āThe Shooterā - A story that I came up with two years ago actually but only just now got to draw it out. As a fan of storytelling I always let the art dictate the medium and this one seemed like it could only live as a comic. Hope you all have a great weekend!
this is such a cool comic idea
damn cupid
Thereās three main groups: the flexors and extensors each take one half of the forearm, and the ridge muscles sit on top like a little tiara. Each group has itās own unique form. Learning their anatomy will help you design awesomely dynamic arms.
Letās try to make forearms manageable to draw. This is a body part most artists donāt quite understand. It can be real intimidating if you donāt know the muscles.
The arm has a simple chain design and the forms interlock down the arm.
To avoid the snowman effect, use straight, angular lines and look for asymmetries. Compare the apex of both sides of the forearm to understand the curvature better. Notice that the flexors reach lower on the wrist than the extensors and ridge muscles.
Look for this kind of thing when youāre drawing the gesture of the muscle groups. A wave rhythm where the curve on one side leads into the next curve on the other side.
Iāll explain more in-depth in the videoĀ - www.proko.com/179
Super helpful tutorial!

I got the best beanie baby ever on friday, Morrie the eel from the year 2000 (when beanie babies didnt have fucking creepy gigantic eyes)
Competitive Overwatch is fun and playing support is fun
This better be the Christmas skin for Genji or else Iām going to riot
From 02 Oct 2016 (long post ahead) Drew this comic to vent my frustrations at that time. Thought I had gotten over burnout after June but nope, the lingering tiredness was still there (I'm better now hopefully). It came to the point where I couldn't be engrossed in drawing anymore (my number one love alongside gaming, how could dis happen?!) and wanted to spend more time on other things in life. Heck, I actually found usually mundane tasks like grocery shopping and chores were more exciting than sitting at the desk all day lol. At least such activities were brief pauses for me to collect my thoughts and just live in the moment. Guess this is part of maturing as an artist/illustrator to draw for a living than for a hobby where there were little expectations, plenty of time and where your imagination runs free. Didn't want to post this at first cos I wasn't sure if this is a common issue in the industry and I didn't want to sound whiny but I guess I'll just post for retrospective.
My best friend @aziemahkbz_art modelled my character, Scarlett the Macaw, for her 3D minor project at Lasalle!! AAAH you always create art of my characters in mediums I've always wanted to do them in but never had the time or knowledge to - clay sculpture, 2D animated illustration, and now this!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR WORK HNNG thank you so much QvQ;; I could be nitpicky and point out some details to be improved on but given your hectic schedule at that time, I think you captured Scarlett's likeness and proportions very closely already!! QAQ Thank you ahh and hang in there, just a lil more till graduation (>QAQ<) Looking forward to when we have time to create something together soon! šš (Would've put a watermark or some text with our names but my phone video editor was being stubbornnn)
Tips for making it as a professional illustrator / cartoonist
Recently Iāve been asked a lot about how to make it as a freelance illustrator / cartoonist, which made me realize that Iāve been doing this āprofessionallyā for 10 years now! Here are some tips that I hope will be helpful for anyone aspiring to take this weird life pathā¦ *If you have doubts about becoming a professional artistā¦ donāt Iām not saying you give up on all creative activies, on the contrary I think EVERYONE should have some sort of creative outlet. But enjoying a hobby is not the same as doing something for a living. Being a āprofessionalā artist does not guarantee you any sort of social or economic stability. There will be moments (specially at the beginning) when you will have to compromise your passion to pay the bills by drawing things that may be quite boring and uninspiring. If you are not able to do that, then maybe you should find another job to pay the bills and keep your art making on your free time. *Talent is nothing without hard work Be consistent! Draw every day, as much as you can! No one is born being good, every illustrator or cartoonist you admire has worked hard to get where they are. *Having an āart blockā is an excuse Donāt fall into this trap. If you really want to become a pro, you have to be able to make yourself to draw even when you donāt feel like it. If youāre frustrated creatively, go for a walk, clean your working space, draw stuff from life (objects, nature, people), stay productive. *Allow yourself to doodle mindlessly Not everything you make