Looking for Something? (MASTER POST)

08/05/2021: Okay so there’s a bunch of newbies here. I had to change the title because Tumblr loves to fuck this post over.

I basically gave up fixing the tags here for a long time because it’s harder to update links when Tumblr keeps updating their html codes every 5 months

The best possible experience I can give you is to use this post on desktop or on a browser app instead.

Sorry for the inconvience, but please before you send an ask, check out my Other: Queen Speaks tag first, Thanks

-QueenSweeties

21/01/2019: *I tried updating it so it can Mobile friendly, but it still isn’t working well. Since the tumblr update it screwed both Android and Apple users. What I tried today is replacing http:// to https://

Unfortunately it barely made a difference. If you can still manage to get through to a post with the tag you’re looking for, click on the tag itself applied on the post. Sorry for the inconvenience

I am not one to know anything about coding and please consider my Other: Queen Speaks tag before heading to my inbox. Thanks

I collected my art tips on hands over the years. It ended up being 54 pages of notes I took and some guides I tried to create for myself. Maybe some of these can be useful to others as well. You can buy the pdf here or join my Patreon to get it for free.

Well do I got a blog for you!

Hello, friends!

I reworked the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture from my comics-teaching days, figured I'd share it here. If you want a free, printable PDF for yourself or to share (especially if you're an educator), you can find it at the bottom of this same lesson on my website.

I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.

[daxdraggon]

ok but i found the best picture ever

look at her she's so cute and happy i love this photo

[once-a-polecat]

This image comes from a whole gallery of Taishō era b&w photos, many of them showing everyday work clothes.

[prince-rosalium]

The pants she's wearing are called monpe. I just made a pair yesterday in a day.

You can learn how to make them here, but this video is in Japanese. If you have basic sewing knowledge, you should be able to get it.

There is no pattern, only a cutting guide. 2 meters of fabric is able to do it perfectly with no fabric waste whatsoever.

Perfect for people who always feel like their clothes never fit! If you are concerned about the size, here are the pants on me (5', 90lbs) and my husband (6'1, don't know but he looks like fanart of Laios).

if you think you are bigger than my husband, all you have to do is scale the rectangles up so this measurement is 1/4 of your waist measurement.

But don't worry if it isn't perfect.

You can wear them as regular pants, or over kimono.

I want you to make these pants. Make monpe and experience the joys of adjustable clothing that will stay with you for years. Experience the joy of sewing something you know will fit and be well-made and usable, with no precise measurements besides hemming them to your height. Put on these pants and feel superior because you made something that the store could never give you.

Weight fluctuations? Pregnancy? Really thick kimono? Need to wear a lot of layers? No problem. Monpe will help you. Monpe will always be there for you. You can't get that at the mall with the rest of the slave labor clothes.

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.

[danidarkarts]

Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!

Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!

Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

[redstonedust]

pet peeve is when you look up fashion references from a specific era and you keep getting modern day '[era]-inspired' fashion like NO i want authenticity damn it. i can see your 2020 photo quality and your 2020 hair and your 2020 makeup. youre not fooling me.

[bincliff]

hello i'm a historical fashion researcher and i have a lot of experience looking up things! this is a very widely experienced irritation and you're definitely not alone in this, but i am here to share everything i know!

so, ways to get around this:

turn off AI results. they're literally nonsense to us

don't use pinterest because the sources/provenance is often hard to trace

a standard internet search can be okay, but museum collections are the top tier (list of collections below this list)

instead of broad terms like victorian, regency, tudor, renaissance etc. try using the decade you're looking for. if you're not sure of what decade it is but have a vague image in your head, look on the fashion history timeline and just jump around until you find it. but even changing to e.g. 19th century will give better results than victorian

including terms like womenswear/menswear, daywear, formal wear, evening wear, court dress should increase the value of your search too

including "fashion plates" in your search can give you a nice impression of the intended silhouettes of the era. some of these might be a little stylised but will show you what was considered in vogue

for pre-fashion plate eras or things like makeup and styling, you'll have to look at portraiture or manuscripts. these are harder to actually find what you're looking for, but searching museum collections and limiting results to specific date ranges will be your friend

when looking at art, do bear in mind sometimes artists would paint fabric extra flow-y to show off their skills. it might not have been exactly like that in terms of fabric weight or drape. so, a pinch of salt required!

