When your own OC becomes your blorbo it is both glorious and torturous

[a-lonely-dunadan]

Having your own OC as your Blorbo is great because you will never have to see a bad Fannon brainrot take or awful but inexplicably popular ship involving them, but also I Have To Do Everything Myself Around Here Augh

Take some writing encouragement

Your story matters. YOU matter.

The writing road is long but worth it. We're all rooting for you. Enjoy the trip

You cannot be replaced by a machine no matter how hard they try

Your story deserves to be told, and you are the best person to tell it

You are an artist no matter what you write, or if you share it

Your inner critic is lying. Your art is fine. Ignore it and keep going

It's okay to take a break. Remember to breathe, and refill your creative well

You stories, your art, have value no matter what it is.

Someone needs to read your story.

It's okay to be scared. Write your story anyway.

Everyone gets rusty when they don't write for a while. Don't let that stop you

It's okay to have fun with your art. You're supposed to! Art is awesome that way

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
