divergence: After throwing her book away, Luz did not go looking for it and did not chase after Owlbert to the Boiling Isles.

Eda goes through the belongings to see which human "goods" are worth selling and is about to burn the Good Witch Azura book when Vee sneaks into the tent. However, Owlbert catches her and informs Eda.

Eda closes the portal and confronts Vee, tearing off her cloak and seeing what she is. Vee hides among the collected junk and begs Eda not to hurt her. But Eda is more fascinated that a member of a long-dead species is still alive.

Eda recognizes Vee is a scared child and sympathizes with her. Vee does not tell Eda everything when she asks for her name and where she came from, but just enough to make a convincing alibi.

Eda tries to sell some magical items to Vee (because she would), remembering that basilisks consume magic. Then, she and Vee hear a commotion outside the tent and peek out to see what is happening.

Vee's "scent" has been picked up by the Emperor's Coven, led by Eberwolf. Realizing Vee is in danger, Eda uses herself as a distraction and gives the young basilisk the time she needs to flee.

The Emperor's Coven soldiers fall for it, and Eda quickly deals with them. But she realizes Eberwolf did not fall for it and is still hunting for Vee, who is revealed to the public as a basilisk. This causes everyone to panic and aids Eberwolf in capturing her, the "monster."

Eda flies-in to save Vee and fights Eberwolf, but the Head of the Beast Keeping Coven proves to be a challenge. Afraid of overusing her magic, Eda decides to use her "Distraction Spell" on them, confusing them long enough for her to grab Vee and gun it.

While soaring through the air, Eda consoles Vee, and she begins to cry, saying that no one has ever been so kind to her. Before landing at the Owl House, Eda uses a quick spell to mask her scent from Eberwolf.

King meets Vee and assumes Eda has brought him a new "minion" for his "Army of Darkness" Eda explains to King and Vee that she is welcome to stay in their home for as long as she needs. Though Vee must, of course, "pull her weight."

Vee expresses her gratitude to Eda. The Owl Lady informs the basilisk that she will need to disguise herself when she travels outside the Owl House. Vee notices Eda still has the Good Witch Azura book and focuses on the cover's central character. She shapeshifts into a semi-identical version of Azura, beginning her future adventures with Eda and King.

I never thought I would need Stoner Asriel and Hispanic Susie in my life, but I’m glad that I do now

OK SO i wanted to celebrate my 420 followers on instagram in a special way so i drew this comic. Toriel is out of town on a pie convention so the kids decide to have some fun.
