Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Boosting this in case any of the programs and books suggested are useful.

All the photos on this tumblr ad the animal photo reference site I run is another resource available for artists to use!

As long as you’re not using AI to create your art, you can reference / trace / draw / recombine / make any sort of art you want, with any of the photos, for free.

If you can’t afford to pay for books, see what your library has and if your library doesn’t have anything good, ask if they will interlibrary loan it for you. I did it with two books on cartooning last year.

i want to read a very specific fanfic and i’m so mad that i can’t (it’s sitting in my drafts) (unfinished)

[honeypiehotchner]

so glad this post is resonating with people bc it’s still resonating with me as i am once again not working on said fanfics that i want to read

[thedreamthieves]

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

PLEASE SUPPORT A DISABLED HOMELESS LESBIAN

please help me. i’m a disabled lesbian who has been surviving on the streets since the beginning of the year. i’ve been forced to turn to sex work to keep my basic needs met but the men are disgusting and treat me like shit and i still spend most nights camping in garbage enclosures and eating scraps that the local food places throw me. i’ve applied for section 8 and community housing but i already know that i’m going to be on the waitlist for a bit. i just want to take a shower and have a roof over my head for a few nights without having to sleep with someone to do so. if you have anything you can spare, please consider sending it my way. every little bit helps. i’m sorry for not posting more frequently, my body feels like it’s falling apart and the walk to the library is getting harder and harder on me. please keep this post circulating in my absence. thank you for reading

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

Local house witch telling you to please learn basic housekeeping skills.

It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you but YouTube is a magical place and can teach you at your own pace.

[coinandcandle]

Someone asked me what housekeeping skills I’d recommend learning.

Keep in ming that this is not me shaming you, I know you have your reasons, folks. This is just a guy who enjoys clean spaces asking that you start learning now.

Here’s what I suggest as an adult who has lived with other adults who didn’t have housekeeping skills:

First and foremost, learn about all the places in your house that need to be cleaned and understand how often they should be cleaned. the American Cleaning Institute (I guess that’s a thing) has a good article about basic cleaning info. Plus this video on cleaning tips is great!

Learn how to do your dishes. HOT water is the only way to clean your dishes.

Learn how to clean your shower head, especially if you live in a place with hard water. Same goes for your sinks.

Learn how to do your laundry correctly. Even without the whole “separating whites and colors” thing, there are things you need to learn about washing your clothes. Learn what the tags mean, too.

Also, you don’t have to use fabric softener and you shouldn’t use it on towels or any fabric meant to absorb. (Learn about laundromats) And please learn how to clean out your dryer vent, it’s a safety hazard!

Get a disinfecting cleaner for your high-touch areas, especially the gross ones like the bathroom. Just because it doesn’t look dirty, doesn’t mean it’s clean!

Learn how to sweep, mop, and vacuum effectively.

You’ll also want to make sure to change out your home’s air filters.

TL;DR, here are some cleaning videos.

How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom

How to Clean Everything in Your Kitchen

Livingroom Cleaning Routine

How to Clean Everything in Your Bedroom

Now these resources are not the end-all-be-all, but I think if you don’t know much about cleaning your space this is a good way to start.

[thumperdaetime]

here’s some of the things that are helping me actually clean (as an adult who had messy parents, and has a hard time getting threw my nurodivergency about cleaning specifically) that may be helpful to you:

Favorite Cleaning Book: it helps you work through the emotional side of cleaning (and other care tasks)

Current Favorite Decluttering Method/Concept: it helps you know how much is too much to keep and how to get started when you’re overwhelmed. (having too much stuff makes it incredibly hard to clean/organize.)

Basic Cleaning Skills: this channel is amazing! this man has a special interest in cleaning and cleans people’s spaces who deal nurodivergence that make it hard to clean. he does this for free (or at a deficit because he pays for supplies and dumpsters and transport and such) and does it all with empathy and kindness working With the people as much as people can handle instead of just coming in to “fix” an issue. these videos are a bit different from his usual ones, (the last one’s most like his usual videos) but i find having the sped up cleaning videos with a voiceover can help fill in for body doubling when im too ashamed to bring people into my messy spaces.

I’m gonna queue this as well so you’ll be seeing it again from me in a few months without any comments on it, but this is all good things to know

entire article makes me homicidal

Women's Olympic sports limited to biological females from 2028 - IOC

The women's category of Olympic sports will be limited to biological females from 2028, says the International Olympic Committee.

"this will keep out pretty much all intersex people and a lot of black women but oh well! btw men don't have any such test to go through"

[librarycards]

Adding my tags as a reply bc fuck it:

Has anyone mentioned how this opens up every woman competing to even more sexual abuse than she would have most likely already experienced during the process of elite athletic training? Like, any woman who wants to compete is being told that the price of going to the olympics is being molested. This is a structural, required component that is now part of the rules.

We need to talk about these "exams" as a form of sexual violence. Because they are.

[karlmarxmaybe]

Hi it's good that we're pointing out how this is bad for cis women (because it is) but also I think it is worth pointing out that

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS LEGISLATION IS TO CATEGORICALLY BAN TRANS WOMEN FROM THE OLYMPICS. THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM AND WHAT ANY SERIOUS CRITIQUE OF THE LEGISLATION MUST FOCUS ON.

