Roses without thorns Wings without horns Skin stained in color Still, I grow duller

I've painted a lot of glass wings, and now I want to explore all the possibilities with stained glass wings. What's your favorite type of stained glass? I love nature so anything botanical or starry would be my fav.

The 3 hours long process videos will be DMed on my Patreon on August 5th

My animation process (in a GIF!)

So you've learned the 12 principles of animation but don't know where to actually apply them? Fear not!! For here is my step-by-step process, very very condensed, into one singular giant GIF.

Hope it helps!

Hi! Do you know about PureRef? It's a software I just discovered that allows you to create and use ref images boards in a very intuitive way (and that you can also get for free or how little you can pay). As someone who usually needs an awful lot of refs before drawing anything (bc aphantasia) I can already tell this is going to save me so much time! I wanted to share the info because many others may find it useful as well!!

yes! I literally love this app and recommend it to everyone!

It's insane it's pay what you can, so if you are able to, support the devs who made a great tool.

PureRef, the simple reference image viewer.

Background & Movement in TV 2

Using a static background you can also imitate a camera tilt to change perspectives. This is a background using somewhat simple perspective to take an eye level shot and turn it into an upshot. 

Using this background, character A can run towards eye level cam, leap and come down closer to cam and kick character B, then stand up in an upshot. 

This is really basic cinematography and the basics can help make a board really work and saves the background designers from having to do too many bgs in a short amount of time.

So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.

Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?

They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.

anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

posted on tweeter as well but ill try here, any other illustrators have experience with looking for an agent? ive got a book that lists a ton of childrens book literary agents, but isnt there somewhere that lists only illustrator representation? these kids book literary agents mainly want illustrators with manuscripts, which i dont have. i just wanna illustrate book covers but the big dogs wont even look at you without representation

[hihereami]

You might wanna look at the resources other illustrators have put out!

Agents for Illustrators is one of them

Literary Agents of Color (both illustrators/writers)

Literary Agents of Color

We are a directory devoted to listing and supporting literary agents of color in publishing, a resource for writers and illustrators to use

And here's a general guide on what's an agent, if it's convenient or not

Illustration agents - The Illustrators Guide

What can illustration agents do for you, and what can't they do? How do you choose an agent and how do you work together as a team?

As an extra resource, here's the resource database made by the Third Eye Collective -- a collective focused on resources and aid to Global South Artists who work for North America and Europe
