LMAO YOUR TAGS ON THAT "ENEMIES TO GLOVERS" POST I'm sorry but u bringing klance into it immediately made me think of lance pranking Keith by replacing his fingerless gloves with just a pile of loose glove fingers. Like he just cuts the fingers off some gloves, sneaks into Keith's room at night, and replaces Keith's gloves where they sit on his night stand with the loose glove fingers. And plays dumb when Keith comes out of his room the next day hollering about it

OKAY WAIT THIS IS SO FUNNY KSJDKSK cause imagine the confrontation with the rest of the team there too just living for the drama like

keith: LANCE!! what did you do to my gloves??

lance, playing dumb: i didn't know you had gloves

pidge, already eating popcorn: what did lance do now?

keith: he took my fucking gloves and replaced them with these! *shows them the cut off fingers*

hunk, through laughter: oh, man - he replaced your fingerless gloves with gloveless fingers

lance: while that is, admittedly, comedic genius, you have absolutely no proof that this was me and i resent being automatically blamed. even if it does mean i get credit where it's due

and then keith is literally about to kill lance when shiro walks in and keith is like THANK GOD someone with common sense. but when he shows shiro the gloveless fingers with a "look what lance did to my gloves", his brother literally just looks at them, shrugs, and goes "not much difference, honestly." and keith's jaw drops in absolute betrayal as lance dissolves in laughter

also im just thinking about the logistics of this and the idea of lance going out of his way to somehow find a pair of gloves in the depths of space that are made of a similar material to keith's and the fact that through cutting the fingers off of them to prank keith he would have inadvertently acquired his own pair of fingerless gloves which he does not really know what to do with

How to do “extra” facial expressions!

Drawing basic facial expressions is not the hardest. Most people can draw a sad face, a happy face, angry etc., but making more multidimensional expressions is more of a challenge. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how I draw facial expressions, (specifically “angsty ones”) telling me that they are very dramatic and well… expressive! And there are actually only a few things I think about when I draw faces that take them to the next level, so I thought i’d illustrate them all here!

SUPER IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE WE START: Look at your own face when you draw faces. Even making the face when you are drawing (you don’t even have to look at it), will give you some sense of how the face muscles pull and where things fold and stretch, because you can feel it. You are the best reference when it comes to facial expressions!

Angles

Draw the head in an angle that matches the expressions you want to make. It is not a requirement, but is going to add to the effect.

Symmetry vs asymmetry

A face is rarely symmetric. Unless the face the character is making is 100 % relaxed or even dissociating, the eyebrows, mouth and facial muscles will have different placements of their respective side. This image shows the dramatic impact asymmetry has on a face:

That’s the difference between a smile and a smirk!

The first one’s like “oh yeah?” and the second is like “oH YEAH??”

The “balloon squishing principle”

This is something I did subconsciously, and I didn’t know about until I made this tutorial. And this principle goes hand in hand with an asymmetric face. Basically, if you squish one part of the face, you need to even out the empty space by “inflating” the other part of the face so that it doesn’t appear shrunken. The picture hopefully explains it:

Teeth

Don’t forget to add the gum when the mouth is open to its full potential!

Squinting and folding

Adding folds around the eyes when a character is squinting makes a HUGE difference. It makes a smile more genuine and a growl more intimidating. Adding folds to the face in general makes your characters more lifelike and ‘visually relatable’. Like, they look human, and less plastic or fake.

and so on..

Pupils and irises

The placement of the iris and pupil in relation to the eyelids is very important! The less of the white you see, the more relaxed the character is.

And then of course eyebrows and eyes go hand in hand!

Gestures, spitting, sweating…

Adding more elements than just a face is key to making the character actually look like they are feeling what you want them to feel. Just the tiniest sweat drop adds to their anxiety, spitting adds frustration to their rage, slouching shoulders, waving hands, a double chin, extreme angles, the list goes on! Add whatever and see what kind of impact it makes! Does it do the trick? Great! Add it!

Over exaggeration!!

Remember that you can almost always exaggerate more. Don’t be afraid to do draw “too much” because you’re just experimenting. See what works and what doesn’t. What do you like to exaggerate?

Now that you know some theory, it’s time to practice!

Practicing!!

The 25 Essential Expressions (a classic! I’ve done it multiple times)

And the one I do when I’m bored:

Fill a page with circles and fill them in with different expressions. Try and exaggerate as much as you can!