has to be an ultimate finished masterpiece. Some of my best ideas come from just making horrible doodles in my sketchbook that no one will ever see. *Draw for yourself and be your own best critic Learn to accept criticism and opinions, but remember that in the end you will never be able to please EVERYONE. And thatās ok. Strive to make stuff that YOU like, stuff that YOU want to see in this world. Trends will come and go, stay true to yourself. *Take inspiration from EVERYWHERE Donāt just stare at your favourite artistsā tumblr all day. Open your mind to as many sources of inspiration as you can: old artists, new artists, nature, dreams, memories, ancient cultures, modern atrocities, outerspace, literature, movies, etc. The more you take in, the more you will allow your work to grow and the more original it will become *Experiment with as many mediums as you can Donāt close yourself to one medium, colour scheme, format, style, etc. Try everything once, enjoy it with no expectations rather than to experiment! *Strive for consistency rather than having a āstyleā Donāt obssess over finding your āstyleā. Allow it to keep evolving at its own pace, it will keep changing naturally. Focus more on just drawing, and drawing a lot! *It doesnāt matter if you go to school or not If academia works for you, and you can afford it, go for it. If not, then as long as you keep working, you have a chance to make it. I only have a high school ādegreeā but thanks to the internet Iāve been able to learn whatever I want for free, like how to use Photoshop or build websites. Having a degree does not guarantee you will make it as a professional illustrator. Working hard and ānetworkingā are a better bet. *Expensive tools arenāt mandatory I draw all my comics with just a mechanical pencil and I have a 10 year old wacom tablet. I only splurge on nice Fabriano paper. This is what Iāve found that works for me. Find whatever works best for YOU, it doesnāt have to be the same as what other people use! *Share your work anywhere you can If you can go to fests or shows, thatās great, but if you canāt, use the internet! I grew up in Mexico City where there is no ācomics sceneā but I was still able to make it because Iāve been consistently posting my work on the internet for years. Commit yourself to posting your work on Tumblr, Twitter or Instagram as often as you can. Try to have a separate account for your professional work that doesnāt feature a million photos of your beautiful cat and the delicious breakfast you made today. *Make merch What a better way to share your work than making merch? If you donāt know anywhere to get it made locally, you can easily get anything done through the internet (just google ācustomā¦ patches/pins/stickers/etc.ā) and sell it through Etsy, Storenvy or Bigcartel. Itās a great way to distribute your work and start make some money off of it. I started selling stickers with my drawings when I was in high school to get money for beers and now I pay my rent (partly) from that! *Donāt work for free Unless you really want to, because itās for a good cause, or you owe someone a favor. But otherwise, donāt. Exposure is not a currency. Always ask for a contract and/or at least half of what youāre charging IN ADVANCE to avoid wasting your time with flakes / ruining friendships. *Be patient and donāt give up It took me seven years to be able to sustain myself solely from freelance work and my webshop. It might take you less time, or maybe more, to get wherever you want to get. Keep going! NEVER STOP DRAWING, NEVER STOP MAKING, DONāT LET ANYTHING DISCOURAGE YOU! STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF! āInĆ©s
This is glorious.
Actually, thatās incorrect.Ā
It is common knowledge that 3 days is 72 hours, correct? However, we have evidence to prove that not all of that time was spent teleporting bread.
We know that when the Spy instructed the mercenaries to synchronize their death watches for the gathering to fulfill their last wishes, He told them to set it toĀ 70 hours, not 72. The scene after that lasts for approximately one minute, 25 seconds.
Thatās not all! We know that when Miss Pauling arrived to the base, The soldier was present with the Demoman and Spy, meaning he did not spend that time teleporting bread either. This scene lasts for about 54 seconds, adding on the time the mercenaries spent battling the bread monster, this puts the 54 seconds up to 3 minutes and 40 seconds.Ā
For those keeping track at home, weāve gotten up to a total of 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 5 seconds of confirmed time the soldier didĀ notĀ spend teleporting bread. This makes 7,505 seconds. Subtracting this from the 259,200 seconds above, the amount of bread loaves the soldierĀ actually teleported is 25,169!Ā
You did not read my argument!
Does it say you want my calculator?
Yes!
That was wild
I love this fandom. XD
Can I just say how much I love this?