if you find something on image search where the provenance is dubious, reverse image search and you might find a source! i've been able to trace random pinterest images to real sources, but this does take a lot of time and effort and is often not worth the headache

some online resources and museum collections:

fashion history timeline is an invaluable resource if you're trying to get a feel for everything and should be your first port of call. it'll also link to good examples

the met has a vast number of extant examples of clothing, as well as fashion plates

costume institute fashion plates is a subcollection of the met for fashion plates (1800s-1922)

v&a also has many extant garments, fashion plates, and incredible articles on clothing and aesthetics. read the details of the objects because they'll often reveal a lot about the piece

lacma is good for C19th-20th pieces

nypl digital collection for photographs

national portrait gallery or similar for portraiture, or literally any museum in your country that has historical art

national museums scotland can be useful situationally but might be oddly specific

stout style history is a great collection for finding image references for fat people wearing historical clothes. survival bias of a lot of museum pieces tends towards smaller clothing that couldn't be repurposed, but this aims to counter that. it's not sortable, but is still a really nice resource

wikimedia commons is surprisingly handy! and the images, if you should need to link/repost them, are public domain

auction websites sound like a funny one to recommend. some won't have mannequins and some will. just look up historical garment auctions and you'll find some!

anyway, i hope this has been a good place to start for anyone interested! there are probably some i've missed because there are so many museums across the world and i don't know about all of them or can't remember them. but these are the ones i've used the most! (my specialisation/jobs i've had to research for have only really been in western fashion, so my resources reflect that)

[haemey]

Wikipedia has a list of fashion museums. Unfortunately, the page itself is only available in German, but the introductory paragraph is very short and after that, it's organised by country, and then it's a simple list. If you click on a museum's article, the website is usually linked in the overview table.

There are quite a few artists here, so I think someone might need it!

I suffer from BPD, and every time I have a little blackout and start talking crazy nonsense, when my head clears I often write a post on my telegram blog that dispels the thoughts that tormented me. I decided to translate it for ya! Some of my recent ones.

Don't say "ugh I don't have a consistent style or vibe" Say "holy shiiit my style's flexible as hell — I can do this, I can do that, I can do whatever the hell I want, and every single time I bring something fresh to the table for everyone." The theory of originality: Perhaps everyone around you seems more unique than you simply because you don't consider that they surround themselves with ABSOLUTELY different content. In one way or another, you surround yourself with things that YOU are FAMILIAR with and YOU like, so it seems that your work is like a a re-invented bicycle without any uniqueness. You literally can't please/impress everyone — like, some people are into ideas that are just straight-up messed up. You're not gonna break the law just to impress them, right? And some folks? Only like anime boys. That’s it. Nothing else exists for them. Just anime boys 24/7. They won't like your cartoonish women. Then there’s the chill types who kinda like everything, but only a little. Even if they see something they really respect and like, they’ll just smile and scroll on. That’s just how they are — lowkey, not passionate about anything. Some people don’t like kind-hearted folks. Some people hate jokes. Like, they physically can't enjoy it. And some people hate when there’s no jokes. You could sit someone in front of the greatest comedians on Earth and they’d just throw up. You could show someone a cinematic masterpiece, and they’ll storm off mid-scene, cursing at the screen because it’s not anime. Trying to please everyone is a pointless game. It’s better to connect with people who actually feel your vibe. Even one of those people is worth more than dozens, hundreds even, who don’t get it at all.

As a bonus, i drew Wilson cheering for y'all! :D Hope that helps

You probably get asked this a lot, but how do you draw hands? Even when I'm tracing, they look so weird 🙃

I could probably go on and on and on about hands, but here are some key points I compiled! I LOVE drawing hands, and I never hesitate to use my own as a reference
