where my heart is

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

Going insane and collecting drawing advice from all the artists I can before I fall asleep. What is your favourite bit of art advice, and what is your easiest piece of drawing advice?

Don't compare yourself to other people. "Comparison is the thief of joy" A friend of mine said to me, back when we were in animation college, that she was speaking to an art director in the industry and he said to her - "There will always be 100 people better than you but you will always be better than 1000 people". Celebrate other peoples work and your own. Be inspired, not jealous. As for easiest. Draw something every day no matter how small it is and improvement will come with consistency. Also here's a link to a fantastic resource: Art resources

Actually nevermind. I was going to say that kirk and spock definitely were doing weird freaky butt stuff together but my phone autocorrected it to "smirk and cock" when I wrote it out initially and I think thats a lot funnier

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
