truly a poetic end to my 2023 sketchbook
very accurate depiction
Happy #MarioDay everyone!
This is a nice video showing an blind/invisible stitch, which is quite useful for repairing tears or finishing something (ex. cushion).
Also, that extra step for putting back the seam is really nice.
This is the first use of my art degree
You can only reblog this today.
I missed my chance last year. Not gonna let it happen again

For smileys!
I can’t post any of my own artwork today, so this will have to do! Happy Mario day y'all!! :DD
Launching my first art blogs with a small comic based on the amazing words of Ursula K. Le Guin!
Thought it might be nice to give an example of what I'm planning to do with this blog, so here we go, with Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel.
[I.D. A screen shot from Hazbin Hotel of Lucifer playing a golden violin with fancy decorative patterns and frowning aggressively. The violin is held in front of his chin, over his bowtie. It has the chin rest on the left side of the tailpiece, indicating that it is a right-handed violin. Lucifer holds the bow with a grip that resembles a partially closed fist. End I.D.]
In all honesty, properly animating a character playing a violin can be very difficult, especially in a style that has four fingers rather than five. That said, there is one major flaw in this picture that immediately comes to mind:
The violin is on the wrong side.
Given that the chin rest (drawn as an orangey-red shape) is on the left of the strings, it's a right-handed violin, meant to be played with the instrument on the left shoulder and the bow in the right hand. Given that there are, in fact, left-handed violins, there's no reason for him to be playing a right-handed one.
(It's also worth pointing out that even if Lucifer is left-handed, he wouldn't necessarily need a left-handed violin. It's a common assumption that lefties need different instruments but it's not actually the case.)
A few other details:
his bow hand is just kinda bad. He's not holding the bow at the frog (its base, essentially) and he's got his thumb on the bow hair (not great for the bow hair or for actually playing).
He also seems to possibly be tilting the bow back towards his face, based on the angle its drawn at, which isn't good technique either.
He isn't using his chin to hold the violin in place, but that's a more common posture with fiddle music and not necessarily incorrect. That being said, it seems like placing it on his bowtie would be uncomfortable.
The violin's bridge (holds the strings off the body of the instrument) seems very short to me. Other than that, the violin itself seems pretty well drawn.
Most of these details are fairly negligible and can be chalked up to the fact that animating a violin being played the same way as it would be played in real like is probably very difficult. That being said, having the instrument on the wrong side entirely is a pretty big oversight.
Hi! I’m just curious about Rocky from Lackadaisy, and if there’s any inaccuracies in his playing within the pilot.
[I.D: Screenshot of Lackadaisy where Rocky plays violin on a bridge. Behind him is one of the bridge's support beams and a view of a river, the moon, and a city on the river banks. His bow is on the strings, a little closer to the frog than the tip. End I.D]
Admittedly I'm not familiar with this show, but I did go ahead and find this scene of him playing violin, and honestly, I'm pretty impressed with how it's animated. There seems to be a good deal of care and attention put into how Rocky plays, and there's a couple things that I really appreciated.
[I.D. Two screenshots side by side of Rocky playing violin. His bow sits on the strings at the tip as he shifts to about fifth position, his hand moving to rest against the body of the instrument. End I.D.]
First of all: shifting. It's a pretty common thing in more advanced violin music, but isn't necessarily shown that much. It's really nice seeing it show up, especially in such a casual moment of a guy playing for himself as he monologues. He's not performing for anyone, but he's still playing well.
Another example of his variety in technique: in the clip, he uses his left hand (bow hand) to pluck the strings at one point, and plays double stops (two strings at once) at a few others. I get the sense listening to the music he's playing that he knows what he's doing, and is probably a decently advanced musician. Also, the music that he plays is impressive, as he basically seems to be improvising in this scene. He's messing around, basically, but there's solid technique behind it.
There's also a lot of attention paid to which string he's playing on- the angle of the bow is very different for the higher notes and the lower notes, meaning that the animators were actually paying attention to how a violin would be played. For example, in the above screenshots, he's playing on the E string (high notes), and has a mostly vertical bow. I also appreciate the fluidity of his bowing in the clip, especially the wrist position and movements.
There are a couple of shots in the clip where the proportions of the violin seem off- mostly at the start, when it looks too big for him. There's some weird bow hand positions are some points, and also a few places where the fingering seems a bit off. A lot of the time his fingers don't really seem to be changing the string they're on, but that's a matter of trying to animate super precise motions that most people wouldn't notice so I'll let it slide lol. (And to be fair, fingering probably works different when you have less fingers anyway. Maye his violin would be tuned differently than a real one?)
His violin doesn't seem to have a chin rest and he isn't using a shoulder rest either, but again, that makes sense from an animation standpoint. Besides, while those are common in modern day playing, this show has more of a historical distant past setting from what I can tell.
My overall vibe from this character is that he clearly knows what he's doing with his violin, but that he's also just playing for himself. He's not performing, he's not trying to impress anyone, he's just playing violin and enjoying it. I might be a little more critical of a few areas of weird technique if he were supposed to be playing an existing piece or performing for an audience, but overall I think for the most part the breaks in technique match the general air of carelessness/ carefreeness Rocky is giving off.
I do, however, question how often he would have to replace his strings given that long nails are a no-no with violins, and he has obviously pointed claws. He probably breaks his strings fairly often lol.

Okay so in case y'all don’t know, this is from Pose. A series about the black trans community and ball culture in new York during the 80’s. Its got vogueing, lgbt+ culture, history, drama, romance, comedy, tragedy. Its wonderful and historically accurate and all the trans people are played by real trans actors.
its not a trend

Some people are taking "Nobody in history has died of a THC overdose" as a challenge.
Love the people in the notes like "this would fix me" bestie this thing would dissolve your brain into a fine mist. You would discover the kind of mental illnesses Freud could only dream of. Forget meeting the Hat Man this is what turns you into the Hat Man. This is worse than that torture drug that makes you expirience 600 billion years in a second. This is the secret to honest to god shifting. The fucking MK-ULTRA era CIA would tell you to dial it back if you showed them this thing. This is the closest humans have ever come to making a physical manifestation of a bad idea. The only thing this is fixing is fixing to turn you inside out.
