Quick Anatomy Tips by rm_manga
do you ever just
“no that’s not dramatic and cheesy enough”
“getting warmer”
“t HERE IT IS”
i love this but i dont know how to do this
hoW
For those wondering about HOW to do this, here’s a short explanation according to me:
Drawing A to Drawing B: -the most obvious change is the exaggeration of the line of motion in the character.
In Drawing B the line of motion is much more pronounced, creating more drama and movement to the whole composition
-The arms are open wider, showing more confidence and exuberance in the character, exaggerating their emotions so they can be more clearly read without having to look to the face for emotional cues.
-the legs are wider apart, adding to the aforementioned confidence but also giving the character a solid foundation, visually speaking.
-The head is tilted back and overlapped by the chest, adding a touch of dynamic perspective to the drawing.
Drawing B to Drawing C: -Most obvious change is to zoom in on the character. Character framing is just as important as what the character is doing. Zooming in can help infensify emotions. this shot is ALL about this character and what they’re feeling. -Because of the zooming in, the arms/hands would have gotten lost, so instead of making the canvas wider, the artist has elected to rotate the character slightly, bringing a dynamic angle to things and more intensity to the close shot. -While the character is more upright in this shot compared to Drawing B, in Drawing C the chest still slightly overlaps the neck, preserving the feeling of being slightly below the character (putting them in a position of power relative to the viewer), which helps maintain confidence and power in the character. -the chest is exaggerated to carry the majority of the body’s line of action so even though you cannot see the legs, our brains are able to fill in the gap and envision that line of action. -The cropping/framing of the character allows for a more interesting composition/negative shapes created by the positive (character) on the negative (background), creating more visual interest as well as a circular motion to the composition through the arms, across the face to the negative space for the eyes to rest in before dropping to the hand in the background and back through the composition again.
Pretty sure I’ve posted this before. But worth a repost
in 1842 the church commissioned Joseph Geefs to sculpt something to the theme of “the Triumph of Religion over the Genius of Evil.” He did so, by creating the ‘L'ange du mal‘ (left), also known as ‘the angel of evil’. This work was a sculpture of Lucifer. Joseph Geefs was soon after told that his work generated controversy and did not representing the Christian ideal. Joseph Geefs was told that the sculpture held “unhealthy beauty” and the local press said his work would be distracting to “pretty penitent girls”, so the piece was removed from the church.
Then, in 1848, Joseph’s older brother, Guillaume Geefs, was commissioned to created the same piece with the same theme of “the Triumph of Religion over the Genius of Evil.” His piece was the ‘Le génie du mal’ (right), also known as ‘the genius of evil’, and was also a sculpture of Lucifer. Guillaume Geefs’ work was felt to hold the same “unhealthy beauty”, but it did continue to serve as a replacement to the ‘L’ange du Mal’ and, to this day, still sits in the Liège Cathedral despite its unhealthy beauty.
so, accentually, Joseph’s Lucifer was too attractive to be put in the church so they hired his brother, hoping he would make something ‘more appropriate’, and he turned around and made something even more attractive.
to this day, this is one of my favorite art history moments
That's incredibly cool-
Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.
Don’t do this. Do not.
I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.
Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!
As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation.
I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.
Very important!
As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.
Kent Rogowski: Love = Love, 2006-2008
Love=Love is a series of collages that were created using pieces of over 60 store bought puzzles. Although puzzle pieces are unique, and can only fit into one place within a puzzle, they are sometimes interchangeable within a brand. These puzzles were cut using the same die, but depict unrelated images. Using only the flowers and skies from each of the puzzles, I created a series of entirely new compositions by recombining the puzzle pieces. These spectacular, fantastical and surreal landscapes sit in direct contrast to the banal and bucolic images of the original puzzles. (artist statement)
I respect that you are a serious and insightful artist making an important statement but you need to know that every single one of these fills me with visceral, barely bridled hatred.
Scammer Targeting Tumblr Artists
The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post
What is happening?
Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake ‘cheap commissions’. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of “Hey, i’m doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get one”. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.
Who does this affect?
Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you haven’t been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.
How can we stop this?
Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about ‘minor’ occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Don’t do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don’t impersonate anyone. While you’re free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can’t pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someone’s identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom aren’t being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - aren’t an artist or don’t know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves it’s ‘ranking’ in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We don’t need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we don’t need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue.
Why should I care?
