things to remember as an artist because some people need to hear it (it’s me, i’m some people):

you do not need to complete everything you do. sometimes a sketch is okay on its own. sometimes a piece doesn’t need shading. sometimes it doesn’t even need color! stop thinking anything that isn’t colored and shaded with a pretty background is complete work. a sketch is complete work if you want it to be. 

try different styles. i know one particular style may be easy and comfortable to you, but branch out and try new ones. it’ll open more doors and possibilities for you. do a challenge where you draw the same thing in different styles and see what happens! 

even if you hate it, post it. often times our problem as artists is we see what we want in our heads and what we draw isn’t an exact copy of what we were thinking of. so we think it’s bad. but from an outsider’s pov, it might be absolutely perfect to them. because they don’t know what your idea was. they’re just seeing it as it is now. and they see nothing wrong with it. 

pick your own colors. it’s okay to pick from a palette, but make sure you do your own color exercises too. know what colors compliment each other. 

feel free to add to this!

Side note on this: all those college conservatives saying liberal professors are shutting them down because of their conservative ideas and refusing to hear otherwise? In my experience the “shut down” is just being asked to DEFEND their position for the first time and not accepting shitty half thought out “proofs” that fall apart on their own.

Derek Black, son of a Grand Wizad of the KKK, broke free of White Nationalism because of this very effect.

How are disabled and interracial illegal???

[anarchohellenism]

Interracial marriage was outlawed for the longest time, and disabled people lose government benefits when they get married so they cannot have reassurance that they will continue to LIVE if they get married.

Story time: my mom is white, dad is black. They’ve been together twenty four years, married for twenty three. When my parents were dating they did it on the low TO KEEP MY DAD SAFE.

My mom’s parents said “We don’t care who you love.” At that point she’d only ever brought home white guys. She brought my dad home-her mother called her a nigger lover and damned the relationship as much as possible. Her father grew around his prejudices after I was born but never apologized, just wasn’t a blatant fuck.

The day she introduced my father to her family was the last time she spoke to her mother for over twenty years. When I was getting sick and she called and asked her mother and grandmother if anyone in the family had anything strange happen similar what I was going through they told her “it’s because you married a black man. You made your bed, you lie in it.”

Cops pulled them over all the time and asked my mom IF SHE WAS OKAY AND IF SHE NEEDED HELP BECAUSE MY FATHER-A BLACK MAN-WAS DRIVING A 100 POUND WHITE WOMAN AROUND. HE WAS HARRASSED AND THREATED WITH ARREST.

My father ended up getting into a fight in self defence because some entitled hick decided he didn’t like seeing a black man and white woman in the bar together. Thankfully other patrons helped my father but he still couldn’t go to the er for his injuries. My mom patched him up and they were terrified the cops would take him away.

THEIR BEST FRIEND GOT LICENSED TO MARRY THEM SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY TIE THE KNOT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD AND CITED JIM CROW ERA LAW AS TO WHY.

When shopping with just me my father wouldn’t hold my hand if there was a group around. Why? I’m far lighter than him and people had stopped and asked him “whose child is that?” Or “little girl where’s your parents?” and were stunned when I grinned and pointed at my dad and proudly proclaimed “my daddy’s right here.” You know where else mixed kids couldn’t hold their parents hands? Apartheid South Africa. We live in fucking FLORIDA.

So yeah. Some history for you.

Also just so people know interracial couples still go through a lot of prejudice TODAY it’s not just older people who have experienced it and it’s definitely not over

how is it that i've spent 24 years on this earth without knowing who Woody Strode was?

[little-miss-rasputin-pageant]

for those who don't know Woody Strode was a Black American actor that was primarily active in the late 50s and 60s. his grandmother was Black Cherokee and his grandfather was Black Creek. he was a world-class decathlon and was culturally educated, majoring in history and culture, to the extent that in 1971 he said “I could walk into the White House with it now.” he served in the Air Force during World War II. he starred as the first Black lead in a mainstream cowboy movie in Sergeant Rutledge (1960). his first wife was Princess Luukialuana Kalaeloa, a distant relative of Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii, and they were married until her death. he was also an accomplished martial artist. oh, and Sheriff Woody from Toy Story was named after him.

[little-miss-rasputin-pageant]

i never wanna hear another word about John Wayne now that i know Woody Strode was a real person
