"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS SOOOO MESS UP! I ONLY HAVE 1 HOUR LEFT!!!"

I’ve seen posts about digital artists problems, and traditional artists problems, but I’d like to make a post about some of the frustrations that arise when your both.

I’m either good at drawing in my sketchbook or I’m good at drawing on my intuos, I just can’t be both.

I have to pick the canvas size???

Going to lineart something digitally that you sketched on paper but by the time you’re about done it looks like trash.

“AGH WRONG LAYER”

“hhnnnNNNNGGGG THIS DOESN’T HAVE” LAYERS”

“I’VE BEEN COLORING FOR SO LONG I FORGOT HOW TO SKETCH”

I wanna draw on the computer but I’m scrolling on tumblr instead

I wanna draw in my book but it’s on the other side of the room and I’m too lazy to go get it

“Where’s my wacom pen??” meets “where’s a fricking eraser????”

I tried zooming in on my sketchbook one time

How do you find inspiration to write?

FINDING INSPIRATION

By this definition, there are two different types of inspiration. Lets look at the second one first, because it’s the easier to talk about. 

Inspiration as a sudden stroke of brilliance.

This is the kind of inspiration a lot of people think of when they consider the world. It’s the muse, the genius. It’s that moment when you’re not expecting enlightenment but it hits you anyway, with such force that you have to race to your keyboard or art pad or so-forth to let the creativity flow out so you don’t explore from it.

It’s also completely and entirely unpredictable. You can’t force yourself to have this sort of inspiration.

It’s also not the mark of a Good Creator to have this kind of inspiration. Most of the best works ever made were made without the slightest touch of sudden brilliance.

This sort of inspiration is lovely to feel and it’s empowering to work under, but it’s irrelevant to the end result of a project. Good creations are not produced by sudden brilliance but by showing up and doing the work. 

(For more about this, see Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk here)

Inspiration as a mental process.

This is a softer, less-spoken-of kind of inspiration. It’s the inspiration that comes from a painstakingly assembled pinterest board or playlist, the inspiration that takes time and effort to produce, the inspiration that doesn’t hit you over the head but fills you up, slowly, though energy and understanding of one’s self.

There are many ways to produce this inspiration, and each individual creator will only respond to some of them. Lets consider a few now:

Visuals. Having visuals that remind you of the thing you’re writing, drawing, etc, can spark inspiration for a lot of people, especially if they relay the atmosphere of the project, getting the creator in the mood for it.

Sound. Playlists with music that fits the type of creating, the project itself, or some particular aspect of the project, like a scene or a character, can be a fantastic source of inspiration and if you form a habit out of only listing to that music when you’re preparing for or actively creating that thing, it trains your brain to turn on “creating mode” so to speak. 

Habit. In the same way, any sort of habit that’s specific to your creation process can be very useful: setting up your workplace in a creation only area, with the same background noise, a similar drink, a similar time of day, etc. 

Meditation. Now, I don’t mean the sort of meditation where you drop everything from your head and float away from your body. I mean deliberate contemplation. Meditate on your project, on where it’s going and what it means to you, on the emotions it invokes and the reasons you chose to write it in the first place.

Interaction. Sometimes you have to start without any inspiration and by diving into your project you’ll gain that inspiration through your interaction with your creation. Maybe it’s work for the first five paragraphs or the first sketch, but as you find your flow and connect with that you’re doing it might just embrace you in return.

But remember: this sort of inspiration doesn’t come every time you want it. Even the most dedicated creators will lack it entirely some days, and that’s perfectly normal. Inspiration like this is a really nice bonus that can help you find joy in shaping your creation, but it, like sudden brilliance, isn’t necessary to the creative process. It’s just a nice bonus.

How to get attention :

First, you come at some one that you want to get attention while he/she sleeping and then you scream until he/she wake up. Clever

I F*CKING DIED AT THIS. ok, so this is the second and last spoiler I’ll post

Some of my students have asked me where to hide if a shooter shows up at our school. Some of my students are saying that this is why they “don’t want to fucking come to school anyway”. One of my students had a panic attack so severe in the morning while getting dressed that he couldn’t come to school because he was “afraid he’d get shot”.

And here I am, trying to talk these poor high schoolers through it all. I have to talk to them about life and death, and guns and fear, instead of music and art — like I planned to in College. We have to talk through their emotions, their anger, and their despair over how they will never know whether this will be the day it happens or not. I’m trying to be brave, and I’m trying to be strong for them, even though I spent all night last night crying.

The USA needs to fucking do something about this. It’s not fair that these CHILDREN have to worry about their lives being in danger when they should only be worrying about math, science, English, music, art, and history. They should be thinking about Prom and learning what love is like, not texting their parents all day because they’re worried that someone might literally kill them. This is disgusting.

Fantasy Guide: Common battle wounds and how to fix them

Arrow wounds: Now if the lung, heart, kidney, other major organ is hit, there may be little to do. The kidney has a back up, so maybe a skilled surgeon could save him, not exactly sure however. If hit by an arrow and not hit dangerously in an organ or artery, we can help. Firstly, DO NOT REMOVE arrow by yanking. Arrow must be worked from the skin by skilled hands. Once arrow is out, wash would with clean water/alchohol/herbal remedies. To heal slow, sew up wound and wrap in bandages. To speed it up, cauterise the wound with fire. It will hurt and patient pay pass out but now the arrow wound can heal faster. This works for crossbow bolts as well. On the gross side, arrows may be smeared with dirt or shit, so sepsis is a danger. This is how the great Richard the Lionheart died. Sometimes the mighty lion is killed by a shit arrow. But hey, shit happens. Arrow wounds take a couple of weeks to heal.

Sword slashes: if shallow, wash and bind up. May require stitches. If deeper, repeat process with more stitches and more bandages. Even if shallow, the cut must be washed using alcohol or clean water. May take a few days to weeks to heal depending on wound depth and severity.

Stab wound: Again don’t remove knife or object. If already removed, wash would and sew it up. You may need to cauterise. If guts, organs, brain, is falling out, there is nothing to do. This may take a couple of weeks to months to heal depending on wound.

Broken Bones: A break must be splinted with a board of wood and bandages. Slings can support arms and wrists. If your character breaks a leg, it may be worse. Breaks don’t heal great without modern medicine. Your character may have a limp or leg pain. In you’re are living in a hot climate, you’re pretty much fucked because infection sets in fast. These may take months to heal.