This is mostly for experimenting. They are quicker to draw than complete faces, but the same rules should apply!

And that’s about it!

I don’t know if I covered everything in this tutorial, since some things might be obvious for me, and this post perhaps only scratches the surface. So feel free to send me a message if you want an explanation about something more in depth! Thank you for reading! And now DRAW!!! ✨🎨

A Mega Ultra jacksepticeye inspirational quotes compilation!

I hope these help you as much as they have helped and still help me! @therealjacksepticeye

Life’s full of secrets. You just gotta go looking for them.

It doesn’t matter if your passion is arranging shoes or something like that, whatever you enjoy doing, whatever makes you happy, whatever you feel like gives you that drive to get up the morning and you feel like you really want to do something…that- it’s so important that you find that in your life.

Doing what is easiest and simplest is not always a good idea. Sometimes it’s the hardest stuff that is the best stuff to do.

No matter what thing you’re doing, no matter what job you’re doing, no matter how much you love it, it’s not easy and simple 100% of the time.

As long as you’re writing from your heart and writing honestly, that’s art and no one should ever judge you for that.

Learn from your weaknesses and fears, embrace them. Then nobody will be able to use them.

If you do have something individual in you to definitely pursue that and make it your own thing but there’s no shame in also conforming and fitting in. ‘Cause some people don’t have the confidence to be an individual, some people don’t have the confidence to go out there on a limb and be that weird, quirky, unique thing. Sometimes people are happiest just when they’re fitting in and there’s nothing wrong with that. I would lean more on expressing your individuality more, though.

You can wait all you want for great things to happen, but why not try to make them happen right now because none of us know what’s going to happen tomorrow.

I have no idea what we’re doing or why we’re here, but I’m glad that you’re with me. Glad that YOU’re with me too. I don’t wanna go on this trip alone.

Everything will be alright maybe not today but eventually!

If your out there and your feeling discriminated, if your feeling alone, if your feeling like there’s absolutely nowhere else to turn there absolutely is! There’s always somewhere to turn. There’s always someone that’s willing to listen. There’s always somebody who’s going through the same thing you’re going through. It just takes time to be able to find them, and to be able to open up. So just hang in there and be strong, and keep up the good fight, because bright days are ahead. It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow. It may not be next week, but brighter days are coming and they will happen, and you’ll be happier than you’ve ever been before because of that, because of that patience. I know it’s hard, I know there’s a struggle there. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like to go through that. But I believe in you!

You should never ever feel bad being who you are, at the cost of upsetting other people. You should be allowed to be who you are, who you want to be, to be safe and comfortable in your own skin, and not feel attacked in that.

Go out there, enjoy yourself, make the most of what you have because none of us know how long we have on this plane of existence, none of us know what lies beyond this; this state of being; a lot of us wish for things that are beyond this, a lot of us are waiting for that, but we don’t know and because we don’t know, i say that, that makes trying worth it right now. You can wait all you want for great things to happen, but why not to try to make them happen right now, because none of us know whats going to happen tomorrow. So, try your best right now and what you have in this situation that you’re in at this moment in time, you don’t have to do amazing things, but as long as you’re trying your best to make the most of it then that’s a success in my mind, so just don’t take anything for granted.

All you need is a strong heart and a good attitude and you will get anywhere in life.

We’re all human and flaws come out every now and then but, if you want to be positive in your day, if you want to be positive in your life, in your job, try and celebrate the little things. If you do something that’s just like, nothing. If you write down your to-do-list for the day celebrate that. Be happy in what you do, be proud of the little things that you do each day, I think…You just kinda have to go out there and just do it. You have to go out there and grab life while you can. Go out there and make the most of the time that you have. Cause you only get one trip around on this big wheel of life, you don’t get a do-over. You don’t get to wait around for the good things to happen. You have to make the good things for yourself happen now. You have to try and be as happy as you can be in the scenario that you’re in. Not always possible, some people have it very very hard to be happy, some people are in completely terrible and rough, dire situations and I very much sympathize with that and that’s- again, there’s a lot more nuance to this. It’s not just as simple as being “Go out there and be happy”. There’s a lot more to life than just being positive, but if I can motivate people or give some sort of semblance of advice towards that kind of aspect, then I will try my best. But just know that it’s okay if you’re not positive all the time. It just means that you’re HUMAN.

