I really hate it when people confuse the terms “Canon”, “Headcanon” and “Alternate Universe”. 

“Canon”: Something that has been outright been stated in canon outside of a joke, in a way that unambiguously means this exact thing and nothing else.

“Headcanon”: It was never unambiguously specified in canon, but I interpret this on my own in a way that goes along with canon without contradicting it. 

“Alternate Universe”: My game, my rules. 

They are not interchangeable terms. 

Sometimes I think to myself "hey, maybe this character needs a break" and then I remember I'm the one who's not giving them one.

i was gonna make more serious fanart but here we are

when you’re intimidated by your mutuals but you reblog their posts

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)

hope this helps!

my favourite thing about barbie is that it’s got cishet men online screaming crying throwing up for men to have equal rights in barbieland

"villains" with the sidekick they swear they didn't want
