Amazon Credit Card! <3

I have been using my Amazon Credit Card since it came out. 

https://www.amazon.com/Credit-Cards/b?node=1266766011&_encoding=UTF8&tag=character08-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=9432496add8cb4d4c1cb6ce710ecbd51&camp=1789&creative=9325

Now that whole foods is part of Amazon, if you are a Prime member you can link your card to the prime benefits which include 5% cashback on both Amazon and Wholefood purchases. There’s a lot more benefits, but just these two alone are amazing. :D

Oh and did I mention there’s no annual fee? I know... whaa!!!!

Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions

I recently did a  google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close.

Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me know any feedback. I’ll update this post when I add more. 

Update #1:  “Earlybird” filter, auto-cropping tools added. Update #2: “Brannan”, “X Pro II” added  Update #3: Sutro, Lomo-fi, Inkwell, Lord Kelvin, Walden added. Also added 5 borders that can be applied with one-click. Update #4: “Gotham”, “Hefe”, “Toaster” added

Nashville:

Earlybird*:

Brannan*:

X-Pro II: 

*need some tweaks

Need help installing? Youtube user ImzTech has made a handy help video.

Crunchyroll Premium memberships now allow free access to Manga. For those who don't know what Crunchyroll is, it's simply the Netflix for Anime, they also have a membership for Japanese Drama or you can save on both if you become a All Access Premium member.

If you want to try Crunchyroll for free, here's a couple of 48hr guest passes. ;) https://www.crunchyroll.com/acct/guestpass&code=9G6JAGGFHFY

I'm currently enjoying the following anime:

- Parasyte -the maxim-

- Naruto Shippuden

- Fairy Tail

- Kuroko's Basketball Season 3

Being a member for 3 years, I admit that it's a great service. For those who don't want or can't pay, many series are available for free along with commercials.

Useful Websites

A great place to start! 

There should be really few reasons why you don't follow your loved path. It's understandable that college education can be expensive and not everyone can get loans. There is however a lot of free resources or low cost that anyone can access to start.

I actually tell my students this all the time. Watch a kid learning how to walk, and don’t tell me that’s not hard. And you DID that. At one point, the hardest thing you could imagine was learning how to write your name. You don’t remember the struggle anymore, but you got through it and now you don’t even think about it. Now writing your name is considered the easiest thing we can ask you to do. 

So don’t beat yourselves up too much. You’ve already done great things. You didn’t do them easily. You worked hard. Keep working hard, and you’ll do more great things. Promise.

Midnight sketching and decided to actually try and finish something. A friend of mine recently reminded me that progress is about finished projects not about perfection ones.

Sometimes we just need someone to remind us that what we do is already perfect, we need to let go of our fears and create what we set out to do in the first place. Let yourself be disappointed with the final result, not with the lack of trying. Only then can we make adjustments and improve!

Thanks Sarah-chan! :)

2014:

just fucking draw. don’t compare yourself to other people, don’t stop because you drew a lot last tuesday and you haven’t visibly improved. it takes time, effort, and a lot of perseverance. besides, no matter how “bad” you think you are, there’s still gonna be someone who thinks the stuff you produce is the best goddamn thing they’ve ever seen in their entire life. the artist you were five years ago would have their mind fucking blown by the artist you are today. so just draw a fuckton, because every new thing you draw is one drawing better than you were before.
