Strong words to use on a Resume

If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.

Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”

I hope this is helpful to you.

Now this is a great resume list of action words.  I love that it’s broken down by types of jobs.  Saving for future use.

Receding objects in perspective.

Have you ever been trying to draw tiles on a wall or on the floor in perspective, but notice that after you’ve drawn them, they don’t look like they’re all the same shape or size?  Well here’s a tutorial on how to fix that. Your picture probably looks like this, right?

Well, i’m here to tell you how to fix that…Let’s start out with your basics.

The gray line is the horizon line, and the black dot is your horizon line. These are essential for the first steps of perspective. Without these, your perspective may turn out wonky and just not flattering to the eyes. Right now we’ll work in One point perspective.

Now let’s pretend we’ll be drawing a hallway. Draw a vertical line where the edge of the wall is.

Now, from the tips of the bottom and top of your wall, you’re going to need to draw a line extending all the way to the vanishing point. If you’re working in photoshop you could either use the line tool, or shift+click. If traditional, you’ll need to use a ruler.

Now that we have the wall that’s in perspective, it’s time to draw the rest of the lines. here I’ve drawn the wall facing us that’s closest, the ceiling, the floor line, and the end of the hallway. ASSUMING that you are working in one point perspective, all vertical lines are straight and parallel to each other, and all horizontal lines are straight and parallel to each other. 

Now here I have erased the lines that extended beyond the back wall, and found the center point of the edge of the left wall. From there, you draw an extended line just as before towards your vanishing point.

now make a vertical line where your first “tile” is. 

now this may be a little hard to explain. Now you’re going to draw a line coming from the corner of the wall, through the corner where your line meets the tile you just drew, and all the way to the ground line. 

You see where these two lines meet? you’re going to draw a vertical line to the ceiling from here.

Like so! 

Now rinse and repeat! you should have perfectly even spaced tiles now! And if you have tiles on the ceiling

Just draw horizontal lines connecting to the vertical lines!

Now just erase anyhing you don’t need and…viola! Perfect tiles in perspective!! I hope this helps!! :D

Hello! Would you mind doing an example of not using filter words in a first person point of view? While I know that you can just switch out the pronouns for I/me/my, I just want to see it in action and when you should (and shouldn't) use the filter words. Thank you!

Hi there! I would love to! I think I’ll start out with an example with filter words and then cut out the filter words to show you the difference.

For those of you who haven’t seen my post on Filter Words.

Now, for the example:

I felt a hand tap my shoulder as I realized I had made a huge mistake. I knew the consequences would be unsettling, but I had no other choice. I saw the light of my desk lamp bounce off of the officer’s badge before I had even turned around. It seemed like I always found my way into trouble.

It was the first thing off the top of my head, so it’s a bit rough sounding….

Now for without filter words (And a bit of revision):

A hand tapped my shoulder as it dawned on me: I had just made a huge mistake. The consequences would be unsettling if I didn’t get out of this mess, but I had no other choice. The light of my desk lamp bounced off of the officer’s badge. I always found my way into trouble.

By taking out filter words, you get right to the point.

I’d also like to add a few more notes that I didn’t have the chance to post previously.

Some Examples of Filtering:

I heard a noise in the hallway.

She felt embarrassed when she tripped.

I saw a light bouncing through the trees.

I tasted the sour tang of raspberries bursting on my tongue.

He smelled his teammate’s BO wafting through the locker room.

She remembered dancing at his wedding.

I think people should be kinder to one another.

How can you apply this?

Read your work to see how many of these filtering words you might be leaning on. Microsoft Word has a great Find and Highlight feature that I love to use when I’m editing. See how you can get rid of these filtering words and take your sentences to the next level by making stronger word choices. Take the above examples, and see how they can be reworked.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I heard a noise in the hallway.

DESCRIBE THE SOUND: Heels tapped a staccato rhythm in the hallway.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: She felt embarrassed after she tripped.

DESCRIBE WHAT THE FEELING LOOKS LIKE: Her cheeks flushed and her shoulders hunched after she tripped.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I saw a light bouncing through the trees.

DESCRIBE THE SIGHT: A light bounced through the trees.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I tasted the sour tang of raspberries bursting on my tongue.

DESCRIBE THE TASTE: The sour tang of raspberries burst on my tongue.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: He smelled his teammate’s BO wafting through the locker room.

DESCRIBE THE SMELL: His teammate’s BO wafted through the locker room.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: She remembered dancing at his wedding.

DESCRIBE THE MEMORY: She had danced at his wedding.

FILTERING EXAMPLE: I think people should be kinder to one another.

DESCRIBE THE THOUGHT: People should be kinder to one another.

See what a difference it makes when you get rid of the filter? It’s simply not necessary to use them. By ditching them, you avoid “telling,” your voice is more active, and your pacing is helped along.

The above list is not comprehensive as there are many examples of filtering words. The idea is to be aware of the concept so that you can recognize instances of it happening in your work. Be aware of where you want to place the energy and power in your sentences. Let your observations flow through your characters with immediacy.

