Getting Back Into Painting My Dragon Bois More So A Lil Tutorial For How I Paint Scales!

“do it for the vine” = allow yourself to live life in the moment instead of maintaining a facade of normalcy for the enjoyment of not only yourself but of those around you

“commit to the bit” = adhere to the guidelines of an event that will in retrospect be nothing but a minuscule footnote, but continue to execute it for the complex web of happiness it brings you and your collective now

“fuck it we ball” = get the most you can out of life by putting the very thrill of being alive first and everyday occurrences and responsibilities last

hermits vs kids irl, my favourite stories:

the time Joe and his kid were at a shared pool somewhere and another kid was talking so loudly about how cool Iskall is

the time Cleo was teaching in primary school and got asked 'have you ever heard of mumbo jumbo, miss' and then having to act like they haven't known him since he was 17

the time etho was out with a friend and the friend's kid went 'omg that's etho' to their dad, and the dad came back like 'why does my kid know you?'

the time that Cleo left their job to be a YouTuber and their whole class was desperately trying to figure out who she was

Joe's kid going from 'minecraft sucks' to my friends are grian stans so I am too, dad explain grian to me (dad can we get hermitcraft (grian), no we have hermitcraft at home (Joe Hills))

Impulse's whole extended family being made to watch his new hermitcraft rap as Christmas entertainment by his mum

every take my kid to work hermitcraft video. from stress' kid dissing her season six castle, to Joe's kid getting multiple hermitcraft episodes dedicated to how much he loves her, keralis' ongoing joke about making his kids do all his grindy work, doccy chirping in the background of videos, and on and on and on

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

fuck consistency in art !!!  we ballin !!!!!!  whatever comes out of my hand next is up to god !!!!

Hopefully this is relatable and it isn’t just me👀

a selection of artist memes hand-picked and curated by me based on my own experiences

Very happy to finally post my second tutorial ! You guys have been so kind the last time and I really hope this helps some of you in your art path 🙇‍♀️
