Plain Jeans for the Sims 4

After so many Packs, I’m surprised we still haven’t got some new plain, non-cropped, jeans for the guys. I always end-up using the same basic jeans I created long ago!

I wanted some new options, that’s why I created these ones, using textures of various woman jeans from Discover University as a base. I included 30 color options, so you can use them with many different outfits.

Hope you will enjoy them too!

EDIT 14/07/2020: I added a rolled-up version of these jeans, download them using the link bellow.

I made a rolled-up version of these jeans, perfect for the summer, or if you want to wear them with boots ! I added a link in the original post.

Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.

It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.

You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.

[wolveswithhats]

I don’t think a lot of people know that it’s not cheating. I recall seeing so many piece of art called out because they referenced a pose, someone recognized it, and then proceeded to shame them for it. There’s this belief, both by creators and the audience, that artists should just be able to translate the ideas from their head to paper, and if they don’t, it’s plagiarism, or not true originality (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing).

I myself didn’t start using references until very recently, because even I was under the impression that it was frowned upon. And that belief has seriously crippled and stalled my ability to improve as an artist.

[priderising]

As a restarting artist, I can confirm. I just never knew. I thought you were just supposed to know how to draw the body correctly and if you didn’t you had no talent.

[reapergrellsutcliff]

(( I am going to say this again, loud and clear for everyone:

USING REFERENCES FOR ART IS NOT ‘CHEATING’!!!

If you can draw/paint without references, great!  But if you need to use them, and feel that your art can be bettered by using references, please, use them!  This is one of the biggest tips I can give to artists, is USE REFERENCES! 

Anyone who would dare to attack someone for using references after ‘recognizing a pose’ is a dipshit, who doesn’t know a thing about art.

Do you know who else used references for their art?

Norman Rockwell

Alphonse Mucha

Gustav Klimt

Toulouse Lautrec

Vincent Van Gogh

Paul Gauguin

Edgar Degas

Gil Elvgren

Frida Kahlo

Pablo Picasso

Disney Studios

And thousands of others!  So, artists! Go forth, and use references!!! ))

[armellin]

What do you think artists do when they ask someone to stand infron of them for 6 hours and then they draw this person. Do they cheat? Or when they place a still life and then paint it, cheating again? LOL

[euclase]

#literally one of the biggest fears I have #is for some douchefuck to dig out my reference #and point at it and say that I’m not a real artist #I don’t want you to dig out my references to prove that I didn’t make up a realistic picture out of fucking thin air #that’s not how art works #but especially on this site it happens CONSTANTLY #it’s so fucking scary #when people who’ve never touched a pen in their lives think they’re qualified to judge you #and ‘reveal’ how you’ve ‘scammed’ people

Soooo. I made this post originally on my personal blog (I’m eliciaforever), and it was nothing more than a little rant about a specific incident that I deleted after five minutes. But before I could delete it, it took the hell off on me, and now it has all these notes. And LOTS OF AMAZING INPUT.

And I just wanted to add in response to the above tags in particular, that shaming people for using references is something that happens to so many of us SO OFTEN. It doesn’t matter how skilled you are. People think art is supposed to be magical or whatever, and anything else is a crime. The reality of course is that art is a thousand times more deliberate than a lot of people think it is.

So yeah. Good info to pass along. Use references, kids. <3

[lindblut]

Reblogging because I think it’s important especially for young artists to gain the confidence to use references.

Seriously, references are esssential! Use them!

[abessinier]

This is so. very. important.

It’s such a weird believe that you have to construct EVERYTHING you draw! Constructing a pose is or should be SUPER ADVANCED SHIT because how the fuck are you even supposed to know how light and shadows work or what it looks like when someone lifts their arm in a certain angle if you never looked at it?!

i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

[red3blog]

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

bruce banner has 7 phds? thats so excessive.. if i met someone with 7 phds i would honestly just be like wtf is wrong with you? its not even the fact that it would take so much time and effort to get them its that there is literally no situation where 7 phds is necessary. thats never gonna happen. hes honestly gotta be so stupid to think for some reason he needs 7 phds.

[flightsofwonder]

this reads like a bitter scientist who is very jealous of dr bruce banner

[esotericslayer-deactivated20210]

this was ghostwritten by hank pym

[mindfulwrath]

Bruce Banner was broke as shit but really good at getting graduate assistantships/scholarships (less good at getting Real World Jobs) so he just went from PhD to PhD for like a decade, just churning out dissertations while weeping and muttering under his breath “i have no real-world skills i have no real-world skills i hAVE NO REAL WORLD SKILLS AAAAAAAHHH”

[rudescience]

I guess that’s why he has anger issues. I can understand what so many years in academia has done to Dr. Banner.

[ms-silver]

29. Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.

Wooooooo! Fanart! This one’s a bit different for me since I normally don’t draw fanart for books…

But anyways! I was actually looking forward to this one, lol… I had this idea for a drawing for quite some time, and was saving it for the art challenge. I’m quite happy with how this turned out, ahaha!

And since I’m not supposed to tell you the heck this is from, I’ll leave the answer to that in the tags. d=

not to be “that person who stares at gifs and makes a weird whining noise in the back of their throat all day” but

I’m kinda suffering

A LOT

So here’s some gifs to drag you all down with me

You know if you feel like watching Dean quietly implode via his hand on a loop all day

[elizabethrobertajones]

I hate them

so fucking much

fuck you Dean do you see this side by side of how fucking clingy you are

like fuck them 

or better yet go fucking get a room

[elizabethrobertajones]

I mean in the grand scheme Dean made Cas a mixtape so I can’t even be bothered to gif this myself but I figured I should come back here because they won’t fucking stop

(x)

Please pay particular attention to the way their hands join thumb to finger as if completing a loop, a sort of symmetry in their touch, and the way Dean slows his hand and stops pulling it away as Cas’s hand reaches for him so their fingers and thumbs can connect so neatly

(And how Cas is already behaving way off usual but Dean still trusts him to DO this)

And and and so soon after Kelly took Cas’s hand to transfer the power to him and THAT was visually and obviously creating a connection and a power that flowed through touch

And I’m getting meta here on the post that was just my “presented without explanation but a lot of swearing” venting box but ARGH.

[elizabethrobertajones]

*grumble grumble grumble*

[elizabethrobertajones]

They’re… cartoons… and they won’t… STOP this fuckery.
