Mom: You Need To Learn How To Cook For Yourself

Hedgehog Inadvertently Plays a Respectable Measure of Jazz Just by Walking Atop Piano Keys

In the United States they don’t say I love you they say “you got kik?” And I think that is beautiful

File this under “super obvious yet I always seem to forget it.”

vibes of that experimental time in animated kids movies: alt indie, gay, STRONG aesthetic, weirdly dark, epic world-building, gay again, found family as fuck, demon ladies, cat ladies, father issues, SHIPS AND STUFF

idk what was UP with this time period, but I want to embody whatever these vibes were into my very soul

Hello! I'm a self taught artist who wants to get better at shading/lighting and backgrounds especially. But whenever I try to do a background study, I can't break it down and it ends up looking terrible. Do you know of anything that would help?

Hi! I would like to talk a little bit of the thought process behind photo study and the importance of simplicity.

It is really important to break down an image to chunks of value rather than seeing the detail  first, which can lead to over-complicated mush of colors with no constructed value.

These are some of the artists that inspired me to get used to breaking down images in the most simplest way possible:

Notice how super simple and straight-on-point his thumbs are? And this is how his colorscript for Moana looks like:

Zero detail. Yet you have all the information you need!

I personally think these thumb studies are super important to train your eyes to break down an image in values and colors and therefore be able to organize and design your painting better.

Probably Bullshit But Still A Little Scary: Ethan Is Claiming That His Super Soaker Is Filled With Pee

Tensions are rising over in Brian’s backyard, and you better believe that it’s all thanks to the king of big talk himself, Ethan Hutchinson. Ethan just started blasting everyone with a Super Soaker and is claiming that it’s filled with piss, even though it’s probably not—but still, it’s impossible to be 100 percent sure.

Everyone knows Ethan is full of shit, but at the same time, he’s kind of nuts, so it’s tough to put something like this past him.

It was all smooth sailing over at Brian’s until around 5 o’clock, when Ethan got home from wrestling practice and walked the half block to Brian’s with Super Soaker in hand, making a beeline to the trampoline everyone was hanging out on. This maestro of bullshit wasted no time in spraying everyone with the water gun, laughing the whole time and snorting out how everyone should be so skeeved because they just got shot with his pee. Logan was the first one to tell him he’s a goddamn liar, but Ethan quickly rebutted with a bogus story about how wrestlers need to drink a ton of water so he pees in his Super Soaker sometimes, which is such a bad lie but also sounds like it could kind of makes sense, so it’s hard to know.