It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;
“I’m not being impersonated, so it doesn’t affect me”
“I’m just one person. I can’t make an impact”
“I need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirs”
This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. I’m not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans aren’t being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so don’t be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Don’t just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!
TL:DR
A scammer is impersonating artists and scamming money from their followers under the guise of ‘cheap commissions’. If we ignore the issue, it will get worse. Every single person that reads this can afford to spend just 10 seconds to reblog and share this post. Those 10 seconds can save others from being scammed for hundreds of dollars. Reblog & Share
I think most people know by now that writers love feedback and comments on their fics and just how important even a one line comment is. But I feel like people don’t always realise that this extends to random posts about our WIP here on tumblr too.
Interaction is so hard to find on here and maybe it’s because you feel like you’re not allowed to just jump on someone else’s post and start talking or that you’d be bothering us but I know that for me and many of the writers i know on here, we would adore it if you did!
If you see a post about my WIP or one of my OCs and you have ThoughtsTM or FeelingsTM about that, please reblog and say so! (reblogs are especially good because it helps us find an audience). If you think my OC would be firends with your OC and you want to ramble about yours for paragraphs to prove that to me, please go ahead! if you spot a similarity between our WIPs that’s pretty cool, tell me so I can get invested in your work too!
Interaction is so damn cool and you are always welcome to tell me anything you like on my writing posts, even if you’re worried it will be annoying - I promise it won’t be!
THIIIIISSSSS!!!!!!!
Seriously. I sprang into “writeblr success” (is that even a thing???) Just by dropping some asks on some fellow writeblrs. If something moves me, I leave a comment, or reblog. The responses are always FANTASTIC. I’ve met such cool people (And even cooler OCs oh my god! Secretly pining sea captains? Magical rune hammers? Literal gods in their reincarnated, genderfluid glory? Space farmers?). We all sit around as writers, secretly dying inside to talk about our babies. Open those floodgates! Talk to a writer! You (probably) won’t regret it.
This is such a good post about something that is so inherently powerful and inspiring to writers! I think it is such a motivating and amazing experience to be able to talk with others about your writing and characters and theirs as well, and you can learn so much and meet so many people through that way too. I’ve only been on writeblr for a few weeks but I’ve already met so many amazing people and found so many incredible WIPS and writers to follow just because of the amazing conversations everyone has with one another! I cannot wait to see and read more from other people about their amazing creations and get to talk to them about it, and I hope you guys are excited too ‘cause it’s so much fun!
people are STILL OUT HERE IN 2018 W BLACK TEXT ON DARK PURPLE AND DARK BLUE BACKGROUNDS. WHY.
lads, literally the very first rule of web design is READABILITY.
you have to have contrast between your background and your text.
like…….you pretty much can’t have a dark background if you have black text because it’s super difficult to read; if i have to highlight and puzzle out what your text says because it’s two shades different than your background? i and 95% of people looking at your page are going to hit that back button REAL fast
And my most recent one of Gaster! Kinda took a little break after that, I'll eventually get inspiration back- Done on MediBang Paint, a re-draw of [goTtA link tHe POST]
The most recent one of Grillby. Based off the sketch a few posts ago [need to link it] and done on MediBang Paint.
3 drawings done of sans! Based on the sketches [need to link the post] and his original sprite.
GRILLBY HEADCANNON
So I don’t remember how I thought of it, and I dunno if anyone else has thought of it, but “Teacher by day, Bartender by night.”
I dUNNO HOW DOES THAT SOUND?
I thought it sounded really cool.
Grillby has his bar on the surface, but he wanted something else to do. So he got a job as a teacher.
I would think Chemistry or Literature… Probably because those are my favorite subjects and I had two of my favorite teachers in them XD
And I could see Grilbz being a sort of casual teacher who everyone loves. He really tries to make sure everyone understands the work.
I can imagine Fanart that I WAnT buT cOUlD nOT eASILy DRAw-one side, he’s leaning against a desk, arms crossed, and .. Ankles too XD I think he’d have a pretty neat desk. The chalkboard would have some chem/lit related stuff on it. (Do people even use chalboards anymore? I started online school in 5th grade XD so I don’t know)
And then the other side he’s in his bar, making a drink, on the surface and Sans is sitting at the bar, as usual.
He’s got a mixed class, of both humans and monsters (including Frisk and MK)
I LOVE THE IDEA AND MAYBE I’LL TRY TO DRAW IT OOF