Life is all about taking steps. You gotta go a tiny bit, one bit at a time. You can’t do life all in one go.

Everyone changes, that’s just a fact of life. No matter what you do, change is gonna happen. The thing is whether you change for the better or the worst. It’s not a thing of whether you’re gonna change or you’re not gonna change, that’s just not the way it works. That’s not the way the world works. It’s not black or white like that, it’s always a case of whether you’re gonna change for the better or the worse or how you change as a person.

Just hang in there, better days are ahead.

If you can’t find any inspiration, become it.

Try new things, you might impress yourself.

Time will progress, time will always go on.

Any of the problems or regrets that I might have, it’s molded me into the character I am right now, you shouldn’t be ashamed of your past, you should help it motivate you into a better future.

Earn your success, don’t expect it to be given.

Life’s not all about getting medals. Life is about the journey and the experience and the story you have to tell at the end of it.

You may not think you mean a lot but you really do.

Go out there and show the world who’s boss!

I hope I can be here. As a voice, as a friend while playing video games for you. If you feel depressed or lonely or anything like that Jack is here!

Life will try and bring you down, it’ll harpoon you through the ass, but you gotta keep on movin’ and keep on bossin!

People are just gonna hate you for really stupid reasons sometimes. And you just gotta power through it. You just gotta brush it off. Be yourself. Be happy with who you are. And stop trying to please everybody else. Just be happy. Don’t take the haters seriously.

Go out there and find what drives you, what motivates you, find what your true passion is and just throw yourself at it. It might not work at first and you might feel like it’s going to fail or it’s too much to take on but just make a start somewhere. If you want change to happen, make a start and do it. I believe in you.

I get that change is scary for a lot of people, and they’re used to seeing something the same way for a long time but rest assured I’m still the same person. No matter what I do, no matter where I go, no matter what I dress as, look like, I’m surrounded by, I’m still gonna be the same person, or at least I’m gonna try to be. I’m still always gonna be- gonna try to be the best person I can be for myself and for you!

So if you’re in that scenario and you feel like your thoughts are just getting worse and worse and you feel like the end is here, it’s not the end. There is always more joy to be had in life. It may feel like it’s the end; it may feel like the worst possible scenario you could be in, and that’s just your entire world at that moment, but all it takes is a moment of clarity to turn that moment of turmoil into a moment of enlightenment. That time might reveal more to you. That after that you might realize to yourself that life IS worth living. That it IS worth going on. That what you’re going through is not the worst thing that could happen to you at that time. And I truly believe that anybody can get through anything they’re going through. If you’re having a really hard time, I believe that you can get through it. I don’t believe that that’s the be all and end of all of everything. It might not immediately get better, and life never does immediately get better. Life is one of those things that’s worth fighting for. Because the great times do come. And I really believe that there’s great times out there for everybody, that everybody has their moment, their shining time. And it’s not just a case of getting that moment, and then'that’s it.’ There’s plenty of moments to be had, and your moment is right around the corner! Believe that! And hang in there, and trust in yourself to get there. I believe in you! And I know plenty other people believe in you as well so just hold on and keep on fighting that good fight. And if you feel like you’re just stuck in a rut somewhere, anything can happen on a day to day basis…. life’s weird, but life is fantastic.

For the world is yours, and you can do whatever you want. As long as you put your mind to it, anything is possible. So go out there, and get what you need!

If I can make one person laugh or smile then I consider what I do to be a success.

It’s not about the final product, it’s about the journey, the experience, the thrill of putting something together saying, ‘yes! I did this!’

Go beyond your limits, go beyond whatever it is you think you’re capable of.

Sometimes you gotta have downs to have ups. It’s not always gonna be fucking rainbows and sunshine all the time. That just doesn’t work. That isn’t life. Life is gonna kick you in the hoochies every now and then, you just gotta go ‘Hey that hurt! That made me cry. But I’m gonna get up stronger from that and not get kicked in the hoochies again!

If you’re going through absolute sadness you definitely, you 100% have the capability of turning that around and going through absolute joy.

Like, sadness helps you experience the good times as well. How do you know what’s good if you don’t know what’s truly bad? You have to have some of the dark times to experience the light every now and then.

Please keep your chin up, you may not feel it but you are a unique beautiful individual in your own way.

You’re never alone.

Sometimes it’s good to take a deeper look at yourself and see the flaws so you can work on them and become a better person.
