resource for procrastination

if you’re anything like me, working on a computer is a dangerous thing. i’ll get distracted by everything - that one email i should respond to, all the pictures of my dog, tumblr, and so on. I recently discovered an amazing resource to stop that.

it’s called writer’s block, and is free to download! 

when you open it, it shows this screen, where you can choose either a time limit or word goal

then when you start, it opens a document that fills the entire screen like this

and you cannot quit the app or open anything else until your word/time quota is filled. i just wrote half of my english speech that i’ve been putting off all morning, and it took only 20 minutes!

so yup, it’s called writer’s block and is free for both mac and windows. enjoy!

Lip tutorial for anon! 

Additional info: I find lips a pretty important defining feature when trying to draw people so that they are recognizable, so I’ve learned to really pay attention to their unique mouth shapes! However, since lips are usually quite small on the scale of a full drawing, I don’t use too much detail or contrast on them or they start to distract from other parts of the painting. This is usually the level of detail I stop at (thanks to the scaling trick! :D) since it implies plenty of detail from a distance.

I think I explained my thoughts pretty well, but if you do want more detail (ex for a close up rendering or hyper-realism) check out these other resources below!

Handwriting Demo Pt. 2

I got a few requests to write down the alphabet in my “fancy writing” (and I promised another anon user that I would do this sometime this week)

I unfortunately don’t have much time (essay to write!!!), so I’ve quickly whipped up a short demo/really basic tutorial on 3 of the fonts I use the most.

(I apologise that the writing isn’t perfect; I was in a rush :(( Maybe I’ll do a more comprehensive tutorial later if people ask me to.)

Inbox me if you have any questions :)