News article from March 30, 2026

[pupmon1]

So we're just gonna nod and chatter our teeth at an ad riddled business news site with a known right wing lean who's main source is a fucking tweet?

Okay. Cool.

Yeah. Let's do that.

With a single news source. That doesn't typically cover news like this, nor cover the news it typically covers all that well.

Good plan.

[hagiomoto]

The tweet is from an actual diplomat you fucking twerp

It's not his fault that only Times of India take his tweet seriously. That's what usually happens whenever non-white diplomats make statements on their twitter accounts.

Fuck off

It's a Trap: How to Spot Anti-Trans Resources | Scarleteen

Maybe you’ve noticed: there’s been a shift in how people and movements that are anti-trans present themselves, and it feels designed to make

"So much of the current anti-trans rhetoric hides behind language of “concern.” If you’re a parent or other supportive adult who is earnestly concerned about a young person, that language can make you feel like seeking support that may or does include gender-affirming care for a trans youth isn’t a wise or caring decision. This is the exact reason that language is being used.

Think back to anti-abortion rhetoric, for example, to the bills that force waiting periods (waiting periods we know only make things more difficult for those seeking abortion) deceptively stating they are out⁠ of “concern” that the people seeking abortions are rushing their decision. It’s the same thing with trans care; “concern” is used to introduce a (often poorly disguised) barrier to care, in hopes of eventually making that care inaccessible.

I’m going to go over some of the clues that a resource or person’s only concern is directing people away from trans-affirming care and towards harmful, anti-trans spaces or approaches.

I’ll get to the list in a second, but my biggest piece of advice is: If a resource, person, or service presents being trans as the result of trauma⁠, social contagion, peer pressure or of literally anything other than one of the many ways humans experience gender, do not pass go."

husband just reminded me of that time years ago when we were running a co-op farm in stardew valley

after we got married in-game it did the thing it does and asked us if we wanted to have a baby

we were like yeah sure why not, we're not having kids irl so may as well have a cute lil' virtual baby that costs us nothing and we can turn into a dove at any time

like the very next day we got that super rare 0.8% chance event that we had NO CLUE ABOUT where a freaking alien capsule drops on your farm in the middle of the night and the next day it's like shattered and whatever was inside is running loose

and we just froze and looked at each other like "??? is this our baby???" 😭😔

Hey so I thought we as userbase should organize spontaneous blackout protest against shapes inc ads here. I thought Feb 26th would be a good date (so ppl has 72 hrs notice if they want to participate), we would log off for 24hrs to show tumblr we are not okay with that (and also for shapes to get less ad revenue for a day in a process lol). Tag would be 'anti shapes inc protest'

If you like the idea/want to participate, help spread the word by reblogging this ask. Thanks <3

I would happily comply with this, hopefully enough people participate for it to make an impact!

[i-put-the-hyper-in-hyperfixated]

i'm gonna do this and hope many others will too, however i'm not going to say you have to. however i do hope some of you join me on discord or bluesky on the 26th to stick it to tumblr and shapes.inc!

@satan-offical could you spread this around, please? :]

[spacecat24-7]

@ohnoitstbskyen and @elsa-fogen would you please consider spreading the word?

Heretic Doctor

Note: my HC is that dottore/zandik has hereditary anti social disorder passed down from his mother. Please let me know if I am not representing the disorder correctly, I'll change whatever I need to in order to make it accurate. Also another thing to keep in mind I still think dottore is very traumatized + abused, I just also have this hc mixed in.

Zandik always knew something about him was what society deemed 'abnormal' and frankly so did everyone else. Maybe that's why his father gave him a name that meant heretic.

He recalls one of his earliest memories. He was particularly close with one of the animals that his village kept. He spent a lot of time with the animal at least. One day he was notified that the animal was slaughtered. Everyone expected him to start crying, After all he was about 5 years old at the time. it was expected from a child his age that was so close to said slaughtered animal. After all, other children were balling their eyes out next to him. But instead he just stayed silent. Was his reaction not normal? Was he not normal? All these questions were in his head.

That was the first instance where he realized, the way he experienced the world wasn't normal.

The second was during his time at the academia. He'd gotten a letter explaining that his father was terribly sick, most likely going to die soon. The letter asked him to come home to say goodbye to his father and attend the inevitable funeral that'd be held. He should feel something, anything. That is what society has deemed appropriate, isn't it? Even if his father didn't really like him. However, that same emptiness returned. In reality he felt nothing. But he went back home anyway. His father had done bare minimum to raise him but any fatherly love expected of them wasn't present. Instead of going back cause he cared, he went back for the formality of it.

His father hadn't passed by the time he got home, so he got to witness his father speaking his regrets. How he should've done more for him, how he wished he spent more time with his only son. He blankly stared at him, watching as he cried and begged for forgiveness. He didn't feel sympathy or empathy for the man. All he felt was pride. Pride that he was being seen for the amazing creature he is. But otherwise, he didn't feel any sort of grief.

His father died gripping to his sleeve and begging for forgiveness. The funeral was held the day afterwards. Everyone was crying, paying their respects.

He was the odd one out, simply just wanting to get it over with.

Now, presently, he uses this quirk of his to his advantage. He doesn't feel sympathy or empathy when he does something horrible or when something horrible happens. And boy has it helped his research reach it's full potential.

Dottore is happy with who he is. It pays greatly when your experimenting the most insane things.