Ok, sorry for the lengthy answer, I know you just wanted an example…. sorry!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask at my ask box

[thewinterotter]

THIS IS SO GREAT. I dind’t even know there was a term for this (I should have figured, right, because writers have words for everything), but it’s one of those things that being aware when you’re doing it (and editing it right the fuck out) will improve your writing SO MUCH. Removing the filtering helps to draw your readers more intimately into the action of your story, and as the text above says, adds power and immediacy to every sentence. THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TIP I WANT TO SCREAM ABOUT IT.

How to other eye

[cobalt-wyvern]

pygmygiantsquid:

roryscribbles:

ALRIGHT, so, I know a lot of people have trouble making eyes match. Yesterday I found out a way to make it significantly easier! Here’s a small guide.

Well, first of all, you have your face. mark where the eyes should be on it.

Then mark the corners of the eyes and go over the middle again, to make the next step easier

Alright, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but draw this shape, trying to make it as symmetrical as you can.

Draw the eyes using that shape as a guide and TA-DA! They match! For different eye shapes you tweak the angle of the two guide lines.

And it also helps with angles where the size and shape of the eye is distorted, you just put it in perspective.

I think the theory behind it is that the thing that makes it hard to make the eyes match is the angle of the corners, and this type of guideline helps make them even, which makes the eyes look symmetrical. Welp, here it is! I hope it helps someone!

NO BUT HOW ABOUT WE GIVE ACTUALLY HELPFUL ADVICE/CRITIQUE WHEN SOMEONE’S FAN ART OF A CHARACTER SEEMS “WHITEWASHED” INSTEAD OF SHITTING ON IT AND TRYING TO MAKE THE ARTIST OUT TO BE AWFUL AND RACIST

BECAUSE THE LATTER DOESN’T HELP THE ARTIST DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS IN BETTER REPRESENTING DARKER-SKINNED CHARACTERS IT JUST MAKES THEM SCARED TO POST THEIR ART AT ALL

I wanna add on to this by saying I am scared to draw POC characters.

There’s no real tutorials on different features, and when I find a reference I’m terrified that I’m going to make them look too stereotypical.

Even trying to do the color work for my dad’s skin (dark Latino) makes me nervous because 1) there’s very little information on how to make the skin tone look like something other than burnt Sienna orange, and 2) at what point does a race study look offensive?

I wanted to make a villain in an old RP dark skinned, but I was afraid that making a Villain dark would be racist.

As someone who draws and paints digitally, I NEED this feed back. I’m not trying to be offensive, and I’m not going to argue with constructive criticism , so please, PLEASE, offer advice to people on drawing PoC because there is a horrible lack of instruction out there.

HELLO FRIENDS! A buddy of mind directed me to this post.

As someone who has lived with this same fear I want you to know that it’s normal for a lot of folks. I actually had this fear before Tumblr. It’s not something that sprung up from the internet only.

Steven Universe is actually the show that opened me up more to different ways of expressing a characters race presentation (I was still a bit timid about it before) and I’m very, very, very grateful for that. It’s also how I ended up drawing this little cutie:

Now, moving along, let me hand ya’ll some tutorials to see if they’ll help you out a bit.

First up is my all time fave skin tutorial. I love this one because of the range and the palettes. Part 1 Part 2 Supplemental Color Chart

A Tutorial for all kinds of hair! Part 1 

Have a chart of 14 different Asian eye shapes.

A tutorial on dreadlocks.

Littlefroggies has a couple of lovely brush sets for Manga Studio 5 that depict afro textured hair as well as braids. 

Draw from life. Look at references images and try to emulate how people look.

Celebrities categorized by ethnicity. This can be useful to you for reference.

And some more faces. And more faces. And more faces. Here’s a resource list.

Also mulattafury covers a really, really good aspect of this in this ask here. Remember that you’re drawing a person and people come in a wide, wide variety of forms, colors, shapes and sizes. There is no cookie cutter mold for race. The recent Blackout days are amazing proof of this. Look at the variety! Appreciate how beautiful human beings are!

Want more “real” people instead of celebrities or models to work from? OH MAN DO I HAVE THE TUMBLR BLOG FOR YOU. Now on first loading it as of right now you will see a lot of pale folks. Scroll down though. You’ll see more variety as you go through. See?

Also please remember that darker skinned folks can have lighter eyes! And that not all people that ID as a race that you would normally think of as having darker skin have dark skin. Remember, variety is endless!

There are so, so, so many resources out there! It just takes a bit of digging to find them.

Can I guarantee that you will NEVER be called racist for drawing people that are not white? No. But generally? You’re going to be called out as racist more if you only draw people that are white.

Something interesting to me is that folks that told me that my work could be seen as racist in the past? Were all white people. And I’m not even talking about drawing racial stereotypes. I’m talking about just having a dark skinned character. For some reason, the mere act of drawing someone who was not white seemed to make them think that it was racist. I had a customer give me a blank slate for drawing characters once. One of them was black. They asked me to change it to “avoid the race issue”. Which…isn’t how that works.

Try things. Practice. Draw stuff. And hell, put in a disclaimer, make a note, tell people “I am still learning, if something seems off please tell me! I’ll work to fix it!” If you tell people that you’re trying? They’re generally more than happy to help and will understand that it’s not intentional.

Focus on drawing people, not race. Focus on how this models lip does that thing or how their nose curves just so. Think about how you can simplify and apply it. Generally you’re not going to end up with gross racial caricatures. You know why? Because most gross racial caricatures? Don’t even look like real people. Let’s look at Looney Tunes for a sec:

I showed this to one of my friends who is younger and she said “Is that supposed to be a person?” Racist caricatures really blow shit way horribly out of proportion.

When it comes to the white washing aspect? I have two big suggestions to avoid that. 1) COLOR CHECK. If you are drawing someone or you are drawing a character and they are dark skinned? Check multiple image sources for the character to make sure you have the skin tone correct. That’s all you gotta do. Make sure it’s the right color. If you’re working from a real person’s photo I suggest choosing a mid tone from their face to start with. Also keep your reference image handy. 2) If you’re doing a character yourself? Consider how dark you would like this character to be. Have you tried making a darker skinned character? Why not? Try it out and see how it goes. (I’m not saying that you HAVE to make dark skinned characters but consider it in your process. You have a whole box of crayons to color with, why do you keep using the same one?) Also if you make characters treat them like people, not stereotypes.

That’s pretty much all I got on the matter. Remember, if you fuck up sometimes? That’s okay. It’s how you react that defines you. There was a really, really popular artist (shoomlah here on tumblr) who was doing historically accurate Disney princesses awhile back that misrepresented Pocahontas. Folks called her out on it and she acknowledged she made a mistake and she actually redid the piece, getting help from folks in the know to make it more accurate. Here are the original and more accurate versions. She’s stated that this incident made her a more thoughtful artist.

So there you go! Refs, tuts, thoughts, and advice! Enjoy!

Ran this by one of my buddies, captain-naro and he added this:

“I’ve noticed that drawing POC is something that is going against the norm a little bit. And it seems to be less normal to have a POC existing in an art piece than it is to have a POC existing in the world. When there are many.”

“It only becomes a race issue when you portray them in a way that sparks a race issue”

“Honestly what it seems like to me is. Everyone has an ideal look for their character whether it is because they want that character to look the most attractive or whatever and that ideal is usually a white person.Thanks to Tumblr and progression being a thing it is not as bad as it was but it still is there and blatant to me. To most people, white people are the most appealing thing to draw for a protagonist or anything like that whereas a black character would fill the role of a background character or an enemy and pretty much any other race would be some other kind of “exotic” trope or something. But that’s probably going more into story writing and not art.”

Going to share this over here as well because I wrote up a huge advice and resource thing in it and maybe some of my followers here can use it too.

How to Design a Town Map - Fantastic Maps

Creating city maps can be hard. Here's four quick steps I use to design believable town and city maps.

[cobalt-wyvern]

patchpaws:

I found this very useful. Sometimes it’s great to have a visual aid of the layout of the settlements, towns or cities where your stories develop. It’s good to have an idea of the distance between places and their position within the town; this way, it might be easier to describe the routes your characters travel, noting buildings that might be relevant to the story later or relating other characters to certain areas of a city.

Heart attacks symptoms are different for women. I recently learned this. 

Everyone should know these things.

thanks to mainstream media and being unable to show breasts on TV, way too few people know about female signs of cardiac distress, and impending heart attacks. they only know about the “pain in the left arm” male symptom.

i had all these symptoms once and they sent me right to hospital

it was scary bc i didnt know these were the symptoms for female heart issues

Please, please, PLEASE, reblog this. i don’t know if I did save or called false alarm, with my boss’ life tonight. I felt I was being a bit paranoid, overreacting, but I told Mirage my thoughts and he, after reading over the article I showed him, immediately sprung into action and then shooed her off to the hospital. I don’t know if I did or not, but I knew she’d been super stressed. She’d off-handedly commented on her arm tingling and I asked her if she felt queasy on a hunch. I went to look at the symptoms and we went from there.

Holy shit, I didn’t even think the symptoms would be different between men and women. This is so hugely important and I don’t understand why we aren’t taught this. 

One of the other symptoms that doesn’t get talked about , especially in women, is a “feeling of impending doom”. I am not even kidding, that is a legitimate diagnostic criteria. Please - if you are feeling any of these symptoms and a sudden onset of “Holy shit the world is ending” do not let anyone tell you it’s “just nerves” or “just heartburn” or something.

draw whomever you get

don’t worry about making it super-accurate, just focus on the characteristic parts of the face and have fun

the outcome might not look like the ref, but it will be different and more varied than faces you draw out of your head, an dprobably pretty rad on its own right!

feel free to reblog with your drawing, if you want!

You can also use this: http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/face-expression-practice/

It’s a gesture website, which means you can chose to do faces of whatever gender and whatever expression; bodies, clothed or not, of whatever gender; and you can do animals, and hands and feet! You have to set a time limit (or choose class mode which I love), but you can pause, and its random!!
